Back on September 4th, C. S. P. Schofield at Daily Timewaster put up this GIF image of a playful kitten. If anything embodies naughtiness on four legs, it’s this critter! Miss D. and I can’t stop giggling at it. It’s quintessential kitten behavior: “I’m going to be naughty – now chase me and try… Continue reading A week later, I’m still laughing

Blogorado 2019, Day 1
We had an interesting drive from North Texas to Colorado yesterday. The massive Arctic weather front that dropped temperatures by over 60 degrees Fahrenheit in Colorado yesterday had moved well into Texas. Miss D. and I ran into it just outside Chilicothe, where she took this amazing picture while I was driving. It isn’t wide… Continue reading Blogorado 2019, Day 1
The mane attraction
Here’s a lovely image (found on Gab yesterday) of a male lion with a truly magnificent (and unusually dark) mane. Lions are usually thought of as the only members of the cat family with a mane, but there must be a recessive gene or two in other cat populations as well. Our farm cat, Ashbutt,… Continue reading The mane attraction
Day 9 on the road: North Carolina to the Mississippi River
Miss D. and I left Brevard, NC on Monday morning, on our way home to Texas. We made a brief stop at the Bear Tracks Travel Center, which we’d visited on Day 6 of our tour. The owner (an older lady) had three large amethyst geodes for sale in her shop, which we’d noted on… Continue reading Day 9 on the road: North Carolina to the Mississippi River
Browsing cat is browsing
I think Ashbutt‘s trying to tell us, “You’d better not be looking at pictures of other cats!” Peter
Take one white mattress cover . . .
. . . wash it, tumble-dry it, and put it over the back of a chair to finish drying and air out. What happens next – at least, in this household? Why, it grows a cat, of course! Ashbutt regards any laundry temporarily placed on or draped over furniture – particularly if it’s still warm… Continue reading Take one white mattress cover . . .
Ashbutt is growing… and growing… and growing…
Those of you who’ve followed the saga of Ashbutt, the farm kitten we adopted last year, have seen several pictures of him as he’s been growing. He’s nine months old now, and shows no sign of slowing down. He’s gone from a tiny kitten to a 13-pound adolescent, and looks set fair to end up… Continue reading Ashbutt is growing… and growing… and growing…
He’s a growing boy
Ashbutt, our farm kitten, is still growing like a weed, and shows no sign of slowing down. (Given that he’s only five and a half months old, he’s probably got several more months until he reaches his full size.) This is him at 3 months old, when we brought him home, showing the coloration that… Continue reading He’s a growing boy
Adventures with Ashbutt – and toilets
You may recall that Ashbutt, our ‘new’ farm kitten, has fallen in love with little plastic-coated springs. Here he is with one, shortly after we brought him home. He’s now much larger (bigger than our 5-year-old adult female cat), but still utterly kittenish at 5 months of age. He carries his springs around, and ‘fetches’… Continue reading Adventures with Ashbutt – and toilets
