Sneaky (cat!)

PB090015.jpg




This may be the cutest photo I have made of my cat.

Yesterday I took sheets off my bed to wash them. Later, I got tired and took a nap and Sneaky came in and cuddled up to me and slept with me, purring loudly. Thankfully, he didn't wake up with me; and I was able to get a photo of him still wrapped in the blanket.

Sneaky has been sleeping with me a lot lately. He'd been exiled from my bedroom for a while because last year he kept attacking my feet and kneading me with his claws at night, but he's been better behaved the last few months.

Sneaky has been more cuddly at night lately. He used to come in and walk all over me, attack my feet and arms, knead me with sharp claws, and just generally be a jerk so I couldn't sleep because that's what cats do. Now he's coming in and finding a spot and curling up with me and sleeping.

I have been binge watching cat feeding videos on YouTube lately. It’s very calming. I don’t know if the yummy sounds combined with the crunching has a pseudo-ASMR affect.

That's a lot of cats! Offering a plate of raw fish brings them in! Sneaky would like that, except the part where he has to share. He doesn't do sharing.

…Actually, I have about 2500 books in total. Sneaky seems most interested in sleeping on them.

That’s how cats read - by osmosis. None of that word-by-word page-by-page hooman stuff.

My library is maybe half that size - maybe. One of my favorite historical books is The Boer War by Thomas Pakenham - a totally engrossing book (it’s the top one in the photo, the bottom one is a supplement with more photos).

I'll have to get a copy of that book. The Boer War isn't something I have studied much. South Africa's history is interesting but for some reason I haven't gotten around to reading about it. Most of my history books are about Russia, the Balkans, Ancient Rome, and the Middle East. Its nice that they published a photo supplement. Most history books are devoid of illustrations, or have just a few pages of photos or artwork depicting the people, places. and events in the book. That is disappointing, because seeing the people/places/things/events helps make the text more comprehendable.

Had a run in with a Great Pyrenees the other day. I was out taking photos in the back country, and as I passed a barn where the owner was working his huge white dog came walking out into the road with that look of "What you doing here?". Thankfully it wasn't quite in the middle of the road, so I was able to slowly glide past it without incident. It just stood there giving me that look the whole time. That farmer never has to worry about being alone and having someone or some critter sneaking up on him.

Pyrs are very watchful, but are not aggressive unless you try to hurt them, their people, or the sheep they were bred to guard. They do what the one you met did: come out and look you over, making sure you know the dog knows you're there.

Yeah, well I kept the windows rolled up just in case it decided to go all Cujo on me.

Sneaky was growing concerned about the near-famine conditions in our home. We were down to just 5 cans of cat food, so I went shopping last night and bought 40 cans (about a two day supply, in Sneaky's opinion!).

As soon as I put one of the bags on the counter, he jumped up there and stared at me with his "SLAVE! Feed me, NOW!" look. He had eaten steak for dinner an hour earlier; I told him he needed to wait a while for more food.

Lucky cat! (We call em $hit rats up here) ...

We have a few strays we flea treat year round but only feed/shelter in the winter.
A few have found permanent homes others prefer their feral lifestyle.

Lifespan of feral cat: 2- 5 yrs; Lifespan of indoor cat: 15-25 yrs

Oh yes, of course, feral cats just LOVE to sicken, freeze and starve to death.
