About cats, ours primarily . . .

Such a silly kitty. She had just finished attacking her sister, she had dived into the hole and crouched there waiting for Teagan to come. Teagan ran up and swatted and Nessa popped her head out for the attack. They really love their Ripple Rug. I thought I would share for today’s Friday Photo.
So which do you prefer “dived” or “dove”? (I went back and forth!)

One day I looked up and saw this. It took me a second to realize she was staring at the moving second hand. She sometimes watches TV and often stares at my iPad or phone. Funny Girl.
Nessa staring at the clock is today’s Friday Photo.
How are you? Feel like that clock is moving slow lately? Or maybe it is moving too fast?

We usually buy gifts for our cats for Christmas. But our cats have so many toys that I didn’t think they needed more stuff last Christmas. They end up with boxes. Sometimes our intent is to let them have the box, but sometimes it is sitting in the room waiting to be taken out to recycle and one of the cats decides they like it, so of course it becomes their box. They also like paper and bags. So packing paper and paper bags that are destined to be put in recycle or put away for use at another time end up being a cat possession. So yes, it is probably unnecessary for me to say we look like we have trash all over our house because basically we do. But is it trash that our cats play with, sit on, sit under, etc. I am sure you understand – those of you with cats. Well, as I said I wasn’t going to buy anything for them for Christmas but I kept seeing the Ripple Rug. I saw it on ads, I saw it on Tweets, and I saw it on posts, so at the last minute I ordered one. I didn’t think it would arrive on time but who cares, they are cats. They don’t know WHEN it is they are receiving a gift.
Well, as you may know or even experience yourself, there is a lot of extra stuff in the house at Christmas time. There is a tree, there are gifts, and again all the boxes and paper that end up hanging out for days – in addition to the boxes and paper that have actually become permanent, so I didn’t give them their rug at Christmastime. In fact I actually waited until Quarantinetime. I thought that since we were all “locked” in the house and the cats were stuck with us they might want something new to distract them, so I took out the Ripple Rug. They love it.
It is quite entertaining.
When we first took it out of the 
package it was very stiff and remained “tented” very well. But now after two months of cats sitting on it and lying on it, it does not “tent” as well. When I opened the package I read the instructions that came with it and they say how to remedy that, but I have not yet bothered because we are still playing fine with it.
Nessa, the tortie, will lie in it for hours. I think that she plans on attacking someone when they walk by but then she ends up falling asleep, but I could be wrong. She just LOVES to lie in it. She also loves to have the wand from their flyers poke out through the holes and edges. That is her latest favorite game.
Teagan just really loves to lie on it.
Nessa and Teagan will both play with each other using the Ripple Rug as a place to hide and smack at the other one.
It is quite large so it takes up a large portion of real estate in the living room, but whatever. It keeps them entertained. And me too to be honest!
Have you heard of the Ripple Rug. How do your cats like to play?

If you are here looking at my Friday Photo, thank you. I mean, I always am grateful if you are looking at my blog, but I feel especially thankful now because many of you might be keeping an eye on more important stuff. So if you popped over here to get a little relief, thanks.
If you have an additional moment, would you leave a comment and say hello? I could use the outside communication.
It is really bizarre this isolation situation.
This was yesterday. The clouds were so pretty I was thinking about taking a picture and then, Nessa decided to look out. I liked her silhouette.
Hugs to you. Stay healthy.

This was so fascinating – to me – because she sat like that – unmoving for at least 5 minutes. She was as still as a statue. And I couldn’t see what she was looking at. Although, if you know a cat you may have experienced the phenomenon where THEY see SOMETHING, but you don’t.
I love their (cats’) concentration and the way they can sit so still. Of course, I have a whole series of these, I just kept taking them as she sat stock-still.
Teagan is my Friday Photo today.

While looking through some photos I found this from last year and wanted to post it. I really have so many pictures that I want to post, especially pictures of the cats, that is why I get annoyed when I miss a Friday like I did last Friday. Here is Teagan with here bright eyes for today’s Friday Photo.

Here is a close up of Nessa. While Teagan is a little more tolerate of photos being taken of her than she used to, Nessa doesn’t care at all. Unless she is playing. Once she notices the camera all play stops!

I ordered something and it came in this box. For a long while we were saving every box we received to use to pack up stuff, but after a while we felt we had enough so we have been recycling our boxes. But this box is of great quality so my husband decided we should keep it and use it for stuff. Well, it sat in the house long enough that one cat decided it was hers. Then I turned it on its side and now BOTH cats have claimed it. I move it around so it gets premium sunlight.
TWO cats and a box is this Friday’s Friday Photo

I tweeted a picture of her in the box earlier this week, but this one is of her sitting up and looking. Such a beautiful girl. That is why we named her Teagan. And, yes, I say that all the time.
Friday Photo of our black cat!
