A Familiar Look
I had to laugh when I saw a young Trixie watching me with her head sticking up out of the cat bed. Scout at times would watch me like this, all the more amusing since she insisted on having her bed right beside me, her face inches away.
Boo Hangs Out
This was Scout’s beloved cat bed. It’s probably best she didn’t live to see it used in such a disgraceful fashion.
The Angel & The Stained Glass
I loved Boo’s angelic look as he watched birds outside our picture window, with stained glass windows hanging behind him. I believe the windows may be homemade, they were there when we bought the house, I like the flair they add to the room.
Beat the Heat (and Smoke)
An unusually hot and dry summer in the Pacific Northwest has led to many troublesome wildfires, and the winds shifted this weekend bringing smoke from fires far to the east into Portland. We kept the windows closed to minimize the smoke coming into the house, and spent the entire weekend in our bedroom with the portable air conditioner keeping things nice and cool.
I took a quick picture of Ellie in her dog bed and Boo behind her in the cat bed, Sam was with my wife on the bed and Trixie I think was playing elsewhere in the house. We keep the bedroom door mostly closed to keep the cool air in, but open enough that the cats can come and go as they please. When Ellie walks in she swings the door wide open with a dramatic swoop of her head. It makes me laugh every time, our sweet-natured goofball making such a grand entrance.
Little Lover
Trixie is probably a little over a year old now and weighs in at about 7 pounds. She’ll fill out a bit more with time but the vet’s prediction when we adopted her is proving itself true, she’s going to be a pretty small cat. She’s our first tortoiseshell, some claim that torties have a lot of attitude but so far our little lover has been sweet and affectionate and particularly enjoys rubbing noses. Fair warning, biting them too.
Trixie Masters the Cat Bed
She’s a quick learner.
Trixie’s First Attempt at Using the Cat Bed
Don’t worry Trixie, Boo didn’t exactly get it right his first time either.
Sam & Boo Demonstrate the Proper Use of a Cat Bed
In two years Sam has gone from being the youngest of three cats to the oldest of two. He was happiest when he had Scout looking out for him and it took him over a year to adjust to her death. I don’t expect Emma’s death to hit him as hard but they were friends and grew up together and it is having an impact. We’ve found him snuggling with Boo in the cat bed several times, which he hasn’t done before.
Dog in a Cat Bed
Ellie sometimes sleeps in one of our cat beds, which is large enough for two cats but not nearly large enough for a black lab. I don’t mind that she takes their bed, as they are frequently sleeping in her beds, but worry she thinks we’re incompetent dog bed buyers, only she’s too polite to say anything.
