Bath time for Livia.
“What you WANT, lady? Trying to take a bath, here!”
She loves that string* more than any other toy.
*I’m calling it a string, it’s actually a cord, like from a pair of sweatpants or a sweatshirt.
“Is nap time, lady?”
(Every afternoon, for about an hour, I go upstairs, lay on Fred’s bed, and read while surrounded by a varying number of napping cats. Lately it’s usually Dennis and Tricki, sometimes Livia. Thomas comes up for some petting, and then settles down at the end of the bed.)
“No, seriously. I can nap now?”
He is such a sweet little snuggler.
Tricki likes to flop down over my leg and make my foot fall asleep.
I’m off in a little while to take Thomas to Petsmart. I’ll have a few more pictures of him later this week, I’m sure.

A few weeks ago, the piece of metal that was wrapped around the tree in the back yard (to stop the cats from climbing up the tree) fell off. Fred’s been meaning to put another piece up there, but hasn’t gotten around to it yet (our family motto should be “I’ll get around to it. Some day. Or not.”), but it hasn’t been an issue. No one’s been climbing up the tree.
Until one day last week…
See her?
How about now? That’s Sheriff Mama, sitting on the lowest branch. I guess she gets a better view of her territory from up there!
I went out and talked to her, but she just sat up there and squeaked at me. I went up to Fred’s office to point her out to him.
I thought we were going to have to get out the ladder and I’d have to climb up there to get her, but as I pointed her out to Fred, she started shimmying down the tree.
And she shimmied all the way down, arriving on the ground safe and sound.
“I’m no dummy, lady! I know how to get down out of a tree! I’m Sheriff Mama!”
(Still haven’t put another piece of metal up yet. We’ll get around to it, hopefully soon!)
