Who's got cats? Post your puss!

What she lacks in size she more than makes up in attitude!

There was a second turkey vulture to the right (didn't catch it in the photo), she was trying to maneuver into position to fight them both at the same time. lol. She made them really nervous and they took off!



Some flying squirrels up in this tree...they wouldn't come down so she went to them.



Call me pip-squeak again and I'll rip your toenail off!

 

It looks like his whole face opened up!

You have some good looking black cats there.

 

The gray cat is a ferrel I feed, his name Hank. The Yellow one is mine, Hines. Looks like a bobcat when he walks.

 

There's something about a laundry basket that Buddy enjoys . . .

 

Our Onyx can't help the urge to lay on the laundry - even when it's still in the dryer and I'm trying to fold it.

 

For some reason the kids enjoy helping with the laundry. Here they are camping out atop some warm, fresh towels just out of the dryer.

In the olden days my compadre's wife would run the dryer and leave the door open. Not all the clothes were completely dry so she'd close the door and restart the machine.
Clunk, clunk, clunk ~ the dryer was making a lot of noise. Come to find out their Calico kitty, Missy Ann, had hopped up into the dryer and gone for a ride !
Just be careful out there ~ it could happen to anyone !

 

Our dryer door is normally shut. Bear is the one I worry about because he likes to sleep in the clothes washer when it's empty. I can just visualize my Mother-in-Law giving the little dude a wash without knowing it.

 

Yep…..it has. Shot out of there like her tail was on fire when I opened the door

 

Brought this terror home today to add some company for Ginger. 4 and 6 year olds named him “Stoney” (because his color reminds them of rocks, duh)

 

So stinkin' cute!

 

That bottom pic! If you know you know

 

This little girl was dumped by our house, she's been hanging around for a couple of weeks. Looks like we have another kitty!

 

Here's Buddy Boy taking in a Big League Ball Game. Wake me when it's over, would 'ya ?

 

Our old man Oscar “The Sker” - chillin’ in the front yard


And Tamale “Tamal Tamew” lounging in the house


I haven’t managed to catch the other two on camera today…

 

Dali last night being a ham

 

Found our youngest, Zookie Roo “Chonk” in one of her hiding places in momma’s sewing area.


She’s our shy one…but fiesty

 

I love her markings!

 

She was named after a famous painter……..
she’s the biggest lover, and the most shy cat I’ve ever had, such a strange combo. It’s always on her time, if you initiate she will usually flee

 

Jack Jack “Badoo” “The Monkey” “Chicken Noodle” (yeah, he’s got a lot of nicknames)
My daughter’s COVID cat
He’s pretty damn chill, he loves to come “help” whatever you’re working on, and likes to snuggle with our lab, Ally.

 

My son and Wife are cat people. My dog passed and I rescued "Kitty" a few months ago. She loves to take trips and uses a leash.

 

Those eyes are intense !

 

She’s pure adorable.
Never thought I’d be a cat person…that was 25 years ago.
Don’t know what I’d do without one now.

 

Interesting liner for the firepit. Who knocked that out for ya ?

 

The little ones will grab your heart! That face! So cute!

 

I grew up with dogs. I've always had a dog. Then along comes my wife who is highly allergic to dogs. She has always had cats. She convinced me to adopt this little girl that refused to leave our doorstep. She is a perfect 1st cat! The wife named her Mocha.



Roughly 10 months after adopting Mocha our little Onyx wiggled her way into our hearts and home.



I am now a full fledged cat guy and proud of it.

 

Our fabrication shop (I work for a mechanical/piping contractor) cut it out on our Vernon 5-axis plasma pipe cutter. It’s 36” Schedule 40S stainless, and the scallop pattern gives you a handy place to rest your marshmallow stick without it rolling off into the dirt.
There are four oval slots near the bottom of it that are 2” by 4” that allow for intake air to come in through the gaps in the pavers.

If I was to do it over, I’d have gone with 24” or 30” instead of 36” (it makes for a pretty big fire), but this was a remnant they had from a job so that’s what I got.

On the other end of my property, I have a piece of 66” steel pipe that we use for burning limbs and debris. It keeps all the embers and ash contained inside and if I hook up a leaf blower to a piece of 3” dryer duct stuck through the side, I can get a flame vortex going about 20 feet high (and can burn down a massive pile in a matter of a couple hours).
