Testing The New Cat Tree

It was time to replace the old (10-year-old) cat tree. In spite of trying to save it, the tree has really bit the dust.  So it was time to go cat tree shopping and we were lucky enough to hit a sale!

Finally the new furniture is in the living room. It’s not by the window yet. I still have to take the old one out but there’s no holding back the curious cat…Rocky , of course.

Looks like it meets with his approval!

Spring Exuberance

While we were enjoying our soft serve and the flowers at Ward’s Berry Farm we decided to check out the 4H buildings. Ward’s supports the 4H Clubs of America by allowing them to have some of their livestock there. We’ve seen the little lambs in the past and the miniature horses but today the goats stole the show.

The first one we saw was the old guy. 🙂 I don’t know his real name but I called him Billy Goat Gruff.

Give him a good scratch and he just about falls asleep. Can’t you just hear the contented sigh?

Next to him was another pen where a Mama goat was resting. We didn’t spot the kids until we went around to the back of the shed. That’s when we got the springtime show!

Man, those little guys were fast and like kids everywhere, into everything! 🙂

Smokey’s Turn

After my photo shoot with the Tiny Terror named Copper, I retrieved my basket and took it home. I thought it would be fun to see if my cats would show an interest. I doubted they would be able to fit in like that little kitten did.

To my surprise it was Smokey that took an interest.

Rocky sniffed it and walked away. Smokey managed to squeeze himself in but he wasn’t able to present  the wide-eyed innocence of the tiny kitten.
