The Kitty Couch

On our way home from Taco Bell the other night we turned up a funny little side street and saw this ridiculously abandoned couch, just sitting there on the side of the road. So tacky–right?

Then, on closer inspection–we saw three little creatures that were perfectly thrilled with the arrangement. One of the kitties ducked between the cushions when we stopped to grab the photo, but as you can see, the other two weren’t ruffled in the least. Made me wonder if there were any others lurking in the stuffing. Haha.

They looked well fed and clean like they were someone’s pets…just, you know, having a night out…on a tacky little couch…on the side of the road…

just down from Taco Bell.

Perhaps they’ve ordered take out.

 

A Dark Knight Kitty

My son-in-law Josh is getting pretty dang good with his laser printer. So good in fact, that he couldn’t resist the urge to make a costume for Mr. Hobbes.

Oh, yeeeeah. He was, as you can see, thrilled. 

Buck up kitty. We must make sacrifices for the sake of Halloween…

ahhhhhh…

spirit. Yeah, that’s it. Spirit.

Halloween is almost here, and YOU my fine, furry friend–are going as…

the Bat Cat.

Fear him.

Explorer Dali

On Dali’s first real adventure in the backyard–she got very brave and climbed the tree. Then she jumped from the tree to the old, creepy shed roof….

the slippery, old, creepy shed roof.

Luckily, there was a pile of fluffy leaves below. She climbed right back up and did it again. Crazy girl.

All These Kitties

 

Yeah, there are a lot of kitties in this place. Three to be exact.

Hmmmm…does that make me a crazy cat lady? Who can say? But honestly, how could we do without any one of them?

We have beautiful, shy, skittish Lyla…

bossy, no nonsense, alpha man Hobbes…

and happy, silly, affectionate little Dali.

Sometimes they get along beautifully,

…as if they were the best of friends.

Other times, they would rather have their own space…

to stretch…

to sleep…

and to play.

All that said, they have each nudged a space in our hearts we couldn’t possibly do without them.

and the feeling seems mutual.

 

 

Outside Looking In

Hobbes can’t figure out why the kid is INSIDE and he…is not.

Haha. I don’t feel too bad because we have a cat door that he is welcome to use at ANY time.

Silly rabbit.
