We don't have snow much here, but back on March 1st we had an inch or so. Kitty hates the snow. It was a great day. Kitty wouldn't even walk out on the roof like usual, but just sat next to the house, looking out, wishing it would go away.

Before Kitty came to live inside with us she would come up on the roof here and look in at us. She still comes and goes this way. It's a little spooky when she asks in at night... there's just a little "scraaatch, scraaaaatch" and barely perceptible green eyes.

Begging at the Table

C'mon - throw me a bone... something... anything...
I check this spot regularly for scraps of food when no one is looking. Sometimes there are veges on the table too! They keep them in a "vase" and I have to stand on my hind legs to eat them, but it's so worth it. One time I made the mistake of carrying a rosebud back to my chair - later I heard, "so that's where they've been going" - and then the vase was even higher. I can pretty much always get to it though. I love roses.

The Monster Under the Bed

There is a monster under the bed at our house. Often, you will hear it scratching, grunting, or chewing. If you hold a piece of hay under the bed, it will get yanked from your fingers - a very convenient way to clean! Be careful not to stick your toes too far under the bed.

That monster would be me. When I first took up residence in this burrough I quickly found that is where we sleep. It's nice and dark under here and I can sleep here most of the day too. I'm crepuscular, which means I sleep at night and day and come out at dawn and dusk (which works out well because that's when my staff is around too!). Today I set up the tripod so you could see me coming out of my sleeping spot. I keep the bottom of my travel carrier here with litter and hay in it so that I remember to eat lots of hay all of the time. I like it clean and fresh every day. My staff say that it's very relaxing to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of me chewing hay. And it completely masks the sounds of rats in the attic!

All of the wires around here are covered with paper towel tubes. I don't like to chew paper towel tubes (even though I can quite easily) so I leave them alone... unless I want attention... they make a loud, hollow sound when I chew them and I will immediately get attention. Then I wag my tail and run!
I received a comment that I should not use my tripod so much and take pictures of the other critters that I live with. Fortunately, the laundry basket was at the foot of the bed so I hopped up and got a picture of Kitty. She usually sleeps on top of the bed - usually on top of Dad. She is very curious about my camera, but way too stupid to understand it.

This is my most relaxed pose.

This is my granny.
