Snow! ??????
Dec 31, 2021 2:22 pm
Quiet New Year's Eve here.... Fortunately, we live south of the area that had the wildfire yesterday where over 600 houses and many beloved pets were lost. The drought hasbeen terrible. We are expecting snow today that should help a little, but it is a day too late for all those who lost their homes. ????

The brave kitten came to the back yard this morning! Quite the adventure! Ziggy was surprised to see him on the fence and loudly snorted at him. The kitten was like "???". I brought her inside and he followed. After a while, everyone calmed down and we spent some time quietly observing each other through the glass.

Ziggy is in the cabinet after a hard night. One of the kittens was at the door shivering, so he stayed with us from 2:30-7:30 am last night. (Temperature was 12 deg F / -11.1 C ) Overall, they did well (they were separated to keep the peace while I stayed in the guest bedroom next to where he was).

The brave kitten came by this morning. (Swipe to see him) He is not Ziggy's favorite, but she still wants to be friends, at least enough to say, "Tell your brother to come by." The shy kitten I thought was a sister is actually a brother, and he is Ziggy's favorite. Quiet and mysterious and usually comes by between 11 pm and midnight. He also comes by closer to 2 am, but she has been advised that she has a curfew and can't meet her boyfriend at that hour. ??

Guard the yard. This morning it is 12 deg (-11.1 C). Ziggy is heading out to her rounds for a second time.
Dec 18, 2021 8:11 am
Today, Ziggy thought the best way to interact with her friend was to show him that she's so tall she can put her paws and face up by the door knob for the door separating them. The gesture was not well received....not that he left or said anything, well his face says it. ?? Head scritches all around seemed to clear the air. The kittens now let me come visit on the front step. One even let me pick him up.....but I have to come alone. They still find Ziggy pretty intimidating. I don't think she realizes how much bigger she is.

While Black Friday historically denotes the point in the year when the stores turn a profit (books go from red to black), for Ziggy, it meant the day she finally spent time face to face with one of the kittens (they are kittens to me, even though they are a year old now). The meeting was through the glass of our front door, and Ziggy gave the kitten the wheezing of a lifetime. She didn't hiss, she didn't growl, but she loafed by the door and wheezed loudly for the whole time. I guess that means it went ok?

She just couldn't watch any longer, and ran outside to chase the rabbit.
Oct 13, 2021 7:38 am
Ziggy is fed up with the magpies and all their squawking, so she is observing the rabbit and magpies from the kitchen table.

Finally, summer has left us and Ziggy gets to toast by the fire. First on the agenda is a toasty head.

While Instagram and Facebook were down, Ziggy got some quality sunbeaming done.
Oct 04, 2021 6:39 pm
Do you have a case of the Mondays? I hear catnip on your head might help.
Oct 04, 2021 6:42 am
Good morning! ???????
She was so cute with the squirrel this morning. He was eating, and Ziggy was loafed, staring at him intently. Then, the loaf moved closer. And a little closer. And the she was only about one foot away. The squirrel paused, sat up straight, and looked at her as if to say, "ahem. A little personal space?" Ziggy got up, and moved further back. Then, she resumed loaf position.

Sep 11, 2021 8:02 pm
Pause... Sigh ... Remember. Growing up on Long Island, the twin towers were my favorite part of the New York City skyline. (Many people don't realize they also had our comms on top, and I have always had a zeal for infrastructure, so to me those antennas were their most notable feature) I don't have any pictures of that, so you are getting one if my dad's favorite pictures instead. I know many of you have heard my September 11 story of working on a proposal in my concrete bunker in Los Angeles with no idea what was happening outside. But the more important thing I remember about that day is it was a day where moments mattered. All the last phone calls, the wishes for last phone calls, and all the stories of people who somehow barely missed being in the wrong place at the wrong time. On this 20th anniversary, if you do nothing else, please hold it in your heart how moments matter. ??????

Sometimes, you just have to go back to bed. Early this morning, Ziggy's outside time was cut short by a new fluffy tortie cat who jumped on the fence. There was a lot of hissing on both sides. This afternoon, Ziggy tried outside time again. Things were going well with the squirrel and a dove, but a noisy truck came to our street. There were a lot of suspicious and scary noises.... So, she went back to bed. ??

I spent about an hour with the brave kitten last night. He stopped by at 12:50 am. So sweet - I was sitting on the front step and he was all over me and purring. He also met Ziggy through the glass of the front door. That went better than expected. She was very sweet about it. She would come nose up against the glass, he would get up to the glass, take 2 steps back and hiss at her. Then, she would sit back away from the glass, letting him come back to look in. After a little bit, she would come back to the glass. And repeat. Really good for a first meeting of cats. ??

Last part of the Sunday adventure. A lovely picture of Ziggy by the snap dragons...right before she decided she wanted to beat up a small dog (male poodle, approximately 30 pounds). I intercepted her, and among a chorus of growls, brought her back inside. No dogs were harmed in this adventure. (Yes, Ziggy is a big cat)
Aug 29, 2021 8:10 am
Sunday adventure, part 4: This spit smells like kittens and rabbits. So sniffy. Ziggy did get to see one of the kittens through the door last night. She stared but didn't say anything. The kitten flopped on the step with his back to her. It was an odd meeting, but relatively peaceful. I did find the owners of the kittens. It was a mixed meeting - the owners are not terribly enthused about the pair because they are not affectionate and offered they could come inside to play with Ziggy.

Aug 20, 2021 8:25 am
I am getting the "Worst Cat Person Ever" award this morning. Ziggy is 8 hours into a 12 hour fast for blood work to check her pancreas. What I have learned is that food allergies in cats can cause chronic GI inflammation that can lead to pancreatitis. I told her she will get a big lunch when we get home, but right now.... I know fasting is hard. ??

Aug 18, 2021 8:56 am
Ziggy's nutrition appointment went well. The vet at the CSU Hospital also thinks she has a food allergy - not just the ear infections but her food aversion behaviors. She said those usually develop when food upsets the GI system because animals become wary of the discomfort it causes. We are going to try some prescription high protein allergen free food but keep an eye on her kidneys and make adjustments as needed. *fingers crossed*

I have wonderful news! I took a wander this morning to expand my search area. I was able to locate the old cat's owner a couple of blocks away. The cat's name is Ernie. He is 15 and has cancer as well as thyroid issues. He is on thyroid medication as well as steroids for his cancer. While he goes to his home 4 times a day, he refuses to stay indoors. His family had no idea he was wandering so far, especially in his condition. But he did help find the 2 stray black kittens. I was also able to confirm they are stray and have been in the yard of the house across the street for a month. So, still working on how to get them inside. Here is Ernie with the brave kitten at 6 am this morning. Not sure how to catch the brave kitten and his very skittish sibling. To be continued
Aug 14, 2021 11:13 am
A Caturday pout in the Crinkle Paper Empire. Ziggy had an idea while we were outside.... She wanted to head to a neighbor's front door and was very hissy about being brought back to our house. I told her it's not Halloween and being a stray cat who has to beg for food at people's houses is not some sort of "cool cat club". Nonetheless, it was all judged to be very unfair.....

Well, shoot. I now have a second cat on the front step. That was inevitable. It was hungry, and literally sat for 7 minutes on camera eating all the food at 2:55 am. I was up shortly after that and was trying to figure out if the video was off or that was a second cat when the stray cat came by at 3:20 am. Sorry, little buddy.
Aug 12, 2021 5:48 am
Happy Whisker Wednesday! Ziggy is still emotionally recovering from yesterday's vet visit, but there is good news! Ziggy's blood work came back - everything normal today including kidneys. A little bit of elevated fat in the blood which she said is normal for bigger kitties and not fasting. So, we will continue to try to figure out her food allergy.

Sleepy day here for Ziggy. She is too large, too strong, and too aggressive to go to the vet without some artificial calming. Prepping to have her ear infection recheck and some blood work done for her nutritionist appointment.
Aug 10, 2021 9:44 am
After our interactions at 3:15 am, I was sure I had messed it all up and scared the cat off. But as Ziggy and I were having a little bit to eat at 5:30 am, someone else was coming around for breakfast. ?? That included nonchalantly checking out the cat carrier I had left on the front step. Pretty confident I can get it in the trap now. The fluffy towel with the catnip is a huge draw.
Aug 10, 2021 8:57 am
Stray cat project, part 2. We decided to set out the things we plan to lure it into the trap with. The fox did not come by tonight. Fancy Feast and catnip were of interest at 3:15 am, so we should be in business. I was up when the cat came by. After it settled in the blanket, we made eye contact through the window. It didn't run, definitely domesticated. It is very petite and old. I was able to sit about 6 feet away from it in the neighbors' driveway and have a conversation. Such sad meows. ?? This is the second time I have interacted with it and it has run back towards a particular neighbors' house, so I will ask them about it tomorrow.

About 10 pm,, a fox came to eat the food. After seeing the fox, I was surprised to wake up to video of the cat at 1:36 am. I just missed him. My heart aches for the way he just sat there. Will get the trap tomorrow, but this is going to take monitoring to keep the cat and fox separate. ??????

To catch a stray cat... A few days ago, a stray cat appeared at our front door. He ran away as soon as I opened it, and as he did so, I could see he was so thin that his hip bones were showing. So, I have been trying to lure him back. Something has been eating the food I put out. To verify I am not going to borrow a trap from the shelter I work with just to catch a skunk, my brother gave me his ring camera. All set up and awaiting news from the front step.

When it's hot and smoky outside, sitting by the fan can count as fun, too. Hoping today's air quality is better.
Aug 08, 2021 7:05 am
Light's on, moths are out!
I promised Ziggy some outdoor hunting time this evening, since I have not been as fun this week with all the medical procedure recovery stuff. She is really enjoying having the light on.
Aug 07, 2021 6:54 pm
Just being cute ??
Aug 07, 2021 11:44 am
Lot of smoke in the air, so everything looks like it has an orange filter. Contrary to what you may assume, this pose is actually grasshopper hunting. She caught another one by quietly reaching over the side of the patio.Yes, it helps that there are a *lot* of grasshoppers around right now.
Aug 07, 2021 8:02 am
Aww, she came back. Still a fierce grasshopper hunter, though....
Aug 06, 2021 5:53 pm
Apparently no, that was not an invitation to go sit next to Ziggy. ?? She must be thinking, "Geez, how am I supposed to look like a fierce grasshopper hunter if you are going to sit next to me like that?" And so, she moved.
Aug 06, 2021 5:50 pm
Best of both worlds? Happy Friday!

Tonight's adventure! ... Paper record, take 2... I inherited this record which was recorded by my Grandpa Bill when he was on active duty. The first try was on a borrowed record player that was very noisy, such that the only word I could make out was "Apologies". New record player hooked up to my hubby's computer. Thus far, we have figured out that it is a 60 rpm record. Mike is trying to digitally remove the level of noise, but we do hear Bill talking! ??????

Jul 15, 2021 12:07 pm
No time for an afternoon nap today! The weather has been cooler, so there is so much activity in the back yard! Squirrels, birds, and she even got to chase the rabbit!
Jul 15, 2021 11:32 am
The worst thing about cleaning day is needing to redo the Crinkle Paper Empire. Ziggy spent a long time today making a nappable best and then of course trying it from multiple angles.

Today was a lovely day for lunch with my hubby. Based on our experience in Riverside, California.... we're pretty sure In-n-Out is always supposed to be eaten outside when it's nearly 100 degrees out. ?? Literally, it was a dry heat and we were quite comfortable in the shade.
Jul 08, 2021 8:23 pm
Cat loaf says there is no need to be in the office at this time of night.... mostly because it is time for the last installment of dinner. Her vet recommended I split her meals into smaller installments to help her with there being fewer calories. The 10 pm mini meal has become a fave ..

Sure, it was nice to have yesterday off, but now it's a Monday on a Tuesday. Ziggy sat outside for about 15 minutes, but the construction noises from the elementary school near us were too much.

For those who have been following the patio saga - good news!
I am almost at the end of a journey that started in April 2020. I feel as worn out as my boots and gloves, but as my hubby would say, "happiness dwells within me" ?? I need about 9 more flagstone blocks to finish the walkway, but they are out of stock again. ??
I have now moved all 134 flagstone that were delivered out of the street. The stones are all placed in the patio area. The little patio for the hammock is also complete. I brought the last empty pallet back to Pioneer and picked up another 300 pounds of the patio base (sand/gravel mixture called "breeze"). It has been double tarped during this afternoon's rain storm with the hope of wrapping up the patio tomorrow. My little Ziggle helped with the "almost done" victory party photo shoot. ?? Pictures include the storm clouds as seen from Pioneer Sand in Golden. I was just barely able to get the truck loaded before the rain moved in. ??

Ziggy is making new plans for the morning. Indoor plans. We went outside, and she decided to walk to the gate to do a rabbit check. She wasn't the only one doing a rabbit check. When she was about 10 feet from the gate, the hawk landed on it. She sat down and looked at him. He looked at her. I said, "Oh!" He looked at me and flew off. Ziggy walked to the gate and looked under it. I said, "Honey, there's no rabbits out here if the hawk is around." She walked to the back door and we came back inside.

Jun 04, 2021 8:09 am
Ziggy demonstrated for me that rolling on the patio ends in the sand. Not enough patio yet....
Jun 03, 2021 3:16 pm
When I did the patio chair test, I sat on it. But it's 80 deg F today, so Ziggy did a different version of the chair test.

Ziggy says the new weed block is better than the mud....still not a rollable patio.

Long week....
May 21, 2021 2:56 pm
Ziggy's squirrel friend is back! We hadn't seen him in 3 days, and had reason to believe the squirrel and rabbit population had attracted large predators this week, so we were worried. But he is doing fine!

Cautiously back outside. Ziggy says the patio area still smells like a creature, but as long as I am sitting nearby, she is willing to believe it's not here right now. Or believe enough to sit in a protected spot near the wheelbarrow.
May 20, 2021 12:40 pm
A grumpy Ziggy on the balcony. My hubby said she was convinced there was something in the back yard last night. This morning, she spent a bit of time sniffing around the door and hissing. Now, she is sitting upstairs. I wonder what it was?

Report from the back yard - wet, cold, no squirrels, no rabbits, no birds. Ending guard duty early.
May 11, 2021 7:05 am
Ziggy says, "As you may have guessed, I do not plan to report for work today. "

We hosted the family mother's day party, so Ziggy spent most of Sunday in the towel cabinet.

Ziggy is cautious about being back outside, even though she asked to be back outside. We had a brief hail storm this afternoon, for which she hid in the basement.

Strategy shift - always be ready and willing to adapt your strategy to changing conditions. The squirrel had figured out the needed timing to get to the fence when Ziggy sits to the right side of the tree. So, today, the older wiser birthday girl sat between the tree and the fence. The squirrel sat there looking at her for about two hours. She got bored and went inside.
Apr 26, 2021 12:14 pm
Birthday girl alert! Happy 13th birthday to Ziggy!

I think I am getting blamed for the cold weather. I told Ziggy we can do some quick outside time, but 48 deg F (8.9 C) is too cold for me to sit and work outside. Especially since I am a little under the weather after getting my Covid vaccination yesterday.
Apr 13, 2021 9:25 am
Lazy hunting....it was worth a try
Apr 12, 2021 11:52 am

Walked into the living room, and I couldn't help but wonder if these bunnies suffered Ziggy's wrath this morning after the incident with the real rabbit. (There had been a commotion at the cat condo after we came back inside.) I put them back in their proper places.
Apr 07, 2021 1:26 pm
I thought we were doing Whisker Wednesday, but I am thinking Ziggy opted for Won't Look Wednesday...
Apr 07, 2021 12:10 pm
Ziggy didn't see the bunny. Eventually, she walked over to the tree to yell at the squirrel and the poor bunny couldn't take it anymore and ran for the gate. At that point, she did give chase, but was far behind. So, she plopped down and watched the bunny go under the gate.

Sneaky rabbit! Ziggy was very excited when she realized the rabbit was under the shed. She went back and forth, and then decided to check behind the shed. When she went behind the shed, the rabbit came out the other side! I said hello - swipe to see rabbit. Then, the rabbit decided to go back towards the shed. It paused to look at Ziggy, who was just coming out from behind the shed. Then, the rabbit went under the fence. So close! Ziggy was disappointed.

Ziggy has been caught in a sunbeam all afternoon ????
Mar 19, 2021 2:30 pm
Ziggy usually opts for oversized chairs because she's too tall for a regular chair, but today she decided to try.

Monitoring lunch preparations
Mar 19, 2021 10:14 am
My husband took Ziggy outside while I was working. Here's a tail print from her snow adventure. ??
Mar 19, 2021 10:13 am
After we came inside, it was time for laser dot! Ziggy ran to her dot time starting spot. Not sure how she became convinced of this, but it is very important that laser dot chases start from this spot. ??
Mar 19, 2021 6:53 am
Ziggy says the side yard has too much snow for exploring, but it is good to see it is currently rabbit-free.

A cat and her box ????
Mar 18, 2021 12:53 pm
Good morning! Hope you also found a sunbeam to start your day!
Mar 18, 2021 7:01 am
Ahhh, don't tell Ziggy. ????
Mar 18, 2021 5:50 am
Ziggy wants Spring back. I told her to wait one more day for paths to her favorite places to melt, but she wanted to try..... Shaky foot ??
Mar 17, 2021 10:07 am
Ignoring everyone after being left out of lunchtime. Diets are terrible... ??
Mar 17, 2021 9:32 am
It's snowing again...
Mar 16, 2021 3:44 pm
Good morning from the Crinkle Paper Empire!
Mar 16, 2021 6:05 am
Peaceful evening.
Mar 15, 2021 5:23 pm
Serious sunbeaming the day after the snowstorm. Denver is in a high plains desert to the east of the Rocky Mountains - water doesn't last long here. The snow is melting quickly.
Mar 15, 2021 1:50 pm
Ziggy's quick trip outside
Mar 15, 2021 8:22 am
I dug Ziggy a tunnel in our 2 feet of snow, but it doesn't go far enough...
Mar 15, 2021 8:07 am
Ziggy is not amused by 17 inches of snow.... And more coming!
Mar 14, 2021 1:59 pm

Cute little guard cat
Mar 14, 2021 8:16 am
Ziggy checked on me when I settled in the living room.
Mar 14, 2021 8:15 am
Ziggy monitored me while I removed the caked snow from my jacket and hair.
Mar 14, 2021 8:14 am
Snow - Sunday morning edition. Since I was up on and off all morning, I can tell you with certainty that the storm finally rolled in around 6:30 am MDT. One of those spring snows - so much water content that it is right on the border between snow and slush. So far, we have 4.5-5 inches of it, depending upon where I measure. Current forecast is for another few inches before the storm leaves later today. Under Ziggy's surveillance, I cleared it off of trees and bushes, shoveled part of the back patio and then half the walk out front. My hands were cold, so I came in. More to do later.
Mar 14, 2021 8:12 am
After her nap, Ziggy ran to the back door, so we both went out on the patio to check the snow.
Mar 13, 2021 4:15 pm
Ziggy is sleeping downstairs and I am watching the snow from the upstairs office.... I mean, working in the upstairs office
Mar 13, 2021 1:17 pm
Guard loaf
Mar 13, 2021 8:26 am
"Nope."..... Thankfully, the weather has remained warm enough for freezing cold rain instead of a foot of snow, but freezing cold rain is still freezing cold rain.
Mar 13, 2021 8:06 am
All snuggled in for an afternoon nap
Mar 12, 2021 11:52 am
After much consideration, Ziggy decided on a quick rabbit check before going inside.
Mar 12, 2021 10:50 am
When you have been asking to go out all morning, but didn't realize it was raining......
Mar 12, 2021 10:26 am
Sleepy rainy Friday
Mar 12, 2021 7:52 am
Spruce tree hat. ?? It has been raining overnight. The rain will turn to snow tonight. This little rabbit has been very busy with preparations this morning.
Mar 12, 2021 7:05 am
After being told to leave the squirrel be, Ziggy vanquished one of her toys instead and decided to accessorize. She has been going around the house with this feather across her shoulders for at least half an hour. ??
Mar 11, 2021 4:25 pm
Part 3 of 3: I told Ziggy the squirrel needed to fill up on food before our snowstorm. I brought Ziggy inside. The squirrel immediately went back to eating. ???
Mar 11, 2021 3:50 pm
The chase! If you look closely where the tree forks, you can see a squirrel ear on the right trunk.
Mar 11, 2021 3:42 pm

So many birds.... Makes your ears go crazy and it gives you something to do while trying to make Kari feel bad for replacing your stump with a patio. ??
Mar 10, 2021 8:57 am
Ziggy is working hard to make sure I feel sorry for replacing her stump with a patio
Mar 10, 2021 8:49 am
Ziggy's tip of the day - find some good grit and take it with you.
Mar 09, 2021 10:14 am
Meet and greet
Mar 09, 2021 8:46 am
It was chilly out, but Ziggy did inspect my work from yesterday. Our contractor will grind the old stump as well as the roots in the path of the patio once I finish digging around them.
Mar 09, 2021 6:00 am
Good night!
Mar 08, 2021 10:14 pm
You know there's a project afoot when the laser level comes out! By digging up the yard to expose roots I want the grinder to catch I inadvertently went from "I'm not working on the patio this year" to "of course I am working on the patio this year". Ziggy came outside to get in on the laser level action. And yes, Mike (my hubby) came up with a plan on how to handle the very steep slope in the back yard.
Mar 08, 2021 7:56 pm
And sometimes, the better part of valor is to protect the Crinkle Paper Empire from the mighty trash truck.
Mar 08, 2021 7:10 am
Ziggy decided today was the day she would stand her ground against the terrifying trash truck! ... From a safe distance.
Mar 08, 2021 6:42 am
It's a quiet Monday morning, rabbit check went ok.... But wait, is that the trash truck?

Mar 06, 2021 12:52 pm
I call this the "Hungry Dragon" pose....this what Ziggy does when she wants what I am eating, knows she is not getting any, but feels obligated to ask just for the sake of complete and accurate communication.

Expert puzzle help. I have one more puzzle planned before I transition into spending my free time on landscaping....Ziggy wants to help me finish!
Mar 05, 2021 12:39 pm
The painters are back. They should finish this morning.
Mar 05, 2021 8:21 am
Happy Friday from the Crinkle Paper Empire.
Mar 05, 2021 7:39 am
It's cloudy today, and the painters are taking a break. So, Ziggy is spending the day in bed. This is afternoon bath time
Mar 04, 2021 11:44 am
First flower! I created new gardens last summer, and this is the first flower of 2021 in the new garden! ??
Mar 04, 2021 8:54 am
The painters are gone until Friday morning. The house is quiet. Ziggy is happy and is warming my husband's arm.
Mar 03, 2021 5:51 pm
While she doesn't look happy (painters are still working outside), Ziggy and I wish you a Happy Whisker Wednesday!
Mar 03, 2021 12:18 pm
Ziggy says, "I don't recall saying I was ready to go inside and start working. No, thinking about it, that is definitely not something I said. "
Mar 03, 2021 6:59 am
Mrs. Fox doesn't go on the stump. Such a mess...
Mar 03, 2021 6:45 am
It's hard to check for the rabbit with all the stuff from the painters in the way
Mar 03, 2021 6:40 am
Home from the vet and settled back in. Happy Tongue Out Tuesday!
Mar 02, 2021 9:10 am
Ziggy says this has truly been a terrible start to the week. First the painters and now a vet visit. She had an ear infection during her physical a few weeks ago, so this is just the checkup to make sure it is all cleared up.
Mar 02, 2021 7:58 am
There's something right on the other side of that wall! Too bad there is no way to explain "yes, it's the painters who are painting the house" to Ziggy. It's been a hard day for her.
Mar 01, 2021 3:11 pm
Little cat in a big scary world. There are lots of sounds outside and the windows are covered because the exterior of the house is being painted.
Mar 01, 2021 3:02 pm
Monday morning lazy dot. Ziggy has been bugging me for dot time, but I have to bring the dot to her.

Happy Caturday! Ziggy is contemplating why she resisted trying cheese - it was tasty! She was very suspicious of people good when we got her in the fall of 2019, but now she likes baked chicken, butter, french fries, and mozzarella.

Second try with the snow. Ziggy kept asking to go out because she really wanted to check on the rabbit. I told her he is still in bed. There's no rabbit in that snow. ????
Feb 25, 2021 6:47 am
Snow....no.
Feb 25, 2021 6:45 am
Ziggy says, "It's snowing - turn on the fireplace"

Things are pretty suspicious on the patio this sunny Caturday morning. We had to move things to get ready for having the house painted.

I told Ziggy she would have to wait until I got the walks shoveled, but she had to see for herself.
Feb 18, 2021 6:01 am
Perfect spot to work tonight and watch the snow. ????????
Feb 17, 2021 7:53 pm
Snow and a rabbit. The snow started this afternoon. While most of the country is tired of snow, the storms keep missing us and it has been very dry. Grateful to get a little share of the water.
Feb 17, 2021 7:52 pm
Lunchtime snuggles, there's a first time for everything. Why? The gutters are being replaced on our house.

Ziggy will wish you all a happy Valentine's day later. Right now, the yard is filled with birds and rabbits getting breakfast, and the situation requires careful monitoring. Extra food was left out because it is -2 deg F (-18.9 deg C) outside.
Feb 14, 2021 9:06 am
Now Valentine's day celebrations include Ziggy, all better. ??

Good morning! My cat alarm normally wakes me up with her chortling - a series of soft purps, meows, and purrs. This morning, she woke both of us up and terrified herself with a bathroom misadventure that ended with stuff on the floor and a metal trashcan loudly crashing against the tile floor. I told her maybe she can go back to chortling tomorrow. ??

Sadness about cookies. Last night, Ziggy discovered that fortune cookies are awesome. When she realized we were eating leftovers for lunch, she was all ready for more cookie bites. I had to inform her that there were no leftover cookies. *Sigh*
Feb 05, 2021 10:52 am
Happy Friday! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

A happy Ziggy in the sun. She toasts so well, her fur was almost hot when I picked her up. But I told her I don't have fur that toasts up, and 15 minutes sitting out there was about as much as I could do.

Cautiously watching geese. I woke up to an angry loaf in a corner - I had slept through the trash truck entering the neighborhood, irresponsibly leaving the cat to fend for herself. Fortunately, everything worked out ok.

So gritty ... Ziggy likes to roll in leaves - camouflage?

Ziggy went back to bed after her crow encounter
Jan 17, 2021 11:23 am
Ziggy and the crows. I told her cats should not mess with flocks of large crows. She thought that sounded like good advice and ran back inside.

I am clearly not paying enough attention to Ziggy. ??

Ziggy has been keeping herself occupied with the wind

Guard cat still on duty, even if it doesn't look like it ??

A more human-friendly way to get some sun!
Jan 14, 2021 1:53 pm
As I sit here all bundled up, I can't believe I agreed to this for a third time today, but Ziggy is very very satisfied with the squirrel who is yelling at her.

Toasting in the sun on a cold windy day.

It's cold. It's windy. The human is not thrilled, but Ziggy has been very busy!
Jan 14, 2021 9:01 am
Good morning!

Goofy cat and the old duvet cover, part 2
Jan 13, 2021 12:05 pm
Every time I am thinking of replacing the old duvet cover with actual curtains, this happens. ?????? Adorable goofball

Today was not only Day 1 of her new diet, it was cleaning day. Ziggy provided management oversight for the reinstatement of the Crinkle Paper Empire tonight.
Jan 12, 2021 8:30 pm
A melancholy trip to the back yard tonight after dinner. Ziggy is on a new diet from her vet that rebalances some things and cuts 33kcal per day. Today was day 1. I was not popular for my administration of this plan.

Tuesday morning toast interrupted by chickadees!

Good night!

Ziggy was poised for attack and talking a lot, but just couldn't get rolling.
Jan 10, 2021 1:49 pm
Ziggy is embracing the concept of remote work. We checked on the yard this morning (she woke me up insisting we do so), but didn't venture into the snow..... except for this one footprint. ??

Contemplating snow and birds

Snow! And a cat who decided to quickly do her morning rounds to guard the yard.
Jan 09, 2021 8:38 am
Happy Friday! After a rough week of defiant chickadees and cloudy weather, Ziggy's Friday morning rounds ended with 2 doves and an angry squirrel in a tree. It's going to be a good day!
Jan 08, 2021 7:47 am
Feel like I am being watched ??
Jan 07, 2021 8:45 pm
Outside on a chilly and cloudy afternoon, waiting for something fun to happen....
(I think Ziggy is going to be disappointed in the level of fun out here. No signs of birds, squirrels, or rabbits)
Jan 07, 2021 1:23 pm
My coworker has finally showed up for work. ??

Good night!

So sleepy

Ziggy and the defiant chickadee. She was absolutely incensed that he would not only sit at the bird feeder while she chattered at him from her perch by the shed, but he chirped no "dees". Chickadees chirp different number of "dees" based on threat level. So "chicka-dee-dee-dee-dee" is a higher threat level than "chicka-dee-dee". This defiant chickadee looked at Ziggy and said "chicka chicka".... No dees. I told her, "honey, I think he knows there is no way you plan to jump up there."

Wishing you a good morning on this Whisker Wednesday
Jan 06, 2021 7:24 am
Ending the day on a high note..... Dot and crinkle paper.
Jan 05, 2021 9:21 pm
Ziggy had a hard morning. We went outside to do her morning rounds, and she heard a scary truck. So, she ran back inside, only to learn that it was just a regular truck, not the terrifying trash truck. Outside time opportunity lost for no reason. I call this pose, "I can't even today" ??
Jan 05, 2021 8:37 am
Here is Ziggy's plan to keep my husband from going to work ??

Work in the office? No, it is clearly dot time. (Yes, I keep a laser pointer on my desk just in case)

New year, same mission. Guard the yard!
