A Belated Celebration of Wildlife

Waffles: Hey Boss? It says here that we missed National Wildlife Day. Isn't that every day around here?

Uh, Boss, do things look different around here to you? Isn't there supposed to be a lot more pink?
And chicken? Where's the chicken?

Katie: That's because you're on someone else's blog, Waffles. With all that teal and white, it must be Allie's blog.

Waffles: You mean Faraday's blog.

Katie: No, Waffles, I said exactly what I meant.

While the mom was away in Colorado cavorting with other cats, she also got some pretty great shots of wildlife. We (grudgingly) gave her today to observe National Wildlife Day. 

Which, we would like to point out, isn't today at all. It was Monday. Not that we're criticizing her for getting it wrong.

No, and we won't criticize her for abandoning us, either. Nope, not doing it.

Faraday: Okay, Waffles. Enough, already. You can leave now and go back to your pink blog and stuffs.

Waffles: You say that like it's a bad thing. I don't mind pink. Am I supposed to mind pink? Boss?
...Boss?

Huge thanks to Katie, Waffles and Glogirly for opening their home to our mom.

(and we know it's a bit late, but is anyone interested in seeing photos of the eclipse, from Ground Zero ~ Totality, here in Kansas/Missouri?)

Sunrise in Arizona...and a Cat Film Festival

One morning while our mom was away she got up just after dawn to take a walk and snapped these photos.
We wish we'd been there with her! (She wishes it too, she missed us!)

Actually, we all wish we'd been able to attend the first ever Cat Film Festival held last week at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.

Scottsdale, AZ, 6:30 AM: 90 degrees. Eek!

If you look carefully just right of center, you'll see a logo, made of 7,600+ golf balls. Done freehand. Color us impressed!

The view from hotel room balcony. Restful. Much appreciated during a hectic week.

But at risk of sounding kitschy...there's no place like home.

Unless you're Henri.

Happy Sunday - and stay tuned for a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT on Thursday! Can you guess what it might be?

Abandoned...Again!

While we're languishing inside our home, hanging over the A/C vents, trying to survive this heat...

Mommy's flying around the country again! Can you guess where she is this time?

Maybe this will help...?

Seriously. We're so terribly mistreated. She says she'll be home tomorrow, but we're not holding our breath.

Wordless Wednesday, post travel

Maxwell, making sure no one leaves again...
