cat bed
I’m up too early on a Saturday, and I owe it all to Bonkers, the oldest cat here at Our Humble O’Bode, who punched me between the shoulder blades this morning, as he does just about every morning. I think the furry little sausage is keeping track on a scoreboard in his secret lair and… Read.

promise
Slept in until seven this morning, in spite of the best efforts of a woodpecker, two cats and a passing thunderstorm to keep us awake all night long. The woodpecker keeps pecking on the bird house I put up for him even though he seems to be able to get in and out just fine.… Read.

la-la-lah
Apparently I missed all the fun last night. I hit the hay at about half past nine, but B stayed up late and not only got to see everything, she was right in the middle of it! That’ll teach me to go to bed just because I’m exhausted. While B was sitting up late, working… Read.

truckloads
Woke up at about four o’clock this morning to a massive downpour, lots of thunder and lighting and cats walking across my face, not technically part of what one would normally consider a downpour but it was happening, so I note it. Okay, just one cat. The other cat was taking up all the space… Read.

wakey-wakey
Boo decided to hork up a hairball at four-thirty this morning, so guess when I got out of bed today? When you have kids, you get up when they get up. When you have cats, same thing. After each of us slurped up a cup of life-restoring coffee, we threw on some clothes and headed… Read.

wonky-bonky
Bonkers got his purr back this morning. Actually, he did more than just purr, he went full-goose bozo on me, rubbing his ears against the edge of the table and sticking his hinder up in the air, begging me to pat it, so I did. Even so, I had to pick him up and put… Read.

trumpet
Boo woke me this morning by sticking her muzzle in my ear and uttering a single, piercing “Miaow!” It was like sitting right next to a stereo speaker while Louis Armstrong opened a song by blasting a high-C quarter note. More accurately, it was like having a five-year-old standing next to my bed on Saturday… Read.

wakey-wakey
Boo has apparently come to the conclusion that we should not sleep in on Saturdays. Every weekday morning, I get out of bed at five o’clock, start the coffee pot, take a shower, eat breakfast. She doesn’t pay any attention at all to me then, but on Saturday mornings, starting as early as six o’clock,… Read.

I changed out the storm windows for screens in the front door and windows this morning. The cats can’t decide whether to shit or go blind. Read.

blown
Nobody’s really sure what’s wrong with the Bonk. His right eyeball has a pupil blow open so wide you could literally drive a Mack truck through it, if it were a smallish Mack truck and you used “literally” to mean “figuratively.” Nobody knows why his pupil’s blown like that. The vet through it was neurological… Read.
