Little Brother lounging
A cool front came through yesterday, bringing some rain here and there. There were some heavy but very brief showers. It's much cooler this morning.

RAWK!
Super show this past Sunday (10/25) - Underground Railroad To Candyland, Ghost Knife and Cruddy at Beerland. URTC was awesome, quirky and epic - it was over too soon. Ghost Knife is getting really sharp, both in their great songs and the witty repartee (is that redundant?) they engage in between songs - "It's all about Sepultura" - you'd never guess how they arrived at that observation. Cruddy was a blast although they were missing their bassist Dustin who at the last minute couldn't do the show.
And holy shit! We're back at Beerland for a GREAT show tonight - Digital Leather, Love Collector, the Dead Space, Flesh Lights and Literature. It will be a loud, cathartic, drunken, dance party. Man oh man oh man oh man oh man!
Gotta love the Leather!

Mandarin, Little Brother, Rosenquist, Nico, Bucky, Trinidad, Fuji and Honey Bunny ate this morning. Fuji hadn't been around for a couple of days, probably because of the rain - had some BIG rain this week!
Cool this morning, but getting warmer during the day. Should be pleasant this evening. Big show tonight!

It's much cooler this morning, near 50°, but it's going to be sunny and clear all day.
I saw a couple of Hawks flying directly over our block yesterday. They're probably Coopers Hawks judging from their coloration and size. They look like Red Tailed Hawks but much smaller. The adults are about the size of an adult cat, so shouldn't be a threat to our guys. I understand that smaller birds and to a lesser degree, Squirrels, are their favorite prey. Many of the local birds begin sounding the alarm when these Hawks are nearby. The Hawks are pretty noisy too, with a very distinct and loud call. It sounds like the monster call from a 60s Sci-Fi B-movie.

Mandarin, Little Brother, Rosenquist, Nico, Bucky, Trinidad, Fuji, and Honey Bunny ate this morning. Horsey has been pretty regular most days but wasn't here this morning. I had to chase him off last night because he was terrorizing Bucky and to a lesser degree, Rosy, during the evening feedings. He's a pretty cat and pretty sweet usually, but he can be a butthead occasionally.
His human originally named him Horses Ass because of his penchant for being mean to the other cats, but I could never call him that and have always called him Horsey. His person now calls him Horsey too.
Sammy has slept in our bedroom a couple of night recently. He's still pretty vocal in the early, early morning. I'm not sure if that helps us get up or makes more tired in the morning because our last hour of sleep has been interrupted.

Sammy is very affectionate and he got under the covers early this morning. He's taming up pretty good - loves to get a petting! He's getting along pretty well with the other cats.

It's cool, cloudy and kind of drippy, upper 50°s. It's really fall I think, although it's forecast to get into the lower 90°s later this week. A warm spell is always just around the corner in Texas.

Didn't see Horsey this morning and Anne reports he didn't eat with the others yesterday evening. We did see him later in the night. He was in the area when we arrived from the grocery store. As I was parking the car, this young-looking but fairly large Raccoon was coming out from near the hedge in the front yard. I honked my horn briefly to shoo him off and that succeeded in getting him moving. However, the Raccoon scampering away prompted Horsey to chase him. The Raccoon crossed the street and appeared to go under the wooden porch of the neighbors across the street. Horsey followed him over there. I didn't try to intercede because I thought that would just make them run further away together. Anyways, when I didn't see Horsey this morning, I remembered that. I sure hope he didn't tangle with that Raccoon.

Tracking the wild Bucky
Horsey has been messing with Bucky during the last couple of weeks. It’s gotten bad enough to where Bucky is changing his feeding attendance routine. He’ll be missing when everyone else has gathered to get fed and then come by later when the other cats have finished their first round of eating. Horsey has chased Bucky off occasionally when they were gathered at the feeding area before the food was brought out.
This morning Bucky was missing when I took the food bowls out. I banged one of the bowls on the ground a bit and whistled a bit to let him know I was out there. He didn’t come out immediately but a few minutes later, I did see him walking down the street back to the green zone at the dead end of the street. I called out to him, “Hey Bucky, how you doing?” as he approached the end of the street. He didn’t turn around (and I didn’t expect him to) and I could see that most of the food was gone from the bowl at the spot where he usually eats – under the back of Anne’s car. He then walked into the tall grass and disappeared into the green.
It’s cool watching him be a wild cat, but I kind of miss not ever being able to give him a petting. I’ve touched him a few times – just kind of stroked his back or tail during the feeding sessions a few times. He’s pretty nervous and doesn’t like that. We didn’t get to bond with him like we did with most of the cats. When he got trapped and then neutered, vaccinated, etc., he got away from Anne as she was transferring him from the kitty carrier to the larger kennel we planned to keep him in for a few days while he recovered from his procedure. Boy, I was mad when it happened. We didn’t see him for five of six days and I thought he was gone forever. I would have done the same thing if my nuts and ear had just been clipped by strangers, even if they were feeding me. But he showed up eventually and has been pretty regular for the last couple of years. I think this happened in the spring of 2006. He’s pretty much a scaredy cat even though he’s pretty big. He’s cute, a classic Red Tabby with golden eyes and a medium length coat – definitely not long haired, but not a sleek, smooth coat either. We love that Bucky cat.
