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.

Morning Report, October 28, 2009

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!

Morning Report, October 23, 2009

Mandarin, Little Brother, Rosenquist, Nico, Bucky, Trinidad, Honey Bunny and Horsey ate this morning. Didn't see Fuji.

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.

Rainy again today - who'd a thunk it'd be so rainy lately after such a hot, dry summer?

Morning Report, September 23, 2009

Mandarin, Little Brother, Rosenquist, Nico, Bucky, Fuji, Trinidad, Honey Bunny and Horsey ate this morning. They're all so cute when they're eating together.

Sammy is doing well. He ventures out of his room periodically and some of the other cats go into his room from time to time. The only he may have an issue with at this time is Simon, and it's not really overt trouble. Having said that, Jazz and Doria don't seem to be interested in having anything to do with him so far - they hiss at him a lot. He hasn't grabbed my hand or arm and bit it for over a week, although I think he did bite Anne in the last week. He's pretty exotic looking, having a long neck, legs and body. I need to get some pics of him uploaded.

We had a good rain yesterday, maybe near 3 inches! Everything is turning green again - yay!!

Happy Birthday Dennis! It's my brother Dennis' birthday. He's a great guy and a real anchor for the family.

Mandarin, Little Brother, Rosenquist, Nico, Bucky, Fuji, Trinidad and Honey Bunny ate this morning. Sammy is pretty wild. He bit the crap outta me this morning. I was petting him and got my arm too near his tummy. He latched on with his front paws, started "bunny" kicking me with his back feet and bit me pretty hard, all in about half a second. I yelled at him and he let go and ran off. Crazy cat.

It rained more during the day yesterday and is still raining off and on today. This is great - the trees and everything are getting a good soaking for a change. We won't have to do any watering of the Airport Blvd. trees this month. What a relief!

Mandarin, Little Brother, Rosenquist, Nico, Bucky, Trinidad, Fuji and Honey Bunny ate this morning. It was cloudy early, then it started raining intermittently throughout the morning. Yay!

Still cloudy in the early afternoon.

Also, I saw the first Schoolhouse Lilies of the season - nice! They're also called Oxblood Lilies. They are popping up in most of their usual places in our yard. Welcome back Lilies!
