Sneaking up on Zuzu – 2016 © Colehauscats.com
Lately, Pia has gotten into the habit of sneaking up on others, usually to start a game of chase. We think she might not know the depth of trouble she’ll find herself in if Patrol Sergeant Zuzu knew what she was up to here.
Pia, are you looking for trouble?

Why, no, Mom. I wasn’t looking. I think it found some right here!

If we hadn’t already said, “Spring is here,” we’d now say, “Spring is here!” Because these crocus say so.

Over in the side yard, we had a brave daytime raccoon visitor. Usually, the raccoons around here show up during the day hours only if 1) They are really, really hungry, 2) They are pregnant and need the extra food (a wee bit early for that situation here), or 3)…

… If they got word there are some really cool feeding stations they simply MUST check out. Waiting patiently at the fence opening, Cocoa says, “Um, stripy one, you’re in my spot.”

Farther down the row, someone has moved into the feral shelter Spitty’s Place. Can you see the tamped down straw? We bet this is a great cozy spot to spend the chilly night…

… especially since we just cleaned out the shelters and stuffed them full of new, fresh bedding straw.
Who is this? – 2016 © Colehauscats.com
Maybe this mystery cat has staked out a claim on Spitty’s Place. We have no idea who this kitty is. Very skittish. Very intense eyes.

We know who this cat is, though. This blurry photo is of Reenie, who lives at Momo’s house up the street. After three years, Reenie still won’t let us take a good photo of her.

Lastly, here’s some more purple flowers. Mom might have gone a *teensy bit* overboard on purple-y plants last year. But it ought to all even out once everything else pops into bloom later in the month. That’s about all that’s going on around here. Miss Itty says Hi! Have a good weekend!
Quint’s morning stretch – 2016 © Colehauscats.com
Just doing my morning stretches. Getting calm with my inner self and feeling those muscles stretch and relax. Gotta keep limber, mentally and physically, and raring to go at a moment’s notice because you never know when….

…Hey, now there’s a good smell! Who knew morning stretchies would include exercising my nose?
