Oh, now there’s a cute couple all snuggled together and getting along for once this month. We’re going to leave it at that because we don’t want to jinx it.

Maybe we should have titled this post MultiMammal Monday. Blueberry enjoys some chicken catnip treats while raccoon mama Bea does the same in the other feeder. People say raccoons and cats don’t get along and sometimes, we believe them. Our visiting raccoons have always gotten along with our visiting cats so we’re choosing to believe we have special visitors. Or maybe weird ones who haven’t logged onto the Internet yet to read up on interactional behavior.

Jauntily balancing a stylist purple Boink hat, Tessa is relatively happy summer has finally arrived.

After vacationing in the cool Swiss Alps through spring break (befitting its sleek white finish), the favorite fountain of the Colehaus Cats has returned to reside in the entry lending its splashy notes to waft throughout the house.

Neighbor cat and often-time visitor P takes full advantage of some dried Chicken and Catnip treats left unclaimed by other visitors. Aren’t her eyes a gorgeous green?

Another neighbor cat visitor, KeeKee (formerly Mr. MewMew), arrived too late for treats but didn’t mind cleaning up what scraps were left. That’s what happens when you sleep in, KeeKee.

Though the weather threatens to be more on the warm side than not, this weekend Mom’s going to re-lay all the brick that was removed when our bird feeder needed to be replaced. In a much cooler corner of the yard, let’s imagine this pretty trillium nodding in approval. “That project went on too long,” it whispers because no trillium speaks loudly.

So sleepy. So sweet and calm. You’d never guess Tessa chased Viola out of the kitchen hours earlier, whapped Quint across the nose when he wanted to snuggle after she honed in on his fleecy fort, and screeched at a visiting cat who was peeking in the back glass door. If you look closely, you’ll see she’s peeking at the camera, probably making sure its capturing her “I’m completely innocent” look.
