Ribh's D'Coopage

[Ribh]

Come on Portia, be a good girl and get better.

Still wobbly but steadier than she was yesterday. She is out with everyone & keeping up.

 

[Ribh]

This little girl is getting close to POL, judging by the redness of her comb, so when she began agitating @ the door this morning, I let her in. I thought, like China, she considered the house her coop & might be looking for somewhere to lay. Nope. She just wanted in.​

Why?
Who knows. She strutted round looking @ everything. Even Tootsie knows the cats don't touch the chickens but she scolds the dogs, who are bum sniffers. None of the chickens appreciate that. I got a running commentary the whole time, then the head cock that means, I want up. I gave her her cuddle & put her back out the door. She began screeching immediately. The tribe had moved on & she wasn't sure where they were. She headed off towards the orchard, which was the logical choice, only as it's wet [again!] the girls had abandoned it for a drier spot. She tried the laundry, also abandoned. Uncertain, she looked towards the house. As soon as I stepped outside she shot towards me to tell me how those big meanies had gone off & left her all alone! I scooped her up & walked her up to the trailer, which is a dry, dusty, go to spot for both very hot & very wet weather. Everyone was there. Everyone immediately came out, whether because they thought I had treats or to greet their missing sister is arguable.
She is such a funny, quirky little personality! Anyway, all is now well in her world.

WET CATURDAY.
This one sleeps here.​

This one has stolen a dog bed.​

This one has nicked my chair.​

This is the only one that uses the very expensive cat tree.​

4 cats in the house. That really would give me the creeps Ribh.

But I am pleased with my 4 neighbours cats. They keep the mice away.
This is one of them.

And one from the other neighbour.

No, only 3. The boys, Marlow & Kirby, are bonded Ragdoll Xs. I've had them about 13 years. Ash is actually my son's cat, who may or may not, have permanent residency. She's only about 2 & the most aggressive/dominant of the 3 despite being a newcomer. We think she has some Russian Blue in her but she is a serious lap~cat.

Tootsie has finally produced her first egg.
Yes, she laid in the house.
Yes, it was a bona fide circus.
yes, she laid in the most inaccessible spot possible.

Happy Caturday

Christofur last night waiting for me to get up and go to bed. He knows that on my way to brush my teeth he and Rascal will get their bedtime dry food snack.

Waiting out the downpour to come roost.
