Painter Likes First Snow

One of the Mama Spot's kittens moved into Bob's heated house right after Bob moved out. We call him Painter (due to white brash on his tail).

He is sweet little kid, or he used to be little and now has grown up a little bit, but is still as playful as he was when we saw him first.

Here is a small video of him enjoying the first snow:

He doesn't seem too bothered by freezing temperatures and below. As long as there is a food in the bowl, some entertainment around the patio and no other cats/ppl around he is happy.

Who Is Ready for the Holidays?

Stalone is!

Bob Went Home

With cold weather moving into Ohio, Bob is lucky enough to find a warm home and her own human. I hope it works out for both of them to a great life together.

Few pictures from Bob exploring her new place:

More Sunbathing

Fall is Here

Both in-door cats are excited that fall is here with all leaves falling and flying around:

New California Woods: Sunset

Just a colorful picture of the neighborhood taken at sunset while walking around:

Indian Summer with Bob

Just few pics of Bob enjoying some sun:

Bob Sunbathing

Bob is catching up on last warm rays of sun on our patio:

Mondays Are Hard

And so is this cat's life...

If It Friday Yet?

Stalone was discovering a new room while looking for Friday yesterday, hence the funny face :)

Soft Kitty

Just a pic of sleeping Stalone:

Enjoy!

Bob is Looking for Home

Bob is getting used to be on out top patio. And looking for a cat-friendly home. Never mind the more than ordinary cat appearance. He/she can offer all the friendliness in the world (will jump on top of you and ask to be petted) which coming from a stray cat seem very unusual.

Mama Spot

I haven't see Mama Spot for a while. After previous time when she brought her 4 kittens with her, she mainly came alone several times and just once with one kitten. The same kitten she brought again today.

I don't want to think what happened to other three :(

Raccoon Egor

Nothing special, just a photo of Stalone watching raccoon Egor checking out outdoor cats food:

Usually raccoons come after sunset, but this time he decided to be early for some reason...

Stalone and Ripple Rug Toy

I think all cat parents know: there is not such thing as too many of cat toys. There is always a room for one more. And cats like playing with new toys... So, when we got a ripple rug play mat for cats to entertain themselves we didn't even hoped it will be so much fun. See for yourself:

Openings in the play mat seem to be a bit too small for the mainecoon, however it doesn't bother him too much seems like.

Stalone Playing

We shoot a small video the day new cat tree has been delivered. Stalone plays a "tennis" game using his paw to kick a mouse which is thrown to him:

Bob is Not Alone

After our initial Bob encounter we figured out what there are few of cats who come over to check for food. They mostly come one by one, and look a like, so I am actually wondering if they are relatives of some sort...

One of cats who comes our back yard to get some food, tiny little one at first glance, brought her 4 kittens along for the day (I guess kitten daycare was closed or something). They chilled out in the back yard, played a lot, slept, played again and then left at night. One little one also managed to explore our top patio.

New Cat Tree (Cont.)

Shiva likes new cat tree too. Stalone did try to claim it all for himself, but Shiva was persistent and managed to get on and hold the "ground":

A New Cat Tree

It did seem that cats overgrown their old cat tree located in the living room for quite some time now. Even though they did not complain and were working hard on setting in in these beds which became somewhat tiny, but even if they succeeded, in result all limbs were sticking out and even more than that.

With all that said, cats deserved to get a cat tree upgrade. And today their Extra-Large 7-Foot-Tall Cat Tree "Sequoia" by "Molly and Friends" has arrived.

I haven't seen it myself yet, but Stalone got a sneak-peek already, and I've received a few photos of that process:

Lazy Weekend of Stalone

Stalone is lazy watching Kickboxer marathon:

I guess movie isn't ask exciting to cats as it is to us:

Lazy Friday's Afternoon

Cat's are enjoying themselves this afternoon. At first they both watched Bob eating on the patio:

Then they played, and now they both are getting ready for the afternoon nap.

An Au-Pair Cat

Out neighborhood has a variety of wild life: chipmunks, squirrels, raccoons, possums, foxes, deers, birds, even some kind of snakes. We also have cats walking around the house from time to time. Some of them are somebody else's cats, just walking the territory. And some others may not be so, but it is aways hard to tell. We even had mama cat bringing her two baby kittens few times last summer. I doubt they belonged to somebody, but they didn't do any harm, well apart of maybe catching a bird lured to our bird feeder occasionally, but that is life I guess.

Shiva Got Her Teeth Done

Gums and teeth always seems to bother her. She likes all kinds of dental treats and we use enzyme water, but she doesn't let me to do anything with her mouth. Water and treats did help a bit, but not as much that she could avoid some tooth extraction and thorough cleaning by a vet:

Stalone-Ouroboros

He is just sleeping really, but still...

Plain City Dusk

Yuriy snapped this pic with his phone on our way home yesterday... I wish this was done with better camera so it could be printed out... Breathtaking:

Few Pics from the Cruise

Stalone Is In the Office

Stalone has officially moved his business to the office, see the proof:

Sleepy Wednesday

After waking me up at about 4am in the morning Stalone decided that his goals for today are successfully achieved and retired to midday sleep:

... and I can barely keep my eyes open...

Walking Around New California Dr

It seems that whole neighborhood is blooming now. I snapped few pictures on my way back from a run other day:

Stalone, The Turtle

Stalone being an adult maine coone cat had slightly overgrown his cat tree for "average" size cats. He still loves it, all though him using a top "cat nest" resembles more a turtle than a cat in a nest:

Stalone and Sofa, Part 2

Stalone continues loving his sofa and enjoys lazy slow and sunny Friday:

Squirrel "Hunting"

Shiva is watching from her nest:

And Stalone is watching from his post:

Both of them are supervising this squirrel trying to steal birds food:
