Our Sympathy to Mia's Family

So sorry for the loss of Mia and love she brought to their family. Purrs and hugs from Muddy, Myst and Dandelion

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween to everyone out there. Yep, this is just a pic of me yawning, but I am more than ready for some good treats!

Mighty Myst

The Mighty Dog-Chasing Myst now sits on the king-sized bed, resting in assurance that he can keep all dogs out of the house. He growled at one yesterday who was peeking in the door and though that dog was friendly and curious the whole time, the dog did leave, thus leaving Myst with a sense of accomplishment in defending our home. I feel safer now.

Big Drama

Terry and I were in another room when we heard a very very loud scream, one neither of us had heard before. We both tore out of the room to see what was going on and then we saw it. Myst was ALL PUFFED UP and SCREAMING very very angrily at the neighbor's dog who had escaped his fence and was looking at him through the storm door. (This photo doesn't show the initial screeched up look or the puff tail too well, but it was there when we first ran into the room.)

We had never seen such a sight before: Myst with a totally frizzed out tail! I stayed a good 10 feet away and jumped up on the furniture so I could see all of the action but being able to flee at a moment's notice.

Terry was in shock. She could not believe this loud, angry sound was coming from such a small cat who normally has a low monotone meow and hides in fear when it rains outside. Well, I was in shock, too, but I knew Myst was defending our house and that he was very very angry.

Terry went outside and put Zeus back in his fence. Myst walked around the house with a puff tail for a long time. He was pretty proud of himself because that dog never came back and he knew he had scared it.

Pre-Brushing

This is me after I just woke up and before I was brushed. I think I should be brushed at least a dozen times a day, but its hard getting my pet humans to understand this. They do it only twice a day, but I work on them. One day, I might have them trained better.

Inspecting

It's my job to inspect everything that comes into the house or appears to be hidden. Anything good in here?

Box!

I love this time of year because more boxes arrive! I just wish this one were laying flat so I could sit on it.
