Three Canadian cats and their adventures
Zulu likes to hang out with me when I work and today I noticed something odd…
He is getting quite gray. He’s only 12 years old so I was surprised.
I have never had a cat go gray before. Has anyone else? Is it normal? Regardless, I think it makes him look very distinguished!

NO! That orange and white kitty you see is not Frodo. It’s Harry! One of my neighbours got a young cat named Harry. Incredibly friendly. He keeps coming to my backyard to try to make friends with the cats.
Zulu took one look at Harry and made a run for it.
Despite his relaxed approach, Amarula has already attacked him twice but he just keeps coming back! He will not be deterred.
He’s a good climber and a bit of a daredevil.
And he spends a lot of time looking at Frodo (maybe he thinks he’s looking in a mirror) I thought Frodo would love him but there’s something about him that Frodo doesn’t like. Though Frodo won’t admit it, I think it has to do with Harry being orange and white just like him. Is it possible that sweet Frodo is actually experiencing jealousy!?
FRODO: That Harry is stealing my spotlight! I am supposed to be the most lovable Creamsicle kitty on the block!

It’s Zulu and Frodo’s fav time of the year. No, not Christmas. Today was the first day mom turned on the fireplace. What we humans know as winter, the felines call “fireplace season”
Get your snuggle on!
It will be tough, but I think Frodo and Zulu will somehow manage to struggle through the winter!

Sadly, despite years of trying, Amarula simply can’t figure out why she’s been unable to master the game of Hide and Seek.
AMARULA: Frodo and Zulu always find me! They must be cheating

Amarula loves to sit on the porch and survey her domain. Sadly she doesn’t like doing so on rainy days!
AMARULA: Stop staring at me and do something about all this rain! You know it’s time for my neighbourhood rounds which I can’t do if it’s raining.
AMARULA: You don’t want to see what happens when a tortie gets wet! Trust me!

Amarula loves patrolling my hummingbird feeders to look for snacks. She insists she’s just protecting her territory from invaders.
They are so fast that Amarula has never even gotten close to catching one! (and she’s actually quite frightened by the quick buzzing noise their wings make–though she would never admit it!)
AMARULA: They look so yummy!
I’ve got my eye on you Amarula!

Look what I get to wake up to every morning
Well not every morning. Zulu sleeps with me every night but Frodo only occasionally joins us.
FRODO: Oh Oh. I see mom spotted me opening my eyes
FRODO: Zulu don’t open your eyes or mom might think it’s time to get up!
ZULU: Shhhh. Just close your eyes buddy and go back to sleep. You make a great pillow by the way!

Who can spot the tortie? This is one of Amarula’s fav places to hide
Getting closer…
Closer…
AMARULA: I told you never to contact me here! Can’t a tortie get a little peace and privacy?

ZULU: Feast your eyes ladies! Yes I really am this handsome–no photo editing!
ZULU: And I always make sure I look my best with extra grooming
AMARULA: No one is interested Zulu. We all know who the real beauty is in this house!
ZULU: Why must you always interrupt my photo shoots Amarula!
ZULU: Is someone going to remove the tortie!!??
AMARULA: I’m ready for my closeup!

Ok so we’ll begin with yet more adorable photos of Frodo’s crazy sleeping positions.
Look at that tummy!
But now in (dare I say it…) even more exciting news…A family of owls in my neighbor’s backyard!
Feast your eyes on this family of eastern screech owls. Two parents and three babies (the babies are the fuzzy ones)
The same parents (and three different babies) spend a month in my neighbour’s backyard two years ago training the babies to hunt. We missed them last year and thought they were not coming back but here they are!
I’m in heaven! (And getting very little work done!)
