Something shiny on the catio. This screened-in porch allows prime backyard bird watching for both felines and people. (Household cats, indoors only. Household people occasionally go outside.)

Our cat Posey started joining us for morning yoga. She sprawls on the middle of my mat, and then rolls around, while meowing a LOT. It’s not very meditative with her there, nor is it easy to move around her; but I never tire of her antics.

Beans, teaching Buddha how to meditate. 🐈 Happy Caturday.

Look! No one is biting anyone’s ears. No one is swatting anyone’s face. No one is hissing or using bad language. We are being VERY GOOD sitting nicely together. It only took two years. 🐈

”…and in western East Virginia today, a shocking take-down of Santa Claus. A feline washing her face near the scene darted under the coffee table when approached.”

"You like cats," she said.
A statement, not a question: we were both wearing face masks with cat pictures, in the check-out line. I nodded.
“I got eleven of them, twelve if you count the one buried in the yard.” Seeing my interest, she added, “And I got two possums, three raccoons, and a couple of rats.”
She told me that one of the raccoons comes up to the sliding door because she feeds it hot dogs.
I said, “If I were a raccoon, I would show up for hot dogs.”
We nodded together about hot dogs. And then I had to pay, and go.

Year in Review, March 2020: the Catio
For the first time, I’m doing a yearly review using this template from Ness Labs. However, I’d like to do a photographic year in review, right here. Let’s start with Posey, who is on our screened-in porch, now known as the “catio.” This is early spring, 2020, ten days before our state issued a stay-at-home order for the pandemic.

Year in Review, April 2020: We Succeed in Doubling Household Cat Census, but Fail Miserably at Sourdough
One month later, we adopted Beans, the nervous fellow in the box below. And yes, besides adopting a pet, I tried another pandemic cliche: baking sourdough. (My dough did not rise. It sank. I learned to make sauerkraut and pickles instead.) Beans hid under a bed for two weeks.

Year in Review, November 2020: Beans Tries All the Beds
Beans eventually came out from under the humans’ bed and tried to share a cat bed with Posey. She kicked him out, and he had to go to his own.
