Watch out fish!

If Car-E had his way he’d be my the fish tank, swimming with my three fish. I can imagine that happening. A lot of splashing would have ensued with a very wet cat emerging.

(The fish are twenty-nine cent feeder fish. I don’t buy expensive fish anymore because they usually die.)

Five months ago, I started out with six feeder fish. I’m down to 3. Hopefully, they will live to see another day. Anyway, these can easily be replaced for a few pennies.

Car-E squeezed behind the tank. too, but I wasn’t fast enough to capture that image. I’ll try again when he returns to watch the fish again.

The kitten even tapped on the hood to see if there was a way inside the tank. Luckily, for all involved the top was secure.

Some house pets entertain others. Right now these fish are entertaining my kitten, Car-E and they all are entertaining me.

Kitten vs. old cat

Car-E the kitten wants to play all the time.

Othello 16 yr old cat wants a treat. For the old cat, the kitten is a pain in the butt.

Here’s one encounter between the kitten and the old cat.

No one was hurt. Car-E gave up quickly, but….

Car-E soon forgets and goes after Othello again.

It takes a lot to get Car-E to give up playtime.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Car-E can be the sweetest kitten…when he’s sleeping.

When it’s playtime for Car-E he uses his teeth and nails.

If you play with him, watch out for your fingers.

This sweetie can turn into a monster fast.

Good thing he likes to cuddle when he’s finished playing.

A Bob build

Years ago, when two young cats came to live with us, Bob extended the window sill in the kitchen. This was so Pete and/or Othello could sit and look out the window.

Bob never met Car-E, but I think he would be pleased to see my new cat is using the extended sill.

Today, Car-E watched a rain shower. Last night he was looking at chickens who had come up on the porch. He’s also observed outside cats, whom he might be related to.

Bob would have built many more climbing and perching shelves for our cats. He really liked seeing others who had upper shelves and tubes going from room to room for their cats.

As the other cats age they gave up on perching on the kitchen window sill.

Now it’s all Car-E’s.

“Mew,” said Car-E, which means, “thank you, Bob.”
