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.

Chicken feet

I thought I’d share two clips of my older hens after the storm today.

The first hen I call Brownie. She has another name or two given to her by grandchildren, but I forget what they named her.

Silver is also known as Chocolate Chip. She was talking to herself as she wandered about the yard.

Soon after taking these videos, I encouraged them to go into their coop before another rain shower watered the farm again.

Hens make nice pets AND they give me eggs, too.

A short clip from a kitten’s tale

It’s time for another short clip of the life of Car-E.

It’s fun sharing Car-E’s antics with everyone.

Making these videos is the only way for others to enjoy his playfulness as no one is visiting inside these days with the virus roaming the world.

Car-E is an indoor cat, though he has tried to escape out the door. Watching for these attempts keeps me on guard. I do not want to lose my furry friend.

Growing fast

Car-E hasn’t been here for long, only since early June. He came as a little bugger and has more than doubled in size.

In the beginning, I had a little kitten.

Car-E could be considered to be a teenager now.

It is difficult getting a photo of Car-E these days. Most are out of focus because he’s racing around the room. Only when he’s asleep can I keep him in focus.

That’s the update on Car-E for today. He makes life interesting.

Need a little TP?

How can a little kitten get into so much mischief? Car-E always seems to be in trouble.

This day I came back into the house to find a trail of toilet paper out into the hallway. Car-E had been playing.

To keep the older cats happy, I gave Car-E his own room. It’s the small downstairs bathroom. Here he plays with his toys, eats, and sleeps. He also has his litter box there under the sink. Car-E likes his room and only has the door closed when his adventures get to be too much and he needs a timeout.

This day he was free to roam the house, but he found his way back to his room for some fun.

I could only laugh at his antics with the unrolled toilet paper roll. He had to jump for the tail to get it started, but he’s a cleaver one and went for the gold.

I took this video of him still having fun with his new, long white toy.

I hope you enjoy his antics and keep coming back to search for more videos of Car-E, and other things.
