Another week with just one post.  I haven’t read any blogs, either.  lately, I’m not even playing video games.  I pulled the snowblower out for the first time this year.  It rattled to life in a haze of blue smoke and several angry grunts.  I just grunted back.  that’s when the dog started scratching the door to go back inside.

 I don’t know why shelter cats lie in their litter boxes.  The staff go out of their way to make soft beds available.  I think it has something to do with scent.  Even though the laundry keeps everything clean, I think they can still smell other cats on the beds.  Cat have a better sense of smell than dogs, and dogs are about 200 times better than humans.  These two were friendly and didn’t seem too stressed out, so I suppose they prefer the familiar scent of the litter box.

 

 

 Can’t please everyone…  The orange cat just decided that I was no good.  I’m at a disadvantage with scared cats.  Cats rely on eyes to judge our mood.   Wide eyes mean alertness, and in the case of a cat cornered in a cage, confrontation.  I try to look at the cats through half lidded eyes, which seems to calm most of them.  then I stick a giant camera lens in their face… that must just look like a giant cyclops coming to get them.  I’m surprised I don’t get more hisses when I’m taking pictures.  Miss Orange should be ok in a couple days.  She just got to the shelter yesterday, so she’s still a little freaked out by the whole experience.   I managed to get the shot in between hisses, but the best I could do was her sticking her tongue out at me.
