Mistaken

Posted on August 31, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Finnegan believes the new tree is his.

A handsome tuxedo cat sits in a round basket attached to a cat tree constructed from real tree limbs.

In this, as in so many other things, the young Lion is mistaken.

Cat About Town

Posted on August 30, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

A proper Cat about town…

A magnificent tuxedo cat arches his back slightly, holds his white-tipped tail out almost straight in an upward diagonal, and fixes the camera with a fierce, sultry yellow glare. The cat stands on a wooden porch, and there’s a patch of dark green grass and a wooden fence. If you’re familiar with this blog, you may recognize that this is not the cat’s house. If you’re not, just trust me. This is NOT his house!

…such as myself…

The cat is still on the outdoor deck but now his face is in a pretty white porcelain bowl. He is happily chomping away. Same deck = still NOT home.

…frequents more than one dining establishment.

Life

Posted on August 29, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

How you Humans hope to find life on other planets is a mystery to us Cats.

A handsome black panther sits next to a man dressed in grey shorts and a black tee shirt with a graphic image of the Mars rover in front of an orange circle that represents the planet. The cat is swishing his tail and looking up at his human with slightly narrowed yellow eyes. He seems to be sharing his opinion on human space exploration.

Not to criticize, Human Daddy, but you and Human Mommy don’t seem to notice even a fraction of the creepy crawlers and occasional rodents that set up residence beneath the stove.

When

Posted on August 28, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

I’m wondering, Sunny, when this oppressively hot summer will be over.

A medium-sized yellow dog sits next to a huge black and white hound on a window seat in a big bay window. The yellow dogs folded triangular ears are perked, while the great, big hound dangles his magnificent white paws over the edge of the seat.

I’m wondering that, too, Cosmo, but my more immediate concern is when dinner will be.

Sunday Night

Posted on August 28, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

I see you are sad that tomorrow is Monday, Human Mommy.

A large, stripy dilute tortoiseshell cat lounges on her back with her white, wonderfully strokable tummy exposed.

It is unfortunate that you do not share my Feline insouciance regarding the days of the week.

Lap Time

Posted on August 26, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

The Meowies seem to get an inordinate amount of lap time compared to us Doggoes.

A large, stripy, dilute tortoiseshell cat sits on a human’s lap. In the background, there is a huge, black and white hound splayed out on the hardwood floor. He is looking wistfully at the cat, wishing that he, too, could be enjoying some lap time.

We probably should’ve read the fine print on the lap reservation app the Meowies set up.

Bed

Posted on August 26, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

The Humans got us a new bed.

A large black and white hound with white paws luxuriates on his side in a square shaped, grey dog bed with fluffy lining.

There’s no better way to start the weekend than with a Friday night snooze in a brand new bed!

Cat Tree

Posted on August 24, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Oh, look!

A handsome ginger and white cat is curled in a shallow grey and white basket attached by rope to tree branches in a living room.

A tree with attached napping baskets has appeared in my living room.

The same cat in the same basket. The photographer has backed up, revealing that the branches are part of an elaborate cat tree, befitting a Lion king.

The Lion King approves.

—Finnegan

Lucky

Posted on August 23, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Not to brag, but I’m curled up on the most comfortable Sleeping Cloud, next to the most gorgeous girl, and there are no thunderstorms predicted in the weather forecast.

A medium-sized golden colored dog is stretched out behind a much larger black dog on a round, fluffy dog bed. The two dogs are laying in opposite directions so that the little guy’s head is next to the girl’s hindquarters and vice versa. The little golden guy has a great, big smile.

Yup, I’m the luckiest guy in the world.

—Sunny

Pour moi?

Posted on August 22, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Human Daddy is building me something. It must be a much larger version of the Winter Palace I frequent a few palaces down.

A large black and white tuxedo cat sprawls on an outdoor deck and watches as his Human Daddy constructs something down below. There is a wooden floor in place already and the human has placed a half inch high high metal frame 6 inches or so in from the edge of the floor.

It’s too early to make a decision, of course, but Miss Debby may have some competition this year.
