Tough Manager

Posted on August 7, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Focus, Human Mommy.

A petite tortoise shell cat sits on a cat tree next to her human’s desk. On the computer screen, there is a blank Excel spreadsheet. The tortie is looking at her human hard, as if wondering when and if she’ll bestir herself to fill out the spreadsheet. It won’t be soon enough in the tortie’s estimation.

That spreadsheet is not going to fill itself out.

Looking forward

Posted on August 6, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

It’s Sunday and Human Mommy is bummed out that tomorrow is Monday.

A handsome golden dog sits up propped against a colorful pillow. He is looking forward optimistically with a happy smile. Unlike his humans, the little guy has no issues with Monday.

On the other paw, I don’t mind Monday at all because the day after is Tuesday which guarantees a Tummy Rub.

Daddy Time

Posted on August 5, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Xena has many good qualities, but she is a bit clingy around Human Daddy.

A man wearing a black baseball cap, dark tee shirt, and grey pants sits on a window seat with his arms around a medium-sized dog with white under her chin and on her chest. The dog is looking straight at the camera, as if warning other dogs in the vicinity not to interrupt her moment.

I really appreciate it when I get some Daddy Time, too.

Lap

Posted on August 4, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Yes, Human Mommy, you have provided me with a comfortable and sufficiently lengthy lap cuddle.

A magnificent white cat with dark spots on his forehead thrones upon his human’s lap. He is looking at her a bit judgmentally. Although he enjoys the cuddle, his dinner has been inexplicably delayed.

But you failed to bake the organic chicken tenders that garnish my Fancy Feast dinner.

Why you couldn’t accomplish both tasks is a mystery to me.

What you came for

Posted on August 3, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Ever climb to the tippy top of one of the light posts Human Daddy built for you only to forget what you came for?

A small, grey and white cat perches atop a dark wooden light post at the entrance of a lush, green garden with fruit trees, a welcoming green bench, a stone pond, and attached stream. She seems to be thinking hard, as if she momentarily forgot why she climbed up there in the first place. The resident birds hope that she doesn’t remember.

Oh, wait, I remember!

Birdies. I came for Birdies.

Ballerina

Posted on August 2, 2023August 2, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

As a Cat Prima Ballerina, I have mastered an extensive repertoire of graceful lounging positions.

A large, dilute tortoise shell cat lays upon a beige carpeted cat tree platform with her stripy tail dangling beneath her body and curling just so.

Still, the Classic Tail Curl is my signature.

Chin Rest

Posted on August 1, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Papa Cosmo has many wonderful qualities but he is a bit too large to serve as a comfortable Chin Rest for me, the smallest Doggo.

A petite dog rests her small black muzzle, with pretty caramel highlights, atop a massive, midnight black dog flank. The little dog looks a little bummed out. She wants this to work, but the massive dog is just too big to accommodate her small head comfortably.

Too bad Sunny’s on break.

—Xena

Posing

Posted on July 31, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

I’m pairing a classic tail curl with a perfect back leg extension…

A large, stripy dilute tortoise shell cat lays on her stomach on a cat sized wooden window shelf. Her tail extends off the end of the shelf and curls underneath of it. One of her back, white stockinged legs extends off the edge, too, in a gorgeous balletic stretch.

…all while snoozing.

I’m very talented.

—Lily

Thank you

Posted on July 30, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Thank you, Little Xena, for loaning me the very special Dog pillow that Human Daddy gave to you.

Closeup of a black and white hound resting his noggin on a beige throw pillow with images of a variety of dog breeds on it. The real hound is smiling. He thinks the pillow is a bit of all right.

Also, thank you, Grammy Cat for giving Human Daddy this marvelous pillow for his birthday.

You have great taste in pillows.

—Cosmo

Saturday Schedule

Posted on July 29, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

My Saturday schedule is pretty packed with fun and relaxing activities…

A little yellow dog is curled up next to a larger black dog on a window seat. The little yellow dog is looking at the black dog with absolute adoration.

…but my priority is spending lovey-dovey time with my main squeeze, Stella.
