Me

Posted on July 2, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Human Daddy tried to take a picture of Human Mommy.

A magnificent black house panther sits in Egyptian pose atop a red boulder in a front garden. The panther looks at a woman in a red dress who stands on a stone pathway. The stones and surrounding grass are damp as if it has just rained.

But, really, the focus is on me, as it should be.

Lunch

Posted on July 1, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Lunch happened yesterday, but it is almost too late for lunch today and Human Daddy has made no move towards the kitchen.

Three disconconsolate dogs, a little yellow one, a little black one, and a big black and white one, lounge on a grey loveseat. They are wondering why they are not getting lunch today. They got lunch yesterday and they assumed that set a precedent.

We will have to console ourselves with the fond memory of yesterday.

And hope for High Tea.

Happy 4th Weekend

Posted on June 30, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Happy 4th of July Weekend, Humans! Enjoy yourselves, but not too much.

In particular, refrain from setting off fireworks.

A lovely, petite tortoise shell cat naps on a window perch with her paws and tail curled daintily just so. The cat is napping on an upper floor, as befits her status. Out the window, below her, her backyard empire is visible, including a white brick structure that resembles a European cottage, but is actually a garage that her humans really need to clean out, bright flowers practically bursting from their pots, and a fine, wild green garden.

The Tortie Empress values her nap time.

Don’t make me deploy my Murder Mittens.

Still Right

Posted on June 29, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

I’m still right about this and…

A handsome ginger cat with a white chest and face mask balances on his back legs atop a grey stone in a verdant yard. His front paws are planted firmly in a bird bath shaped like a sunflower. The cat stares at the camera, daring you to judge him for his paw placement.

…my front paws are enjoying a refreshing soak.

Geological

Posted on June 28, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Human Mommy, why are you once again taking photos of a grey, highly unobtrusive stone, and thereby peeking the Birdies’ worst suspicions?

This is a Cat blog, not a geological blog.

A grey, stripy cat sits in a tight loaf position on a bed of vibrant clover and grass. She is staring daggers at the human taking her photo. The dumb human is ruining her disguise by taking pictures. The human needs to stop NOW.

No one is interested in stones, except hopefully the plump, playful Birdies who will recognize me as an irresistible perch.

Waiter

Posted on June 27, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Oh, look, Darth! Our waiter has finally arrived.

Two exceptionally handsome cats lounge on a red cushion on an outdoor rattan couch. The cat to the left is a glossy black house panther. He is completely conked out, with his long limbs stretched out carelessly. The cat to the right wears a bespoke tuxedo and appears to have just awakened from nap. He is looking imperiously over his shoulder, presumably to a waiter who has finally arrived to take the cats’ cocktail orders.

Shall I order a ‘Niptini for you or are you more in the mood for a Meowjito?

Not to criticize

Posted on June 26, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Not to criticize the other Guard Dogs…

A small black and caramel dog lays on her stomach in a bay window. She is relaxed but alert, ready to let loose a fury of barks should the necessity arise. She is looking over her shoulder, away from the window. Her expression is a trifle judgmental.

…but…

We see what the little guard dog is looking at. On the other side of the room, a large dog bed contains three guard dogs, two large black ones and one little yellow one, all in various states of repose. These Guard Dogs are most definitely not on duty.

…sometimes I feel like I’m the only one…

The little, dedicated Guard Dog is still in the bay window. She has turned away from her less dedicated colleagues and is refocusing her attention on surveilling the front yard. Someone has to guard the homestead, after all.

…who takes this guarding gig seriously.

Tummy Rub

Posted on June 25, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

Tummy rubs can and do happen everyday.

A happy golden dog lays on his back and exposes his snowy white tummy. A hand is rubbing his tummy and the little guy is smiling in delight.

But the best Tummy Rubs are Weekend Tummy Rubs!

Sandwich

Posted on June 24, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

You have a late afternoon toasty sandwich. I have an empty tummy.

A man casually dressed in a grey tee shirt and cargo pants is sitting on a couch and eating a perfectly toasted sandwich. A large black and white dog sits on the floor in front of the man and stares at him pointedly. The dog wants the sandwich. He needs the sandwich. He is obviously starving and the man is being really mean by not sharing.

I’m going to stare at you meaningfully until you do the right thing and GIMME SOME SANDWICH.

Friday Sushi

Posted on June 23, 2023 by sevencatsandcounting

I overheard the Humans discussing a Sushi dinner as a Friday night treat.

A large, stripy, dilute Tortie crouches over a backyard pound and laps up the clear water. A school of orange fish position themselves at a safe distance from the cat and regard her warily. They hope she is only grabbing a drink at the bar and isn’t planning on dinner.

I wonder if they’ll be joining me at the backyard vending machine.
