Feist just chased another fox out of here. This one came in the back door, and headed straight down the hall to the front room…where I saw her asleep in the window earlier. Not for long 😾

I was telling Foxy to leave, and pretty much got ignored. Then Feist charged, and Foxy couldn’t get back down the hall fast enough.

Almost wish I had managed to get video, but the whole episode took maybe a minute. Now Feist is sitting outside, guarding the patio and telling me about it.

Something tells me that might be one fox who won’t be so tempted the next time to go exploring through open doors 🙄 Maybe also wishing they’d stopped to snack on the dry cat food before checking out the rest of the place.

I got some shitty news RE: my disability payments today, just in time for my birthday tomorrow.

If y’all could send some cool/fun/silly asks or something, that’d be swell. I’m feeling mighty worthless right now.

Have my fat cat Loki. He always makes me smile

RUB THAT TUMMY FOR ME

unless it is a trap, in which case please to kiss the head

Here is a picture of my own Loki.  He does like tummy rubs.

RUB RUB RUB THAT BOY
GENTLY SQUEEZE HIS BEANS
HAIRILY HAIRILY HAIRILY HAIRILY
LIFE WITH CATS IS KEEN

Harley is prepared to slap either your negative feelings or the bureacracy until you feel better!

That’s what Feist thinks of bureaucracy. Tummy rubs, OTOH…

Someone was extremely indignant earlier, when Daddy took her perch in the hall away.

So, she’s been sacked out on it again for hours now since he brought it back from fencing 😽

She seems happy enough with the new temporary setup.

Mr. C left yesterday, and took the giant fencing bag away for a couple of weeks! 😿 Feist was not pleased.

So, I improvised last night with a carry-on bag he left beside the bed. Add a memory foam cushion I haven’t been using lately and an ugly old towel to top it off, and that may even be an improvement over the usual setup.

I have no idea wth kind of drama has been going on in the local urban fox community, but there’s been a lot of squabbling and screaming out there every night lately.

Some of it really close, since at least a couple of the ones involved live in one disused back garden the next house over. They keep running back and forth yelling through ours.

Anyway, I’ve been kind of surprised that Feist hasn’t been trying to chase them off. Since she got in the habit of defending the fortress when there were kittens, and she still doesn’t want a fox anywhere close. She’s getting older, and the weather seems to be enough to have her going lolnope now. Hasn’t been wanting outside much at all, more than last winter.

Just as well, since I really don’t want that cat out tangling with already seriously pissed off foxes. Retiring from the job? We can only hope.

But, the surprise tonight? They’ve been back and forth a lot behind the house. So, her uncle has decided to set up watch by the back door. He’s been camped up on a nice perch out there for at least an hour now.

Felt kind of dumb that it took me a little while to figure out why he didn’t want to come in when the Fox Wars sounded pretty close. Might help explain the other night too, when I went to run a couple of them off the (walled) patio with a flashlight, and he was hanging around out there then.

I’ve never seen Mirrors actively go after any foxes before, and thankfully he doesn’t seem to want to get involved now. (That perch also looks pretty secure, and they mostly do stay outside the wall. I would probably try to grab him in if he didn’t seem reasonably safe up there.)

But, apparently somebody needs to take over sentry duty if Scourge of Foxes is going to slack off and sleep in the front window instead 🙀 Or maybe he’s just being the nosy neighbor. Possibly a combo.
