mirrors – Page 2 – Urocyon's Jaunts 2.0

Mr. C just got back from the vet’s with both cats a little while ago.

Apparently, Mirrors was lying down totally behind the monitor for a while, but he was too occupied with Feist to get any photos 🙀

(Mirrors probably also wanted well away from his niece, by that point. Not just the overwhelming humans.

As usual, they shared a carrier. I would have thought Feist was running on empty after peeing all over Mr. C when we were trying to get her in there, but apparently not. The towel in the bottom was soaked enough that the vet swapped it out for another one before they left 🙄 With both cats stranded in the Cat Piss Sea for a while.

Not too surprised that they have a need for a rolling supply of pet carrier towels, like the box of spare dry pants in my kindergarten class. But, that’s the first time we’ve needed to make use of it so far.)

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.

this is so cute and such a damning indictment of the fact that i seriously need to do the dishes

he’s helping

Been a while since I saw that. But, it’s apparently dual cat bed time again this evening 😸

I evicted someone from the counter to use it.

So, not content to claim he’s seriously dehydrated and needs his little cup at the sink, now he urgently needs to lounge over there 🙀

Time for some quality dual cat lounging, on a hot evening

Well, somebody is getting some good out of that “cat lodge”. The roof, at least 😽

It’s starting to get a little dark out there now, but Mirrors doesn’t care. He’s been spending at least half his time lounging on the handy kitty sun deck whenever it’s not actively raining, since the weather has been warmish lately.

Still out there in the dark, almost 2 hours later. And looking about as happy with the flash as you might expect.
