Incognito

Posted on by

spider the kitten

It’s fall on the farm, and it’s my favorite time of year. Even Spider the kitten is excited about the new fallen leaves.

I have to say I’m a wee bit jealous of her – as she’s become a master at going incognito in her leaf surroundings.

Even Cricket can’t figure out how not to stick out like a sore thumb.

And Trooper, don’t even get me started on him, sometimes I don’t even think he tries!

I on the other hand “might” be able to pull off the incognito look, had somebody (*cough* mom) not dressed me in BRIGHT BLUE! Sheesh!

But, despite my shortcomings in the incognito department I can still chase the cats….

….and romp with the dogs. Blue coat and all! Happy Fall to All!

 

Hide and Seek

Me and Cricket are playing Hide and Seek today on the farm. Will you help me find her?

She’s quite the crafty hider and sometimes I spend all day hunting for her around farm.

I thought I smelled her over by one of the ponies obstacles in the arena.

And I knew I heard a noise underneath the tarp.

But, when I peeked inside I saw nothing but darkness.

I was about to give up and move on to another hiding spot, when I thought I saw her little black tail poking out from under the tarp.

And just when I was about to tag her “it”, I thought I saw a groundhog out of the corner of my eye…..and she got away! That Cricket, she sure is tricky!

 

The Towel Game

Posted on by

Did you ever have a friend that always wants to make you play “their” game?

trooper and ammo

Yeah, that friend would be Trooper. He ALWAYS wants me to play the towel game.

He follows me around with that towel all day long.

Well sometimes I just don’t want to play the towel game. Sometimes….I just want to play CHASE!

Poor Cricket, she has no idea what she’s in for!

Dirty Looks

Posted on by

We’re having a heatwave in Pennsylvania right now. Which means that Trooper and I (and the kitties) can be found trotting around the farm with our tongues hanging out….it’s that hot!

ammo and trooper

It’s so hot in fact, that our wrestling/play matches have mellowed greatly. Normally Trooper would give me this look and I’d make a B-line for his ankles – you know, to take him down for giving me dirty looks.

Instead I’ve had to resort to name calling, because wrestling in this heat just isn’t going to happen. Nana-a-boo-boo, stick you’re head in doo-doo!

P.S. a word to the wise, don’t resort to name calling unless you are fast as lightning like me – or it could end very very badly.

Extra Vacation

Posted on by

I know yesterday was the 4th of July, but, well, I’m taking an extra day of vacation. Please don’t tell my boss, I might get in trouble.

It’s kinda nice to just lounge around with my friends today.

Ahhhh, nothing like an extra day of sunning!

Super Kitty

Posted on by

I admit, I’ve got Super Heroes on the brain. So when my pal Cricket the farm cat told me and Trooper she wanted to play too, we were so excited!

I know I’m not always good at sharing, but I decided to lend Cricket my Super Cape – so she could fit in.

I give you Super Kitty! Able to scale tall hay bales, hunt evil ground hogs with her night vision, and claw her way to the highest tree branch!

Oh and she’s also mastered the highest level of deception, the “fake cat nap”.

She may look like she’s off in snooze land……

….but she’s secretly sharpening her claws for her next cat fight!

oooo I’m shaking in my boots!

Cat in the Hat

Posted on by

Sometimes we wrestle. Sometimes we go hunting. Sometimes we sunbathe. And other times…….we like to wear silly hats together.

This is Spider – and she would like to be a painter too. So I let her borrow my beret.

Sometimes I have trouble sharing. Don’t tell my mom.

The Cat-Dog

Posted on by

I really think she has no clue.

And she must be spending way too much time with me. Not that I blame her. I am a super fun guy. But really, just look at that face….

….that’s the face of a CAT, not a dog, a CAT. And Spider the kitten really has no clue that she’s supposed to be a cat. Which is probably why Spider has taken to chasing her tail on a regular basis:

 

just like her big brother Ammo…

Rwarrrrr!

Oh Happy day! It’s getting warmer and warmer out at the farm, which means I’m getting to have a lot more fun with my kitty friends.

Hey Spider! Want to play jungle animals? You can be the Tiger and I’ll be the Lion. We can go on Safari together!

Humm. It’s a nice try Spider, but you’re being a little too “pretty” for a Tiger.

Yeah, that’s it. Blend in, so we can hunt for Safari creatures!

And then pounce when they least expect it!

I just wish you hadn’t gotten sooo great at blending in when we play Jungle animals….

….because really….where are you?

Capeless Super Dog

Posted on by

It’s that time of year again. Time to break out my super helmet & super cape and start practicing all of my super skills! Because this super dog is going to school!

Really.

Apparently next week me and my pal Minnow the Painting Pony are taking a trip to an elementary school! I have to know something about the famous Misty of Chincoteague – you know – from the children’s book. Something tells me I better get the cliff notes, that or maybe Minnow will let me copy off of him if there’s a test.

Regardless on being a little behind on my reading assignments, I have been practicing really hard.

Oh, what’s happening over there?

Spider & Cricket are off on a hunting expedition without me?

Sorry, my super hero duties will have to wait until later! I’ve got some hunting to do!

 

P.S. Super Heroes are a lot more SUPER when SOMEONE remembers to bring their SUPER CAPE to practice. Honestly. I would have made my hoop jump had I had my special cape!
