Photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She’s sitting upright where the edge of the wood first floor landing meets the stairs leading to the ground floor. Her head is turned in my direction as I take the photo. It appears she’s guarding the stairs and charging a petting tax before you’re allowed to pass by her.

Rowan is “edge” watching this #Caturday. She must be petted, before anyone is allowed to descend.😸

A close up photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She was siting upright on my lap at the time. I wanted to take a Whiskers Wednesday photo of her but just as I pressed the button, she moved her head a bit to her right side and moved closer to the lens. The result was a very close picture of her face, slightly out of focus, one ear and all her whiskers cropped from the frame,

It might be Good Friday, but it’s also #FlashbackFriday, because I didn’t post this #ThrowbackThursday photo yestereday🤣. It’s from 2019 and shows you what an IN YOUR FACE! kind of kitty Rowan was, even back then.

Hoppy Easter, Everyone!🐣🗿🐰

A close up photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s lying across my lap as I recline on the couch. He’s looking towards the phone camera lens. I’ve zoomed in so only his head, shoulder and front legs are visible.

D’Artagnan all set for his #WhiskersWednesday photo op.

A close up photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She’s lying in cat loaf pose on the wood floor near our dining table. Her head is turned away from the camera lens to her right. There is a far away look in her eyes. Definitely not playing to the camera.

As Rowan loafs around today, her thoughts appear to be somewhere else. Obviously not on #TongueOutTuesday, that’s for sure.😄

Close up photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s in the middle bin bed of the cat tree we placed by the first floor living room window. I’ve taken this photo from the side close to the window frame. All you can see is his head. His chin is resting on the bin bed frame edge and his eyes are focused on what’s happening outside. He’s very interested in the birds that are at the front yard feeder.

D’Artagnan is relaxing and bird watching.

Photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She’s lying across my wife’s lap. Her right lip is caught on one of her fangs, so it looks like she’s sneering. Rowan usually sits on my lap while I have my morning coffee, but she got impatient today and chose to sit on my wife’s. My wife’s arms and hands are visible in the picture . She is holding her phone and scrolling. In the background are some snow globes from my wife’s collection.

Rowan is explaining, that I wasn’t in my usual spot, so she took whatever lap was available.😼

Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s lying flat on the light brown couch seat cushion, with his front and rear legs out and relaxed. His head is resting on the cushion, eyes staring straight ahead and he’s not moving. A sure sign he’s been rubbing on one of his cat nip toys and it’s taken effect.

D’Artagnan is totally flat out relaxed this #Caturday . I think he got into a bit of cat nip.

Photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She is crouched on the wood floor of our first floor living room area. We have a twenty five centimetre (ten inch) silicon circular blue feeder that is divided by raised wave shaped walls, that form cavities. The cats have to extract wet, or dry kibble food from the cavities using their paws/claws to flip the food out, or force the silicon walls apart with their muzzle to get at the food. Rowan is feeding from it very rigorously, because her favourite fish flavoured kibble has been added to it. In the background on the floor is a wood newspaper caddy and wood stairs leading down to our front door.

Rowan didn’t want to join me at the table for breakfast. There was some really good kibble in her feeder. 🐟🐠

Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s only a few months old in September 2013. We had some of his toys in the laundry/bathroom on our ground floor. In this photo he’s crouched upright on the green, yellow and grey vinyl tile patterned floor. He’s playing with a wooden turtle shaped ball track toy. He’s facing away from me. At this young age his fur has many black spots around his shoulders and back and some of his spots are so close together they are forming stripes. As a senior cat he still has spots on his belly and a few on his legs, but overall mostly stripes. Beside him in the photo is a shower stall a pink ball and on the other side of the turtle is a brown cat bed with a yellow play mouse in it.

It’s #ThrowbackThursday and in 2013 D’Artagnan had just about as many spots, as stripes.

Close up photo of Rowan the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She jumped onto my lap while I was eating breakfast. Her head is peaking out from under the table top, looking to see what I have and maybe wondering if she can have some. Her whiskers are very prominently displayed.

Rowan needed a closer look at what I had for breakfast, on #WhiskersWednesday.

Close up photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat and Rowan the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. They’re cuddled together in the middle bed of the ground floor cat tree. D’Artagnan as usual is taking up most to the space. His head is tucked in close to the main tree post. You can’t see his eyes. Rowan is just barely opening her eyes as I disturbed her sleep when I walked up to take the photo. I surmise from this that Rowan wasn’t in a very deep sleep, so must be almost ready to get up. D’Artagnan's eyes are hidden and he never moved, so I’m guessing he’ll sleep for a while yet.

#TopUpTuesdays are an excuse for a recharge. Rowan is at about 97%. Her eyes are just opening. D’Artagnan is probably at 50%. Hard to tell, his charge indicators are hidden.

Photo from above of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. The sun’s shining today and D’Artagnan is lying upright with his front legs stretched out to catch the most sunlight coming through our east facing ground floor window. His head is turned to his right and eye’s are closed in pleasure. I used the term “stretch” in the description as a pun indicating how he’s stretched out and “long” because it makes him look so long. You can make up your mind if it’s funny, but I thought it was.

It’s been a stretch, since D’Artagnan’s been in the sun. He’s been longing for the opportunity.😂

Close up photo of Rowan the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She’s lying in the bin shaped bed of the cat tree located at our first floor window overlooking the front yard. She’s resting her chin on the edge of the bed looking towards the inside of the room instead of out the window. I don’t know why. There were birds outside at the feeder and people walking their dogs on the sidewalk.

Rowan is more interested in what’s happening inside than out.

Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s lying upright in the middle bed of the ground floor cat tree. He’s looking at me as I take the photo. I hope he settles in for a nap. This was just after he was zooming around, chasing Rowan, and jumping on counters. He managed to put the spring in spring.

It looks like D’Artagnan is about to take advantage of #Caturday and settle in for a rest from his morning antics.

Photo of Rowan from yesterday, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She’s lying all comfy leaning to her right, in the middle bed of the ground floor cat tree. Her head is resting on the carpeted bed rail as a pillow and her eyes are shut in slumber!

Rowan has decided she’ll give Spring a pass, but hopes everyone else enjoys it.

Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s crouched on the floor of our dining area. There is a Safeway grocery bag on the floor with its opening facing D’Artagnan. Behind the bag there is a box with an access hole, which is placed between the pantry cabinet and the newel post/railing for the stairway leading to the ground floor. The bag opening has collapsed almost shut. D’Arrtagnan appears to be checking if the opening in the bag is big enough to let him in. In the foreground of the photo, a portion of a large purple hula hoop, is visible. Our daughter was training the cats to jump through it.

It’s #ThrowbackThursday from November 2013. D’Artagnan wasn’t exactly sure that’s the “Safeway”, to get to the box.

Photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She was sitting by the scratching post and I got all lined up for a picture for whiskers Wednesday. Just as I pushed the button she got up and walked towards the phone to brush up against it. She then wandered away and wouldn’t let me get close again. Her face is slightly out of focus and her whiskers are blurred. It captures her just before she brushes against my phone. Her left front leg is placed forward on the carpet as she steps toward me. The cardboard scratching post can be seen on her left.

Rowan wouldn’t sit still for a #WhiskersWednesday photo and D’Artagnan was nowhere to be seen. 😄

Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s crouched on top of the black foot stool, which is placed next to the stairway leading from the ground floor up to the first floor. I strategically placed a three leaf clover Shamrock sticker next to his whiskers on the right side of his face. With his head turned slightly towards the sticker it looks a little like he’s face marking it to point it out to people.

D’Artagnan crouched next to the Shamrock, so he could wish everyone Happy St. Patrick’s Day! He didn’t think sticking his tongue out would be polite.😸

Photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She’s lying in cat loaf pose in the middle bed of our ground floor cat tree. She’s looking out towards the living room with her head and eyes turned to the side. Her eye lids are partially closed, so I think she was settling in for a Monday morning nap.

Rowan was hoping she wouldn’t to be disturbed this Monday morning.

Photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s crouched on the dining area floor. His eyes are slightly down cast and his ears are tweaked. It looks like he can’t make up his mind about something.

D’Artagnan is looking thoughtful. Probably wondering when he’s getting his Sunday treats.

Photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She’s lying in cat loaf pose across a black footstool, which was placed against the side of the stairway leading up to the first floor. Her head is level with the bars of the stair railing. She’s looking sideways towards the camera and her tail is draped down off the edge of the stool.

Rowan is lounging on the foot stool and wishing everyone a Happy #Caturday!

This picture was taken from above in twenty twenty two, of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat and D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. They’re on top of a large upside down box we placed at the front window which overlooks a snow covered front yard. D’Artagnan is crouched upright laser focused on a cotton tail rabbit that is eating seeds that were thrown out of our bird feeder and whatever grass is peeking through the snow. Rowan is lying on her side, beside D’Artagnan, facing into the living room. She’s not interested in what’s happening outside.

On #ThrowbackThursday there was a time before the cat tree, that our kitties had to make do with a box.

Close up photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She’s in cat loaf pose on the top floor landing. She is looking wide eyed and directly into the camera. Her head is slightly tilted to one side, giving what I perceive as a knowing look.

Rowan knows it’s #WhiskersWednesday, so is presenting this #Catloaf for your enjoyment.

A close up photo of D’Artagnan, the short hair grey with white chin and black stripes tabby cat. He’s lying upright with his front legs and paws forward on the paisley padded wood bench located by our back patio door. He’s in partial sunlight coming in from the back window, so it’s quite warm there. His head is turned to his left. He was quite rambunctious this morning and finally calmed down, so I placed him on the bench hoping he’d stay and enjoy the sun for a bit. Lasted about five minutes and he was off again.

D’Artagnan was zooming around this morning, so I decided to bench him on #TimeOutTuesday.

They’re snugged together on the top floor landing against the railing and beside a paper shredder. I think they’re acclimating themselves to the time change by sleeping through the extra hour.

Photo of Rowan, the medium long hair grey, brown and white with black stripes torbie cat. She is lying on her left side on the carpeted floor outside our computer/hobby room. Her front quarters and head are upright and she is avoiding eye contact with the camera. She is a bit angry that I caught her rummaging around in the hobby portion of the room and removed. I have model paints and brushes on a table and she jumped on it and pushed a few off. Luckily I wasn’t using them and all the paint lids were closed.

I had to evict Rowan from the computer/hobby room this morning. Afterwards he flopped on the floor and gave me the look.
