Greetings, my friends! Things have been rather busy here as of late. I have been making some additions to the catio, adding a tall kitty condo which I have placed in front of the back window so that the cats may be able to enjoy the view outside. And, I have added a few more nice throw rugs as well ...
Last Friday morning while I was walking out the door to go to work, I was greeted by our favorite little neighbor cat, "Miss Fancy Pants" (hubby and I have nicknamed her "Trixie"). As usual, I opened the door and she walked right in. Apparently, once again, she had gotten away from our neighbor lady, her mommy Cindy, and she came to see us. We love her visits, although given the fact that we live very close to a major (and extremely busy!) highway we are naturally concerned about her safety. We kept her in the catio for the remainder of the weekend until her owner came to pick her up. At least we knew that she would not get hurt or stolen while we were at work all day.
Long story short, we drove her back home and Cindy told my hubby that she had to babysit for her grandson out of the area every other weekend and asked us if we would like to cat sit "Miss Fancy Pants" for her on the weekends that she was away. She also makes handmade catnip toys and generously sent five beautiful bags home with us for our fur babies ...
"Miss Fancy Pants" (aka "Trixie") is such a sweet little love! ...
Lady Tabitha approved of her new cat nip toy!
UPDATE TO THIS POST dated February 6, 2022:
Last Sunday, one of our neighbors stopped off at
our house to tell us some sad news. Fancy
Pants' mommy had passed away. It is uncertain
exactly what she passed away of, but the
neighbor had told my husband that she had
apparently been suffering from some kind of
stomach problem.
Rest in Peace, Cindy ... you will be greatly
missed!
