Scott decided to lead the charge yesterday and invited the animals to join him in a midday nap. Never the ones to say no, both Fyero and Sock retired to their chosen spots and settled in for a nap in the sun.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Like anywhere else, we have lots of acronyms we use at work. One of them is ADM. It stands for Automatic Defense Mechanism - which decoded means CAUTION - WILL ATTACK! This is most useful information to have before interacting with a cat (or any other animal that comes to the vet). We make alerts in patients' files such as "vaccine reactions - pre medicate", "diabetic", "deaf", "Owner can't give pills", "turns quickly - examine first, then talk", "diarrhea on Clavamox", "no jug sticks", "name pronounced...", "refer to the cat as a female - daughter thinks he's (the cat) a girl", "don't put client in room 2 - her other cat was euthanized there" and "ADM". We all appreciate being made aware that a cat may lash out but every once in a while it's better not to know. Hudson is a case in point. His patient file, and his cage cards when he's boarding, say he is ADM. I somehow neglected to see the ADM warning the first time I met him several years ago and so approached him as if all was normal. His owner looked away and the vet held her breath when I reached down to lift Hudson out of his carrier. Nothing happened and Hudson and I have been great buddies ever since. He comes in to board fairly frequently and I think we both look forward to the visits... well, at least I do!
I probably shouldn't tell you about the ADM-C code. Oh well... now that I've gone this far I'll just tell you that C stands for Client. :)
BTW, since Hudson always looks so serious, I tried to lighten the mood for this picture by putting lots of toys in his cage. I'm not sure he appreciates the humor.
Our three gray cats, arranged (from top to bottom) in order of their age: Bonkers (at top) is 18 1/2, Argent (in the middle) is almost 17, and Yuba (at the bottom) is almost 11.
No, this Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis) has not swallowed a long throatpick! I just couldn't resist the opportunity to capture this optical illusion....
I got up to get something to drink from the kitchen, and came back to find Tinker in my chair. Tinker is a cat my wife and I adopted earlier this year.
Fyero lost in thought, plotting if she can convince Scott to let her outside so she can roll around and collect all the dirt to drag into the house.
Luckily for me, her plotting put her in a decent spot for a quick shot. Good thing since I hadn't touched the camera all day.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

After facing reality and surviving the first day back to work after 5 days away, Fyero was anxious to get outside and chase (but not catch) some squirrels.
I didn't get too many photos today, and this was the only one I sort of liked so it's my photo of the day.
If only work involved walking the trails every day; it's always so difficult to go back into an urban jungle after spending days out in the woods.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

There first snow..sitting in the barn window looking out. They just came from there cozy and warm garage and not to sure about the white stuff. Check out the other photo's.
a commemorative portrait of my nieces cat. This one took a couple of months ; Initially I worked this as a drawing , using graphite , prisma and water color pencils . eventually I was painting on it.. so truly a mixed media piece ..
Generally, if you have a camera in hand people tend to pay a lot of attention to you; worried you'll aim it in their general direction.
One of the joys and at the same time one of the frustrations with animals is that they generally don't care if you have a camera in hand. They're going to go about whatever they were doing whether of not this bulky object is pointed at them.
Then there's Fyero, who will go out of her way to make sure that whatever you were hoping for doesn't happen. Once in a while it works in the photographers favour, but generally, she wins the battle.
Moody model. :)
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Scott, Sock and Fyero all enjoying the simple view of our backyard after dinner this evening.
I was just finishing up with the dishes and getting the garbage ready to go out when I notice the two fur babies sitting by the door, I grabbed my camera to snap a quick shot and who should come around the corner but Scott.
Of course he decided to jump in and that's how I ended up with another shot of this trio. At least they're awake this time.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Fyero was not impressed with Scott's attempt at cuddles this afternoon.
She made no attempt to hide her feelings, he however was elated to have a moment with kitty.
It didn't last long but it did make for a good photo, so win win!
Hope everyone has had a good day.
