Putting on weight or pregnant?

I suppose all of Katie's kittens have been adopted since they are no longer around and she spends most of her time here with the boys.

I can tell that they all have been putting on weight though my concern for Katie is that she is not gaining weight but might be pregnant :-(

I will keep positive thoughts in mind and hopefully, that is NOT the case.

Paquito has gone back to being a bully and keeps on pestering and running Sonny off.

Fat Paquito / Deer Encounters

No kitten sighting in quite some time.  Their mother Katie has been hanging out with the boys during the day.  Paquito has been putting on weight he eats a lot and sleeps all day just not when I want him to like when I go for my morning walk.

I did not go for my morning walk today as I had to run errands in town but this afternoon I did but only for 30 minutes because it was getting dark.

Twice this past week when I have been coming home the back way I have had encounters with deer. With these summer-like temperatures, I forget that deer are active in the fall.  Glad I was paying attention would hate to wreck my vehicle and not be able to go to the Chili Cook-off!!!

Cat Food / Pooping doves

I bought two bags of cat food on Tuesday when I went to Tractor & Supply.  I like that store since the employees will take my purchases and place them in my car.  I have a bad back and can not lift a lot of weight without throwing my back out.

Unfortunately, it was very hot so I left them in my car and did not open them until late this afternoon...well at least one of them...the 44 lbs one.  Like I previously mentioned I have a bad back so I cut it open and then used my 2.5-gallon bucket to bring the cat food into the house where I store it in 5-gallon buckets.

I washed my car on Tuesday but we have had a lot of wind lately and those darn doves that hang out in the garage/carport pooped all over it.  That is the main reason I do not mind if the boys eat them as snacks!

The boys as well as the horses welcomed the change in temperatures

Even the boys seemed to have welcomed the change in temperatures.  I saw them more active and not going to bed as soon as they had their breakfast.  Even the horses seemed more energetic.

However, that does not always work out for the best.  Saw Nico climbing down a tree with something in his mouth.  I knew right then and there that it was NOT a rat but a little bird.  I have no idea why he does this when he had just finished eating :-(

Katie has been coming daily to eat with them but I have not seen her kittens in a long time, in particular, Precious.  He/She is so cute but Sonny constantly bullies him/her and runs it off.

New Alarm Clock?

I woke up early this morning to a sore back, arms and a pain in my knee.  I suppose I overdid the yard work yesterday.  Decided right then and there that I would NOT be going for my morning walk, turned around and went back to sleep.

At exactly 7:00 a.m. Paquito started whining loudly by my bedroom window sill and kept at it for at least three minutes that seemed endless. I yelled at him to be quiet (using more forceful vocabulary) and he finally obliged or got tired of being ignored.

Fell into blissful slumber when he started whining again at 9:10 a.m.  I had no choice but to get up and feed him as well as my other boys.  When I was at Walmart the other day I bought a rotisserie chicken for our dinner.  Removed the skin, the dark and burnt parts, our leftovers and fed it to them today...they love it!!!

I need to go buy some more cat food soon!

A sleepy Paquito / Dead Rat

I woke up early today, I got dressed in order to go for my morning walk as soon as daylight broke.  I had forgotten that I had brought the trash can to the front of the house as I have been raking leaves and did not want to drag the leaf bags to where the trash is usually located.

Of course, Paquito like most cats likes to perch on higher ground and he found the trash can.  He was still asleep as I tried to quietly go out the door.  I apologize for the poor picture quality but it was a quick snap as I was hoping to head to the gate undetected.

However, that was not to be and he followed me down the street crying as usual.  Scooped him up and brought him back home.  Proceeded to get his cat food and feed him, Nico, and Sonny.  As they ate I made my exit without being detected.

As I made my first walkabout I spotted something on the trail.  Yuck...it was a dead rat!  It looked to have been recently killed as there were no ants, flies or other critters trying to eat it.

It did not take long for Frank to make an appearance though I have no idea if it was him that killed it or the other cats that hang around there.

The past two days it has been cloudy during my walks...NOT this morning...the sun rays were beating down on me so I cut my walk short and limited it to an hour.

Morning walk milestone / Frank / Cat Saying of the Day

With the sun rising later my morning walks do not start until seven-thirty or shortly thereafter Paquito permitting.  He was not permitting today but I ignored him and left him whining by the front gate.

I was into several laps when Frank made his presence.  I had not seen him in a couple of days.  He seemed to be interested in sniffing this morning...

He looked a little bit more beefed up than before.  I wish my boys looked as good as he does.

This morning I set a personal record...I was able to walk for 1 hour and 30 minutes...as it was cloudy and I did not have the sun rays beating down on me.

Thank you for visiting Walter's World.

Blanca, Nico gone for two days, a sad Sonny

It had been over two weeks perhaps even more since Blanca had made an appearance.  I had almost written her off...if she has not come around it is because she has found a place to call home...that is a good thing.

Nico went missing for two days. When I go for my walks I often see him coming from the next street over.  I kept on calling out his name when I finally saw him jump the fence into our yard by way of the corral.

He did not seem very hungry for being gone for two days so I suppose he too found a second home.  At least if we have to go out of town for a few days I won't have to worry about him.

Here is Sonny, he was sad as he and Nico are close and I suppose he missed him too.
