Paquito napping in the street

I went looking for Paquito after he failed to come to eat his breakfast. Looked in his usual hiding places then I thought...No, he wouldn't be...sure enough with all the land my mother's house sits on he was asleep by the street side of the fence!

By the time my silly cellphone turned on, he was awake...

It worries me when he does this as there are a lot of stray dogs in the county and when he falls asleep...he drifts into a deep slumber and they could attack him.

Yesterday they ran what was supposed to be a feel-good story in the evening news.  It was about an animal shelter in Florida that had adopted out all of the dogs and cats in its care.  If anything it saddened me as so many people have lost their jobs and unfortunately, many more will continue to do so and when that happens people will barely be able to afford food for themselves and their family and these poor animals will once again be homeless, hungry and roaming the streets.

The boys and Katie have been enjoying the wonderful temperatures and sunning themselves...though for some reason I can not find the pictures of the other cats...will post them at another time :-(

Thank you for reading Walter's World.

Elvis has declared Eminent Domain

We have been having a lot of rain lately and it has been cold. Since Elvis decided to declare Eminent Domain over the other cats' cuchas along with the inside of the trash can I was not worried about him.

I opened the front door to see how much rain was falling when I saw a wet and shivering Elvis but had to close the door on him as I do not want him inside the house. Why was he out in the rain when he has where to ride it out?

The boys, on the other hand, do not. They won't even go near their former cuchas...heck they won't even go near Elvis. In some ways, I feel sorry for him as he is constantly being shunned. Only Katie, if she is hungry, will forget she dislikes him and goes to eat out of his bowl.  Sometimes he attacks her other times he lets her. This afternoon they had a minor encounter but neither one hurt one another.

Last night I let Paquito and Nico sleep in the mudroom.  I tried to get Katie to come in but she wouldn't do it. Would you believe Elvis was whining by the side door wanting to be let in?

Paquito and a fat Nico :-)

Thanks for visiting Walter's World.
