Breakfast

We treated ourselves to breakfast at Cracker Barrel this morning. But now before the colony and Alex received their breakfasts.

Lake Tracks

We had a small amount of snow last night and the cats were all away at breakfast time, though they came back soon after the food went out. It's very unusual for them to be away so early, but they are quite intent on making lots of tracks through the new snow. I guess they are getting the "lay of the land" again.

This picture shows cat tracks out on the lake, which is now frozen. Hope those cats remember that there is water under the ice.

Breakfast Lineup

How's this for a Valentine's Day greeting? It's Sunday and the cats had to wait until after the 8 AM church service for breakfast to be served. Even Mama Cat was waiting, but a bit off to the side.

Kittens Have Names

We've settled on names for the two gray kittens. The female is Pepper. The male is Rollo. Pepper has white feet, and is on the right. Rollo (all gray) has his back to us.

It's about time. The gray kittens are almost full grown.

Cozy Condo

Last night the temperature dipped to 5 degrees. Last evening the remote temperature in one condo was 20 degrees. All the cats but Mama Cat crowded into that condos. At 5:30 am this morning the remote thermometer said the temperature in that condo was 62 degrees.

I wonder if any of the cats had to get up during the night and make a trip to the back yard potty. The necessary unwinding would have been a sight to see.

Mama Cat is still "Mad"

Mama Cat seems to be making a habit of coming early for breakfast with the rest of the colony. She still goes off at night to sleep by herself, though. She does not seem to be over her "Mad", because she hisses and lashes out at any of the cats who come close to her dish and then leaves as soon as she is finished eating. She prefers to drink from the heated bird bath instead of the heated dish we set out for the colony.

Guess Who Came For Breakfast?

Today is the first morning since her surgery (over a month ago) that Mama Cat was waiting for breakfast with all of her kittens. Perhaps she is over her "MAD". We're really hoping so.
