Bandit 
Rascal checking out the bird feeder.
l to r Rusty, Tigger, Smokey, Mom Rascal and Bandit. I'm out of relevant current photos at the moment. Figuring I need to get a little further afield and find something new and interesting to photograph so I don't keep showing to variations of the same thing. Anyway I went looking for something else to put on the blog and one of the first things I came to was the folder "Cats". The bottom picture is my mother cat Rascal with four of her kittens Bandit disappeared about the same time as Rascal's sister Scamp. something must have gotten them both. About that time Traveler the male showed up and decided to "mostly" stay, he would come and go to and from someplace, but finally decided to stay for good. They made a wonderful family and he probably was their father. So Rusty, Rascal and Traveler were the ones trapped and taken to Twila's. Smokey, my favorite, and Tigger are the ones Joe is feeding. Bandit was sooo darling with her little dark eye and ear patches and blue eyes. The photo of Bandit drinking is in the shed. Remember how I said Joe was giving the plumber friend fittings - those are some of them I'm sure. Hope he takes everything he could possibly use. It started off very cloudy today and eventually began to rain or spit snow which melted right away. At the moment we have blowing small hail dancing on the windows. Bonnie said that they had snow on the ground this morning before we had anything. Joe went to coffee with the dogs. Then used the pooper scooper in the back yard for a while. Bonnie called and came over to clean my oven. It is all sparkling clean now. THANK YOU BONNIE! You are so kind and gracious to help me. It was in bad shape. We didn't plan well enough, so it would have been better to have sprayed the cleaner in there last night. She really had a tough scrubbing job. But its done now. After Bonnie left I took the dogs for a short walk. Sparky will run at Raven and try to bowl her over. He really got her good once and she went rolling. She's not a puppy anymore and he has to quit that. Trying to be dominant over her.
