This week, we re-visit this week 2013.
The Autumn Joy Sedums were blooming. They are starting to fade these days but I have clippings that are growing roots in water, so they will start again next year. Those are zinnias behind them I think. Those are gone.
Marley was watching a mousie hole under a rock near the pond. It was a good mousie place. They had water from the pond, seeds from the flowerbed , and shelter under the rocks. But Marley figured that out too.
Iza preferred hunting in other ways. Marley would wait patiently, she stalked.
She would feel around in any hole.
Sometimes, she would grab one. Mouisies are kinna dumb. They tend to follow things like flowerbed edging and Iza learned about that. Ayla also caught many. But she would slip into the underbrush and catch them away from their holes.
Three systems and all equally successful. None of them were taught (each grew up as an "inside kitten") and none did it being taught be the other Mews.
It was also one of those days when the canned food arrived. I kept (and keep) them on a pantry shelf, but I always set them on the dining table to alternate flavors and textures. Poultry, seafood, beef; pate and morsels. I don't know for sure if The Mews really care. But variety matters to me, so I do it for them.
Marley was only 3 and Ayla was 6, but look at the difference in size! And Marley has gotten bigger since then!
