It's Friday...

And Bumpy, Mimi and Cocoa would like to know what you think you're doing.

National Pet Day 2022

Today is, apparently, National Pet Day. So here are photos of the current cats at La Casa de Mama: Cocoa, Bumpy and Mimi.

A rare moment of peace in the household. Trust me--they don't group like this very often, or for very long.

Here's a rare shot (from left to right): Mimi, Moose, Cocoa and Bumpy, all at the same window at the same time without fighting. Must have been birds in the tree out front that day.

This? Is not a photo of Olivia.

This? Is Cocoa, another one of Mom's cats.

She's pretty young--most likely between two and three years old--and is the closest to feral of all of Mom's cats.

She was tricked into coming into the house (with the offer of food as the lure) and had to be kept from running back out into the yard (which she managed to do a couple of times anyway, only to be lured back into the house later with the promise of food--stupid cat).

She's very skittish--will not be picked up or held, nor will she sit in your lap or come when called.

She will, however, sit on the back of the couch and allow herself to be petted. Her fur is, as you'd imagine, very soft.

And? She's absolutely devoted to Moose, for some reason. He seems indifferent to her attentions at best (and hostile at worst), yet she cuddles up with him whenever possible. They can often be found together in the cardboard box just outside the bathroom.
