January’s Critter Update

Here’s LJ our stately elderly, wild eyed cat. Surveying what is going on in the house.

And Lizzie, our plump little lady, has finally learned that the fire feels good. Took her a while. She’s still kind of confused. We don’t typically have the fire during the day but she goes and lays down in front of the fireplace with a look of not understanding why it’s not warm.

Here she is warming up her other side.

And LJ and Lizzie, cheek to cheek so to speak.

And here is a Lizzie Portrait
And poor Abby, she started licking her paws for some reason. Morning, noon, and night. We couldn’t figure it out, took her to the vet and they couldn’t figure it out either. We got her an inflatable cone of shame. I put it on her and she flopped over on her side for a few minutes, I guess out of shame. We kept it on her for a few days and took it off and no more paw licking.

My new trailcam, still messing with it. I have it set so that when it trips it takes a still photo and ten seconds of video. I ended up with hundreds of little videos. Wading through all of them is drudgery.

Most of them were of starlings fighting each other at the suit feeder. I got tired of that really quick.

So I’m still trying to figure it out. I think I’m going to do mainly photos. Lots faster to go through.

That’s about all on our animal front these days.

I’m linking with Eileen’s Saturday’s Critters. Go check it out!

    Adorable photos of LJ and Lizzie and Abby. It is hard finding the reason for the constant licking, one vet told us one time it could be from being bored. Love the bird cam video and photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

    I love LJ’s black nose and spot of black on her paw!

    I like sitting by fires when it’s cold, and it’s supposed to be 35° which is a lot better than the 29° we had a few days ago!

    “And LJ and Lizzie, cheek to cheek” LOL!

    Lizza looks like my cat Jaspurr.

    Poor Abby, glad isn’t licking her paws anymore.

    That’s a pretty bird!

    I had a trail cam that clicked the shutter every time the wind blew a branch around. I got so I could flip through the images as if they were a video. It was almost mesmerizing.

    Well, thank goodness Abby stopped the paw licking. Our Golden had allergies and had itchy paws which she licked anytime she thought I wasn’t looking. Poor thing – I would wake in the night hearing her licking and have to tell her “stop”. I had to smile at the cheek to cheek photo.

    You have great critters who are very lovable. Seems to me that Rascal has been overlooked even though he’s the favorite one.
