Out My Watching Window

I watched a bunch of American goldfinch today.

Happy Thanksgiving

Today, I got a new scratchy pad: my other pad was coming apart. I really love this new pad.

Oh that feels so good

Ripley loves his scratchy pad.

New toy

Ripley is getting tired of some of his toys. This morning I rolled an emply oats container on the floor, and Ripley attacked it. Actually, he's still young enough to play with just about anything that moves.

"Safe place"

If a cat puts something in its water bowl, that means that the cat feels it is a safe place to store its food. Ripley placed his fake mousie in his water bowl for the first time 11-24-08. He must feel completely safe and comfortable now in his new home!

Found a cool new website that blends words: www.

Cuddles

I am learning the art of cuddling after dinner. We all retire to the bedroom and "spoon" while watching Keith Oberman, or whatever his name is. I have heard that the last house cat, Noodles, who lived her 18+ years really knew how to after-dinner cuddle. I do not hear reference to him, Noodles, as much as when I first came here…I think this is a good thing.

My nicknames are Ripley Guy, and Ripley Dude. I like how Mike says Ripley Guy; it makes me smile all over.
