Perfect perch to peruse the particulars of the day :)

He’s on the job, no doubt about it. (Though probably looking for birds. 😊)
Best wishes, Pete.

Last day with kiddos for this school year, sleeping late, daughter’s second day of work, talking to her as she drives to work, smiling and laughing and planning. Sometimes you have to roll with it, even without a cat as a lookout. Thanks for the reminder and encouragement. Peace.

Frankie and I have been sleeping in lately. Our new days have been starting after 10 am… We’re “exhaustipated” …

He even loves storms and sits up there watching them like he’s in a crow’s nest on a pirate ship

We do resist change but eventually change will overcome that resistance and we accept new and fall into new patterns. I sleep whenever sleep comes and don’t force it. And three meals a day … how silly. I eat whatever and whenever I’m hungry.
I still sit and stare a lot. At the computer. Not changing that!!

Today we are rolling with a smoke-heavy sky here in southern Minnesota from the Canadian wildfires. It looks foggy. I want to throw open the windows given the cooler air temp, but can’t due to the smoke smell.
I love that pic of Pete the Cat.

oh, I was wondering, yes, that makes good sense. he always loves to see what’s going on in the early morning and also loves watching storms –

noooo, do not give him ideas. I may have to hide this in case he has learned to read. he does also watch storms from up there. in the morning if he senses any movement or sign of life he quickly abandons his post in favor of food. highly motivated that way

I’ll be careful with my future comments :)
Our dog is the same way, highly motivated/obsessed with food…

I love the photo of your cat welcoming the new day so peacefully. I had a cat who batted the wooden shutters open and closed on the window closest to my head until I got out of bed.

he loves to do this in the morning and also watches storms, but certainly listens carefully for any sign of life and feeding and quickly abandons his post!
