I did not get the full June Moon because of overcast skies.
The perils of irrigating.
Speaking of the perils of irrigating, I also flushed out a porcupine. When he saw us, he turned around, waded back into the water, and climbed the apple tree.
Silver also had a few things to say to me.
Off Center & Not Even 
Tim, love the sunset, of course! And your chat with Silver sounded as if he knew what you were saying. Smart & cute! Enjoy your interactions with the wild life! You live in a very special place. 😊🎶
Thanks, Christine.
Beautiful skies.
Thanks, Becky.
The video of the gopher was incredible.
That dude was not backing down. The full video is over three minutes. Thanks, Susan.
Friday night hijinks with the “family”!
Thanks, Brad.
hahaha; I enjoyed the videos: the cat sure is cute; that last photo is a ripper !!
Silver knows how to be cute. Thanks, John.
I reckon she’s holding out for a shot at stardom 🙂
He wants a lot of attention and to be top cat. He’s number two cat right now and he thinks that’s crap.
lol
Awwww, Silver is so sweet! Isn’t it nice, Silver, having a friend who gets it?! That gopher stands his ground!
Happy Saturday!
That gopher was a little beast. Silver knows how to put on the cute. Thanks, Marina.
That porcupine had no taste.
Thanks, Shey.
Simply wonderful!
Thanks, Luisa.
You’re most welcome 🙏
A beautiful selection of photos and videos, Tim! A slice of life on the Price Ranch. We had good moon viewing up here, and hopefully will again tonight.
Some set of teeth on that gopher! I loved Silver speaking Cattinese with you! 🙂
Cattinese. I love it. That gopher was a real tough guy with those teeth. It started raining last night, and we still had light rain this morning. Only about a 1/4 inch so far, but we are happy with any rain in June.
I can’t claim Cattinese. That is from Doug Thomas over on Weggie Boy’s Blog. He speaks Cattinese with his Persian kitty Andy.
Silver has a lovely voice. It always amazes me how each cat’s meow is so distinct
They are distinct. That’s one way we tell G&G apart. Thanks, Angela.
Silver is fabulous. The poor flooded animals.
The wet ones recover quickly. Thanks, Gigi.
Fun post. Love all the animals and owls and CATS. 😍
We have quite a menagerie between cats and wild critters.
I had that a long time ago, now I’m watching your sweet ones.
Yikes! Tim, that gopher has some big teeth and could take a big bite out of your shins. Daphne very much enjoyed his video though.
When I played the one of Silver, Velma hurried up to join Daphne, and they both kissed the computer screen to comfort Silver. 🐱 Hugs from the Scoobies and me.
Awww! How cute. I just told Silver. He appreciates the feline support. That gopher was something else. Size didn’t matter to him. He was determined to kick my butt or at least bite me on the old shin bone. Thanks, Teagan.
Thank you for making me laugh Tim. “Angry Gopher” played by Angry Gopher…..
He was a bit intimidating…wondering how you managed to ditch him?
Loved this post (love Silver xoxoxo)
Thanks, Silvia. I’m happy you got a laugh out of it. We need more laughter in this world.
I wouldn’t want to run afoul of a gopher. Those front teeth could inflict some serious damage. We had a porcupine sighting a couple of days ago. There were two of them up a tree in our yard. Silver’s head tilt is irresistible!
Porcupines are very large rodents. The way Silve cocks his head when he’s trying to get attention is irresistible. I always have to stop what I’m doing and let him sit on my lap for a few minutes. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Some great shots and a tale to boot. Comments got me drifting back to Cyril and Lady with the distinctive sounds. Cheers!
Thanks, Inchie.
That gopher does not look pleased. Mine just runs away, then peeks from behind the hedge, hoping I’ll leave.
Love your conversation with Silver 🙂
You have nice gophers. Thanks, Dale.
OMG!
Silver is so eloquent. Best talking cat video, ever!
Love it! xx
Isn’t he adorable how he cocks his head? Thanks, Resa.
A real lover! Silver is a winner! (don’t tell Spunkie-Poo 💋)
Oh.. the gopher kinda broke my heart!
He was a mean old Grinchy gopher, but he lived to tell his grandgophers about beating the crap out of a giant pesky paparazzo. Most people would have killed it. I simply did a video of him trying to kick my butt. Thanks, Resa.
LOL!!!!!
I could never kill a gopher. I have a hard time killing insects.
I will slap a mosquito that’s trying to suck my blood. They don’t bother me too much. I either have boring blood, or they think I stink. Now, when people from town come to visit, the skeeters have a feast day. We’ll be thinking the mosquitoes aren’t too bad, and then a million come out of nowhere to attack our guests. I let the spiders get the flies.
Interesting! Mosquitoes don’t like me either!
We both stink. Here’s to deep stinking!
Lol!
Cheers!
During the Covid restrictions, I found it came in handy for social distancing.
I still find it useful for social distancing.
🤣
Wow, that gopher is seriously pissed!! Oddly enough, I have NEVER seen a porocupine in the wild. On my list of things to tin sometime, but no luck so far – even went to the Porcupine Mountains up in Michigan… guess what I didn’t see .. a porcupine.. I think the Ojibwa were smoking something when they named that. Kitty deserves some attention!
Maybe the gopher also gave Silver a run for her money… lol He was a brave one to fight the big paparazzo❣️
The gopher was a tough one. Thanks, Cindy.
He sure was… shoulda sic’d cats on him. 🙀
Before I wired in the deck and the cats could go outside, Silver would catch gophers and bring them into the house. We came home one night and noticed the cats in a circle in the darkness. I turned on the lights, and there was one gopher holding his own against seven cats. I gathered up the gopher and put him outside.
Omg that’s wild!!! Some eaters they are… lol 😆
