Mystery Kitty

Geese @ dawn

This kitty has been hanging around, fighting with our cats through the wire in the catio, for quite a while. The first time I saw this kitty several months ago, I was awakened by him fighting with Silver at 2:00 a.m. I stumbled out into the catio to see what was going on. I looked up to see this kitty looking down at me through the wire at the top of the catio. Seeing it in the darkness when I was half awake, it really looked like Spunk. I said, “Spunk! How did you get outside?” The kitty simply stared at me. I went back inside to put on shoes so I could go outside and collect Spunk, but there Spunk was on the bed.

Old Phones

Dawn

Did anyone have any of these old phones.

A staff member brought in a collection of old phones. My first mobile phone was a 1993 Motorola phone. It was big and heavy. Years later, I had a Motorola flip like the third phone from the left in the above photo (I still have that flip phone). I had a hand-me-down Android phone, but I didn’t like. My first iPhone was an iPhone 5 (I still have that iPhone). Now I have an iPhone 16. Laurie’s first mobile phone was a BlackBerry, then she had a hand-me-down Android, and then an iPhone 5. She now has an iPhone 16, also.

“I don’t need no stinking mobile phone!”

My first mobile phone was this model

How to type with nails

Someone left two bowls with a pack of Marlboro cigarettes in the bowls by the south door of the office over the weekend. It’s strange given that a pack of cigarettes is around $8.00 in Albuquerque.

Cat Tree Hugger

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr BOOM! “Whoa! I think I was just photo-bombed by Marble!”

Head banging to “Cat Scratch Fever!”

Spunk loves his cat tree

A poor, pathetic paparazzo, penny for your Spunky thoughts!

“I’ll give you cat scratch fever for your poor, pathetic paparazzo penny!”

Almost Sunset

We’ve received 1.55 inches of rain in July so far. A decent amount of rain in comparison to previous months and the past three July’s. The afternoon thunderstorms are a promising sign that we might have a monsoon season this year. Although we need a lot more rain. The river is running low, so we have not had irrigation water since the middle of June.
