Happy 4th of July. Today is Glenda’s and Gwendolyn’s birthday. They are two years old.
Glenda
Happy 4rth of July. This is as close to getting fireworks as I’m going to get tonight.
The moon manage to shine through the cloud cover last night. No moon tonight.
Sasha giving me the eye.
Cat tree that is. We got a new cat tree for the deck. Tristan and Craig put it together for the kitties this afternoon. Sasha was the first to try it, loved it, and made cuter and cuter poses on it.
It wasn’t long before we ended up with a Cat 5 on the new cat tree.

Mary and Paul are still on the big cottonwood. I think Paul is waiting for Mary to get where she can make the flight across the ditch.

All three owlets were out of the nest this morning. The youngest owlet is closest to the camera.

I posted Content Like A Cat, which is the first original song JYP and I collaborated on. Happy As A Cat is an extended version of Content Like A Cat. I split the chorus with a couple of verses I wrote and added new music.
Happy As A Cat
By JYP and Timothy Price
They don’t need
the new hot thing
Cats find their joy
batting a piece of string
To enjoy meals,
cuddles, treats, and snacks.
To have no worries
“I’m late for my nap!”
chorus
To be as happy and content as a cat
That is our life’s goal
To be as happy and content as a cat
In the dirt, we’ll roll
They sleep all-day
Play all night
They love their boxes
They love their toys
Purring and furring
Stuff they bat away
All those simple things
Give them joy so many ways
chorus
To be as happy and content as a cat
We’d scratch on a pole
To be as happy and content as a cat
Fulfills us, makes us whole
They don’t need cars,
fancy clothes or yachts
Oh, to be as happy
as a cat in a box!

Gwendolyn snuggled up with me on a cold morning
I walked out to the car to go to work yesterday morning, and the bunny was hanging out behind my car. When I got closer to the car I saw bunny prints on the side of the car. The bunny, who I assume must be getting worked up for Easter, was bouncing off the side of my car. Bratty bunny!
Spunk
“Oh to be as happy as a cat in a box!” Sasha and Marble (happy on a bag).
Continuing with the collaboration* between JYP and the AWB, Content Like a Cat is our first original song. JYP wrote the lyrics, I wrote the music, played, and recorded the song.

To be as happy and content as a cat

The cats approve this song.

Buddy knows how to be content like a cat, also.

Sasha is “as happy as a cat in a box!”
And so is Loki!

Love Cats

Gwendolyn looking vampire-like.
Laurie picked catnip for the kitties while she was out for one of her hourly step goals. Gwendolyn was like a kitty demon eating her sprig of catnip.
Yin-yang Kitties
Curled up in a ball
Cold winter morning
Hoarfrost at the door
Purring in harmony
Dreams of catching birds
Lizards chased around the house
Leaping on a big fat mouse
Unlucky in the hunt
Wake to get a bite
Same old kitty food
Mouse Mousse would be alright
