Badgers are dangerous, and so is Badger Basket furniture. As you can see from the warning label below, failing to follow the badger warnings can result in serious injury or death. Just like with warnings from live badgers. Fortunately, Spunk, Sasha, Lola and I survived assembling the Badger Baskets.





We’ve had rain on and off all day long. Most of the kitties have been lounging on the bed most of the day, while Marble and Sasha have spent most of the day on the counter enjoying the warmth from the radiator we have under the count to keep us warm while we work at the counter. There were a few times Marble and Sasha would lick one another for a few seconds and then bat at each other in a short sparing match before settling back in. I got a short video of one of there Lick-n-Bat Kitty Spats:




Laurie saw this cute Western Hognose Snake in the bedroom, and called me in to catch it. I presume Sasha brought it inside since she was in the bedroom when Laurie saw the snake. It showed no bite marks or other signs of injuries.
When Sasha brings lizards in the house, they are rarely injured. She is very gentle with the critters she catches. Likewise, when Silver catches bunnies and gophers, he carries them like a mama kitty carries kittens. He often brings his catches inside, so I end up chasing bunnies and gophers all over the house before I get them out.
Mr. Hognose was very calm, felt right at home, and he was very cooperative doing a photo shoot on the Train Tele. If you missed the original “What’s on the Tele?” post, you can see it at https://wp.me/p1yQyy-4BG.



I finally replaced the hammock, before the kitties wore it out completely, and before it gave way and a kitty fell through it. I started to replace it last week, but Loki kept attacking me and would not let me take the old one down. I took the old hammock down, threaded the rope through a new beanbag, and hung up the new hammock while Loki was outside pussyfooting around.
