Cat Nap…

Penny’s fed and now the morning nap by the heater…..

Penny the Cat lounging…

Demanding…

Penny the Cat is a feisty, often grouchy cat. Interaction is always on her terms, on her schedule. Whether walking across my keyboard, attacking my wiggling toes beneath my desk, sitting on me to awaken me/pawing my face for breakfast or inserting herself into view, Penny is not shy seeking attention.

Penny the Cat zonked…

Penny the Cat, like many cats, does things on her own terms. One, is lounging half on my keyboard and the other half off into a pillow or a “don’t get hair on that” blanket. Here, she decided to crash after a manic effort at rubbing noses, pushing my glasses off my face and clawing my chin in an effort to get more chin rubs. An aside: notice the camera upper right. She was lying atop the strap so a no go on the camera’s use here.

The Disgruntled Cat & The Intruder

Alpha Kitty, Penny the Cat, stares at me each morning this way. An earnest gaze  and persistent stance upon my chest, her eighteen18 pounds atop her paws presses downward as she kneads my  chest. Food. She is the designated pest for the other cat and the two dogs. Wake up.

She has been out of sorts lately since a new kitten entered our home, a rescue, with great energy and a total lack of respect for Penny. Eventually, Penny has come around week by week.

The kitten is now found sleeping near Penny and staring out the same window at the visiting hummingbirds. They are working out the place of things. Less piddling in odd places. Less hissing and smacking with paws. Surprisingly, most patient have been the two dogs…giving a wide birth to the two felines figuring out turf.
