This visit is proving to be good for the boys and the girl.

I hope that all have a great Passover celebration that begins tomorrow at sundown!!....it is the only holiday we observe...tho, not many these days do. We don't celebrate as the Jews of old do...but it is a day of praise and prayer. Many seem to opt for the other more pagan day, but hope all realize the true meaning.....
We ended up with just a tad over 2" of rain thru the storms and the weather never cooperated for us to go fishing...so, we taught the boys some easy snacks and meals that they can fix for their selves....they will be leaving on Sat.....it'll take me a wk just to recoup...but Gabbie will be really missing her charges for sure....

Nothing much happening around here, except rain....and more rain...along with grass and weed growth, above the standing water. The weather hasn't been kind to the joints either, so there have been many grin-n-bear it days since the grandsons returned home. Gabbie is still growing and doesn't much care for the days of being stuck inside either. The past several days I have gotten a few pics of the more elusive animals that we have.....first up is KiKi....
...she is the friendliest of the bunch, but she controls her territory....she is Cheetos momma, and he has filled the shoes of his daddy.....my Li'l Man.....
...they make up the outside cats that are ours here and both are in the 12-15lb range.....next, we have the queen herself, making a rare appearance....this is Callie....
....she is all of about 3lb....she is so elusive, that Gabbie has yet to have any interaction with her....except for some hisses and a small swat or 2.....she will never be seen if there are any other people inside except Joyce and I.....Cheetos is that way outside. We have been teaching Gabbie to ignore them and so far there have been no issues....Gabbie wants to play and the cats want to survive. We actually have a pet gate in a doorway about 5" off the floor so she can go and come at will and Gabbie is stopped at the gate....we don't monitor things or attempt to force things, so there is common ground to share, but each has their own safety zone. The outside cats stay out during decent weather, but Joyce puts them in the trlr in the bad weather....which it seems is every other day or 2. I know I haven't posted any Gabbie pics in a while now....so, I'll work on getting some posted along with a few from the time with our visitors....

Kiki looks like a cat I had when I was young. She used to lay out in the yard until enough stray dogs came around to warrant her attention and she would fly into a rage and run them off.

I tell ya Mike...she is the same way....and her curiosity will draw her to anything that is strange in her territory....absolutely no other cats at all crosses her borders except for Cheetos....and she only tolerates him only so much before she is slapping him up too. She refuses to eat out of a dish that has his smell on it at all....crazy felines....

Rascal used to be that way, could have a guest for 3 days and they would never see her. Then suddenly about a year ago she decided she could deal with having other people around I guess.

Your guy looks a lot like my 10 year old Maine Coone Mix, Porter.Cheetos momma, and he has filled the shoes of his daddy.....my Li'l Man.....
We got him from an animal rescue, in Harrisburg, PA. He was in a motherless litter of 4. There were 3 short hair, gray Tabby boys and him, found under a snow covered Bush at the age of about 3 weeks.
All I wanted was a sweet lap cat. I got that, in spades, plus a bonus of a gorgeous cat!
ETA: while I was writing this, Porter came up onto my lap. So, I got these photos of my "Lap Cat".
