Then, mom found this spicebush swallowtail butterfly (GORGEOUS) today,
we had to look it up.
Then she played with the photo.


Have a FANTASTIC weekend my friends!

Thoughts on a thursday: Cat Sitting.

Last weekend (not the one that just passed)
mom did cat sitting for these cats. They made it possible to pay more on the bill for hansel, AND mom was able to put a bit more into the condo fund for hansel and tesla.

She had already had a fund going for a while- and with just a little bit extra, she did it. She bought the condo! it has shipped, but we're just waiting for it to get here. WE also found a really great deal on amazon to get it.
We can't wait!

Here are the cats that made this possible.
Mom had to pick up 2 jobs.
(she also pet sat for ANOTHER two cats this past weekend, helping her even more with hansel's bill- it all went right to the bill. we're almost done!)

This, is Belle.
She was very very sweet. She is one of the daughters of the cats in the other house, Patches.

Belle liked to drink water from the sink after she finished her breakfast and dinner. Mom thought this was very cute and let the little kitteh drink anytime she wanted.

Here she is asking for water.

what a silly cat!

This is Patches. She lives in the other house. Patches is the mom of all the cats mom pet sat. She gave birth to 3 children. Her son, Sonny, lives here with her. But he hated mom, wouldn't come out at all, and growled REALLY loud and warned mom every time she came in the house. Then he ran under a couch.
Mom found out later that he didn't have a rabies vaccine, and she was upset that she didn't know that when she went in the house- considering how angry Sonny was.
Luckily the house was big enough to avoid him, but he was very very angry. We have no photos of Sonny.

Another shot of Patches, while mom tried to play with her.

This is Yeowly. She lives with her sister Belle.
She is a skittish cat.
Where belle and patches are lovey and sweet, and purr and rub on you, Sonny runs and hides and growls and hisses, and Yeowly says hi, and THEN hisses. Then she gets all strange and runs away.

Actually- Yeowly only growled at mom once. And that was after this shot:

Then she blocked the hall and wouldn't let mom pass. Mom let her take her time going through, and made sure to be real slow moving around yeowly so to not startle or scare her. Other than being really jumpy, yeowly was a nice girl too.

Mom constructs a wedding basket.

Mom is going to a wedding soon,
and she decided to wrap her gift on friday.
Here are the great photos of it!

Here i am, Tesla, of course, snoopervising.
Making sure everything is safe for beans.

Smells nom.

Mom loves making gifts with baskets!
Everyone seems to enjoy them, and mom knows the best
place to get decent prices on awesome baskets!

We don't know if you guys remember mom's baskets from last year?
She had 2 baby showers.
One was Ocean Themed:
mom made a crab.



And the other one was Enchanted Forest Themed:
mom made an enchanted baby carriage.



(you should check those out!)

So we are now checking out mom's basket.

Hansel took it over on me and i had to leave.

he thought it was perfect.

He even tried to talk mom out of giving it to the girl.

He took a bath in it.

he started cooking up biscuits in it.
Finally, mom told him what was what.

Hansel : but mommeh, i jus wanna git mai man scents all offur mai noo baskits.

Tesla: HANSEL git out of mommeh's baskit!

Then mommeh put in da ingredients.

Again, i check for poisons.
All clear mom!

Mom says for a wedding it should be a bit more sophisticated then her previous baskets, aka the crab and the carriage.

This is the wrapped finished product.
Complete with pretty white petals.


I think she did a fine job.
-tesla.
just don't tell her that.
