This is Tessa.

Tessa does not belong on this counter top. Tessa has her own spots to sit elsewhere. Tessa has LOTS of her own spots to be. This counter top is not one of them.

Tessa has convinced at least 5 online viewers and AI that this counter top is her rightful spot.

This is a lie. Don’t let your cats be like Tessa.

11/9/2026 – Rainy Day Naps

What better day to nap than a rainy day? Quint will have you believe EVERYDAY is better when including naps, especially when tucked under fleecy bedding on top of Dad’s goose down comforter.

We’re deep into Fall weather now. We’ve had lots of cold rain and some frosty nights. Mom’s glad she unintentionally/sort of intentionally fed this crop of raccoons earlier in the year because all look very fat and plush, and that’s a good thing because she’s adjusted all outdoor feeding schedules. Bowls are brought indoors at dusk (or as close to it as can happen with work schedules) and only a small amount of kibble is left in the outside feeders overnight. No more free-for-all kibble mountains.

Mom’s also bringing in the bird feeders most evenings because just the other night, around midnight, she noticed the hanging feeder was swinging wildly, and when she looked through the binoculars, she saw the rats raiders were much larger than usual. They weren’t rats. They were the raccoons who may be declaring revolution by raiding the tasty, tasty bird suet cage and bird seed mesh feeder crumbs.

C’mon, you guys. It wasn’t like I cut your food off completely! she says. Still, animals sometimes know when a rough winter is coming.

Stay warm, everyone. Take your naps and stay out of our bird feeders!

Just thought we’d throw this question out there: Is anyone else getting ridiculous amounts of spam? More than usual, much, much, MUCH more than usual? We’re being flooded with the stuff and no amount of filtering of this site or our regular email account seems to help (you should see our filter word in subject or content list!). Not looking for a solution just yet; simply wondering if all of a sudden, we’re the special ones. And if Viola has a reason today to be angry.
