We’d think two independent girls on a comfy bed with a good amount of distance between them so as to not be anywhere close to accidentally touching one another would make for happy kitties. Well, we’re wrong. C’mon girls, can’t you at least pretend you’re happy?

This is a little better. Quint doesn’t often look grumpy. Viola, however, seems to have nearly perfected her grumpy Tessa look, regardless of how toasty warm she is on that warming mat. We’re certain that is one toasty belly!

And just to prove us wrong-O, Quint puts on his best grumpy face while Tessa dons her perpetual “Grump Queen laying claim to a blanket” pose. Still love your white outstretched paw, Grump Queen.

3/6/2026 – All the Pretty Ones

Pretty neighborhood visitor P stopped by for some special Temptation treats that only she gets from Mom. Mom says, “We’ve had this lone bag of Temptation treats for 3 years now, and though it’s a big bag, only P likes them. So only P gets them, and just 3 for each visit.”

Goes to show you how often, or not, P visits. P is currently in a witness protection program hence, her name P. Besides, no one would believe her real name is Princess. Oops!

Millie might visit our feeding station every day, or maybe she doesn’t, but when she does, she knows where the food bowl is! She’s still not putting on weight however. 🙁

She is so pretty! We are starting to believe Millie was human-oriented at some point. She has a routine with Mom and witnessed by Dad more than once. Mom comes out the side garage door, Millie comes out of the feeding station (if she’s in there), she stands in front of Mom and s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s out one paw and lightly touches the toe of Mom’s shoe. Then she looks up at Mom once and goes back to the feeding station to eat. What is this behavior?

Quint says, “Oh? So, it’s routine you want? How about if I stand here staring at you until you share your turkey. That’s cute AND pretty, am I right?”

Sure Quint, we’ll share. Better to share with you than some pretty but wild animal who’s likely to *bite our fingers off!

*We know full well raccoons are wild animals and would never, ever, intentionally touch one. We like every one of our fingers just the way they are.

** Not counting the time back in 2017 when a baby raccoon accidentally booped Mom’s finger when she was photographing it.

Today schedule includes hours of soaking up sunshine, according to Viola who has claimed it all for herself.

Those other cats can either sit downstairs and complain or find their own puddle of sun to bask in. I think I look good basking and I’ve earned this. I’m not giving up this sunny spot anytime soon.
