The pawsse recuperates after an exhausting night of shredding window screens.

  2. Nice quilt! Did you make it? Still on watch against the nasty neighbor and the gun?

  3. The poor putties... So determined to get out! You'd think they just came home from the plant after a hard night's work on the swing shift.

  4. They are still confined to quarters; not only does the neighbor still have traps out in his yard, the animal control officer picked up a feral cat in the neighborhood who was very very sick.

    Between traps, sick wild cats, and Mr Fox at the machine sheds, we think it's better to keep them indoors.

    They, of course, disagree strongly.

  5. Anon-the quilt was made by my mother, the demon quilter of Dearborn Heights. After my parents moved to a retirement development, she began quilt-making with a vengeance.

    I have half a dozen others she made. I wouldn't dream of putting any of those on a bed (except maybe to show off when company was coming).

    This one is almost twenty years old and has been through the mill.

  6. Poor babies. Poor you!

    Daughter's cats shred the screens or try to go right through them. Her apartment doesn't have air conditioning, so if we don't do something soon she's going to melt.

  7. If you're going to be keeping them in for a while, I can recommend the heavy-duty screening they make for pets and kids. At least, it held up to a 75-pound GSD desperately desiring to get through to the rabbit on the other side. The screen frame was bent, but the screen fabric held up just fine!

  8. Well, someone has to shred the screens, chew the houseplant leaves and become the meal's centerpiece at the exact moment when guests enter the diningroom. Humans can't be trusted to do all these things on their own.
