Alastriona, The Cats & Dogs

Remembering Chimera and Fenris (March 2025) Chimera and Fenris meet Hershey and Oreo

Me and Chimera liked hanging out in the infirmary even when we weren't sick. Good view of bird TV.

And I of course had my man cave.

Me and Chimera were usually together. She was my best buddy.

Ladybug and Fenris were still going on walks.

Fenris loved his walks even when they wore him out, it hurt our hearts seeing him struggle to walk a path he used to run like the wind multiple times.

One day when MDad came to visit we got booted out of the infirmary and Mom started calling it a nursery. This little squeaky thing (Oreo) and her brother (Hershey) got put in there. Oreo is the bravest of the duo and she came to explore the rest of the house when the door was open. She made friends with Fenris. He was really good with cats he basically just laid their and let you walk all over him after he got older. Unless you were Scylla he always chased Scylla it was a game they played. And he and Arty Mouse had a very special relationship, she taught him to play fight like a cat and they did zoomies together and rolled on the floor in sync. Mom loved watching those two play.

Chimera broke into the nursery to meet the kittens. She found where they were sleeping.

Mom was happy that Chimera was basically OK with kittens just like Socks was. She liked watching them until they were old enough to play with and then they became buddies.

You can see Hershey and Oreo didn't think she was much of a threat. ~Yang, reporting for ATCAD

Meowy Monday with Miss Yin

Hanging on to my favorite bookmark so it doesn't get lost Mom.

What are we going to read today?

Oh I guess I could help you with the housework so we can read later.

Mom I really think you should stop experimenting with the camera.

I mean really you are making me disappear.

Although this is a good picture of Tortuga the Turtle.

What do you mean that Turtle the Turtle is a silly name. I named him Tortuga not Turtle

What do you mean Tortuga is Turtle in Spanish. Turtle should be Turtle in any language. Next you are going to be telling me that I am not a cat in Spanish.

(actually Yin you would be a gata in Spanish since you are a female cat). That makes no sense Mom I am a cat. A cat is a cat. What would Yang be? (Yang is a gato since he is a boy cat) Bizarre we are CATS.

PeeS: I am supposed to tell you that Mom and MDad are getting married today. Not sure what that means other than MDad made the yard look super nice and helped Mom clean the house and a whole bunch of stranger showed up for a pre wedding party last night. We also apparently have a turtle he slipped into the garage just like Slippy and refuses to leave. Anyway Mom has been running around getting beautiful today and youngest boy took the day off and Mom says when they come home her and MDad will be married. I am sure at some point there will be pictures and I can tell you more.

Selfie Sunday with Miss Yin

Still loving the turtle.

I think pink and green are my colors Mom.

What do you think. I took a selfie so you could see.

I think this is a nice picture.

OK, time to get up and do some computer work.

Oh Mom, you need to get MDad to hang the picture up.

This is our favorite bookmark. I better hang on to it so it doesn't get lost. ~Miss Yin, reporting for ATCAD

Caturday Art the Engaged Edition with Slippy

Word Art

Another Word Art challenge. I manage to capture Slippy before he slipped off.

Created with Rewards. He asked again on Top of Pike's Peak complete with another ring. This one is simpler and something I can wear on our adventures without worry. (getting engaged is FUN!) But rest assured I will always say YES. Or at least some version of it.

Font Challenge

Mask Challenge

Mystery Box

Mini Kit Challenge. I said YES to the dress and we found a venue all in the same day.

Feline Friday with Yang and Miss Yin

Hi Mom, what are you doing?

(taking pictures of you Miss Yin)

Oh, OK let me put my glamour look on.

That's better now you can see my eyes.

Sorry Mom, you need to do better with the eye thing.

I like the turtle you got for your birthday. He is really sweet. He told me he is a sea turtle.

I think he is my new BFF.

I got replaced by a TURTLE.

Yin, how could you replace me with a stuffed turtle! Go away Mom I am sleeping, I am to depressed for pictures. My sister replaced me with a turtle.

Ladybug Barks

Mom you cut my nose off (you moved).

I am so glad it finally stopped raining. We didn't have much damage from Tropical Storm Arthur some tree limbs came down the garage flooded a little before Mom could close the garage door. But that was it. Some local roads did flood but all the peeps managed to stay safe. Mom did worry youngest boy might not be able to get home one night because of flooded roads but he made it.
