1) Bobcat (Gecko) Put up a Hummingbird Feeder…and it was Hijacked.
2) Merritt (Rocco) He’s waiting for me to yell at him for playing with the wifi router again.
3) Marco (SIMON AND REDMOND) One looks guilty and one looks innocent. I’m getting Simon a cardboard box to sleep in. Cats like cardboard boxes. Irish Terriers can learn to like cardboard boxes.

Very nice photos, contributors, thanks!
Ooh, I do like the gecko, @Claudia and @Bobcat, but I’m surprised the hummingbirds didn’t chase him away. Those are feisty little things!
When we first put Kirby outside this morning, we had 2 surprise visiting racoons up on the roof looking down at us and the stinky smell of a skunk somewhere nearby in the neighborhood. These were the first racoons that we’ve seen so far this year.
@geoff
That skunk was probably hiding in your hedges.
Occasionally that happens to me when I leave for work before dawn. I open the back door to leave and I smell the skunk. I know he’s somewhere in the bushes in the back garden. I go back inside and give him time to scurry away.
The funniest skunk sighting that I ever saw was when I working as a courier near downtown Spokane (this was in the early 90’s) next to the railroad tracks. While we were loading our trucks we noticed out the back open overhead garage door an animal control officer trying to catch a skunk with a long pole with a noose at its end. He was trying to catch the skunk when he missed with the noose and the skunk let loose and sprayed him all over the front of his body. That was one funny moment for us watching but not for that poor stinky animal control officer.
That Gecko scared off the only Hummingbird I’ve seen….He did a Handstand and
drank alot of the Sugar Water….
Thank you for the cute diversion, Claudia.
Rocco’s too cute to yell at! 😍
just wag your finger at him for a moment.
Sunday “Critters” is always a pleasure.
Thanks, Claudia!
We had a German shepherd that would tear up his bedding. I went to tractor supply and bought the least expensive horse blanket and it lasted for years.
A horse blanket works?
Hmm…
I’m gonna need to find a pink plaid one. lol
Both of the Red Boyos are sleeping on old towels now. Simon and Redmond may not have learned anything from tearing their beds to pieces, but I have. The other day I heard a crunching sound upstairs. Now what? Someone had left a pencil on the coffee table. All that was left was the metal end with the eraser after Simon had finished devouring all the wood with the graphite core. None of this seems to have bothered his digestive system, but I’m waiting to see if his paw writing improves.
If it’s a dog he can always write in currsive.
Cats never look guilty.
I said horse blanket but I meant saddle blanket. The thick ones, usually made from a wool blend.
@Wild Bill–
You’re right, cats never look guilty. They often look smug, though.
