I am so envious of this cat’s ability to sleep comfortably in basically any position.

I feel like these pretzels chose me at the grocery store.

Oh, hey there.  I see you like clean, cat hair-free laundry.

This American Dagger Moth (Acronicta Americana) looks pretty goofy. I wonder what purpose the 80’s rock band hair serves.

I’m not sure why we bother buying toys for the cat. She seems to prefer boxes and paper.

Kitten is all about oral hygiene.

It’s hard to make the distinction between “toy” and “not toy” to a kitten.

This hawk perched right in front of our window and screeched for a while. I guess he was taking a break from circling overhead and dive-bombing rabbits.

Found an ugly young Chimney Swift (Chaetura Pelagica) screeching in the fireplace this morning. The AARK Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center took the bird in.

I captured a little brown bat (Myotis Lucifugus) that was trapped in the house. I have no idea how it got in here.

Princess Kitten is not amused by her ceremonial tiara.

Brushing the kitten’s teeth is a two-person job fraught with peril. Coconut was not into it at all.

Kitten just plopped down on my feet and fell asleep. I guess I’ll sit a while longer.

Existence appears to be exhausting when you’re a kitten.

I discovered another raspberry patch while dumping some ivy. This crazy-looking Lophocampa Caryae caterpillar came out to say hello!

I spotted a majestic green frog sitting on a rock while I was out checking the pond pump filters.

Despite getting absolutely ravaged by the caterpillars this year, the cherry tree ended up producing a lot of fruit. Of course, the birds and bugs get most of it.

Spotted this beautiful Apheloria Virginiensis millipede after displacing a pile of dead leaves. They secrete cyanide as a defense mechanism!

I’m not sure why it’s so amusing to watch a cat lick condensation off of a can, but it is.

The cat is not interested in the actual toy, just the tag attached to it.

Coconut likes to climb up me while I’m at my desk. She demands attention and is very farty this morning.

This cat is like a dog. Any time we have food, she is all over it.

Tonight’s film selection: Conan the Barbarian on LaserDisc

It looks like our swimming pool has been taken over by frogs.

The baby gate is not an effective kitten barrier.

I spotted this cool-looking dragonfly while I was out cleaning the pond filters earlier.

We just adopted a 5 week old kitten named Coconut. She was found abandoned in the woods with no mother 3 weeks ago and rescued with the rest of her litter by a kind stranger.
