Casper's window hammock is tilting downward on the left. Potential disaster has been averted by propping up the left side with a high backed rocker. As soon as his nap is over I'll reattach it more securely.

Harley and Casper hanging out in the dining room waiting for their 9 pm ish snack. Normally, they aren't within 10 feet of each other, but food brings families together.

Casper once again staked his claim to the dog bed. He has a physical advantage because Harley is too big to steal any of Casper's numerous sleeping spots.

Update from youngest daughter. Her cat Cassie looks pissed because she can't fit that back foot into her basket on the cat tree.

Once again Casper, with dozens of sleeping locations in the house, has rendered Harley homeless.

Casper seems to be very sleepy while relaxing in this antique box. Maybe there are residual fumes...

Good Morning #Canada
In honour of #Caturday, today's post is about the little known Parliament Hill Cat Sanctuary that existed from 1955 to 2013. It was a feline colony for a group of strays living on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, in a sanctuary set aside for them. The care of the cats and maintenance of the sanctuary was carried out by volunteers, and the effort was funded by donations.
Cats were brought into Parliament in 1924 to deal with a "mild plague" of rats and mice in the basement of the then brand-new Centre Block. The numbers of rodents soon fell, but when the unneutered cats began to multiply, they were banished to the outdoors overnight in the same year. In 1955, the cats were replaced by chemicals and no longer allowed access to the Parliament buildings, but the sanctuary was set aside for their colony, and volunteers looked after them for the next 6 decades.
