Casper got tired of watching birds and decided on a nap. I plan on copying his schedule this afternoon.

Casper giving us a subtle hint that it's time for his lunch.

Yeah, sure. We grow our cats together with our vegetables. This way both learn good social behaviour. #caturday #catsofmastadon

Senior Cassie, now in her 10th year, is looking floofy and comfy in the cat tree.

Plum, our granddaughter's cat, has gotten accustomed to being tucked in. She's wondering why it is taking so long...

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.

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.

I'm not sure what Casper is dreaming about, but he sure is concentrating hard...

A very hot summer has meant mostly closed windows to make sure our A/C is efficient. But we gave Casper some open window time this morning so he could chatter at birds. He's pretty animated here after watching a large raven take off from the bird feeder.

Casper greeting the newest member of our family. He was a little tentative at first but accepted it once he realized there would be no additional competition for treats.

Cassie looking very surprised in the cat tree.

Despite my objections, Casper is helping me make the bed.

Harley was trying to go lay in her bed in the bedroom this morning - you can see it in the top left corner of the photo. Unfortunately, she was wary of Casper lying in wait in the laundry basket. You can see his white ears sticking out the top of the basket. Harley chose to avoid getting pounced on if she went by and laid down out of reach.

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

Casper and I are ready to battle galactic aliens...

Casper also enjoying the sunroom but not the outside view.

It's soooo exhausting watching birds at the feeder all day.
