Cat Moves

Apparently the stress of moving to the cabin has affected the cats too. I know for a fact they were NOT terribly happy about the four-hour drive from NJ on Monday. Although, I must say that the two little guys, Chester and his sister Shadow, took it much better than Julie. The little guys complained for a few minutes but then went to sleep. Julie yowled and howled for a good hour before she gave up and just stared at me with those evil green eyes of hers.

Anyway, they made it to the cabin and have been exploring what little open space there is inside. (It is a challenge to keep them inside when we are moving stuff in and out! Sometimes it feels like you're playing goalie for the NY Rangers and the cats are little darting pucks!)

Space is at a premium here in the cabin so the little guys have found some interesting napping sites.

Shadow and Chester napping…again.

Actually they have, on occasion found places right out in the open in which to sleep.

Julie and Chester swipe Terry’s seat for the afternoon.


After the ordeal of moving to a new location (and eating everyone’s dinner!) Shadow decided to nap for a few hours.

Actually, I feel sorry for, and yet look forward to, Shadow and Chester finding a mouse. I can see a tag team activity going on. If the mouse gets away (HA!) from one for just a six-inch escape, the other will pounce. Over and over and over this will happen until the mouse dies of exhaustion or Julie takes it away. (I don’t think she would eat it, but she would want to play too.)
