Ollie Update––He’s Back!

28 Replies

For the first time, Ollie didn’t show up for dinner tonight. I’ve looked everywhere he could be. I don’t think he ever left my property and he is not here. His sister has been yowling for past half hour or so. I am so sad. Afraid he is gone for good. I don’t think he ever went up the hill or into the street so he must be on my property unless some wild animal or dog got him. So so sad.

This is Ollie when he first showed up at my door with his three sisters. He was runt of the litter.

Here he is with his sisters, Kukla and Fran, after they’d all been fed for a few weeks. Roo is barely on view…just her ears.

Ollie is the one in the middle–no longer runt of the litter–– and Roo is above him, Kukla in front. Fran is missing in this pic.

And….guess who just showed up an hour later? After his mom had at least 3 anxiety attacks?

WHAT A RELIEF!!!!! I SWEAR, HE HAS NEVER ONCE IN THE 8 YEARS HE’S BEEN LIVING HERE EVER MISSED A MEAL!!!!

Wall flowers–– Bougainvillea: FOTD, Feb 21, 2022

10 Replies

Cats always choose the exact right place to pose themselves. This is Ollie photobombing the bougainvillea. Why is it odd? First of all, because it is rare to see him without his sister, Kukla, and secondly because this is the first time he has been the one to greet me up on the wall when I return home. Usually it is Kukla. Or is it because that’s an odd number of leaves on the bougainvillea bush? Check and see.

Ollie Finds a Distraction

Oops..I can see this video here but not when I try to view it on Notifications or the Reader. Please let me know if it works for you. It should last about 15 seconds, but it  looks like this video doesn’t work except on Facebook. I’ll see if she can send it in another format. Sorry.

I received this message from my friend Kristina who is housesitting for me on my birthday. Hope you can see this video of Ollie and another who remained his playmate and not his prey, but I fear the worst.

When Your Door Falls Off During the Rainy Season!!

26 Replies

What do you do when you open the back door and the whole heavy glass door falls in as you pull on the knob? First you call Pasiano who works for an hour and can’t get it reinstalled. So he props it against the outside storage cupboard–possibly the worst place to put it if you in fact require access to anything stored in the closet , but at least it is sort of protected from the inevitable rain. Then you call every aluminum place in three towns and either they don’t answer or they are crazy busy. Can anyone come today? No. Tomorrow? Probably not. Will they call you when they can come? Yes.

Luckily, there is an additional barred screen door installed outside the main door, so at least we had security.
so stopgap measures were called for.
The next morning, Pasiano and Yolanda decided it might be a good idea to resort to plastic to cover the screen door–in this case the plastic tablecloths I use for kids’ art classes.
And, Yolanda and I again made a round of phone calls. No promises, but late this afternoon, ViLuMa called to say they’d be here in 20 minutes.
Some of the work took place outside,
but whenever one of the guys was inside, Ollie was right there checking out the action–for the entire time they were here!
An hour and a half later, the plastic tablecloths were restored to their neat pile,
the door was installed,
and all was again right in our world. And the view is definitely better without the plastic!

Please look on you camera or in your photos folder on your computer or phone and publish the last picture you took to your blog page and then link it to the comments on this page of mine!  No explanations necessary. Be sure to publish a link to my blog post in your blog so others can see all the photos and play along.

Here is the last photo I took:

A friend sent me this request and it is such a good idea that I’m stealing their idea. Unfortunately, I can’t find their original message to me so can’t remember who they are to give them credit.
