Today would ordinarily be Crooked Acres Thursday, but I have been lax in the taking of Crooked Acres pictures (though you can always go to yesterday’s post to see George and Gracie pics), so that’ll have to wait ’til next week when things get back to normal.
Know what I haven’t been lax about? Cat pictures! You’re welcome.
Firstly, remember Harlan Peppers, who four months ago looked like this:
and then he went off to Petsmart with the rest of his siblings (Molly, Sally, Lucy, Everett), and Molly was adopted quickly, then the rest of the litter languished there at Petsmart because adoptions were so slow?
Well, yesterday dear sweet Harlan was adopted! And when his new parents got him home, they let him out of the carrier, and we was terribly, terribly tense, like such:
Nope, he doesn’t look happy at ALL, does he?
This, combined with Buster’s adoption the day before Christmas, makes this a great week. I’m just hoping that the rest of the big Peppers (Everett, Sally, and Lucy) are adopted soon. As you may or may not know, black cats tend to take longer to be adopted because of silly superstitions wherein they’re considered bad luck. Everett, Lucy and Sally are such awesome kitties that they’re the very opposite of bad luck, if you ask me.
At least with adoptions picking up a bit, their chances are looking better. Y’all keep your fingers crossed for them, would you?
Charlie Peppers finds himself in a pickle.
Charlie, atop the kitchen cabinets, realizes that somehow, he’s gotten turned around. If he wants to get down from the cabinets, he’s not going to be able to go that way, because the fearsome Stinkerbelle is in his way, and she doesn’t put up with, well, ANYONE invading her bubble.
Well, THAT’s too far to jump, Chuckles. Can’t go down that way!
He’s not comfortable jumping down onto the fridge, it seems a bit far for him still.
Taking a break to ponder his next move…
Stinkerbelle glares.
He scoots past Alice, who’s not inclined to put up with anything, either, but she’s less shrieky about it than Stinkerbelle is, thus less scary.
Hmm… nope, still too far!
Along the walkway.
Preparing to jump.
And again.
And he’s safe!
Charlie and Patty Peppers fight it out.
Poor Charlie. Patty’s always jumping on him and kicking his butt.
::CHOMP::
“I KEEL YOU!”
And then it’s nap time.
Tig and the pouty face.
Sleepy Tig.
“What doin’, lady?”
Don’t be fooled by this picture. Opie’s the biggest Son, at just under 3 pounds.
Clay wants a snuggle.
Front to back, Opie, Clay, Tig.
Jax wants in on the snuggling action.
Another closeup of Tig. Something about his big round eyes and serious little face makes me want to kiss him a million times.
Clay checks to see if I have food for him.
“Why is this bed so LUMPY?”
(starring Elwood with special appearance by Tom Cullen.)
