It raining and windy, so mama has the bird feeder away. She not want it to break the birdie tv window. But we saw Mr. Fox this morning. He just stare at us. And the raccoons climbed onto the window frame last night. Mama thought someone breaking in and fell out of bed. Me and Sasha Cat laughed and laughed. She look funny on the floor. And she opened the curtain, holding a big stick, and yelled when she saw the raccoon. And then the raccoon ran away. Mama did look crazy, I don’t blame raccoon.

Our county fair is this week and we live a block from the fair grounds. So we can listen to the bands from my house. You can't understand any words but you can hear the bands. You can tell when they are paging things too. I have lived here for 12 years so got uses to it. They changed the set up of the fair this year so not as bad. They don't have a ton of rides and they have them on the infield of an old race track{horse} so the grandstand is blocking it too. I work across the street from the fair grounds and it isn't as noisy with the rides not being right there. I went to see Jeff Dunham on Monday and worked the fair on Wednesday. I haven't done a fair day yet. I have Friday and Saturday to do that. Our clinic has a booth at the fair. So that explain the no cookie and chunkie issues here. They lived.

It's been raining a lot last week and last night it's been raining. The air is now much fresher and cooler. I like this kind of weather, which is neither suppressively hot nor freezing cold. Small rain does not hurt at all. I'm not looking forward to winter because it is slippery at the time, but I don't mind the slight cold. But I don't like slippery because if I fall I can't get up easily if at all because of my knees. I'm just afraid of slipping because my knees can't tolerate twisting or turning. Autumn and spring are my favorite seasons.

Birds! Birds! I'm so excited birds have come back to the bird-screen TV. Many birds were seen and heard over the weekend. Small birds only, no big birds seen. I go out every morning to check out the bird TV so that just the neighbour's nasty boy cat isn't in my yard. If that's the case me tell sister or Viivi the dog to drive it away. Viivi doesn't have to say anything when the boy cat leaves the yard.
Vili
When Vili was a little boy, he saw a neighbor's boy cat go across the yard, looking at Vili and Vili was such a big and tough boy when he saw a cat run over the yard. Vili thought the cat was terrified of him, but Viivi sneaked behind Vili's back to the window and the cat saw Viivi's wide smile and white teeth.
Viivi doesn't do anything for cats, she only barks to them. We have taught that cats are not touched, whether they are outdoors or our own cats. And we make sure that outdoors cats don´t get too close to Viivi, because the cat can attack and dog can bite the cat so the dog owner is responsible for biting although really the cat's owner is responsible and they take a risk every day when let the cat out that the cat might not come home alive.
There are many irresponsible cat owners who let the cat out and if the cat dies or disappears while outside, they takes a new cat and put it out, etc. Some people put their cat outside sterilized but many more put outside a cat who don´t be sterilized, many of them don't understand or don't care why there are so many who hate cats. It's not the cat's fault why thet are put out the door. Only the human who lets a cat out is guilty of cat hate.
So many cats have died in the cold, dead under a car, killed by a predator, or killed by a human or dog.
Then the city magazines wonder when wild cat herds have been found in the countryside again, where they came from, and how they can be kept from multiplying by first letting the cats out or leaving a nice summer kitten when they go back to town in the fall. Here are some not so clever inventors that the cat's problem disappears when they go hunting with dogs. A simpler, smarter, and cat-friendly idea would be for cat owners to neuter their cats and not let them out.
Sorry long story but I'm so sorry for innocent cats and I don´t like irresponsible cat owners or cat killers.

Meowmy it is the same way here. We don't have a large cat colony in our neighborhood, there are 3 in the area around where I work. We are on a busy road and I am surprised I don't see very many passed away. When I do I have the ok to bring them in and have their bodies taken care of at no charge. I think in the past 2 years there has been about 4-5. They do TNR and we give big discounts. The babies are caught and given to a rescue and we work with them too. One of the colonies is down to about 10 cats because of doing TNR and kitten catch. The kittens comes from dumps or the other colonies since the small colony is all spayed and neutered. That guy doesn't mess around. He gets a new cat on his property he puts traps out and they get vet visit. He doesn't care where the cats came from and doesn't care of they leave after. He feeds, water and supply shelter to any that want to come to his place. This type of person is not a norm.

Hey!
I saw a really big bird today on bird TV. It was at least as big as me. That bird was teasing me by jumping from one branch to another and sometimes going to the top of a big tall stick and again coming close. You sure showed your tongue! A stupid feather-like roast! I wouldn't have wanted to grab it, but there would have been nothing else to eat except feathers and big predators like I don't eat feathers!
Vili
I first saw the bird when it came to the window. It was a crows chick, maybe this year's chicks. Smaller then Vili.
Vili got excited when he saw the bird, tail swinging hard from side to side as excited as he was, and he almost drifted off the table as he tried to find where the crow went.
Meowmy
Me babies birdies no in nested no more. Mom say dey flyed away. Me see dem today in me yard. Mom telled me dey too big for nested. Me no care. Me see yots of dem Robins. Me no see Freddie today.

Me mom telled me dey don't do birdies but why dey have dem big birdies den? Mom has no marts yik us kitties.
Andrew
They have been doing work in the yard. We took the fence down so now Andrew goes out on a leash. He is kind of happier cause he can get into the really green grass. He goes just a little bit from where the fence was. They said they are going to put a patio out there but were there was no grass so he will be ok. I will be able to put a chair out there so we can sit outside. The ground was uneven to put a chair out there. With Kory being gone I don't want the fence up. I have decided due to Nate being so scared of Kory not to get another dog. When Kory was out Nate wouldn't go near where he was and if Kory came in and Nate was in his area he would chase him. So just going to have 3 cats. Oh I saw Freddie when I came home today from work. He wasn't where Andrew could see him.
Mom
Sasha Cat back to being mean and telling me the owl will come take me away. Then she tell me that I so fat the owl will drop me. Make me mad. I still being nice to her tho. She feeling much better but mama and me scared so much when she got sick.
the raccoons are running around the roof and they were on the lanai screen when we went out this morning. Mama made us come in in case the screen breaks, she doesn’t want us to get rabid. She say I’m protected but Sasha Cat too old to get the shot and she doesn’t want her to get sick.
the foxes come by a lot...mama puts out food for the ferals and she thinks the foxes are eating the kibble. She not know if it is good for them. Mama nit get any pictures.

Me yet mom telled you what Matfew did. Me head just can'ted take it.
Andrew
I had to yell at Matthew or I think I would have killed him. I had to put the air conditioners back in the birdie tvs. Andrew's main birdie tv doesn't get one. Well I got the one that covers most of the apartment and went to shut the birdie tv sound off in the 3 that doesn't get air blowers. While I was in the other room I hear BOOM. I come out and find Matthew in, yes I said in, the mini blind and sitting on the floor. He broke it at the top that goes in the holders. Then I am in my bedroom putting the air in and I hear BOOM again. I go an look and I find a fan on the floor and Matthew stuck in the mini blinds. He broke some of the support strings so that makes 2 sets I have to replace. I got him out of that one and pulled it up but still lets lots of sun in. While I am trying to figure out what to do with the one he destroyed I hear bang bang bang. I go and look and he is chewing and letting go chewing and letting go of the mini blind that is on Andrew's birdie tv. He chewed of 2 slats on that one. It did fit on the window that he broke completely. I will have to replace 3 of my mini blinds tomorrow. Other choice was to kill Matthew. What a brat!!. Andrew has a blanket on his birdie tv so he can't sit on his table and look out. Tomorrow isn't that far since we have lived like this since Saturday morning.
Mom
Hey mom turned on me sound on me birdie tv today. Me gotted to see Freddie too. Him taked birdies nuts dem workers dat tooked me steps away gived dem. Mom telled me dat dem air blowers might no go back in. Me happy day. Mom still gotted fix me birdie tv covers. Her telled me her gotted bring home noise maker to putted dem up. Me hoped it no scared birdies away.
Andrew
I opened Andrews favorite window today before I went to work. Didn't have time to take the air conditioners out this morning. I did get them out this afternoon and so HAPPY I love not having them in. From what the weather guy is saying if will be over a week till no more before we need air for some people. I have a fan going right now and I am getting cold. I know Andrew is happy. Freddie was in the yard when I got home. They had put nut and berry bird food out back so Freddie was into it. He had the birds very upset. The people in the care home brought out some veggies and put it by his hole and he went for it and let the birds have the food the worker put out.
Mom
Hey guys!
Yesterday I was watching bird TV when I heard a strange sound. It was not human voice, nor did it come from the tin boxes people call cars. I listened very carefully, I thought there was a terrible nasty owl or a fox lurking nearby. Meowmy also listened and said that the horses talk to each other that way. Weird guys are horses when they scream with a terrible sound.
Vili
Horses are close to pasture when I keep the window open so their voices are heard right here. Vili has never heard of horses before. Especially in the morning, the sounds are good when it's quiet.

Mom gotted horsey in me house. Him no talked at yeast me no heared him. Mom say him name is Painted Biscuits. Me no dink me tasted him. Mom comed home from one of her rides in dem sky metal flys.

Andrew
I got a stuff black and white painted horse from Gulfstream gift shop in Florida. I named Painted Biscuits because of the markings and I was eating a biscuit and the crumbs got all over it. I put it in my suitcase to bring it home. When I opened my suitcase Andrew was sitting right by it and it's head popped up when I opened it. Scared him. It sits by the tv as it isn't a small stuffed animal. It was clearance and I fell in love with it. I used it as a pillow while I was laying with Kory the night before he died. So right now the horse is facing the wall. I think all 3 of these boys would freak out if they heard a horse. We had an Bald Eagle flying around town. It flew over a few times and with the sun it looked like a plane flying low. That was so cool but the shadow scared me when I saw it. I was thinking that plane engine quit it is going to go down.
