Ace of Spades Pet Thread, April 11

Culture and cats

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Thanks for stopping by. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

Let's relax a little with the animals and leave the world of politics and current events outside today.

Culture and dogs

Do you agree?

Easier to set up than a swimming pool.

This is Cali kitty trying to be intimidating.

I am almost petrified. The young grasshopper below (from New Mexico, I think) had better watch out.

Lazy Sunday afternoon for my Easter BunBun.

A wonderful Easter photo showing some kitty personality. Thanks.

Is there a 'Pets in the Garden' thread?

Most of Sammy's fur is growing back now - the top of his head was a bloody mess.

Here he is hanging out by the clematis, one of his favorite places.

Remind me how Sammy's head got bloody.

Well, I joked that it looked like he was diving into badger holes. A nasty cat fight, I assume. Ears, above the eyes and top of his head. The end of his glorious 13" tail is still a bit ratty looking. He's been coming around often, appearing out of the darkness to jump onto the table here on the back porch. Sometimes sleeps in one of the porch chairs at night. BunBun has sort of accepted him. Mostly.

Cats are not always predictable, are they? Sammy looks beautiful now. The clematis looks like it is going to be lovely, too.

These are visiting orcas in Elliot Bay enjoying the rain on Wednesday afternoon.

It is such a privilege to see them.

A thrilling sight!

I closed the comments on that post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway.
