I peeked back one year ago in my posts to see what I was doing and what the weather was like. Presently we do have the white stuff and I could have decided to get some last snowscapes, but I chose not to. I would however, like to show you what was happening last year in our locality. It’s pretty much the same this year, fyi. This post from last year even has the title that I was thinking about for this year look-a-like post. How’s that for synchronicity?

The above picture was taken with my cellphone at night. The three cats you see are (left) Doodles, (right) Rusty, and Jersey who is attempting to go after the birdie. When Whispers jumped up one day to go after a bird that he saw on our TV screen, all bird, squirrel, and mouse videos were stopped. Now our cats watch animated videos, their favorite being “Simon’s Cat”. The feature image is Cookie looking through our screen door.
Happy Sunday, friends. Thank you for your ongoing support. Oh thank goodness it’s March!

We have to be careful about the “real” videos, Dan. We don’t want to have a broken TV and hurt cats. So cartoons and animations are what will be shown.
March can be tricky. I agree. Nothing fancy, Ms. March. Just a gentle gradual transition. Happy Sunday!! xo

I love it. We bought a cat video for our cats, with birds, mice, etc., and had to stop playing it immediately. Munch, sat in front of the tv for two days, staring at the blank screen, scratching at the corner, trying to get at the mouse he saw run in that direction. Our other cat didn’t care about it at all. The top photo of your cat should be on the cover of a magazine.

LOL Too funny, Gigi. Sadly we had to stop showing real birds and mice. Some of our cats went bananas. And thank you about Cookie. She is gorgeous, isn’t she? Believe it or not, she is one of the rescued barn cats. She actually had two litters before she finally got spayed. She’s this tiny little nothing and looks so pampered. I even have trouble some days associating her with the days she was a starving barn cat. Happy Sunday!! xo

Lol! I thought you may not remember me so I didn’t want to write too much in my comment. I’m good. How are you? How has life been? I have *so much* to catch up on here. I basically disappeared, but for good reason. My blog became too much, with negativity, and I needed to take some time away to grow, and become mentally healthy, which I am now. I miss writing so much though that I decided to restart my blog yesterday….and here I am. I’m so happy that I found your page again.

As you said, a lot has transpired between then and now. SO much happened and still is happening. I’ve grown and gotten my head on even straighter then before. I’m not blogging as much these days because I no longer am willing to “kill myself” trying to keep up with the numbers seen here. I’ve also been very involved in keeping alive some pretty sick cats, Cookie (the feature picture) being one of them. They are my priority right now. My cameras (yes plural and yes NEW) and my writing with my connections here, are many times my grounding to sanity. I could go on and on. Many Blessings have transpired. Many heartaches as well. But through them all, my life has bloomed into the direction I’ve dreamed it going.
I am SO SO glad our paths once again have crossed. I’m thrilled you did what you had to do and now are in a much better space. Good for you!! And yes you can be a cyber mommy to my babies. Each of them are precious and gorgeous. There is now even a horse who lives next door who has become my best friend. As I said …. lots has happened. LOL Much love to you!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey Amy – March does feel better! February was rain, rain and more rain. Lovely Cookie! I had cats at one point in my life and it fascinated me that they could make out images on the TV. They’d especially react to the birds. I had no idea their brains could make out a bird image on the screen – maybe it was the movement, but they mostly reacted to birds. Fascinating really – would be neat to see how they see! Your kids are beautiful! Have a lovely week! Much love, Donna

Cats are far more intelligent then what we make them out to be. Of course they recognize a bird or a mouse or a squirrel even on the TV. I would love to understand how they see too. Some “experts” claim they see mostly in black and white but the colors red and yellow they do see. All I know they know what they see.
You have a lovely week as well, Donna. I hope for your sake the rains stop. Now all it is doing is raining here. There used to be a saying, “April showers bring May flowers” but now it seems that saying goes, “March showers bring April flowers.” I dunno. Soon I will be showing flowers here. Even tulips are coming up already!! Much love to you! xoxoxoxo

The bird in the film is a Blackbird such as we have here in England. They are about as big as your American Robin and if they are defending their nest, they can be quite a noisy and scary bird.

If you have, what did they think, if anything at all? I’d be curious to hear how it all went. If this photo is any indication, they’re a fan of birdy TV!
