I’m back from San Jose, and catching up with things… including reviewing the cat cam footage for the week (or as many days as the cameras record; it varies based on memory card capacity and camera resolution).

Here’s Portabella requesting breakfast:

Another encounter with the orange cat; it’s being quite a menace:

A good stretch:

This is a funny expression; she looks startled, but is actually just in the middle of licking her lips after eating:

One of the cats threw up outside the feeder, and a scrub jay was helping itself:

However, things didn’t go as planned for the bird; a cat was inside the shelter, and chased it. Here’s a sequence of motion-blurred images, of the bird flying into the feeder, chased by the cat, then out again between the cats legs. Don’t worry, the bird got away:

A few hours later, another bird, a steller’s jay, came to finish off the food; I guess it didn’t see what happened to the other one:

It was more successful, and also helped itself to extra cat food. They are such pretty birds:

Two cats eating breakfast:

Two cats inside the shelter:

Four cats inside; three upstairs, one down:

Three cats snuggling on the heating pad:

One cat scratching the tree, while two are in the feeder, and one on the deck:

I hadn’t seen all five cats for a while, so was pleased to see them here (one outside, one in the shelter, three in the feeder):

Three cats inside when another arrives:

Snuggle pile:
