Cat update for week ending February 15

On this week’s cat update, lots of cuteness, and a bit of drama. But only one GIF.

It may be a little hard to see, but look in the background on the right: a cat climbing a pole:

Even harder to see, sitting on top of the pole:

And down again; the ferals are very good at climbing, and know to turn around and back downwards, so their claws have traction:

Poppy in the breezeway during daylight hours:

A couple more of Porcini; she either didn’t notice me watching her from the window a few feet away, or ignored me:

An animated GIF of a flight between Pumpkin and a twin (probably Spud):

Spud (or Pommie) was just sitting next to Pumpkin’s favorite shelter, and Pumpkin ran up and attacked. Spud seemed to fare better, though; Pumpkin lost some tufts of fur (you can see it drifting in the GIF), and suffered a bite or scratch on his tail:

Hopefully he’ll be a bit more respectful of Spud in the future.

Anyway, back to cuteness. Breezeway cats:

I put a heating pad on an old cat bed in the back of the shop, but I hadn’t seen Pansy using it until now:
