Edited to add: A lot of strong weather went through our area last night, but all we got was a little wind and a lot of rain. Reports are that a tornado touched down in our county, but it was nowhere near us. We are perfectly fine! We’re going to get more storms/possible tornadoes later today, but it’s not supposed to be nearly as bad as yesterday was.
Hey, remember how this very time last year not only did we have the Royals in one foster room, but we also had this character in the other, all kinds of pregnant and yet refusing to hand over those babies?
She was adopted and then returned several months later. Then she was adopted AGAIN! Here she is, in her new home.
Atop the wall in her new home. Apparently it took her less than a day to figure out that she could get up there!
Sometimes she needs to be plugged in to recharge. It’s a good time to get a photo.
Reports are that not only is she very happy in her new home, she’s also a great big snugglebug and a people lover (which is how I remember her!). Isn’t it great to see her sweet face again? Lucky girl!

“Um… yep. It’s still there.”
“But I’m not scared. Ceiling fans don’t skeer me!”
“To ceiling fans, I just say :::PBLLLLT!:: You don’t skeer me, stupid ceiling fan!”
(“Don’t hurt me, ceiling fan. I meant no disrespect.”)
“That’s right. Not skeered. I’m a great big tough mancat who has NO FEAR of the ceiling fan.”
(“Hi there, ceiling fan. Still there, I see.”)
“Ceiling fans. P’shaw! Who’d ever be skeered of one of THOSE?”
“I’ma just sit here and take a bath. Right under the ceiling fan.”
“HI ceiling fan, ol’ buddy, ol’ pal! You won’t hurt me, right? Right!”
(I love the look on Livia’s face, like “THIS idiot.”)

Dropcam has a new feature where you can make a timelapse video. Friday night, I had Fred leave the light on in the foster room, and the next day I made a timelapse video that encompassed 9:45 pm to 6:15 am. Those kitties really get around (especially Dennis and Tricki)!

Stefan, coming out of the back yard.
Down the fence post…
…down…
..dowwwwwn… (how tall is this fence post, anyway?!)
Superhero leap.
And he sticks the landing!
If you’ve been following the Love & Hisses Facebook page, you already know this, but for those who don’t (or didn’t see it) – Stefan brought a headless squirrel into the house on Saturday. On Sunday he brought a (dead) vole the size of a kitten into the house. On Monday I caught him at the back door as he brought a (live) Grackle (that’s a bird, for those of you who don’t know) through the cat door. I managed to save the Grackle, carried it through the house and placed it high in a bush to the side of the front porch. When I opened the front door to come back inside, Stefan went shooting out the door, wildly sniffed the entire porch, and then ran along the side of the house, over the fence into the back yard, and in through the back door, searching for his bird.
He is a mighty, mighty hunter but he is not a smart one.
