Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for April 10, 2017

Dog’s response was, his eyes got bigger, and a slight frown. Kind of hard to read.

I did not want to go to work yesterday because it was such a beautiful warm day – up to 70° F. But we got a plant truck and as the only one working in the garden center, I got to put out all of the plants (only 3 racks, but lots of plants on them. I don’t even want to know how many plants I put out) all by myself. So I got to spend a good deal of the day outside as I wanted, working myself into total exhaustion. A case of “be careful what you wish for ’cuz you might get it” if I ever saw it. And just before I headed home tonight, I saw the Easter lilies just came in. I have the day off Monday and I just know that when I go back on Tuesday (I get a split “weekend” – Monday and Wednesday) the guys who work in garden center are going to moan and groan at how much work they had to do putting out Easter lilies. But they will be 2 men, much younger than I am, doing a great deal less work than I did today. Any belly-aching from them just might make me “pop my cork”. They don’t know what real work is.

So happy Monday everyone! Oh, I forgot,people generally don’t like Mondays. I love ‘em because it’s usually my day off.

I found six pictures today which I placed on the Ten Cats Fan Club page with copies on Photobucket for your enjoyment.

Does your cat take on some of your characteristics? (where’s the empty beer can or wine glass?)

Oh, joy. The allergy season is upon me. AAAACHOOO!

Happy Easter from Dr. Seuss’s cat. (don’t panic, it’s actually light coming through a decal on the door)

A catitude post: when you’re a hungry kitty in the morning with an empty bowl, you have to resort to the “Emergency Broadcast System”. (censored for language)

This kitty mechanic is an epic failure.

Cats can be useful puzzle solvers.

To all my fellow Graham Crackers, I wish a wonderful Monday. We are going to have summer weather here in Barrie, we will be going up to 24C!

As the joke used to go, “everything is always bigger and better in mother Russia” (including cats).

Rose, no ketchup?

Happy Monday to all the TC crew!!!! It is dry and sunny here…2nd day my houseplants get to spend time on back porch…pets too.

The boys were thoroughly entertained yesterday as I was planting the containers and doing other chores in the garden, many things to investigate and observe. They were less thrilled to see me put “grandma’s” tomato plants out on the back deck again – they take up valuable cat observing spots in their opinion and smell funny

Tomato plants do smell funny. But I plant them anyway.

I also dug up some catnip plants from in front of my house which were in a flower bed and transplanted them to a spot inside my fenced area, in front of my shed where my cats will be able to enjoy them. I don’t have a front yard – the house is about 8 inches from the sidewalk so that is outside the fenced part of my yard.

Great pictures today. :)
