Caturday: Our friends have a birthday!

Our fur friend, Henry Hobson (left) and his littermate Chloe de Chanel (right) are celebrating their 7th birthday today. Henry gave us all a terrible scare last year when he managed to get out of the house. He was missing for days and days and was finally spotted wayyyyyyy up a tree. When he came down, his mom was finally able to coax him out of the bushes and take him home. He was a tad thin and skinned up from the tree, but otherwise he was ok. Now he spends his time indoors with his beloved toy, Mr. Snakels. Henry’s sister Chloe is a real beauty. Note to Henry’s mom: If you click on the photo, it will take you to the full size and you can copy it from there easily. Thank you for letting me play with their pics. 🙂

Happy Birthday to Henry Hobson and Chloe!

As for the pointy eared people, their pics have more of a Noir feel about them.

Now for something a bit absurd. Last July we wrote about the rare and elusive Golden Gate Bawk-Bawk in a post titled Cock up at the park. Given that there is a coyote den nearby, we didn’t think they would last long. We were wrong. In July there were two. Now there are four.

I couldn't get all four birds in the frame, but here are two of them

Here's a closeup. They are remarkably healthy and roosting in the shrubbery.

Sadly, I can’t read the word “shrubbery” with hearing the voice of the Knights who say Ni.

Final note: If you scroll down past this post, you will see some sunrise photos from earlier in the week.

  1. I didn’t make it quite that easy on my mom. After the fire fighters tried to get me down from the tree I jumped down into a heavily wooded/bushy vacant lot. Mom and the Fire Fighters tried to come after me but the brush was so thick they could hardly move through it or see me. Mom set a humane trap nearby but it was a no go. I finally came home on my own the next evening. I was gone for 10 days. Also for the record I think I used up more of mom’s lives than my own. 🙂

  2. Those are really great pictures! Titan looks really good in black and white. What is that silly Tito holding in his mouth though?

  3. Wild chickens! Soooo neat!

    Did you know that chickens are actually originally native to southern India and Indochina? Apparently they were some sort of ground dwelling jungle bird before domestication and were carried to Europe through Turkey in about the 5th century. Kinda nifty… 😉

    Yes… I’m just that sort of lil’ geek to know something goofy like that… 😉

    1. Wow! I find that kind of geekiness to be a wonderful thing. I didn’t know that and now I’ve learned something new. You just be as geeky as you want. 🙂
