It’s Tuesday, a day of no distinction whatsoever. But, at great expense, I replaced my stock of walnuts for my squirrels, and they are happy again. Yesterday one of them took a walnut from my hand (their eyes get REAL BIG when they see the huge nut), but then accidentally dropped it over the ledge. I’ve never seen a squirrel look so bereft. Naturally I gave him another. It is now warm enough that the squirrels are starting to bask in the sun: I found one stretched out full length, front and back legs extended, sleeping in the sun on the warm sill. I hope that there will soon be babies.
Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili has been surfing the Net. I don’t know how she does it, unless she mistakes the computer mowse for a real one. Malgorzata explains Hili’s frustration:
I hope it is understandable that Hili does not have a very high opinion about the people scribbling on the internet about every prejudice and crazy idea they have. Even in Polish “drizzle” and “intellect” are not normally connected in any way. But in a cat’s superior mind they are—when there is an obvious dearth of thought.
The dialogue:
Hili: It’s drizzling.
A: What’s drizzling?
Hili: Human intellect is barely drizzling.
A: What?
Hili: I was surfing the internet for half the night.
Hili: Siąpi.
Ja: Co siąpi?
Hili: Intelekt siąpi, ledwie, ledwie.
Ja: A tobie co?
Hili: Nic, pół nocy surfowałam po necie.
Very cute picture.
Surely Hili must feel some small approval of the internet? It is after all, the repository of global cat worship.
I suspect she is indifferent to that as long as the human hotwater-bottles are there to feed her & pet her at appropriate moments! 🙂
It looks like the light has moved to expose her head rather than her butt. But she can’t move anything else than the paws just yet…
Hili looks like a kitten in that picture!
She is right about the interweb… drizzle leads to drivel.
Let’s take up a collection to help Jerry. He shouldn’t have to shoulder this noble conservation effort alone.
Feline double face-palm!
Hili is totes adorbs!
Speaking of kittehs, the International Feline Beauty Contest:

The singapura is gorgeous. It reminds me of my Abyssinian, who has delicate features and large ears.
I find myself mildly repelled by any breed that doesn’t resemble the standard, mixed, stray cats I grew up with. Blunt noses, thin snouts, snipped ears. No thanks. I only like ‘real’ cats. Ones that look like Hili. The worst is the naked cat which is too anatomical and is the least like what cats should be – a living plush toy.
I’m a bit the same. With d*gs too – I can manage ones that are still normal sized and shaped compared to wolves, but I’m not so keen on some of the others, especially the small ones. A good personality can always win me over though.
Hili is definitely looking “totes adorb” today, or whatever that was I read above somewhere, and she seems to have found another new favourite spot.
We need a picture of the stretched out squirrels! I think they look so cute when they do that.
I think one of my chipmunks is preggers as she looks a bit tubby.
Next scam: “OK, you get up on the windowsill and look sad, while I hang out down below and catch the nuts you ‘accidentally’ drop.”
…besides which, it’s probably the same one who stole the whole bag yesterday….
