This is a cat who knows how important a daily nap is. He sleeps so hard you can pile objects on him and he barely reacts…if at all!
He makes a great place to put the remote so I can find it later….

Well, momma duck has done a good job and her half a dozen babies are ready to go! They (and mom) escaped their separation pen yesterday while I was rescuing a stuck newborn duckling from the wire so I left them with the herd to see how they’d do. Mom decided she was done with them after about 10 minutes and left them on their own. I went back about 2 hours later and could only find 4 out of 6…after searching the entire pen I noticed one of the water tubs was flat on the ground instead of leaning against the pen.
I know not to leave anything leaning when there’s animals small enough to get trapped under, but I was distracted by newborns… I went over and lifted the tub and sure enough, 2 very disgruntled ducklings went zooming out from under it.
I decided to see if they could spend the night with the big ducks, but after listening to their frantic crying changed my mind and herded them back into the separation pen. Despite 2 weeks of seeing everyone else through wire, they just weren’t fitting in. I refastened the wire separator and decided it was time for them to find new homes. I’m gonna miss them!
Normally when I take a picture of my cat using the Flash both of his eyes reflect green, Which is common for cats. However the other night his one eye was bothering him and when I went to try to take a picture to show the vet it actually reflected red!
Now in my case I already knew there was an issue with the eye as this is a reoccurring condition for him. Earlier this is how he was holding the eye -notice that it is shut-
A trip to the vet and some eye stain later confirmed what I already suspected-he had abraded his eye and it was bothering him. I showed the vet the picture and he said the irritation has inflamed the blood vessels in the eye causing them to reflect red. So if you take a picture of your cat and the eyes are different colors, get it checked out in case it needs treatment!
