Nikon Coolpix P80

This is Bandit. She is 3 months old now. I love to take pictures of her so... I'm going to experiment my new camera, Here she is... she has kind of learned "sit."

This was taken by the new camera too. Remember, I'm still learning the buttons. Bandit saying"wanna play? wanna play? come on let's play." This is Si saying... MEOW (translating: "FU%& You, dog!"

This is Si..... waiting by his food dish. Secretly thinking, "That damm dog ate my food again!"

Another picture with the new camera.

This one was bought on Phoenix Craigslist for $170. This 18X zoom looks pretty impressive. I agree with the reviews that the flash should pop up automatically but with this camera it does not.
I still need one more camera. The Canon Powershot SD990 IS looks good.

feed us

This is what I look at when I am trying to use my computer. Look at Mindy and Si trying their nonchalant feed me look. It's the "We're just sitting here and if you'd like to feed us.....?"

It works everything time.

Cat's Motto:

No matter what you've done wrong, always try to make it look like the dog did it!

The dog told me that the cats did it! woof

as the cat slept

A week ago it rained slightly a little bit in the morning and then it was gone. It was beautiful .... Yesterday it rained - real rain, like coming down hard rain. I loved it! AND it looks like rain again today. This rain is happening in the same week we broke records on our high temperature. Amazing!
Yesterday during the rain, my two cats slept - the dog laid on the couch and watched movies with my husband and I. Life is good.

Si meets Fluffy

Let me introduce you to Fluffy. She is the neighbor's cat that lives three houses down on the east side of me. I found out that her real name is TC but I call her Fluffy. During the winter the neighbors let her fur grow out but in summer time they shave her. Last year they shaved to look like a poodle. And they wonder why she chooses to stay at my house??!!
When we bought this house( in little over two years now ), we installed pet door for our cat, Si, to come in and out of the house. You know how cats are. Sleep all day - get up and eat - sleep alot more - get up and eat - and sleep some more. Then the night comes and its time to check out the neighborhood. In Si's adventures of the new neighborhood he met Fluffy.
Si, not a friendly cat, attracted Fluffy. He is very handsome and I guess to a cutey like Fluffy must have been charming. So Fluffy started coming over to my house .... alot! I'd leave the back door open and bring in the groceries. Fluffy would come in and sit on the dryer and watch me. When I'd leave the back sliding glass door open, Fluffy would come in and help herself to Si's food. Never once did I ever see her use the pet door.
I use to work night shift 7pm to 7am. My husband worked dayshift. One night my husband woke up to Si sitting on the end of the bed doing one of those low growling meows. He looked at the clock - 2am. He told Si to shut up. Being Siamese and all and male, Si kept growling. So my husband got up. It didn't take long to find the problem. Fluffy had come in the pet door. My husband told me later that this must have been a booty call. I can't imagine how he would know what that word must mean since we are old and all. But anyway...
He clapped his hands to scare away Fluffy. When he did both Si and Fluffy rushed to the pet door .... and both got stuck in the door.
My husband was not about to stick his hands down there with two cats, Fluffy with claws and Si hissing. He told me Si and Fluffy eventually worked themselves out the door.
No sleeping on Dumbar Street, again!
