#caturday Allie regards Fireball with her usual skepticism.
Neighbors may wonder at me taking walks with a cat. It's not my choice. I go a ways and Fireball springs out of the bushes to wrap himself around my ankles. Walking becomes slower then, with frequent stops for chin rubs.
Fireball drinks stagnant water from the fountain. Fresh tap or filtered water in a bowl? Won't touch it. Fresh water in a cat fountain with motion sensor? He takes the device apart. He will however drink water from a hand held cupped under a dripping faucet. #caturday
For #internationalwomensday some years ago, as we head into #caturday , this photo explaining my own pussy grabbing. She was a very intelligent and affectionate cat. But she demanded to be treated with respect. If I should grab her when she didn't want to be grabbed.... Well, she had teeth and knew how to use them to teach respect.
#caturday Fireball is out keeping watch in case any small creature should be alive and need to be killed. There's a bit of rain though, so to keep his paws dry he sits on the table. Keeps looking through the window at us though because things are happening in here, and he loves it when things happen.
A sweet story for #caturday
#caturday Fireball got his shots today, and they assigned the right vet for the job. She previously worked in Africa giving injections to wild lions. Oh but, other than the whole ripping apart flesh thing, he is such a cute and loving kitty.
#caturday questions. 1. What is the average length of time between cleaning the carpet and a cat vomiting? 2. When your cat is on the tile and needs to vomit does he always run for the carpet? 😉
A #caturday reprise. I'm afraid I don't remember who to credit for this.
#caturday Fireball, the big orange male, lives only to hunt and kill. And get chin scratches and belly rubs. He cannot countenance for any thing to remain atop any other thing, and will swat it down... Except, he never disturbs the teddy bear atop his fuzzy cat bed. Teddy is for cuddles.
Happy #caturday from Bill the Cat. Aaaaack!

With cooler weather Fireball is turning into more of a... housecat. He sometimes passes up clear opportunities to attack and try to murder me, to instead climb on top of me, get his head rubbed, purr, and try to settle down for a nap.
No nap. He is still too big for any lap and eventually slides off - and I'm a big guy. But the affection and lack of murder are much appreciated.
There's nothing like a burnt orange mascot on #caturday for watching the Texas Alabama game. 🤘
