For some odd reason, Hobbes thinks we can't see him when he hides under the cuttings. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is orange AND he is very large. He is not invisible by any means.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like his positive attitude though.</div>

Anybody home? Or is everyone feeling as laid back as Red Kitty?<br />
<br />
We're back in our summer camper mode here, working at the campground. Yep, the old camping kitties meme......<br />
<br />
Man this camper seems small compared to our new digs in town, but with new scratching posts in every possible corner, with all the windows open, with a big cozy bed to lounge on, I guess everyone is doing as well as possible. I'd be so happy if this group of felines could pitch in and help me some as there's too much work to do here....but at least I have them to keep me warm at night. You see, it's been around 34F the past couple of nights--forget Three Dog Night--I've got a Three Cat Night......no doubt we'll be complaining about the heat any day now....<br />
<br />
So Red Kitty wants to know, wassup with all the other red kitties out there???<br />
<br />

Red Kitty is 11 years old! Nominally, I celebrate on January 1, but in fact, it's a mystery when he was really born. He wandered into our lives in July: just waltzed onto our tiny farm in Iowa, and immediately caused me and my 3 stepdaughters to fall head over heels in love. A trip to our vet gave us a guestimate of his age, got him the health seal of approval, got him "snipped" and after that, into our household (& hearts) he moved for good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When my marriage ended a year later, Red moved to Illinois with me. We've been through a lot together the past 11 years! </div>

You know, where you start to feel overwhelmed and stressed, and boxes and decorations suddenly come to life. <br />
<br />
How come the cats love all of this chaos so darn much?

<br />
The family being myself, my son, my daughter, our cat Maddux and our other cat Irish. Poor Maddux is outnumbered.<br />
<br />
My
girlfriend made a point of telling me and the kids that her cat is very
independent, does not like to be petted, picked up, or given treats. I
think she even used the word "skid-dish" when she described how Lucy
was around other people, even members of her own family.<br />
<br />
Well...Lucy,
you had only met me once prior to the move in, and now...she is my
pal. Lucy takes treats from me, lets me pick her up, lets me pet her,
and has even slept on my feet.<br />
<br />
Initially Lucy just
hissed at Maddux and Irish. Poor Maddux, our resident Lothario...he was
sooo trying to woo Lucy. He followed her everywhere, she would just
hiss at him. Irish was constantly on the attack when Lucy was out.<br />
<br />
Now...Lucy
is breaking up cat fights between Irish and Maddux. My girlfriend saw
Irish and Maddux fighting at the top of the stairs and Lucy just
watching...watching to make her stealth move. She accessed the
situation, jumped and landing right in the middle of the fight. Irish
and Maddux scattered, one went upstairs, the other down. Lucy then sat
guard at the top of the stairs.<br />
<br />
Now Lucy wants to be
freed from her little bed in the master bedroom closet. She paws the
door to get out, just like the other 2 cats. She's also padding around
the house, not caring if she brushes past one of the kids (early on she
would hiss and run).<br />

So the other night my girlfriend said "you broke my kitty". And I said "great title for a blog post."<br />

Early frosts, colder nights in the camper but Red and Mariah have it right!! Less than 3 weeks 'til camground closing day and I'm finally beginning to organize my new townhouse so we can "move indoors" all together, very soon. I'm so relieved I'm getting to the end of this unbelievable summer. And I'm very sure that soon, when Dakota (the dog) and the three cats are all back in a "real house" they will (first) freak out totally and then (second) make it their new home.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, with nights in the lower 40's and lower still, I benefit from kitty heat, too. Purrmeister sleeps on or near my head, Red Kitty prefers my left side and Mariah likes my feet. Of course, when they are all weighing down my comforter like that, I'd better not plan on moving. <br />

morning hiding in various spots in the master bedroom. Yesterday I
started working on cleaning out my closet and I nearly jumped out of my
skin when I pulled a box out of my closet and there she was. She would
not let me take her out, Ms. Attitude would have none of that. She
didn't eat, drink or use the litter box until this morning when I told
my gf that she needed to put her in the bathroom where her box and food
were and just shut the door. She'll figure it out eventually. She did,
she used the litter box and had a snack.<br />

<br />
After
about 2 hours my son let her out of the bathroom when Irish and Maddux
were out. It was kind of like a prize fight where they kind of circled
around each other and gave each other the evil eye. Then Bubba made a
beeline for her sofa, stood on the arm, plotting her exit and jumped
down and under the end table and hid there until Irish and Maddux went
back upstairs. Maddux did manage to hiss at her once, that was about
it.<br />

Dog Days? I think not. Cats somehow seem to have the corner on chilling when it's extra hot. <br />
<br />
Well, at least Hobbes does. <br />
<br />
The term "Dog Days of Summer" comes from the dog star, Sirius, being high in the sky at this time of year. Is there a cat star, I wonder? There should be.<br />

The heat wave is unrelenting, unless you count a handful of cooler nights. The camping kitties are no fools. There's an air conditioner directly above this part of the camper. So lounging cats litter the floor. It looks REALLY funny when they are all on their backs with tummies splayed upwards. Kind of reminded me of a battlefield aftermath at first glance....ewwww....<br />
<br />
Hope you're all either a.) beating the heat in your own ways or, better yet b.) not subjected to this record breaking taste of hell that has descended on parts of middle America. We're in a serious drought here. The pond is at least a foot low; the corn crop is probably ruined after a beautiful start; I'm becoming concerned about some of the trees that, despite their deeper roots, are showing stress now, too....<br />

Red Kitty, Mariah and the Purrmeister spent their first weekend in my camper. We had a tricky adjustment period, that first 24 hours, and then, since all the comforts of home are right here, things settled down.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRwDCfcl9kVE6UTtWHhL150UWa5U66TOA5edmba3Zv6849cDEmuDsNzsY-gJ5Fn6KjtZtQfAItJCMqXd12qYdQNBMavZlyM2vXPip4azFz7waEn_tz1sLJsB0siFMhG2YHwqd7xbuM3no/s1600/IMG_0713.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRwDCfcl9kVE6UTtWHhL150UWa5U66TOA5edmba3Zv6849cDEmuDsNzsY-gJ5Fn6KjtZtQfAItJCMqXd12qYdQNBMavZlyM2vXPip4azFz7waEn_tz1sLJsB0siFMhG2YHwqd7xbuM3no/s320/IMG_0713.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5740405823933637458" border="0" /></a>We'll probably make a habit of this: weekends at the campground. My theory is this is good practice for the <a href="http://willoaksstudio.blogspot.com/2012/04/american-dream.html">"big move" we'll make to the new home</a> later in the summer. Though Purrmeister lived here a couple of summers ago, the two older cats have never been anywhere except to the vet....so it's all a grand experiment.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG1oVqXuRXSvQEQ3dBtimuvwJ8YW2p-Fvc20-Kn6fM_eXooviSg10UK9VQDMky3gv7YfqQ8lDmcQIWcFnps85T1_4ck3TiJ4zzw1fUt4mGvQapbZdCsToP_irT9KY1v4OjRrQv-frGr9Y/s1600/IMG_0715.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG1oVqXuRXSvQEQ3dBtimuvwJ8YW2p-Fvc20-Kn6fM_eXooviSg10UK9VQDMky3gv7YfqQ8lDmcQIWcFnps85T1_4ck3TiJ4zzw1fUt4mGvQapbZdCsToP_irT9KY1v4OjRrQv-frGr9Y/s320/IMG_0715.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5740405730754437506" border="0" /></a>I arranged a rug collection on the bed for them to lounge upon, and installed a little table for window watching. I plan to hang a few bird feeders in view for their pleasure, and so far, not too much fighting with me, a dog and three cats jockeying for space to move around.
