Martha's Adventures at the shore........

Well little Miss Martha is at the shore for a week, she has a few hiding spots but let's start out with the continuous, yes, continuous meowing at night.  She has slowed down she meows at midnight and by 2a.m.  She is just very 'unsettled' here, a totally new place for her, so she is getting use to it.  And with just her, Thomas and i here for a few days alone, she will get the hang of the shore house.

Now for the hiding spots. yes the ole behind the washer machine, that's a bit old, she goes up under the corner cabinets.  One day Gary is watching TV, now trust me this house at the shore is NO mansion, you sit in the living room chair and look into the kitchen about 10 feet so as he is sitting in the chair, he see's Martha going to the corner cabinets and VANISHES GONE! bye-bye. He goes over to the cabinets sticks his hand up in a hole we never closed up where the two cabinets meet, why? WHO would go up there, yes, Martha.
So we stuffed foam in there, she pulls it out and in she goes.  Now you do know it's a fact of life you GROW as you get older.  Well today I had to go outside, Miss Martha pulls out the foam and in the hole she goes. I see she went in there, I call her, call her and as I sit and 'wait' I see a paw come out, then vanish, come out of the hole and vanish.  I think if she gets stuck, I'm done.  But we have a trap door under out sink so we can reach and turn on the outside faucet.  Well under the kitchen sink I go and move all my stuff, and open the trap door, MARTHA GET OUT!!! suddenly her little face peaks out, OHH NEAT a door! and out she came.  I send Gary a email, yes he is home, well working, and tell him about Martha and the trap door.  So we have to close up the hole she is getting bigger and i just don't need her stuck getting into her hiding spot.

So that's Martha's adventure at the shore, I'm sure there will be more, it's Martha

The "new" cat in the house...........

Yep, you read right, there is a new cat in the house.......

I am taking a shower, getting ready, Gary comes to the door.

"Martha does not like the new cat in the house"
?? WHAT new cat?
"The new other female cat in the house"
WHAT are you talking about.
And I'm trying to get ready for work and it's probably 4:20 a.m.
"Martha found a new cat in the toaster oven reflection, her back is all hunched up and she does not like it.
Great !

So Miss Martha has a new friend in the toaster, her, yes HER reflection.  She is very curious of this 'other' cat, it seems to do the same as she does, even hunches it's back at her.

So Martha will look for her friend every now and then just to see if 'it's' still there

it is

One Paw.....

One Paw, oh no a animal with one paw, NO.  It's the local raccoon that hangs out at the dry food bowl and eats with, yes, one paw. 

One Paw, well One Paw has had friends with her and they trashed the joint, broke my picnic table and just trashed the joint!  One Paw get on the table, and enjoys dry cat food.  One Paw is rather fat, large and fat.  One Paw sits and puts one paw on the edge of the bowl and eats with, yes, One Paw.

We have watched One Paw thru the back door, like One Paw is going to run! ha ha and we have watched her eat with her one paw, doesn't bother anyone, eats and then gets off the table, with ease ?? sort of.

We have seen many of the raccoons become acrobats trying to get on the table, hanging, swinging, clawing sometimes it's rather funny. 

But good ole One Paw just stops by for a snack, rather cute, but still please go find some one else's table to eat off of, One Paw is rather fat.
