"Squatting" at the "Cat House"

I visit this "cat house" often, and yesterday claimed "squatters' rights" when there was a scheduled power outage in the village. Usually, within minutes of my occupying a chair, Bobcat lays claim to my lap.

Yesterday, as I sat down to work, dowager cat, Olive, beat him to it.

Olive:  supervising

He was not impressed.

Bob:  not happy

There, she cuddled for the next two hours as I worked on the stoep on an unusually warm, balmy winter's day.

Olive:  settled and going nowhere

Bob subsided.

Bob - Sulking

Sulking?

Perhaps.

Until next time

I must say this cat house is beautiful, I'm sure you visit there often in summer as well! The air is chilly here, but at least the sun is out. Have a lovely Wednesday, Fiona.
PS my Poe is a real ninny, is being bullied by someone's brown cat, so he's spending very little time outside😅

I do, I visit regularly. Poor poe! My own, are all in sulking mode: with me, the house and each other! The sooner this is done, the better for us all.

In the meantime, we have gone from sizzling to freezing 🥶 😬 🤗

I am very sad that I can't take Poe with me when I move! We've both grown so attached to each other and he's been such a comfort the past two years! He'll stay on here, Bonginkosi and Cynthia will alternate so one of them will be with him all the time.

Oh, my. That would have been a deal breaker for me. But good that he doesn't have to move and can stay with Bongi ans Cynthia 😸

I have a cat too, and she always takes over my chair the second I stand up. Olive really knows how to take charge — poor Bob! Haha. I love how your cats have such personalities. It’s fun seeing how they 'supervise' your work.

These aren't my cats: I was visiting friends. That said, I do have three who do rule!

Let me guess your a cat lover, though I'm not fun or a lover of a cat but I love watching them.

My cat lover daughter got attracted to the cats in your photos, maybe you are a cat lover too.

I can picture that moment so clearly sunshine, fresh air and a cuddly cat. Even without power, it sounds like a peaceful and happy break from the usual routine.
