Watch Cats

Dogs aren't the only ones who are good at watching for intruders. We are great watch cats! No intruder will get by us...

Yes, we can see through closed eyes. We're skilled. Seriously.

It was a long week and we're glad it's the weekend. How was your week?

Enjoy your weekend!

Guard Dog Duty

We recently discovered there's some trouble brewing in our neighborhood. The trash man said he thought he saw a cougar in our cul-de-sac! Soon after Mommy and Daddy found this out, I heard this conversation:

Mommy: You're going to have to go out with Sadie in case there's a cougar around.
Daddy: And what am I supposed to do if there's one out there?
Mommy: Keep it away from Sadie of course!

I'm glad Mommy has the right priorites but if there's a cougar around, I need to be on full alert...
I take my Guard Dog duties very seriously and have figured out how to multi-task by looking out straight ahead while sniffing to the right...
Hey, I think my superb Guard Dog skills found something suspicious lurking in our backyard...
Well, it's not a cougar but it's an introoder nonetheless...
We're going to stay on high cougar alert until we know for sure if one's around. Daddy will be brave and go out with me at night and I'll try not to test him by making him take me out at 2am!

Hope you have a Happy (and safe) Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Sadieday!

I'm so happy it's Sadieday and especially happy it's April so that I will be able to take my mommy on lots of walks once she's done with all those tax returns. Now she says she's too busy for many walks - blah, blah, blah. Whatever. Oh well, I won't let her put a damper on my Sadieday and today we're going to tour my yard and I'll show you how I watch out for neighbor cats. I always sniff for cats when I go out on my deck...

If there aren't any to chase off up here, I go down to my yard and sniff around there too...

Always take the time to smell the flowers!

I think I hear the neighbor dogs out in their yard too...

It's important to compare notes on any neighborhood introoders...

The yard seems secure from any unwanted neighbor cat or squirrel...

My work is done here so let's go in for treats!

Hope you have a treat filled Sadieday too!

Introoder!

Through a rain speckled window in the morning light, an orange introoder dared to stare at the unsuspecting occupants inside...

Until the resident guard dog showed up and promptly caused the introoder to poof up and run away...

Of course the guard dog was rewarded with a treat or two for getting the introoder off the rain slicked roof!

Another Introoder?

What is happening to MY front yard? Is there a sign out there that says "Cats welcome here"?

Remember how I told you about the neighbor cats Dooney & Bourke introoding on MY property? Well, they obviously put out a memo about MY property because you see that?...

It's their big sisfur Jasper!

She is looking so comfy and cozy on MY rocks that Mommy thought something was wrong with her so at first I was a little concerned but only because Mommy was concerned. After carefully watching her breathe, and seeing her move, my concern was gone and once again I had to contend with an introoder on MY property! I mean, can she feel any more at home?

I was asked on my last post if I bark at the introoders and no, I don't bark at them - I only bark when a human walks up my driveway and especially up to my front door. I do chase the introoders when they come into my fenced yard but so far I haven't caught them yet - they are quick little brats. I don't chase my little kitty sisfurs even when they tempt me by running by me like their tail is on fire. Why do cats do this? Did they suddenly remember they have to be somewhere else and must get there at warp speed? Anyway, I need to get back to watching for introoders...

Hope you have a relaxing, non-introoder filled day!

Sadie

Introoders!

I can't believe what I'm seeing...

Is some kitty seriously intruding on my property?

Yep, it's the neighbor cat Dooney ignoring me while resting his butt on MY property!

And if that wasn't bad enough, do you see what's on MY property now?

It's Dooney's brofur Bourke! Look at him not even paying attention to me either...

He's eyeing my little sisfurs!

Unbelievable. Some girls may welcome Dooney & Bourke around here, but I'm not one them!

Hope you don't have any unwelcome introoders today!

Guard Dog Extraordinaire

When I'm outside in the wild, wild back yard with Mommy, I'm always on guard duty to make sure nothing tries to get in our yard like one of the neighbor cats or even an opossum. I sit with my cute patooty towards her in order to have the best vantage point to see any danger lurking.

I may be looking away from her but I'm always listening to what she's doing.

And then I check out the other side for any wayward intruders.

Can't be too cautious for my Mommy!

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to my guard duty.

Hope you have a safe and fun Monday!

Sadie
