(Vacuum cleaners aside, though I did have one cat learn to stare down the vacuum cleaner that dared get too close to his tail, and the person operating the vacuum cleaner learned to back off accordingly.)<br /><br />I think this is a large part of the reason why I love cats.Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477498671080132176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-29547917164288739762011-11-22T06:32:14.875-08:002011-11-22T06:32:14.875-08:00Amazing what you put up with if you want something...Amazing what you put up with if you want something badly enough!

They stay outside in the storm. Mostly because they have nowhere to go.<br /><br />When the weather drops to 0°F, it would be nice if they had a warm place to sleep.<br /><br />I'm sure Newkie is slowly learning to adapt to her surroundings, as others have suggested. Up here, not so sure about some of the Humans.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-28357587660659431862011-11-19T14:37:31.269-08:002011-11-19T14:37:31.269-08:00Fun watching your cat's adjustment to a new en...Fun watching your cat's adjustment to a new environment.

We are expecting perhaps black ice on the roads tomorrow, and Portland has some snow. <br />When all is said and done, I think Newkie will be happy to see an Oregon spring but she sure has some sights and sounds to learn about before that. This whole squirrel business is going to keep her mind sharp and her body in twitch-ready condition, thereby increasing her good health.
