Romp in the Backyard

It is always an adventure following the cats around the backyard and attempting to capture any Kodak moments. It tends to be difficult as they don't stay still for long. Blossom was a bit more cooperative this afternoon. Here are the best photos I got along with a random snapshot of a hibiscus tabletop that my mom bought since my last visit.

Joelle & Blossom

Joelle was sleeping on the couch on her blanket one night when Blossom came out to join her.  They immediately started grooming each other and cuddling.  Of course, I ran to get my camera!

Joelle Relaxing on Chair

Here's Joelle (Mom's cat) on one of her favorite blankets on the chair.

Joelle and I have an...interesting...relationship. The very first night I met her (Thanksgiving of 2009), she jumped in my lap and stayed there for hours while I watched TV. Flash forward a year and she's hissing at me every time I try to pet her (and sometimes when I'm just in the near vicinity!)

She's fine when my mom pets her, just not me (or my sister). We do seem to have some temporary truces when she rubs on me, lets me pet her, etc. It's usually when she wants something from me, though (like playing with her or letting her outside).

We keep saying that one day we're going to have to consult a pet psychic or a cat whisperer to figure out what the heck is going on...
