Curled feet

Look how Daisy curls her back feet when she sleeps.

Later I made some noise and woke her up.

Messing on the couch

This is what I found in the morning.

Come scratch my neck please.

Birds and tree

Lots of robins are out and about.   This morning I was worried I may have to get a ladder to rescue Daisy from this box elder tree again.  But she stopped climbing and got back down to the ground.

Balloon

Tammy had an extra helium balloon from her last weekend Treasure Market.

Daisy usually is leery of balloons.  This balloon is against the ceiling so that may be why she is okay with the balloon.

Sometimes she plays with or chews on the ribbon tied to the balloon which causes the balloon to bump and move along the ceiling.

Normal sleeping

For once Daisy is not sleeping on her back.

Today Daisy was pretty active.

A little after 6 am Daisy got me out of bed so she could go outside even though I tried to ignore her.  At 8:30 pm she meowed loudly for me to get up to let her back in the house.  I went back to bed to sleep a little more.  After she ate some food she came meowing at me until I finally gave up and got out of bed.  Daisy didn't want to go outside - she wanted me to get out of bed.

After some running around the house she followed me outside the house when I dumped the wood stove ashes in the hayfield.  When I went to the pole shed to get firewood Daisy went into ninja mode.  Out of the corner of my eye I saw her run into another part of the pole shed.  She hid under some material.  Minutes later when I walked by the tool shed Daisy ran behind me and around the back of the tool shed to hide.  More ninja action.

Around 11 am she settled down and came back in the house and chilled out on the back of the couch.

In the evening after Tammy and I got back from setting up her Treasure Market to be held on Saturday, I did a little work in the corral.  More ninja action from Daisy as she would run here and there and then hide from me as I moved around the corral.

I don't know why Daisy is in ninja mode right now.

Playing dead

"Daisy... play dead."

"Daisy, show us how you play dead."

Actually Daisy was snoring when Tammy took this photo.

Snuggie sleeping

Daisy woke me up after 5 am, woke me again at 6 am and then went outside.  Came in at 10 am.  After that she stuck like glue to be near me.  By the time Tammy came back home at 4 pm from her Washington trip Daisy was nodding off.  So no big celebration to see Tammy.  Instead, once Tammy came home, Daisy claimed Tammy's spot on the loveseat and her snuggie and was out like a light.  She didn't even stir when I took a photo of her.  Usually Daisy settles down for her nap by noon or 1 pm.

Sleepy morning

Daisy slept in this morning.  Mostly.  She did come by after 6 am and scratched on the bed and closet door briefly.  But I think it was because of habit.  Once I got up a few hours later Daisy was sleeping on the back of the couch.

She may sleep in again.  After she slept all this afternoon I got her up and out to help me work in the corral and NE pasture this evening.  She ran off some of her energy.  No sleeping on my lap today - yet.

Stair sitting

Looking back at Tammy

Lap cat

Daisy is not a lap cat.  She prefers to lay against you.  However Tammy is in Washington state on a business trip and to visit my relatives.  Daisy is missing her.  The first evening Daisy would meow in the evening asking where Tammy was.  When I asked Daisy if she was missing Tammy Daisy would look over to the loveseat where Tammy usually sits.

Last night Daisy insisted on laying on my lap while I typed on the computer.  Usually Daisy lays on the table next to me. The last time Daisy laid on my lap was last year when Tammy was away.  This afternoon when I chatted with my brother on Skype Daisy insisted on laying on my lap again.  Even when I got up to check on the wood stove fire Daisy would get on my lap again when I sat down again.

She rarely lets me out of her sight during the day.

This morning Daisy was insistent on waking me up around 5 am.  Eventually I got up after 6 am and discovered her food dish was almost empty.  Tammy always makes sure Daisy has plenty of food.  I filled her dish with food and went back to bed.

Before Tammy left Daisy knew what was going on after I got Tammy's suitcase from the basement.  It was sitting there unopened.  Tammy walked by not wearing socks or slippers.  Daisy wrapped her paws around Tammy's feet with claws out and then bit Tammy's foot.  I think Daisy was unhappy Tammy was going to leave once again.  She did try to sneak in the suitcase once when it was open later.

Old catnip

I had planted catnip last year.  Winter came and I didn't get around to harvesting it.  The snow melted and Daisy spent part of a day rolling in it.  That is, until she got distracted by some large birds in the front yard.  All of a sudden she took off like a flash and ran to the bunkhouse.
