Spike Sneaks off with a new toy

We were just getting supper ready when we heard the sound of Spike running back and forth in the hallway. As we looked around the corner we saw him quickly turn away from us and head off to the foot of the stairs to chew on whatever he had in his mouth. Closer inspection showed that he had taken off with a thin decorative strip of leather that was originally attached to the new blouse I just bought. I had taken it off because I didn't really like it and I had placed it on the dresser. Apparently Spike liked it better than I did and he decided it was his new toy for the evening.

The Farm Cat

My friend sent me photos of this darling little cat she refers to as her "farm cat". Coincidentally, it is also named "Angel", although my friend said that "Devil" might be more appropriate! As you can see by this progression of photos Angel has found something quite interesting. There is a branch above her that she has decided to jump up and grab. She was successful in her first attempt - but unfortunately moved too quickly for my friend to get a clear photo.
