Lincie

[PFVA]

Life is never dull when there is a cat around.

I was getting ready to go to vaccination, making sure I had everything important in my purse, things such as camera, water, etc when I hear flapping sounds.

I look around and there is a cat running fast around stuck with a paper bag around her. I try to get to her but she runs out the balcony and into the yard with the bag still stuck.

There is a Problem

My phone goes beep beep, "your taxi will be there in 2 minutes. Please be ready"

Wonderful. Grab purse and head out to yard. I find the bag in pieces with no cat attached. Look up, cat is in the climbing shrub. Taxi arrives. OK she is already fine, balcony door is open she will go back inside soon.

She did. When I got home she was asleep in the sofa.

Colder evening, she arranges the blankies in the sofa to her liking (or actually she goes to sleep in between two)

No! NOO!

Lincie was trying to play with the sleeve of my very old and comfy sweater an consequently placing a couple more holes in it

Sometimes she gets tired

Do Not Disturb

Lincie became two years old yesterday. She is an adult cat now. At least from humans point of view. It was a quiet day, she got some special food.

This morning I found her very concentrated studying possible techniques to climb the tree . There is birds on top but she is unable to get there. The branches are to high up for her to jump to, and she is now too heavy to reach it thru the ivy. She is having a problem and she is studying methods of solving it. (And I'm hoping she doesn't)

There Must be a Way

She's lovely and has a great human to look after her.

I fully agree with the first half of the sentence.

Well slowly but Lincie is starting to show more of the typical behaviour of an adult cat. The last incident was with a sansevieria. A couple of weeks ago she was sitting on the window wide sill watching the outside when suddenly one of the sansevierias (also know as St George's sword) suddenly attacked her. She jumped to escape but the sansevieria jumped too hitting her and then showered her with lots of soil. She run for safety in one of her hiding places in the living room till the plant calmed down. That's her version.

What I saw when I was smoking on the other corner of the back balcony. Lincie was watching the outside, got excited about something she saw, and walked backwards hitting the sansevieria, which overturned on top of her, and as Lincie jumped down the plant fell down too showering her and everything else around with soil. Lincie got very scared and went into hiding in the living room.


Here Lincie showing her adult behaviour and doing what adult cats like doing a lot. She is becoming an expert in arranging the covers to her liking.

The Tail

I didn't stop her of going outside this morning in spite of the warning of smog + Saharan dust which was covering the sun, actually because here in the coast was much better than yesterday. On her own after a quick check to the balcony and garage roof she decided to stay indoors. Its amazing how animals how fast animals figure out things aren't as they should.

Not a Good Day to go Outside

Camouflage

A favourite place of Lincie specially in sunny days

If a unaware insect flies in thru the balcony door she silently jumps out from behind the curtain

I came home a couple of days ago to find her

An Expert with Covers

The thing is when I'm home she meows for me to arrange the covers for her, and if I don't she starts putting her little paws in the keyboard of the laptop or in a cable nearby. If I'm away she does it, all by herself.

When Lincie's neighbour and friend came by this morning she was very busy so he decided to lie down in the sun on the garage roof

This was what kept Lincie busy this morning. The pic was not taken at the time but it was about the same.

Sleeping Lincie

She like to wake up early in the morning, go out for her bird behaviour studies and then close to mid-day she goes to sleep

Note: The 2 look a little bit similar but he is bigger and his face is different.

A relaxing morning. The sun is back. Lincie and her neighbour are playing outside in the backyard. For the last few days they have taken to play indoors in the morning because of the drizzle. Yeah, I know it's good that she plays, and that she has a friend but it get a bit ... Each of them taking turns jumping over the other, one of their favourite games, chasing colourful mice, jumping over the chair, etc. The day before yesterday I found the 2 of them inside the bathtub.

The backyard is better on a regular basis.
