Percivale also likes to ambush John and me from his cat play tube. Here he’s using it like a fort. I wasn’t supposed to come around this side to see him.

This fern is huge, so it’s spending the winter in the front room where there is just barely enough space and light for it. It’s in a spot where Percivale can hide in it then ambush John and me. Usually we see him coming, but it’s still a fun game–as long as he keeps his claws and teeth to himself.

Once again we interrupt your regularly scheduled Cat of the Day posts with “The 12 Days of Catmas”

On the second day of Catmas we have Perry walking in his tacky Christmas sweater. Don’t tell him, but it’s size “guinea pig.”

Ok, so these aren’t great photos, but I’m sharing them as an example of what it’s like walking Percivale.

In photo #1, we have Spike dominating our neighbor’s lawnmower. He’s perched on it as the highest point around so he can show that he’s the boss.

In photo #2 we have Perry running up to smack Spike down a notch. The photo is especially blurry because my phone camera is terrible and because Perry’s leash was jerking my arm as I took it.

Perry spends a lot of his time outside trying to beat up the other cats. Perry is bad at being a cat, so none of the other cats really understand what he’s trying to do. Still, sometimes Spike will let Perry chase him around for fun.

More of Mark “helping” me in the garden at the end of October.

A Cat a Day: December 7

More photos of Percivale climbing the redbud tree, getting overstimulated because he climbed the tree, and then cussing at the tree for getting him so overstimulated. Perry is a mess.
