Around our apartment building there are several stray cats. Here is a picture of one I call Patches Man. (Sorry about the bad quality of the picture, it was taken late at night without a flash.) I have a soft spot for PM. I don't really know why. He is very wild and runs away when I try to approach him. He also gets into fights with Bubbles! I've been putting out food for him, but without much success. Many people walk their dogs in the field behind out apartment where PM lives and if they don't get to the food, the ants does. I'm a little worried about him, because it looks like they are going to build on, at least part of the open field where her lives.

We are approaching our 5,000 th visitor! Yey! If you are visitor number 5,000 please let me know, because there might be a little something comming your way.

UPDATE: To see what number visitor you are, look at the Site Meter on the left, above the "I love the 2 Bs Competition" logo.

Can you tell the difference?

Our apartment building has a really nice courtyard. Bubbles and Farley (the neighbour's cat) enjoy hanging out there. They especially like dozing in the shade of two big old green plants that make for the best cat-naps.

Last week our landlord decided that the plants were getting too big and that they needed to be cut down. Now, I agree that they needed to be cut back somewhat. But was this really necessary? Here is a 'before' picture. (Click to biggify)

And the 'after' picture. Does that not look sad?

Here is a 'before' picture of the other plant. This picture was actually taken during hurricane Rita last year.

And once again, the'after' picture.

I guess we just have to wait patiently for the plants to grow again. *Sigh*

Tuxie Tuesday Too

Tuxie Tuesday Too was started by DaisyMae Maus for all the cute Tuxies out there. I'm a bit late posting the pictures, cause I wanted to take some new pics of Mrs. B, but she was not in the mood. Well, I bribed her with some treats, so here are some pics of a very cranky Mrs. B.

Also check out some other Tuxies at: House of the (Mostly) Black Cats, 2Carolina Cats, Manx Mnews, Whisper and Rocky's Ramblings.

A (hopefully) Fun Competition.

Take a picture with the 'I love the 2Bs' logo and win!

If you cannot, or don't want to take a "real" picture, you can also add the logo to an existing picture using computer software. I have no idea what the prizes will be yet, but I imagine kittycrack or stinky goodness might be involved.

I created a "I love the 2 Bs" blog where you can find more details about where to send the pictures as well as example pictures. There are 3 catagories you can compete in. I will post all the submitted pictures on that blog. You can also reach that blog by clicking on the "I love the 2 Bs" logo on the left. (BTW, I shamelessly stole this idea from Lucy.)

The deadline for the competition is 31 Oct 2006.

Trying to teach Mrs. B with Treats

As you all know Mrs. B is on a diet, so she has to work for her treats. Last night I was about to put the treats in the ball, and then I wondered whether I could teach her to sit up for her treats like Rascal and Catzee. BTW, I using the treats Skeezix sent in his party pack.

OK, she is definately interested in the treats.

Left paw up.

Right paw up.

Both feet off the ground!

Ouch!

Well, both her front feet were off the ground, so I count that as a success! Now I just have to get her to sit pretty and let me give her the treat. I hope I have fingers left by the time she learns that.
