Hannah and the CoalBear: All the Cute Photos

Hi. I’m Mateo the CoalBear.

Yes, I am standing in the trash basket. I don’t want to talk about it.

I’ve been really busy helping the Mother of Cats as she works on her little projects. She quilts sometimes (and I have discovered that if I am in the trash under the sewing machine she will spend lots and lots of time talking to me!!), she sews bags for donation, she knits, and she spends time out on the catio reading her books while I hunt for grasshoppers and stuff to chase. I just love it out on the catio! The Mother of Cats took an old cat tree out there for me to hang out on, and that is even more special. Look at how cool I look!!

I keep my claws sharp on this old cat post!! Do you like my handiwork?

The last two weeks the Mother of Cats has been making lots of trips out of the house, and when she stays home on us, she works on her octopus. Hannah loves the octopus!!! She always visits while the Mother of Cats is knitting to try to get a little taste test of the yarns. Hannah is really tenacious (Hello! She’s a cat!!!), but so far, she hasn’t actually been able to actually chomp any yarn and the octopus is safe. Do you want to see how he is looking these days? The Mother of Cats took him out for a little trip to the rock stream in the front yard.

He has 3 and a half tentacles done now, but he is starting to really look good, huh!

The Mother of Cats has been taking lots of pictures lately of fun things, so I thought that I would spend the rest of the post today showing off the pictures. Are you ready? Here we go!

Hannah always watches the Mother of Cats when she goes outside. Here she is at the front screen door watching the octopus on his outing this morning.
Or maybe she was watching this rabbit hanging out in the front yard…
Anyway, let’s get back to the silly stuff the Mother of Cats does. She bought these fish for her rock stream in the front yard. I want a real fish!!! Why doesn’t the Mother of Cats pay better attention to my needs. Tuna fish would be best!!!
While we’re talking about fun… do you see who came to visit me out on the catio? The Mother of Cats wouldn’t let me play with him… Why does she act this way?

Well, that is all for the day. The Mother of Cats just took the octopus out again EVEN THROUGH IT IS TIME TO GO OUT ON THE CATIO and I’m going to go have a few words with her about her priorities. Maybe there are some grasshoppers out there, and if we wait until it gets dark my raccoon buddy might stop by.

This is Mateo, signing off.

Notes from the Mother of Cats:

The octopus is Opus the Octopus.

The bunny has a beard growing on his face that is a viral infection that is benign and not contagious to cats and humans. I call him BlackBunny.

I’ve stopped putting out seed for the birds because… raccoons!!! There were five of them in the yard the night I took that photo.
