MANCAT MONDAY: DANTE AND DYLAN IN SUN AND WIND!

It's Mancat Monday and the two mancats have been out in the front yard again. Happily for them, it's another sunny day.

Here's Dylan on the cat bench (also used for visitors). Notice how the sun is giving him a glowing white aura. He looks so angelic, don't you think?


I love these pictures because you can actually see the beams of light! Some call them light faeries. Oh, and there's squirrelly in the background, too.


What was that? Another little black devil, perhaps?


Dylan seems to be perpetually on alert with that semi-terrified look on his face!


Oh, and here's the sun giving Dylan a kiss. He's an actual Sunkist! LOL! Isn't that sweet?


And, here's King Dante surveying his Kingdom!


Aha! Something has come within his PURRview!


Of course, it's an evil squirrel! And Dante looks like he's giving it the evil eye -- some of it's own medicine, so to speak. Seems like Mr. Squirrel is getting ready to hightail it!


Here Dante is looking very regal indeed. He's asserting his dominance once more.


The wind ripples through his Majesty's furs adding a hint of whimsy to his royal portrait.


So, all is well in the Mancats' Manor. The sun and wind have caressed them, and they feel one with nature. What a great Monday to be a Mancat and to be alive!

THANKFUL THURSDAY: SUNNY 3-Ds!

It's been sunny and relatively warm for the last several days and the 3-Ds are taking advantage of it! They've been out more than usual and just soaking up the rays.

The sun is at its peak much earlier in the day, and gives us its maximum benefit in the hours just after noon.

Each of my kitties is virtually alight! The sun has touched them all uniquely, and for this they are very thankful.


Here's Dylan checking out the scent mark on the bench. He's freshening it up a little, too.


A sunkissed Dylan is resting under the leafless tree, still partially shaded by its large trunk.


Dante turns to fire at times like this!


He's my goofy, but very hot and hunky mancat!


Domino's certainly enjoying the unseasonable warmth. Her black coat soaks in the heat like a sponge with water.


She's smiling prettily in this one. Enjoy the sun now while you can, Domino!

Here's a little extra action. Domino is talking up a storm in this one, so you might want to turn up the volume a little. I think she's telling me she wants to go back inside now. What do you think she's saying?



And Dante is talking, too! (This time with his mouth, not his 'tocks.) He definitely wants in.
I don't need any translation on this one.


Dylan wasn't saying anything at all, so that's why he doesn't have a video today. He has some upcoming releases, though, so stay tuned to this channel.

REMEMBERING TOGETHER WITH DOMINO AND MILO

Domino and Milo, a Canadian and a Brit, take a moment of silence, together, to remember those who were lost...


... so we could ALL be free!

TUXY TUESDAY: DOMINO OUT AND ABOUT!

First we have Domino sitting on our neighbour's porch. She believes that it belongs to her, so in her view it's not trespassing (or even tresPUSSing)!


Their garden is winding down like everywhere else, but it still holds fascination for the territorial feline.


Domino's about to leap!


Dante's also standing in their garden bed. It looks like both of them just spotted an evil squirrel (what else?).


Obviously, to Domino, squirrels are only of passing interest. She turns her nose to the garden decoration. It must have some pretty funky smells on it.


Domino's a very good multi-tasker, though. She can look at a squirrel and sniff stuff at the same time. You try it -- it's pretty hard to do! Something like rubbing your head and your tummy simultaneously.


Can't get enough of that thing, can you Domino? You're even crossing your eyes at it, now!


Aha! Something has taken Domino's attention away from smelly things (or has it?). Daddy could be smelly too for all we know. Domino is following Daddy down to the end of the street to the community mailbox.


And here she is on her way back. Dante is stalking her now. Of course, he can't go any further because he's leashed.


Daddy is looking back at Domino telling her to hurry up now! She tends to doddle, you know.




And as an extra-special added feature, I made a video of the rest of the trip home. Of course, it's not the best, and I hope my high-pitched voice doesn't turn everyone off. When I hear it I just want to plug my own ears.

It does illustrate Domino's sheepish ways, though. She loves to follow people -- only those she knows. And she never goes farther than the mailbox.

You'll be glad to know she and Daddy are safe and sound back at home. What an adventure she had today!

P.S. Check out our Tuxy Feature on the LOLSpot, today too!

MANCAT MONDAY: DYLAN AND DANTE DOING YARD DUTY

Another Mancat Monday, and my boys, (er mancats) are in the yard doing what they do best.

Dylan is monitoring the activity on the fenceline. He literally stops traffic when it comes to the evil squirrels who want to invade our property.



Here Dylan is just keeping an eye on the neighbourhood, in general. There's always something suspicious going on, you know.


And yes, he's spotted something! What do you think it might be?


Dante in the back yard is busy debarking up the wrong tree. However, any tree is the wrong tree when it comes to debarking. Dante is very fond of trees, though, and to him this is just a sign of affection.


Dante stops to ponder. He seems to very deep in thought, here.


Uh-oh, he's taken on his defensive stance. What do you think he might be defending against?


And for a final Mancat Monday treat, here's a short little video of Dylan and Dante doing their yard duty in motion.


We wish a happy Mancat Monday to all the mancats out there in the Cat Blogosphere and beyond!

DANTE VS. DOMINO

Some people were surprised that Domino was that much smaller than Dante and wanted to see a side-by-side of them. So, here it is -- and kind of a funny one, to boot!
