TW3*.

My mom's week: Battles with the bank over mysterious escrow charges, her invisible health care provider, taxes, idiotic business matters.

Our week: Having immense good fun with the sudden appearance of dimwitted pigeons trying to get busy on our balcony or watching them think they could fly inside through the sliding door from the balcony wall.

Then came the War on Pigeons.


Flying cake tins.

My mom got fed up with scaring them off every two seconds with noise and a spray bottle and hung up the tins this morning. They fly all over in the breeze, flash in the sun and occasionally clang against the stucco. So far the results are good--for Mom, anyway. We're kinda missing the whole PigeonMingle thing and we've had to go back to napping for entertainment.

Anyway, we think everything has settled down for now, so we should be back up to speed with visiting and posting soon. Have a fun weekend, everyone!

*That Was The Week That Was, for all you young cats out there.

  1. Hope your mum has everything sorted now. That is a good idea for the pigeon scarer. My mum needs to try that because two pigeons keep sitting on the patio table and pooping everywhere.

  2. While we know you guys miss seeing the pigeons,
    we know you would not want them getting hurt flying into the windows .
    We send big purrs to your Mom and hope things work out for her :)
    Purrs Georgia and Julie,
    Treasure, JJ
    and Angels Tiger and Tillie

  3. Not too long ago, my human was walking in our neighborhood and she saw a tree that was hung full of CDs... now she knows what they were for!

  4. Our Mom knows all about banking errors, tax problems, you name it and she's had it happen, too bad about the pans, we have extra seagulls we could share with you. They keep dropping shells on our house.

  6. David Frost, the object of my Human's adolescent fantasies!

    Sigh. C'mon! You could at least have put a little picture of my LCG on here.

    The Human had a "taxing" week as well. Phfffft.

  7. Cake pans! Who'd of thought that would keep the pigeons away? Sorry to hear about the mindless stuff for your mom to mess with; cats have it made!

  8. We're going to have to ask Jan to provide us with some entertainment like yours. It gets kind of boring around here. Except for the squirrels.

  9. TW3 was just a little before our human's time, but as a Tom Lehrer fan he knows some of the songs.

  10. Too bad your mom didn't like the pigeon ruckus - that sounded pretty exciting. Our mom can't blame her, though - those stoopid pigeons are messy.

  11. That is so boring of Mom. I mean yes those pigeons are dirty kaka droppers but chasing them is in our blood!

  13. Hi William, Caroline and Elliott and Mom too! Hope you all had a good Good Furiday, and hope that those pigeons came back for you to enjoy watching. If not, we could probably send you some cause there are about 9,862,348 of them here in SF and we are sure some would enjoy a nice vacation.

  15. Huh. Hoomins always stop the fun. We sometimes think that is what they are born to do !

  16. I don't see any bird on MY tv. Mom is busy spraying insecticide to kill those nasty tiny roaches. She hates them very much. I like chasing them and playing with them which of course gets Mom really mad.

  17. So is your Mom out pokin' and proddin' and test-driving some potential further additions to the fam, William? Or is she just after a cheap kitten-fix?
