The whole farmy has turned camera shy all of a sudden. Yesterday afternoon TonTon and I took the camera on our rounds, but the sun fell in behind massive clouds, the light dropped and no-one would co-operate. TonTon hoped to see a decent Play Cat-Fight , but even Thing Two was totally lacking in interest.
“Hey Thing!. C’mon. Play with me. play with me. Hey. Hey. Thing! Don’t be boring! 
Ha ha ha, that tickles.. Play some more. Come on!! 
Come on Thing Two, Play with me! Do it again. Tickle my Tummy! Do it again! Do it again. 
Oh no. I touched Thing Two’s face. I didn’t mean it! I didn’t mean it ! I forgot The Rule! I’m just a little kitty. How am I supposed to – NO! Not the bottom! Don’t sit on me. Sitting on top of Kitty’s is mean…. aahh, I can’t breathe.
can’t… breathe..
Help Me. Miss C. Help me. (gasp) He says he is going to sit on me until I learn to behave myself. What does that mean? Miss C. How do I do the behave thing!? Help me! I can’t breathe. Help! Ok I’ll be good. Get off. I’ll be good. I promise!” 
Mary’s cat has promised to be good. From now on, when the Farmy is having a quiet day, he is going to be gentle and sweet. We’ll see.
Then this morning at dawn, as the cats, dogs and I went out to feed the cows, chooks and sheep we saw this: Through the window of the truck.
Good morning!

I am laughing so hard I have tears running down my face. LOVE IT! The cat headlock and the sitting on the other one – HILLARIOUS:) Thanks for sharing – needed a good laugh on a Thursday morning.
Sometimes we don’t have to look very far for a laugh do we!! c
Lovely shots, c. I really like the frost shot with the beautiful colors in the backround. Our dog, Dug, keeps trying to get our cat to play. Unfortunately the cats idea of playing with the dog is to ingnore him while the dog dances around practically shouting “Play, Come Play”.
Oh I can just see it! Poor Dog whose name is Dug.. cool name.. c
Stunning frost picture!!!
Frost can be so nice when you’re sitting in the (relative) warm.
And it was not too bad outside today either.. so all good. c
Fantastic pictures (and as for that one with the frost…Oh, almost makes me miss frost!). The cat ones made me laugh as I am constantly trying to get pictures of Luna and Alfi playing but they just turn out looking like doggy porn when in fact all they are doing is tumbling around 🙂
Yes well there was certainly that risk with these two, but ah well! c
The frost picture is beautiful and ah the cats look so very cute.
Lovely fun pics of the kitties, our two refuse to play together, the female cats is very grumpy.
That is interesting as all my cats are males.. go figure.. they just play or sleep all day.! c
That last shot is absolutely gorgeous! And what sweet cats, annoying and entertaining each other at the same time.
It is gorgeous and i know that the last shot does not fit the theme but it was taken within the prerequisite 24 hours.. and i could not leave it out forever.. c
I LOVE the one of Thing Two sitting on Mary’s Cat…Made my day. 🙂
Esp as he is sitting and looking at something else! c
I love the pic of Thing Two sitting on his pal. A picture is worth a 1000 words. That one might be worth three or four thousand.
Don’t we wish!! c
Beautiful frosty photo! I love “Thing Two” – HA! Reminds me of my eldest when little – we read Dr. Seuss and she called ’em “Sing One” and “Sing Two.”
That is so cute..I love reading Dr Seuss to kids, no matter how often and I have FIVE so it was often, i loved the movement in his words, the song in his lines, she was not far wrong your daughter.. c
Wow! what a stunning picture of the ice crystals in the truck window.
Cheers

Thank you Marcus..
At one time — years ago, thank the Almighty — I had 3 cats and 2 dogs. The cats were fully matured when the 2 puppies came into the house. They got along famously, almost too good. When they were in full play mode, it was like watching wildebeest on the Serengeti. Hmmm … I think I’ll take Max for a walk.
I would have gone MAD if I had three cats and two dogs tearing around the house, at least here only one cat and one dog come in and they sit quietly. Though now I am imagining the mayhem if there had been a parrot flying along above the mayhem squawking. No.. best i do not imagine that!! c
Love it, thank you!
You are so welcome.. c
Oh that last shot is fantastic! Can’t believe that was just through the truck window. Your kitties sure look like they are having fun.
Hi geni, I need to pop over and see what is happening in your kitchen.. c
Super pictures, they gave me a chuckle or two! 😀 Cats are so entertaining. 😉
Great start to my day, thanks C.
Thanks barb, i know you love the cats, so easy to smile when they are about! c
