What????????!!!!!!!???????

Today's Question: "Why did my favorite outdoor cat just urinate on my window screen?"

If you look behind the arbor, you can see the lower level windows almost at ground level. My office is on the other side of the front door, and the flower garden extends completely across the front of the house. So, this morning, I'm sitting here looking out the window and thinking about what I'll blog about. And suddenly, Little Britches, my favorite outdoor cat backed up to the window and just...well sprayed!! How disrespectful!  *sigh*

This is the little cat that meets me at the top of the landing every morning and refuses to move from between my ankles while I'm walking down the stairs. He loves being petted and he loves me. Um, or so I thought.

Now, I'll have to go outside and turn on the hose and clean the screen. Suddenly I don't feel like blogging.

Cats and Flower Gardens...Oh, My!!

My office is on the lower floor of our bi-level, which puts it half way underground. Thus, my windows are at ground level. Outside my windows is a beautiful flower garden. I love the colors and all the lovely bees and butterflies.

So do our outdoor cats. Even though hubby put some large chunk mulch around the plants, the cats continue to use this garden as...gasp...a litter box. As you can guess, my view is ruined when the windows are open. We've tried multiple things to discourage them, but none have worked.

I suppose, I'll have to take my laptop out to the deck to work today.

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Be sure to stop by my blog on Monday. I'll have a guest blogger, Diane Craver! She's one of my favorite authors, and people. Talk about a woman of strength and values! I'm thrilled to host her and learn more about her newest release. I hope you'll visit and leave her a comment, so she'll know you stopped by.

Thanks for stopping by!
