It's been a big year for Charlemagne. #CatsOfMastodon #Adoptiversary

And finally, after a long day of lying down and napping, it's time for bed. His sleep will be broken up with occasional forays to murder his puffball toys or the occasional small rodent. The End (until breakfast time).

Once it's full dark he likes to go for another wander and I'll often find him under a parked car. I hate this. It's dangerous. Sometimes he's willing to come right back in, others he makes me squat down and chivvy him out from under and back inside, but I think at that point he's just fucking with me.

He will - grudgingly - come back inside when it's treat time. Grudgingly because the licking stick is how I bribe him to accept brushing, of which he Does. Not. Approve but with that coat it has to be done. I still end up cutting out mats on a regular basis.

This is the part of his day of which I don't approve. From the wall it's just a couple of hops down to the outside world. He'll hang out there in the twilight and greet his street buddies from before he decided we were his staff. I wish I could persuade him to stay in the garden.

In the late afternoon the best shaded spot is up on the garden wall. From this perch he can also watch the world go by.

...or another favored place, among the coils of the hose. Why? Cats.

After lunch the napping will recommence. He has some flexibility in this part of his day. Perhaps some couch time...

It's amazing how silently he moves. At some point in the afternoon while I'm working I'll glance down and there he'll be, letting me know it's lunchtime. Now.

Next stop as the sun swings around is this little niche.

On a box, in a box! #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon #IfitfitsIsits

He does not seem bothered by this heat even with all that fur. #Caturday #CatsOfMastodon

Our beautiful autistic kitty. A spinning ceiling fan would freeze him in place until you shut it off. #Caturday past
