The Qrious Qrmudgeon

(reasonably*) Open-minded Nerd; gay & married, too…and of an age before any of that was mass-marketably cool. Proud of all stated traits.

Maddie showing off her athletic abilities,

possibly to start a competition with brother Harvey.

Typical reaction from him.

Maddie has finally, fully taken to/over The Wheel.

Here she is having a run without any physical lure/prompt from #CatDad.

Success. ☺️

The #FurKids taking a break from Kittywood Park in their favorite chair, since #CatDad isn't using it as his writing nook.☹️

The #FurKids still enjoy #KittywoodPark, but also love any opportunity to bask in the sunshine, just-right temperatures and fresh air.

This was that day.

Kittywood Park still has spaces for the #FurKids to relax with #CatDad, because…FurKids. 😻😸

Harvey had been under the weather for the past couple of weeks, but has recovered and really thrown himself back into helping Maddie with being #CatDad #Sleepervisor .

Success! Maddie's first run on #TheWheel !

More since, and she so far always requires a #CatDad partner for incentive, but our Princess is training up to Warrior!

Harvey getting the hang of The Wheel, the landmark attraction as #KittywoodPark .

He has been enjoying the ride, but both #CatDads are still hoping his big* sister Maddie will give it a go soon.

FYI, I set myself up by calling this an amusement park; of course, those aren't christened* until someone throws up in a ride.

#FurKids took care of that last week.

Glad the tunnels are polyester.

Another in a majority of wonderful days spent

enjoying & appreciating each other.

Forty years.

Not always smooth sailing,

but we always get where we need to be.

Thanks to:

#LittleBrother Greg Merlin for

(among many other reasons)

the gift of the vintage photo

as well as the setting for today's selfie,

and to Dane Dales for

(1) playing Cupid at crucial times

&

(2) the cookies to celebrate the event.

Expanded playground into amusement park.

One more attraction to add.

Stay tuned.

#Caturday

This is a relatively recent routine:

"Pudding & Playtime"

Mid-afternoon #CatDad whips up a blend of soft treat pate & vitamin powder for the #FurKids, then gets all the toys & gym equipment running.

Quite a hit so far.

As #CatDad I'm admittedly biased, but I think the was the #ShelterSiblings sleep…holding hands, feet, and even tails, is just adorable AAG*.
