I was trying to take a fresh picture of Bob in his window, checking out the new snow (which clipped the goddamned power again last night … I digress) but he wouldn’t hold still: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50686446618_a2bc082979_z.jpg "Peek a boo") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/183290460@N02/50686446618/) ---

(I haven’t spent enough time on the new boards to figure out the picture thing. So you’re getting links 🙂 ) [This is my sweet Velcro](https://www.instagram.com/p/CE5DIQoJo4q/). Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to him in early September after a short, sudden illness. I was gutted and still miss him terribly. [Rocket J. Squirrel](https://www.instagram.com/p/CFp3jLPJGoM/) was not happy as a solo cat , and so I started looking at other cats sooner than I might have without him. [Juno](https://www.instagram.com/p/CH29gdwpVFQ/) is almost 6 months old and I adopted her in October. These two get along fantastically. It’s ridiculous and delightful. ---

I agree. That was much more artistic and evocative than a posed picture. Almost a photobomb. I guess that makes it a photoBob! (Photobomb with a stuffy nose.) ---

We have a greenbelt behind my house, lined with fences on either side, runs about 1 mile or so, full of deer, raccoons, possums and stuff, perfect to take a leashless Luna out for sniff and barks.

I fixed up a nice memory foam pillow in front of the window with the curtain pulled back and everything. So of course, she sits on a pile of books facing the other way. (BTW, she is wearing her [BirdsBeSafe collar](https://smile.amazon.com/Birdsbesafe-Cat-Collar-Cover/dp/B00JKSV2C8/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=birdsbesafe+collar&qid=1608564844&sr=8-3). In addition to no more dead/live birds being brought into the house, I can spot her half a block away.)

> [@SCAdian](#): > > Those things are wonderful – but how do you get it to stay on the bed?- HA! That is _definitely_ a problem. I have a queen-size bed and the poncho liner is big enough to extend across the whole width of the bed. And even though I sleep alone, I sleep on one side. So I anchor the poncho liner with two pillows at the foot of the bed on the other side from where I sleep. It would probably work better with anvils… but the pillows do a pretty good job of holding it in place. Sometimes there’s a cat sleeping on top of me and that helps, too. ---
