KC's had a quiet week in our new home.

[George McGovern]

Just hanging out.


Watching us.


Curling up.


Toe Beans


Loves his cat tree.


Loves Mommy's recliner.


And the new couch.

[Biophilic]

1. I don't know, Allan, looks to me like KC doing the important 'kitty shake down'.

Making sure every surface is set up perfectly for a superior kitty.

[George McGovern]

7. Yes, Biophilic. Each and every toe bean-touching surface. Nothing gets by him. Thanks!

[Biophilic]

13. Oh, thank you.

I love these story series of photos. I gives me a chance to enjoy another’s story. Besides your photos are always a joy to look at.

[George McGovern]

36. Good Deal. I feel happy!

[Deuxcents]

2. Yep, giving the seal of kitty approval 😸

[George McGovern]

8. The "Good Catkeeping Seal of Approval?" Thank You Deuxcents!

3. We moved after 37 years in the same house.

Our kitty, Foggy, had a time exploring every inch of the new house, finding his new hidey holes and finding his fave blankies to nuzzle and sleep on.

[George McGovern]

9. Sounds like Foggy claimed the new house as his own. Intrepid kitty. Thank You lark!

4. KC looks so content

He's a handsome cat and he is comfortable in his new home with Shadow and his humans. Great pictures, I hope you are rested up after your move, and feeling like the new place is your home. It looks to have good natural light.

[George McGovern]

10. Thank You wendyb-NC. He does, he is and he is getting comfortable with dog and mom and dad.

We're getting there. Most all boxes are emptied out and contents put away. It is becoming home. This house has windows throughout. Lots of good natural light. Thanks for noticing!

[Polly Hennessey]

5. When toe beans stick out of the kitty condo you know all is well.

“Yes, my new home will do just fine.” KC has spoken.

[George McGovern]

11. You're so perceptive Polly. It seems you think like a cat. Thank You!

[niyad]

6. That is one contented, handsome puddy tat! But I think those

sneakers are just a tad large for his delicate paws.

[George McGovern]

12. Oh, just a tad indeed niyad. I thought about erasing them, but they were part of the scene.

Thank You for your kind comment. Been quite some time since seeing, hearing "puddy tat"!

[niyad]

14. Oh, no, you mustn't erase them! I love the way the blue tint in his eyes,

and whiskers, echo the colour of the shoes. Or is that just the way my tablet is displaying?

[George McGovern]

15. OhNo, I'd just contemplated it. Your tablet's right on. I hadn't picked up the

shoes' colour (like your spelling) in his eyes. Thank You!

[niyad]

16. You are most welcome. I read, and watch, a lot of British media,

and it shows in both my speech and my writing.

[3catwoman3]

17. I like the "theatre" variation of theater but usually...

...don't use it, fearing people will think I am making a mistake. Maybe I'll start using it here.

[George McGovern]

19. Please do 3catwoman3. I imagine some will appreciate it. Me, for one.

[3catwoman3]

20. Some of the orthopedic practices in our area use the "orthopaedics" spelling.

I've never seen any place use "paediatrics."

The is a pediatric dental office in our neighborhood that is called Kid's Dentist, and someday I will probably give in to my temptation to stop by there and ask then if they only have one patient. It should be Kids' Dentist, damnit!

I often suspect I must have been an English teacher or editor in a previous incarnation. Incorrect language uses bugs the hell out of me.

[niyad]

21. I actually have been an editor since high school, so I understand exactly

what you mean. It is painful to read, and painful to hear.

[George McGovern]

23. I hadda get up off the floor after slowly dropping and rolling in laughter!

You ever satisfy that temptation I wanna know 'bout it.

[niyad]

25. I have done similar things in the past, and adding, "I simply cannot give my

custom to a company that cannot even properly spell whatever it is that they are doing."

[George McGovern]

28. Never until now have I seen such a reference to "custom", niyad.

According "Oxford Languages" — custom also refers to:
BRITISH
"regular dealings with a shop or business by customers."
"'if you keep me waiting, I will take my custom elsewhere'"

Thank You! (I've led a sheltered life . . .)

[niyad]

30. And I have led a rather not-so-sheltered one. I also matronize, not patronize,

establishments, which tends to confuse people (think Kristin Lems' song "Talkin' Gender Neutral Blues"!), and amuse me.

[niyad]

22. I tend to use "theatre" for those with stages and live performances,

and "theater" for movie houses.

[3catwoman3]

33. Is that a personal preference of yours...

...or an approved convention?

[niyad]

35. A little of both. I saw the distinction discussed somewhere years ago,

and it stuck with me.

[3catwoman3]

18. KC is lookin' pretty chill in your new digs.

How are the humans adjusting?

[George McGovern]

24. He's faring better than we expected. KC is in acceptance of his new home.

His people are adjusting and adapting. Don't know if you knew where we moved from, but for 23 years there we built a horse-boarding farm, riders welcomed to and rode our obstacle course. It all got to be too much, so we're here. All is good. Thank You for asking.

KC's "sister" Shadow is acclimating well enough.

[3catwoman3]

34. I did notice you said "our new home" in today's OP...

...after my moment of panic yesterday.

[George McGovern]

37. Took your cogent advice. Thanks again!

[PikaBlue]

26. Pets turn a house into a home!

If the cat approves, surely your new home will be a place of joy, peace, and new memories to treasure.

[George McGovern]

29. They surely do PikaBlue! Thank You!

[SheltieLover]

27. So glad he's getting adjusted & glad he has his tree cubby to hang out in.

[George McGovern]

31. Ty SL! He is and he does!

[SheltieLover]

32. Watching his new territory like a hawk.

[George McGovern]

38. Like a Kitty Hawk?

[SheltieLover]

39. Why, yes, now that you mention it.

[TommieMommy]

40. Adorable 💙💙

[George McGovern]

41. Thank You So Much TommieMommy!
