Finn likes to attack from below like a shark
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
she sure does - the toe beans match the surrounding fur
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
Mia’s two tone colouring continues inside her mouth which I have always found interesting
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
also would you measure along the belly or along the spine - or an average of the two
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
you are almost certainly right but luckily for me Finn measuring is a very dubious form of science
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
due to popular demand I have done some complex calculations using photos from earlier and a measuring tape - Finn is about 1m long when he stretches out

They get along fine when eating but Mia is much slower so Finn was eating 75% of the food - they eat separately for their main meal so Mia has time to finish her share, and also they have slightly different diets
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
Mia wants Finn to be released so she can check for leftovers but be careful what you wish for

these floorboards are pre-Tracy by a few years

good morning *yes of course I said big stretch as required by law
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
some happy Mia purring

new box just dropped
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
he seems to be working on the theory that if he removes all the grass from the middle one the sweet dirt beneath will be his
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
for those interested this is the game Finn has trained us to play
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
he gets on his wall after dinner and waits for someone to throw him his pink rat
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
just the light, I generally don’t do anything to photos much
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
ha ha, I actually thought the same thing and moved it

Mia ascends to her widow seat

Darwin Festival over for another year, back to my normal uncultured existence
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
his ear tufts are great but he also has some spectacular head whiskerage
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
the keeper of the thongs is a fearsome beast who takes his responsibilities very seriously
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
Finn is a social little guy and if you sit on the couch he will come and hang out with you
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
I love the way Mia tucks her little feet up
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
they get to about 1.5m max but this one is only about 50cm
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
Mia’s getting some quality donut time - she seems to have recovered emotionally from the time Finn climbed in behind her
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
I am in Darwin, Australia

a yellow spotted monitor is checking my lawn for snacks - this guy is obviously dining well because he gets bigger every time I see him
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
don’t worry he has rectified the situation
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
the little white socks!
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
now he appears to own his own staffed residence
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
Finn has strictly enforced rules for where the pink rat should be stored and if he finds it out of place he immediately returns it
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
she gets up via the bed and windowsill
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
I love how happy and cosy Mia is in her window seat
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
legend has it that cats love ping pong balls but these two must have not received the memo
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
many are saying this

is there anything better than driving a luxury high performance vehicle that still looks as good today as when it rolled out of the factory
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
great description
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
the evidence suggests an unknown intruder has pushed this bag over and attempted to get inside it - luckily we have a dedicated investigator on the case immediately
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
Odafin would be a cool name for a cat but Finn is named after Finn the Human from Adventure Time
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
Finn is quite messy so there is generally something for Mia and she also leaves a few pieces from time to time so a win/win
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
releasing Finn so they can both go and check for dinner leftovers
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
flawless technique here for entry to the tower of solitude
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
back in the old days I would just present it au naturel in its original pot and it would be slowly nibbled at with absolutely no digging up of the entire thing
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
it freaks him out a bit when she gets zoomy - he is fascinated but doesn’t quite know what to do
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
She is 9 from memory
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
Mia is all fired up this morning and she’s been charging around, much to Finn’s consternation
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
the Grass Defender features cutting edge snout resistant design
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
Mia is a dainty cat grass grazer unlike other local residents
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social)
the empirical science never stops around here - feral subject remains cooperative
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
each piece has at least one screw into a stud, more if I could do it - I wouldn’t trust it just with wall anchors
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
There are a few different ones around you can buy, I like fukumaru
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
two and a half
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
most of the wall elements are from fukumaru but also would be easy to make if you are into woodworking
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
of course - there is also a vertical bit on the left out of shot, and I think it would benefit from one more post in the middle on the left somewhere but it seems to be fairly appealing to them
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
I find the various cat things from fukumaru are good for wall stuff and also other nice cat furnishings
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
yes, she has some iris melanosis in her left eye
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
I liked these ones because they are supported from below with no strings and they seem to stick on fairly well
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
there are heaps of different types but this is the particular one I have amzn.asia/d/fX5gZOL
Dave Krantz (@weskrantz.bsky.social) reply parent
she warmed to it slowly but now she spends a lot of time in it
