The Scratching Post
September 2023

Hi pals!
We hope you’re all doing great!

Well, there have been no new critters coming around. So, no new critter news.

Momma finallllllly cleaned the windows so we could see outside! It only took her to years! And she calls us lazy (MOL). Who knows what we’ll see now. Maybe there have been new critters all this time, and we just haven’t been able to see them!
When Momma was cleaning the outside windows, she saw tiny raccoon hand prints on them!
They were probably from Roland. He’s the single raccoon that comes around, Momma named after her Dad (MOL). He doesn’t stay too long. He always tries to grab foods before or after Momma Raccoon and the babies come around. You would understand why if you saw them all eat and fight/play. They even get on Momma Raccoon’s nerves. It’s so funny to watch…from inside.

This month is also a little sad (very sad) because on September 15th it will be one whole year since our tiny big brother Runt went OTRB. Sometimes it doesn’t seem so long. Sometimes it seems like he’s been gone too long. We miss him lots.

We know that most everyone has experienced a loss of some kind. It’s never easy, and please, know that you’re never alone. Someone does care (we care).

Take care of yourselves pals (and humans).

Til Next Month,
BoyCat, AJ, Mabel,
