SCW SATURDAY CAT WRESTLING & WAITING FOR SPRING

Hey Pals,

It's Snickers posting today. As some of you know, Butchy is off on his date with Lacie to Bermuda. They met Rosie & Petey there too. All are having a good time so far. When Butchy gets back, we'll try to post some photos of their trip.

What is SCW you ask?? Well it's Saturday Cat Wrestling you sillies. Silly Sylvester & Scuby just luv to wrestle, so Mama took a few videos of them with her camera. Here is one of the videos:




By the way, does anyone know where Spring is??? We're waiting for Spring to arrive here in Iowa. We are tired of freezing our tootsies off. We were looking through some of our camera videos and decided to show some things that we look forward to for Spring around here in our yard.

Around May 1st, the Ruby Throated Hummingbirds will return to our house:
(if you turn up the volume loud, you can hear the hummingbirds making their chatting noises)



In April, usually the Wild Turkey start hanging around daily getting ready for breeding season. They have been hanging around here already, but not steady like they do in the Spring.




And of course Mama can hardly wait for the ice to melt on top of the koi ponds. She really hates not seeing her pet koi for about 6 months out of the year. Once the ice is gone and the water reaches about 55-60 degrees, the koi will start breeding. Here is a video of them breeding, the males are chasing Koi Cookie!



Are you ready for Spring now??? We sure are. Mama and Papa have cabin fever, so they are going antiquing with their friends tomorrow. Hmmmm, wonder if Mama will find any Wire Fox Terrier items???

Wirey Hugs,
Snickers

I really enjoyed the cat wrestling video. The spring videos were nice, too. Spring is here in New Mexico. We have hyacinth and jonquils blooming.

Mango said...

Your new header rocks. What a cool bloggy versary present.

Cat wrestling appears to be something I would rather stay away from. They are far too limber and fast.

If you find spring, let me know. We are looking for it here too.

SLobbers,
Mango

Cats are very flexible from the looks of that video. We'll stick to pup rough housing! I think Mommy said that Iowa is going to have a Spring real soon. Momma doesn't lie. You'll see. Spring will come. Smooches, BRD & Hootie

Amber-Mae said...

Wow! Major breeding going on now! How kool! Look at those Kois chasing that lady in the pond. She must be very attractive. Wow, looks like your daddy can see the hummingbirds really closely. Pawsome!

Scruffy, Lacie and Stanley's Place said...

Wow...we loved that last video of the Koi Matin' thingie...Mumsie made Babystan go to bed but Scruffy and I ate popcorn and watched the whole thing...repeatedly!!! Now Mumsie's sez enuff is enuff...sniff...

Hey we didn't know you guys are related to Asta which means your related to Scruffy...I don't know if I'd advertise that last fact...Scruffy sorta brings down the gene pool if ya know what I mean!!!

How ya feelin' Snickers?? Hope that SM stays far far away from ya girlie!!

Now Butchy...I think it was horrid that Petey locked us both in the stocks and even worse they just unlocked you for the sole purpose of taking that Auntie of Rosie's around so Rose and Petey could get quality smoochin' time...I do appreciate the fact that you guys brought me swizzle drinks every 2 hours, but now I have a horribly sunburned nose and a headache...sigh...next time we'll go to St. Barts...I've heard it's Peteyless...

Love and kisses...Laciegirlie

Pee ess Are you seein Auntie again????

Joe Stains said...

The Koi breeding video looks a lot like the cat wrestling video lol. We definitely have spring at our place and we will be happy to send it your way.

JB's Big World said...

Those are some great videos! I can not believe those humming birds get that close!

we love your hummingbirds. and that cat wrasslin' is something else. they have great foot action with the rear legs when they are doing that bunny rabbit kicking thing. that's pretty funny. we can't wait for spring at your house too. we love seeing the koi.

woofs.

Spring ... it's coming? We still have lots of snow and ice ... it's -17C this morning but with the wind chill it feels like -27C. Yikes!

aww love the cat wrestling and your koi pond too!

Chef said...

I don't know where spring is either, Snickers. All I know is that it sure isn't here in Montreal! Your videos make us yearn for spring all the more ... although spring around our house isn't nearly as interesting as it is at yours. Thanks goodness we're hooked up to your blog! Hope you're feeling ok.

I like to wrestle with my car brother. he doesn't liek to wrestle so much anymore since he got sick a couple years ago. We think Spring is stuck here. It's been so long since we've seen snow or really any moisture. Mom is so excited about seeing what all is going ot come up at the new house. There are tulips coming up where we didn't think there was anything and more iris. Mom's been doing a lot of yard cleaning so get it all ready for spring. She really can't wait to get the hummingbird feeders out again. We love to sit and watch them.
