Antics of Cats and Kids

Of all the creatures in this household, I think the cats like homeschooling best.  Timmy Whitefoot and Rosie Grayfoot both enjoy having their people home with them all day.  

Kyla and Rosie do homework together each day.

In another room, Piper and Timmy "do homework" together. (Piper has finally caught up with a month of homework.  Timmy is going to fail middle school if he maintains these study habits.)

Then, Mama came across an article on NPR about this bird saving device. The BirdsBeSafe collar claims to decrease songbird killings by 87%, affecting only the birds who fall down laughing at the hunting cat.  I bought two that day.

The cats seem perfectly happy with their new fashion.  I theorize that they have found their inner lion. 
 

So the cats to mind, but oh!  Piper was mad.  She protested the horrid collars, and marched in solidarity, with herself.  Her first collar was made of paper, and was quite uncomfortable, which of course, is how she assumed the cats felt.

Then she made a cloth one (which lasted in all its glory until the next time I insisted she shower.  The color faded somewhat, but my towels got a little more colorful!)

 
 See, Rosie doesn't even mind.   

So far, so good.  We haven't been brought any presents by cats disgusted with our inept hunting skills.
