BBz Sheldon is not sure about all this construction in the run. He is on a small platform connected to a post holding the "Pageant Stage" made of pallets. Looks awesome.

Lots of commentary about Americano coffee in Canada to be "CanadianO".
That is utterly lazy.
I propose the new name be "Canuckchuk", evoking Canadianism, our easygoing manners, Multiculturalism, and it simply rolls off the tongue like a great limerick!
"One Canuckchuk with one sugar, please!"

Ahhhh, found Sheldon, the big boy of the BigBangBoyz. Of course it's daytime, and he's sleeping.
Must be nice!

Yes, one of the Boyz is indeed in this photo.
Hidden in plain sight (darned socks) is the one and only, Leonard. He is a very quiet cat, long beautiful soft and whispy fur that is ohhh, so nice to pet.
He'd prefer to be pet by one of my feet than my hands - I dunno, he's weird like that. And he is constantly thinking - like "Gotta call Acme for some dynamite and maybe something nice and heavy...
Mr. Spitz. When his family moved away, he didn't. So he became ours. It's been almost a year since he's been outside in the wild - he's been restricted to the house and Cat Run - but we have taken him out for walks down the driveway on a harness. He is a wild spirit and he is constantly trying to sneak out between our legs when we leave the house, so it's been amazing that he has not gotten out more than twice.
I'm trying to talk the boss into buying a satellite gps tracker for him, as it is only time before he takes advantage of us not closing the doors immediately behind us.
But he is such a lovable, playful cat. A true joy, otherwise! And he takes NO guff from any of the other 4!
Oliver - the albino Siamese (something to do with a "G" gene complex thingie.
See that nice thingie Ollie is laying on? It is actually a cat-house, with a front hole to go in, lie down and take a snooze.
Ollie, being a bit of a Chonker, decided that since it was comfortable on the inside, imagine how comfortable it would be if he laid on TOP of the house, collapsing it flat, and literally doubling the thickness of the super soft felted material.
He's not dumb. Just Siamese.
Number Four in our menagerie is MyLo, (My Love).
We got him as a rescue kitten, and he grew so flippin' fast, that he was at full size by month 4! I mean, at 4 months, he was the same size a Sheldon, our old Orinch Master!
MyLo's fur is super silky - never, ever knots up. I try to comb his fur, and within 2 minutes it is again all over the place.
Like Leo, MyLo's fur is super soft. He is the herder of the crew, although he has issues with Leonard herding me to and from my 3am toilet visit. Leo is so considerate!
Just touching base as the bigbangboyz have been busy supervising the additional "toys" being built and installed in the Cat Run.
Needless to say, each and every piece needs to be thoroughly tested.
Here's an update to the BigBangBoyz. I cannot seem to find Sheldon here. Whaaaaaa?

Fire departments are not businesses: How to explain this concept to newly elected officials
Six factors highlight why for-profit designs are not interchangeable with public safety operations
Don't some counties in the "great" USA actually have "for profit" Fire Departments that contract out to towns and so on. I've heard of homes burning down because the owners would not pay firefighters to put out the blaze.
Sheesh...

Yeah, that really works well - for the private companies to steal HUGE earnings on the backs of citizens.
Gov't owned utilities are not trying to squeeze their citizens - they just want to cover costs of running the utility including upgrades, new tech, etc. Profits are NOT the "reason d'etre".

I used to respect him years ago, but since then, he's shown that he is a conspiracy theorist, dope-smoking, deadhead, commie-whuss-degenerate with Elon Musk supporting his downright stupid ideas with no basis in fact.
They deserve each other.
Dopes.

He looks just like one of my #bigbangboyz, Sheldon. His sibling, Leonard, OTOH, looks like a long-haired Sylvester.
Sheldon's the Alpha male, but Leonard is the sneaky-smart one. So far, he's found six ways out of the Cat run. Sheldon, just one. But I have still to find that one darn it!

Sheldon, the long, skinny half of the Bigbangboyx trying to get comfortable on the hammock.
He kept falling through the wave of the string - so funny to watch him just "dangle" about 2cm above the ground. His bros' were killing themselves with laughter.
We got the blanket to prevent him falling through, but he still has some doubts about the blanket!
Bigbangboys home.
Once the bald human finished securing the perimeter fence with his unpatented fence-topper-arches, all bigbangboys will have access to the entire .25acre city lot.
Lots of trees, 2 ponds, 2 streams, 5 fountains, He Shed and She Shed - Ohhh, so much to sniff and inspect. It will take years to get the entire yard downloaded into their little sniffer-brains.
They WILL love the local Cat-savvy Squirrel and all the birds we attract into the yard. If only it were summer all year round, eh?
Spitz, the once street-wise neighbourhood cat, knows all the ins and outs of living on the edge. He can Mcguiver any hooman stuff to work for him.
Such a wise, but sometimes wise-ass cat!
During the building of the Cat Run, with the Catio inside the Run, there were some not-so-obvious areas the hoomans did not think the bigbangboys could find.
This photo prooves the hoomans wrong, eh?
Sheldon in working in the corner of the fence as it wraps around the trunk of a Maple tree. But every corner is reinforces, and the Arch is too far back to get a grip and swing up/over.
However, BigBangBoy Leonard seems to have found an alternate route to the house roof, then onto one of the Maple Tree's trunks, however is too afraid to climb head-first down.
He does not yet know how to back-down . So, up onto the roof, and he shows us how he got up in the first place. Sigh, another glaring point of egress to sort out.
Note the Security Camera's under Leonard's trunk. Yeah. Useless in this case!
Bigbangboys Sheldon trying to figure out how to lay in a hammock. We even gave him a blanket to sort it out!
And a few other #BigBangBoys items of interest.

MyLo just loved the Northern Light Show we had on 10 Oct. My wife, furballs and I took a ton of photo's as the main show was literally right on top of our house.
But what I was surprised with was that I actually caught the Big Dipper behind the Lights in the first photo.
Cool, eh?
Right above our heads as we went outside to take photo's. Just blew us and the #bigbangboys.
The second photo was directed directly above our heads/house. Just awe inspiring.
#bigbangboyz were properly entranced with the lights while out in their Cat Run. I'm so glad they got to see the lights too.

Oliver is looking at the BigBangBoyz as the devour their treat. He is one patient cat, waiting his turn. He'd rather go for quantity and not speed.
Probably why he is our resident Chonk, eh?

Spitz in the big dog donut I got last year at a garage sale for $20. He's a pig though - won't share with the other cats. It's HIS donut.
Until he's not around, then it's a free-for-all.

Leonard and Sheldon on a shelf in the kitchen. Yes, these shelves are made with them - and plants - in mind. They are not "counter-cats", but have their own "catwalk" around the kitchen.
Here is a better photo of the BBB'z, as the small image in the logo does not do them justice.
Left - Leonard (Leo)
Right - Sheldon (Shelly)
They spend all night rough-housing with each other, and sometimes Spitz joins in as he is about the only one interested in such endeavors.

Blue-eye'd Ollie taking a nap on his favourite perch in the living room.
Don't let the fur fool you - he IS a Siamese. I did some looking up and happened upon a genetic report about white cats with blue eyes not being as rare as we think. He is a Siamese but has a missing/mutated "G" gene (interesting link to his name above, eh?) that control fur colour, among other things.
His fur is large and rough when stroked, and he does sport true Siamese eyes. When one looks heads on, his eyes ARE wonky (I lol every time LOL), gorgeous blue and he is so loving - he mothered the BBB's when they first moved in, and today, he is still their "parent unit".
Introducing Oliver (Ollie), who came to us as a 2 y.o. rescue, formerly named "G" by his foster folks.
