Barts and Co.

He looks like a magician. 🥰

Same here… 🙋🏻‍♂️

🤣 and thanks!

Indeed. Funny though, I’ve been dealt so many of those first hands and never won, so it was quite the surprise when I hit. I legit was like, “Oh here we go again…” 😂

I’ll have to go shopping when I get home for some extra treats for him. 🙂

I’ve been coming here almost once a year for nearly 30 years. Boy has it changed. It’s just so busy now. I also quit drinking and I think that makes this town less fun. But I’m happy to hang up my dice on these wins… ☺️ Man, I was loving the weather this morning, I rose a bike to Winnie and Ethel’s.

This one’s for you @royalflusher.bsky.social

A photo from a plane shows the Hawaiian Island of O’ahu. The foreground is the deep blue Pacific Ocean with the island in the background. Diamond Head (a tuff cone of a long dormant volcano) is prominent in the center of the photo, with surrounding urban areas and mountains in the background.

An aerial photo from a plane shows the city of Las Vegas with The Las Vegas strip prominently in the middle running from top to bottom. Surrounding The Strip are multiple large casino/hotels. In the far distance, you can see mountains past the urban areas.

A grey and brown striped tabby cat sits in the grass partially covered with dead leaves at the base of his sitter’s feet looking longingly up at her with his blue eyes.

Departed O’ahu on Thur. for Vegas. Sadly, I think I’ve grown tired of gambling and Vegas, so I’m headed home a day early, but with the single greatest 24 hours of gambling I’ve ever had. Also anxious to get back to my kid, even though I know he’ll be upset it’s me and not his girlfriend. 😂 #caturday

It’s actually his sitter. He’s in love with her. ☺️🥰

Was all the good stuff at the bottom? 😋

I had an indoor tree for him when I first got him, and he never had much interest in it. So I got rid of it. He’s never been much of a jumper either. But he’ll get the zoomies like nobody’s business. 😂

I could, but being a cat, then he’d probably never use it because it was built for him. 😂

😂🤣

A brown and grey striped tabby cat lies on his window perch, fast asleep in partial sunshine after his morning antics.

But it must’ve wore him out as he was fast asleep when I checked on him later… 🥰❤️

Barts was a handful for his sitter this morning with his backyard patrol. 🤣

Rest in peace, Jane Goodall.
You taught us that kindness is a form of strength and that respect for life in all its forms is the truest measure of humanity. You will be dearly missed.

A grey and brown striped tabby cat lies on his porch with his front pawns and legs out in front of him looking at his sitter with his bright, light blue eyes while she takes a picture of him.

Your Tuesday Barts update. Still adorable and still in love with his sitter. 🥰😂

Unfortunately it’s been kind of a mess. Trying though…

A silhouette of a large tree is shown at dusk after the sun has set on the coast of Kaua’i. The sky starts off dark blue at the top of the picture and gradually gets turns a lighter blue until it reaches the remnants of the sunset against the ocean where the sky is full of yellows and oranges.

A picture shows a shot up the coast of the Pacific Ocean with sandy beach in the foreground and the ocean lapping against the beach along the left side. Various green trees are shown on the opposite side of the ocean with more trees and foliage at the base of a mountain in the far distance.

A vast, expansive picture shows the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean with various areas of the shores of Kaua’i on the right side. The shore is made up of sand, black volcanic rock, various trees and other foliage and finally mountains in the distance. The ocean laps at the shore creating white waves and splashes where it meets the shore.

A simple photo of palm trees lining the shore of the Pacific Ocean on the shore of Kaua’i. In the foreground is a paved path, followed by green grass, then the trees. A small square shelter is nestled in the right side of the palm trees. The palm trees get shorter as you look from left to right. The deep blue Pacific Ocean is in the background against a light blue sky with very little clouds.

While this trip hasn’t gone nearly as planned, it hasn’t stopped me from appreciating the beauty that Kaua’i is. Just a couple pictures to share that I’ve snapped over the past few days. O’ahu this afternoon for couple more days on Hawaii before I make my way back east. 🌴

The only thing is that he was awake. Just being a playa. 🤣

For anyone needing their daily dose of #hams. 😂🥰

I was supposed to take one yesterday, but we had bad weather here and it got canceled. Might have been just as well, because the day before I took a boat tour to the coast and I got sick. That said, there was some rough seas that day. 🤢

A grey and brown striped tabby cat lies in the grass in his backyard with a wooden fence behind him, while he longingly gazes into the eyes of his sitter (girlfriend).

#caturday vacation edition.

😂🤣

You’re not the only one. 😉

Buy some cement at the drug store just in case. Happened to me, had to use that until I got home for a repair.

I wouldn’t put it past that kid to find a way… 😂

Barts “report card” from his sitter shows a summary of his visit with a picture of him (a grey and brown striped tabby cat) laying on his side, on his bed looking up at his sitter with his front paws slightly elevated.

You’re mid-week Barts update. Still a ham and loving every second of me being away… 😂

A elevated view overlooks mountainous formations of grey rock with some green vegetation in a valley overlooking the Nā Pali Coast in Kaua’i with the Pacific Ocean in the background.

A elevated view overlooks mountainous formations of grey rock up the Nā Pali Coast in Kaua’i with some green vegetation mixed in. A deep, magical blue Pacific Ocean is seen running up along the coast.

Deep in the valley of some of the mountains along the Nā Pali Coast in Kaua’i a waterfall has been carved in the mountain and water can be seen falling down the mountainside.

Good morning from Kaua’i. 🌴 When I leave Barts for such a long time, I best make it worth it. Yesterday was about an eight mile (round trip) hike out to the Nā Pali Coast. Beautiful views at the turn, although I severely underestimated my fitness capability for that hike; but I did survive. 😂

That too. 🙂
