Boopie's new buddy

Below is Frederica's new "buddy" Demitasse.  Freddie doesn't yet play with Demi much, because Demi keeps to the master bedroom mostly.  Mr. Bits plays with her, though, so Freddie can't resist much longer.

New buddies

Frederica has a new best buddy, which she hasn't met yet.  We adopted a very small, year-old one-eyed cat today.  She stole our hearts and is very affectionate.  She doesn't have a name yet and I don't have any photos, yet, but will post her name and some photos when I do.  Freddie will undoubtedly be the first of our feline family to meet the newbie.  :-D

Cow Parade project

I've been in the midst of cow projects for Austin's upcoming Cow Parade.  Freddie likes to lounge around under the cows.  It's a wonder she hasn't gotten paint or glue on her fur!

Visitors

Freddie's "cousins" are visiting this weekend: Astro & Pearl, two standard poodles.  SO, Freddie and her fellow felines are keeping a low profile.  Topaz ventured down the stairs a few minutes ago and set off the canine alarm system.  I'm guessing none of the other cats will attempt the same.  :-)

Lazy days of summer

This is how Freddie is spending her summer... napping.... changing position and doing more napping.  I'm SO jealous!

Long time to blog post...

Frederica is doing great.  She has a little too much interest in exploring the back yard and we have to watch her like a hawk, but she'll at least head back in the house when she's reprimanded.  Below are photos of Freddie snuggling with Molly's Sing-a-ma-jig thing.

April 21 trip to the Vet

Freddie weighed in at 13.5 pounds.  The vet detected a very soft heart murmur, so we had blood work done.  Freddie has no symptoms of anything and all of her bloodwork turned out just fine, so we'll just have to keep an eye on Freddie.

Weigh In

I finally remembered to weigh Frederica this morning: 13.5 pounds!  I'm working from home today and grabbed a photo of Freddie and Link stalking a squirrel.  Link wasn't happy about sharing such a tight space with Freddie, but this spot had the best view.

Recent photos of Frederica

Below are a few fairly recent photos of Frederica lounging in the living room (a.k.a. the piano room).  In the first photo, she's reclining in one of her favorite chairs right beside a front window that looks out onto the porch.

In the photo below, Freddie is cooling her belly on the marble tile in the entryway.  She can see most of what's going on in the house from this vantage point.

Another favorite spot is by the window near the piano.  There's lots of room for her to sit and get a good look out the window.  Molly very thoughtfully put a blanket there for Freddie to sit on.

Happy 1st Birthday, Frederica Chopin!!

Freddie is a year old today! Her nose is a bit dirty in the photos below because she slipped outside yesterday and spent some quality time in the back yard.  She started her birthday with her morning nummies with Vinnie.
