Laugh. Learn. Love cats.
We have never shared any kitten photos of Ashton where you can see her with two eyes. A lot of her photos from around that time aren’t pleasant to look at, but we found one from when the swelling to the eye had gone down but our vet wanted her to gain a little more weight for surgery.
So now you have proof… Ashton did once have two eyes, though we never knew her with two that could actually see. And to tell the truth, she doesn’t miss that eye these days at all.
Ashton: Those of you who are on Twitter heard about my big adventure the other night, but I wanted to tell the rest of my friends, too.
Newton: Seriously? They don’t want to hear this, Ashton. It’s almost putting me to sleep already.
Ashton: Stop it, Newt! Everything isn’t about you.
Newton: *shakes head*
Ashton: As I was saying…. This happened the other night, so there aren’t any photos, but I was sitting out on the porch like I do when it’s open. We are running out of cool nights to have the porch open, and I’m enjoying it every chance I get. Let me do an reenactment to put you in the mood…
Ashton: When along came the neighbor’s cat. He came right up to the screen! Talk about having no manners. Well, he’s an orange cat, and you know how orange cats are with manners.
Newton: I heard that!
Ashton: Well, it’s true. Orange cats have no manners, and the neighbor’s cat especially. He said some things that made the tips of my ears blush. Well, I wasn’t just going to take that. I puffed up my tail so it was bigger than Newton’s.
Newton: See, it really *is* all about me. You can’t stop talking about me and my glorious tailio.
Ashton: Shut UP, Newt! I was just saying I can puff up my tail as big as yours.
Newton: No you can’t.
Ashton: Oh, yes, I can!
Newton: Well, okay, maybe you can.
Ashton: Anyhow. I puffed up my tail and I hissed, and the neighbor’s cat made a terrible noise, and then he ran away. I scared him away!
Newton: *sigh* The head peep got up from her desk to see what the noise was, and the neighbor’s cat ran away from her.
Ashton: Shut UP, Newton! My friends on Twitter all believed in me! Do you see what they tweeted to the head peep about it?
@FelineHerdsCats That was one big Brave moment for her 😀

Ashton: I’m the undefeated champion and protector of the household now. At least until the rug sucking monster comes out again.
Pierre: Hey, Newton! Newton! Look behind you!
Pierre: They’re out there!
Newton: What?
Newton: OMC, it’s ducks!
Newton: Ashton, you’re missing this!
Ashton: I can’t eat them, so what’s the point? I would rather wait in the kitchen for chicken.
Pierre: Don’t mind her. Girls are weird.
Newton: Do you think vultures taste like chicken, too?
