I’m Hemingway, Hemi to my friends. Yes I have thumbs but mom still does the typing.💙 Absolutely no DMs unless I know you! And don’t try to sell me anything! I will block you if necessary!

Mom asked why I was lying here and playing with her shoe. I tried to explain that I’m not playing. I just got too close and the smell made me lightheaded and nauseous. I’m pushing it away. Moral of the story. Don’t mess with the cat, we always win.

Hemi the black and white cat stretches out in the sun on the kitchen floor. He’s repeatedly touching the sandals in front of him. No matter what he says I know he just likes shoes and they usually end up with claw and tooth marks on them.

This is my yellow ball. There are many like it but this one is mine. My yellow ball is my friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

Hemi the black and white cat lying on the floor and watching me closely to see I don’t touch his yellow ball. The look on his face says he means business and I will be bapped for touching it.

I’m taking a stroll with my blankie to find the perfect spot for my nap! I may be having some trouble with tripping on it, but it’s gonna be worth it!

Hemi the black and white cat with his crocheted blankie in his mouth. It’s between his legs and he trips on it every few feet. He is persistent and I know he’ll find the perfect spot for his nap. He’ll also expect me to put it back in the proper place for his nighttime use.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· 23d

No sun puddles, or cuddles! It’s just too hot!🥵 Just a friendly warning to watch where you step today!👣 I know you’d hate for anything to happen to those feet of yours!😹

Hemi the black and white cat stretches out on the floor after a few longing looks at his normal napping spots.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· 24d

Playing is great but I’m feeling like I need a nap now.

Hemi the black and white cat whose playing has become less energetic over the last few minutes. He’s splooted out watching his ball roll around but his eyes are looking sleepy.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· 25d

Mom’s so insulting! I’m napping and have a good dream. One where I’m in charge and growling and hissing. When I wake up mom said I’m cute! Who says to an apex predator that they’re cute!🙀

Hemi the black and white cat slightly curled up and dreaming of a world where he’s in charge of everything.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· 26d

I’m very upset! There was a caterpillar on the basement door but I couldn’t reach it. Mom came and got him, but she wouldn’t let me play with him or eat him. That’s so wrong!🐛 I’m now waiting to see if there are any more of them.

Hemi the black and white cat sitting on the antique sewing machine and watching closely for more caterpillars to show up. He’s leaning slightly forward and his tail is swinging back and forth.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· 27d

Mom only gave a big sigh as I dunked my spring in my water bowl, then took it out and smacked it around the kitchen floor leaving little streaks of water everywhere.💦😹

Hemi the black and white cat resting in a little sun puddle on the kitchen floor. His yellow spring is close and he’s clearly thinking of dunking it in his water again.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· 28d

Staying up most of last night takes a heavy toll. I’ve been sleeping in this spot since dawn, except for the few minutes for breakfast. May not move until dinner time!

Hemi the black and white cat is on his favorite napping spot of his cat tree. He’s gently snoring and hasn’t even moved in hours. Zoomies and playing with noisy toys for most of the night might have more serious consequences for Hemi than for me.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· 29d

Mom left me home alone!🙀 Here I contemplate what punishment she deserves.🤔 Obviously she deserves to be ignored completely! I will of course cause her vastly more trouble over this later tonight!😹

Hemi the black and white cat sitting in judgment of my choices.

Hemi the black and white cat now folded into a neat loaf and with his back to me. He is currently ignoring me and absolutely refuses to acknowledge my presence.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 13

A strong, energetic, and enthusiastic start to the day!

Hemi the black and white cat lying stretched out on the kitchen floor. He really had a great start to the day when he spilled his whole bowl of water on the floor while trying to dunk his yellow spring in it. 🙄

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 12

I dumped my toys, picked a couple, then went wild with them. Running, jumping, and creative trash talking, followed by some zoomies. Now I’m exhausted. Not even the energy to jump on mom before my nap!

Hemi the black and white cat, who seemingly fell over before getting back to the toys he’s been attacking. Poor guy is just sprawled out and staring into space.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 11

Last night I pulled a blankie into mom’s bathroom and left it where she slipped on it as she stumbled across it in the dark. How was I to know she can’t see very well in the dark??? Humans are too fragile, physically and emotionally. Mom wasn’t hurt btw.

Hemi the black and white cat cuddling with mom to sort of apologize for almost killing her last night.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 10

Mom seemed surprised to find me in bed again. Don’t I always have a post breakfast nap? She doesn’t know me at all!!!

Hemi the black and white cat lying in bed with a paw over his face as he tries to ignore me.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 9

Mom caught my reaction to hearing my uncle coming in. He’s absolutely one of my favorite humans!

Hemi the black and white cat was playing until he heard his uncle open the door and walk in. His head popped up the second he heard him.

Hemi the black and white cat rolling over to look cute and demand attention from his uncle. Usually uncle will sit in the paisley chair and Hemi either drops a toy close to him or sits right beside the chair for scratching and head rubs.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 9

Mom has several photos of me and of her other cats before me. She’s running out of space for them all. Besides, this is her favorite photo of me!😹

Hemi the black and white cat with his rat that I had put fresh catnip in. He’s high as a kite and I’m not sure that this expression is a simple blep. I think it’s him really sticking his tongue out at me.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 8

Mom says I look like I’m plotting something. I would never!😹

Hemi the black and white cat sitting next to an assortment of toys and staring into space. He’s obviously plotting something that I probably don’t want to know about.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 7

This is your official alert!🚨 🚨🚨 There is a fly in the house!🪰🐾🐾🐾🐾

Hemi the black and white cat walking slowly towards a house fly. Quietly sneaking up on it is the only way to go.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 6

Dreaming of another bite of grilled cheeseburger!🍔 That’s why there’s a little smile on my face!😹

Hemi the black and white cat sound asleep. The closeup view shows a tiny smile on his face. He’s been smacking his lips and drooling a little so I’m sure he’s dreaming about the few bites of cheeseburger he had for the 4th of July celebration.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 5

I’m not mad about the sun moving away from me today. It’s already getting too hot.🥵

Hemi the black and white cat was enjoying the sun for the first few minutes but soon turned over to get into a more shaded position.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 4

I was playing with my packing paper when my tail got caught up in it somehow.

Hemi the black and white cat sitting on his packing paper and with one paw touching his tail. I’m not sure he even knows that it’s his own tail.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 3

Getting ready for the 4th! I’m catching up on my rest today since the fireworks are hard to sleep through.

Hemi the black and white cat is curled up asleep even if he, and I, are incredibly hot.
Please remember and be aware of your babies reactions to the fireworks. Give them a safe space to retreat to like a closet or similar area.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 2

I’ve alerted mom and am now ready to stand watch. There is a mouse in the basement!🐁🐾🩸🙀

Hemi the black and white cat lying across from the basement door. He has been on alert since late yesterday evening, only leaving his post for food and toilet breaks. And before everyone asks, no he’s not allowed in the basement. It’s where I store some garden equipment. He’d also probably disappear in the jumble of items that I don’t use but are too good to toss away (junk) and never be seen again.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jul 1

It’s so hot that I’m having a difficult time working up the energy to even dump my bucket of toys.

Hemi the black and white cat just thinking about making his usual mess. He ultimately decided on another nap.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jun 30

Was watching that drama queen of a mockingbird squawking at absolutely nothing this morning.🙀 She made me tired just watching her. So I’m having a much deserved nap.😹

Hemi the black and white cat napping on his cat tree, in his very sunny window. There’s currently no fussy mockingbird making any noise outside.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jun 30

I’m just saving the pompom to play with again after this nap.💤

Hemi the black and white cat in loaf position, on a pink pompom, mid nap.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jun 28

Perfect spot. 1 Near windows to spy on neighbors. 2 Personal blankie in place for nap. 3 A/C vent blowing just behind table, ceiling fan to circulate air, to stay cool after being in afternoon sunlight in windows. 4 Nearby in case mom needs help putting on fresh sheets.

Hemi the black and white cat on his blankie as he naps on the round bedroom table. He will likely feel the need to help me make the bed by jumping in the middle in just a minute.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jun 27

I had to flip over to help cool down the belly!😹

Hemi the black and white cat has gotten too warm. He woke up long enough to turn over to ventilate his warm belly fur then promptly fell back to sleep.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jun 26

My Cautionary Tale for Other Cats This is what happens when the desire for a nap hits hard.

Hemi the black and white cat lying on the floor. A couple of minutes earlier he was digging in his toy pail. He tossed a few toys around and shook a few in his teeth. But then slowed down and stretched out to take his nap.

Hemi & Leslie@lesliewalden· Jun 25

Was up all night playing with the two new boxes and loads of packing paper. Planning on sleeping all day today. There will be an encore performance of last night’s mischief beginning at 4 am!😹
