“‘Come out of your shell’ – that noxious expression which fails to appreciate that some animals naturally carry shelter everywhere they go and some humans are just the same.” – Susan Cain

“And he glanced at the backs of the books, with an awakened curiosity that went below the binding. No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.” ― Charles Dickens, Our Mutual Friend

This baby seal visited us here on Perry’s Point in 2011, during our first winter in Newtown. She stayed around for a couple of days before she swam away.
Vivian’s View From Here: A Couple of Ten-Year-Olds
Hi there, Friends and Felines!
Vivian K. Perry here,
with just a quick note before I dash away again:
Maisie and I have super-duper cause for celebration today.
That’s right.
My sister and I are celebrating a very special birthday.
We have reached a whole decade!
And hopefully, we can stick around for another one, right?
We have to go now and get this Purry-Perry Party started,
so instead of leaving a comment,
why don’t you sing ♪ Happy Birthday ♫ to us?
Head bumps & nose kisses,
Maisie & Vivian
❤
Daily Prompt: Impression
This small photo collection, all taken here in Newtown,
was inspired by today’s Daily Prompt.
Impression: (definition #3) a mark impressed on a surface by something.

Cat paws in snow:
POLAR BEAR TRACKS! YIKES!

Not so fun: sandy sinkhole in our driveway when we first moved here:
Oh “Deere.”
A Moment With Maisie
Alright, I admit it.
I am clearly the more introverted feline in this two-cat family.
Often the loner – the diametric opposite of my sister Vivian –
you will usually find me shying away from the spotlight.
Yes, I am a lap cat, and an affectionate one at that…
…but Vivian is the more “in your face” sister,
and the more photogenic one,
so naturally she gets the lion’s share of attention.
I’m the quiet and cautious girl who moves with stealth,
who wonders why Vivian is so annoyingly vocal.
And even though I might seem timid,
I’m actually more “alpha” than Viv.
I guess that’s why Jennifer says I’m the glue that holds us all together.
Do you live in a multi-cat or multi-pet household?
Do you sometimes feel overshadowed by your sibling?

I like to write and if something strikes my fancy, usually something odd or unusual, you will learn about it here. And thankfully, at The Holler, almost everyday is odd and unusual. So “Holler Happenings” including photos of flowers, birds, and wild animal interactions, are included too.
I travel three-four months a year so you will find my photos and honest reviews of locales, attractions and accommodations from all over the world. The good, bad and the ugly.

Video: Out and About with Vivian
Hey, all! Vivian K. Perry here, showing off in a short video on Perry’s Point yesterday.
Don’t be concerned about all my meows – I’m always that vocal when I’m having fun.
Near the end, see the panoramic view from the point, and my lightning-fast sprint back home!
Vivian’s View From Here: Window Cats
Greetings, humans!
Vivian K. Perry here, back for another guest blog on Jennifer’s Journal. I have new photos to share today!
We had snowy, blowy weather last night, which gave us pretty windows to look through when we woke up. As much as Maisie and I don’t like it when it gets too cold, sometimes snow can add an aesthetic appeal to our long winters.
The first pic shows some of Jennifer’s other cats.
Now on to us real kitties…
At first, I thought I would like it outdoors today.
I quickly changed my mind.
Maisie seems oblivious to my discomfort. (Please disregard the high-tech reading lamp)
I am quickly let back inside, and then…
…the shoe is on the other paw!
Ha! Snow on her nose 🙂
Thanks for taking a look through the window on our world.
See you next time!
How is your winter going?
Do you have snow where you live?
