Moko Cover

Moko Cover

When I got this iPad last March I unpacked it, fondled the smooth surfaces for a short while, and realized that I would have to get a non-smooth case or I would be dropping it all the time.  I bought a super cheap folio case that could also be used to prop up the iPad in landscape mode.  It served well, but is looking a little battered.  One of the iPad web sites recommended Moko as making affordable smart cases so I checked it out.

The MoKo Rotating Detachable iPad Cover (above in landscape prop mode) is a smart case, which means that it turns off the iPad when I close the case. It also rotates so that I can prop up the iPad in portrait mode. I ordered it last week from Amazon, after reading the reviews there, and I am very pleased with it.

 

Clown and Cuddles

Clown and Cuddles

We’re guessing Clown (above) and Cuddles (below) are relatives.  Clown was born on my friend’s property, to a young female that had shown up out of nowhere.  While waiting for the young (and very sweet) cat’s first heat to get her spayed, my friend realized that while she had missed the first heat, a tom obviously hadn’t.  (Clown’s mother is now a very pampered mouser and barn cat east of here.)  Cuddles showed up within the past year.  He was a very aggressive tom, so my friend trapped him, had him vaccinated, then sent him off to the the low-priced clinic for “snip-snip.”  Cuddles was either handled as a kitten, or gives the lie to the idea that you can’t domesticate a feral cat, because he pretty much lives up to his name these days. It’s hard to walk out to the barn without him throwing himself at your feet, soliciting attention. Cuddles lives outside, though he is trying desperately to get inside, while Clown is an inside-outside cat. Clown has apparently decided he wants to be friends.  Time will tell what Cuddles thinks.
