Photo: At Ease
While we were gone, Sneaky and Walter seemed relaxed with each other: Well, maybe not: This is Walter: This is Boomer: The black cat came to visit a few times. Walter seemed to be looking for us sometimes.

Cats: Fall Sunshine
The cats are on a mini-vacation in San Antonio. Lady, Ajax, and Natasha got som quality backyard time. Lady, especially, made sure she got time outside. We’ve frequently had six (!) cats in the garden window. They love that window. Natasha and Rossie have been the only cats avoiding the … Continue reading →
Photo: Block the Camera!

I was out of town for a few days this week, so Mr. L got to experience the Joys of Cats. Apparently, he thought I was unaware of the Joys of Cats, because he saved everything for me. The barf. The aftermath of a kitty altercation that appeared to be … Continue reading →
Blackbirds Book Signing Photos

RIP: Pretty Boy Floyd, July 2012 – October 20, 2014
It was best for our boy. Dr. Valeri did everything she could do for him, but she couldn’t solve his problem of not being able to urinate. She called me this morning, I talked it over with Mr. L, and I went out to the clinic to say good-bye. Floyd … Continue reading →
