Sneaky answers to all those names. Mr. L calls her Squeaky (which she is), I originally called her Sneaky when she wouldn’t take the bait in the trap, and she has four white feet, somewhat resembling sneakers, so I sometimes call her Sneakers. Whatever we call her, we have a … Continue reading →
I haven’t written about Mooch lately. I wanted to complete our vacation and see where he stood when we got back. I didn’t see him for the first week or two after we got back from vacation, but over the last two weeks, I’ve started to see more of him. … Continue reading →
Have you ever thought about getting a home video surveillance system? We’ve been considering it. Mostly because we really want to know what the cats are really doing overnight, because we come downstairs and at least one set of curtains is on the floor (they’re no tension rods, so they’re … Continue reading →
I suspect much of my cat reporting has become predictable. As a result, I may skip a few cat posts. I think an update is in order for Sneaky, our outdoor feral who isn’t so very feral these days. Mr. L can talk to her and pet her now. I … Continue reading →
Everyone, including the vet, seems to have survived and perhaps thrived as a result of our vacation time away. I arrived to a reconfiguration in the boarding area — they’d wheeled out a small two-cage condo to accompany the regular two four-cage condos (My 8 weren’t the only boarders.) Natasha … Continue reading →
We’re pulling into New Orleans tonight. Based upon what you’ve heard about the cats — ferals and otherwise, what would you guess they would be doing today if they were home and lounging about the house instead of cooped up in a cage at the vet’s? The cages are essentially … Continue reading →
Yes, we have eight. Housecats. Because we do not want nine. Sneaky (Mr. L calls her Squeaky, and I sometimes call her Sneakers) has decided otherwise. She’s living here. She wants to. She wants ear rubs. On the side porch steps and nowhere else. We oblige. So we have nine. … Continue reading →
Hard to believe I’m not sure what to say about cats today. Rossie and Ajax are returning from their three week sojourn to San Antonio today. Rossie’s socialization showed small progresses but nothing particularly ground breaking. We’ll see how badly she reverts to the mean when she returns to the … Continue reading →
Last week I posted about Rossie escaping to the garage. Mr L lured her into the laundry room to eat and pulled a string on the screen door between the laundry room and the garage to trap her inside the house. Needless to say, she was less than happy about … Continue reading →
As you know, Mr. L took Rossie and Ajax to San Antonio with him to allow him to work more one-on-one with Rossie’s socialization. She responds to him pretty well, and the house is smaller, so she has fewer hiding places down there. She also doesn’t have a lot of … Continue reading →
