Cats: Surprise!
I was watching Daisy eat a can of food, and Nick crept up behind her, surprising her. This is the three shot sequence the game camera caught of their exchange: Zelda was waiting for me to leave so she would eat.

Cats: In the Dog House
I’ve had a dog house on the side porch in case the outside cats want shelter for a long time. I’d never been certain cats were using it until the game camera began showing Boomer entering and then exiting four hours later. I have a box and newspaper in there, … Continue reading →
Cats: Not Much Going On
The cats’ lives have been mostly quiet lately, but you expect an update anyway, so here goes. Sneaky and Rossie accompanied me on a quick trip to San Antonio for a five minute HVAC installation inspection by the city on Friday. Sneaky was relaxed and enjoyed the trip. She played … Continue reading →
Cats: Lady and Daphne
I’ve spent the week working in San Antonio. I took three cats with me so Rossie could experience a less stressful week. Lady, Daphne, and Tarzan came with me. One thing Lady and Daphne got to experience was plenty of backyard time. Daphne had only been allowed limited access to … Continue reading →

Cats: No Tail is Safe
Daisy has reached that playful age where no tail is safe around her. She attacks Zelda’s and Nick’s tails with equal ferocity. Zelda has been observed playing with Daisy, and I’ve witnessed Nick and Daisy racing around on the steps chasing one another. I think this image captures a compelling … Continue reading →
Cats: Rossie and Feral Update
Shortly after last week’s update, we decided Rossie was not adapting well in the dining room. She wasn’t letting us approach her. She didn’t want to be caught, so I opened the pocket doors and let her walk into the parlor on her own (the classic “me do” if you’re … Continue reading →
Cats: Changes in the Fabric
It’s been a busy week for the Love Cats. First, the outside colony should be stable now. Boomer, sadly, has been humanely euthanized for FIV, but the rest of the news is positive. Amazingly, I was able to easily trap Nick and Zelda on Monday. Both passed their FIV tests. … Continue reading →
