I’m going to pout just a little bit. I see all kinds of people who have cats adopt them. These cats or cuddly and playful and allow them to handle them. You’ve heard of the Land of Misfit Toys. I seem to have become the Land of Misfit Cats. Except, … Continue reading →
As some of you know, I headed to San Antonio last Sunday to do long overdue yard work. I was here long enough at the end of May to do a quick mow, but other than that, I haven’t been here long enough to do real work since April. It’s … Continue reading →
It seems to me, just a few cats have been getting all the attention lately, so I think it’s time for a generic update on everyone. Here goes: Ajax: The old man alpha cat with soul-searching eyes. He’s long, tall, and skinny. He’s Mr. L’s 11-year-old baby. Most of the … Continue reading →

Ajax is guest posting this week, sharing his story of unexpected solitude. I’m not going to say how it happened. Suffice it to say sometimes I follow Dad, and this time I did. Mom and Dad were gone to two and a half days, and I found myself in an … Continue reading →
For well over a year, we’ve noticed that nearly everywhere Zelda goes, she is accompanied by a mockingbird or two. These birds incessantly chirp at her and frequently dive-bomb her. Zelda is remarkably laid back about this constant harassment. I captured some of what she deals with on the game … Continue reading →
Thirty days in the slammer wasn’t fun for any of us. People coming and going all day (most of us prefer to be left alone, remember), being ushered from one side of the cage to another for room service, and none of our usual humans to interact with us was … Continue reading →
