Walter was outside when we were on the way to breakfast this morning, so I detoured to pet him. He was still here when we got back, so he got to gobble down three cans of food. When he was here the day before yesterday, I noticed he’d been in … Continue reading →
Tarzan has grown into a companionable cat. He’s not clingy, but he wants to be near either me or Mr. L most of the time. If he’s closed out of a room I’m in, he will move heaven and earth to get into that room — including finding a way … Continue reading →
We came home from spending the weekend out of town to discover something had pulled the outdoor cat feeder away from the wall and stacked the bricks we use to hold it in place. I was certain Zelda, Nick, and Daisy had not conspired to do that. Unfortunately, the game … Continue reading →
