We had a tornado just a few miles west of town on Monday. In conjunction with that storm, we lost another third of our large cedar tree. Thankfully, it didn’t hit the house. A few days ago, I pulled the chip from the game camera and checked cat activity during … Continue reading →
I have no idea if it’s because of Natasha’s demise or other household disruptions (me being gone to the hospital for a couple of days and returning to take up residence in the dining room), but the indoor cats seem to be in some state of upheaval. It’s hard to … Continue reading →
Natasha has always been my special kitty. The photo above was an early photo after she settled into the house when it was just her, me, and Hershey (she ignored Hershey, and Hershey, wisely, paid her no mind) in Alabama. I found her on Petfinder in 2005. She’d been in … Continue reading →

Instead of sleeping on my feet last night like she usually does, she spent all night on the mat. Natasha is enjoying the mat I … Continue reading →
The cats have had a quiet week. To our knowledge, Lady was not responsible for any altercations. However, Tarzan and Rossie had an under the ice cream table discussion in the hall outside the bedroom at 4am this morning. Needless to say, Mr. L was not amused. For some reason, … Continue reading →
When Sneaky’s siblings disappeared two years ago, she came looking in our windows for companionship. I wanted to catch her to get her spayed and examined for health issues. She was too smart to be caught in the trap. That left one thing. Earn her trust. I began with Fancy … Continue reading →
