Cats: Veterinary Care
We’re in the season when we begin rotating through routine Dr. Val visits for annual exams and shots. No, we don’t take everyone at once, although it might save us a little bit on office visit charges. Everyone is on a little bit different schedule because of when they came … Continue reading →
Photo: Synchronized Cats
What are the chances of being able to catch the cats synchronized like this? I don’t know, but I managed at least once. Tarzan and Lady (siblings).

Mr. L called me (upstairs to downstairs) on the phone to give me the latest breakthrough with Rossie. She turned her back on him to get a drink while they were in the same room. He thinks this is the first time she’s done this. Natasha’s foster mommy suggested we … Continue reading →
Cats: Dynamics Still Baffle Us

I was out of town for a few days this week, so Mr. L got to experience the Joys of Cats. Apparently, he thought I was unaware of the Joys of Cats, because he saved everything for me. The barf. The aftermath of a kitty altercation that appeared to be … Continue reading →
Cats: Relative Calm
I’m not seeing any signs of the calico who visited a few nights right at the end of our vacation. Sneaky has had a more significant presence lately, and she’s telling the boys who’s boss, I think: Walter and Boomer have both been here. They’re difficult to tell apart in … Continue reading →
