Bringing Sneaky into the house has produced some interesting dynamics. Surprise #1: Lady is wary around Sneaky. Surprise #2: Ajax has been very aggressive toward Sneaky. (Not too surprising, since both were in charge of their respective domains.) Surprise #3: Delta, who defers to Lady, stands up to Sneaky. There … Continue reading →
The game camera is so quiet without Junior and Sneaky prowling the porch. I get barely 200 photos over a two day period, where before I’d get nearly a thousand. That speaks volumes to how quiet our outdoor kitty world has become with the loss of Junior and the subsequent … Continue reading →
We’ve experienced an interesting week. First, an update on an unpleasant topic: Tarzan’s irritable bladder. After we clearing the infection, we began treating him with Adequan. This is, as I understand it, a hyaluronic acid formula, and studies have shown it soothes a kitty’s bladder, preventing repeat problems, which result … Continue reading →
Mr. L was feeding Junior and Sneaky their morning cans of Fancy Feast this morning and was able to lift Junior from the ground to the step while Junior was eating. That was his exciting news. Then Mr. L told me about my “problem.” When Junior popped out from under … Continue reading →
We came back from San Antonio, and Sneaky avoided us for nearly a week. I finally set up the game camera and caught her sneaking around in the middle of the night, assuring me she was alive and well. Whew. Why was she avoiding us? Mr. L surmised it was … Continue reading →

Sneaky came inside for a little while, and she visited me while she was investigating the parlor for the first time. (She was getting ready to walk on my laptop keyboard and type her first Hangout message, which, I believe, was “poo”–more literate than most cats.) Rossie has been spending … Continue reading →
This post, scheduled for today, didn’t have a topic until late last night. Circumstances postponed my purchase of a home video surveillance system discussed in this category last August. I’m trying to figure out some things the cats are doing, so I conducted a search on Amazon earlier this week … Continue reading →
Me, too. Well, I know where I am. I’m in the Central Texas location. I guess the question should have been, “Whatcha doin?” That’s was we always say Ajax is asking Natasha when he approaches her. I know what I haven’t been doing. I haven’t been writing. I haven’t been … Continue reading →
2009 has been an interesting year. It’s my first full year of retirement. There’s still no time for boredom. We experienced some sadness. My paternal grandmother died in February — complications of old age. She was my favorite grandmother when I was younger — she was a kid’s grandmother. She … Continue reading →
