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 →
I’m trying to trap Boomer. No luck so far. Here are some trap antics that have ensued in the process: Junior readily entered the trap and was surprised when he got caught. I foolishly attempted to transfer him to a carrier, and he escaped. He came back to eat Fancy … Continue reading →
I’ve seen Boomer more lately, and he’s lost weight. He looks ill, and he’s limping. I’m concerned about him, but I don’t want to antagonize him to try to catch him either. I came across him lounging on the front porch earlier this week, and I took him a can … 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 →
Most people know cats are well-acquainted with the concept of “Taking the High Ground.” Ours are no different, but Daphne (so far) is the only one who practices implementing that concept to the extreme. We located much of our library in the hall at the top of the stairs. This … Continue reading →
While we were gone, Sneaky and Walter seemed relaxed with each other: Well, maybe not: This is Walter: This is Boomer: The black cat came to visit a few times. Walter seemed to be looking for us sometimes.
Continue reading →I have four ways to position the game camera when I’m monitoring outside cats. Each location presents challenges. I call this Location 1. It offers the largest field of view, but no way to tell if cats are using the doghouse or not. The cat pictured was the little calico … Continue reading →
