I’m going to pout just a little bit. I see all kinds of people who have cats adopt them. These cats or cuddly and playful and allow them to handle them. You’ve heard of the Land of Misfit Toys. I seem to have become the Land of Misfit Cats. Except, … Continue reading →
As some of you know, I headed to San Antonio last Sunday to do long overdue yard work. I was here long enough at the end of May to do a quick mow, but other than that, I haven’t been here long enough to do real work since April. It’s … Continue reading →
It seems to me, just a few cats have been getting all the attention lately, so I think it’s time for a generic update on everyone. Here goes: Ajax: The old man alpha cat with soul-searching eyes. He’s long, tall, and skinny. He’s Mr. L’s 11-year-old baby. Most of the … Continue reading →
Daisy is slowly integrating into the household. She holds some of the other cats at bay by growling. She’s become intrigued by Tarzan. Tarzan, of course, mostly ignores her. She has tried to play with Rossie, and Rossie steps away and looks at her as if to say, “Please!” Daphne … Continue reading →

Other than our sad news about Nick earlier in the week, the cats’ lives have been quiet. At one time this week, we had four cats lounging on the tower at the same time. I think that’s a first. Rossie was in the bottom “bunk.” Lady was in the middle … Continue reading →
This morning the risk with outside cats became a reality for our household. As near as I can pinpoint it, an hour and a half ago, Nick was running across the street toward the house and got hit by a car. He was killed instantly. At 9:40 this morning, Mr. … Continue reading →
A few days ago, I came upon Zelda and Daisy lounging on the side porch steps. Notice anything interesting? Daisy has an appointment for spaying on April 3. She’s been taking after her mother and been reluctant to be handled, so I’m going to begin trying to catch her next … Continue reading →
