The kitty situation is reasonably static. Sneaky and I are spending a lot of time together while I recover from knee replacement surgery in my recliner in her room. Periodically, she cavorts with a catnip mouse, and that brings a smile to my face. Ajax cannot stop pestering Sneaky, so … Continue reading →
Happy Saturday. Time for an indoor-outdoor cat update. Let’s start with the outdoor cats. We haven’t made a holder for the feeder with the timer yet, so I’m putting out a bowl of food in the morning. Walter is usually around between 2 am and 9 am. The long-haired gray … Continue reading →
Negotiating household peace with nine cats is a feline balancing act. Until I began adopting the ferals, I never had feline territorial war problems. All my cats just got along. If you’ve been following along for the last couple of years, you know that hasn’t been the case. First, we … Continue reading →
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 →

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 →
Delta loves to help me get dressed in the morning. She inspects each item of clothing and ensures she rubs on it to mark me as hers. Delta is most approachable in the morning. She sleeps beside my feet and shins all night. In the morning, she likes me to … Continue reading →
Is anything new? Maybe. I’ve detected one, maybe two different cats on the game camera. One cat is decidedly different, but it has markings similar to Daphne’s. The other cat may be Boomer, but I can’t really tell. Boomer had a large head and shoulders, and this cat doesn’t seem … Continue reading →
I ordered self-heating cat mats, and they arrived this week. I wasn’t sure who would like them the most, but I think Delta has spoken. 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 →
