Lady and Floyd boarded at Dr. Val’s last weekend. Lady’s stay did not start well. She’s always grumpy after traveling, and she expressed strong resentment for being put in the cage from her carrier after a three hour drive. She attacked the vet tech who was setting up her cage … Continue reading →
It’s been a week and a half since I began weaning Lady from her Reconcile. In that time, the altercations have increased noticeably (from none to almost one a day). I don’t think she’s ready to come off the medication, so I put her back to her normal dose today. … Continue reading →
We were gone for a few days, and Sneaky has not been seen since the night before we left. This isn’t necessarily an indication of something bad, but I get worried. I suspect but have not confirmed that she and Walter do not care for one another. We have seen … Continue reading →
Not much news for the cats this week. We’ve started weaning Lady from the Reconcile. That will take about six weeks. We keep the curtain on the side porch door open during the day so Walter can see in when he comes up to the feeder to each. When we … Continue reading →
I mentioned to Mr. L how Tarzan had seemed unhappy in San Antonio. Mr. L said, “Of course, his adoring legions were all still here.” Of course, that was it. Daphne, Rossie, and Ruby all adore him, and none of them were with me in San Antonio. Also, he and … Continue reading →

The indoor cats are lazing around, enjoying summer indoors. Sneaky is all over the yard, following us at a distance, keeping an eye on things. The cat I’ve been calling Big Gray is a silver tabby (I did not know that was a designation). I’ve been looking for a better … Continue reading →
I’ve been thinking about changing Big Gray’s name to Frosty. I can’t seem to capture it in photographs, but he has a light undercoat on his haunches and other areas that make it look like he’s covered in frost. Thoughts? Big Gray? Frosty? Something else?
Continue reading →The cats and I returned from a couple of weeks in San Antonio. Everyone got their August dose of Revolution when they were released from their carrier. Nobody was particularly happy about that. I petted Sneaky on the side porch for a little while before administering her dose, and I … Continue reading →
Yes, this means another cat has stepped up to share Sneaky’s feeder with her. Big Gray, the cat who only seemed to show up for the coldest of weather, has returned. He’s been here for three days now, and the food is no longer lingering in the outside feeder. He … Continue reading →
