My last Boomer sighting was on kitty cam on July 30, 2016 at 9:30 pm. He has not been well for some time, and at this point, I suspect he has succumbed to his illness. I have more clarity on some of our kitty visitors. The beautiful male gray kitty … Continue reading →
Tarzan has been quite a trial lately. For safety reasons, we compartment Sneaky into the dining room and downstairs bathroom area. Rossie and Sapphire are compartmented into the parlor and kitchen area. Most of the cats choose to spend the day in the parlor and kitchen area, but if they … Continue reading →
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 →
We’re experiencing a quiet day in May. Cats are lounging. Rossie got up and played for a couple of minutes then returned to her rocking chair. Sapphire and Daphne played earlier, but now, Sapphire is back in her usual lounging place on the tower, three feet from me. For a … 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 →

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 have to go to San Antonio next week, so I moved Sapphire’s spay appointment to last Wednesday. Our girl is doing well after surgery. The other thing we did every day last week was spend some time snuggled. After the initial approach where gloves were necessary, I only used … Continue reading →
Sapphire is the feral kitten I trapped several months ago. She’s going in to be spayed at the end of the month. By my calculations, she’s 7 months old, but Dr. Val’s best guess puts her at six months old. We’re each willing to accept the other’s best guess, because … Continue reading →
Maybe this is why Rossie and Lady have so much trouble getting along. Most of the time, when I look at Rossie, she has this look in her eyes: With cats, a steady stare is supposed to be a sign of aggression. In Rossie’s case, I think it’s a passive … Continue reading →
