I believe I’ve mentioned Zelda frequently, but I haven’t shared any pictures. The other night, she sprawled on the grass near the side porch long enough to capture a picture of her. She was watching Walter up on the side porch. She and Walter aren’t friends or very friendly with … Continue reading →
Week 4 was a leisurely part of the trip. We rode the California Zephyr from Reno to Chicago. Once in Chicago, we rented a car and drove to Wisconsin to spend a few days with my mom and dad. They are doing well. Our visit with them was probably the … Continue reading →
Thirty days in the slammer wasn’t fun for any of us. People coming and going all day (most of us prefer to be left alone, remember), being ushered from one side of the cage to another for room service, and none of our usual humans to interact with us was … Continue reading →
Daisy’s post-spay instructions said to keep her indoors for 10 days. It’s been an interesting experience. I was concerned about what Lady would do. I needn’t have worried. This kitten, who cries at the window to go out, has a growl equivalent to a cat three times her size. She … Continue reading →

We came home from spending the weekend out of town to discover something had pulled the outdoor cat feeder away from the wall and stacked the bricks we use to hold it in place. I was certain Zelda, Nick, and Daisy had not conspired to do that. Unfortunately, the game … Continue reading →
I’ve had a dog house on the side porch in case the outside cats want shelter for a long time. I’d never been certain cats were using it until the game camera began showing Boomer entering and then exiting four hours later. I have a box and newspaper in there, … Continue reading →
Just when I thought the outdoor cat situation was stabilized, a new kitty has appeared. He’s a gorgeous orange tabby. He looks well fed but not well-cared for, so I’m not sure what he will mean to our colony. He leaves if I approach him, so he’s not interested in … Continue reading →
