Cats for Adoption: Mimi Says, “For Mother’s Day, Spay Your Cat.”

Mimi waited until today to give her annual Mother’s Day address along with our weekly post about cats for adoption, featuring several homeless rescued kittens…if all cats were spayed before reproducing, there would be no homeless kittens to post. This is Mimi’s wish as a mother of 24 kittens. Much

Daily Photo Reprise: Giuseppe and a Stink Bug, 2011

With some amount of disinterest, Giuseppe, or at least his paw and his big nose, follow a stink bug across my desk, eliminating the possibility of me getting any work done for at least ten minutes. Browse the archive of all daily photos, just photos from the archive or vintage

Daily Photo Reprise: Forward Bend, 2012

Kelly’s hatha yoga bath turns into a sun-warmed meditation session as she pauses in mid-belly-bath to enjoy a moment of nourishing sun in perfect stillness. But when I practice yoga, she is all about instructing me, strolling around in upward and downward cat and talking to me. I don’t get

Daily Photo Reprise: Kelly and the Blue Ribbon Snake! 2011

That’s certainly a wild look on Kelly’s face as she tosses the ribbon in the air, catches it in her mouth and swats it with her paw! Look at those eyes!  I surely wouldn’t want to be prey of any sort to look up and see that coming at me.

Daily Photo Reprise: “I Don’t Like What He Has to Say.” 2012

We have a huge forsythia. It’s bigger than my car, big enough for lots of little birds to settle in on a winter’s day while awaiting a chance at the feeder, and big enough around that it covers a lot of ground. Which, in a neighborhood of outdoor cats, means

Living Green With Pets: A Garden for Your Cats

No one is certain why cats eat grass, or houseplants, or other vegetable matter that shouldn’t be of any interest to them. In the diet of an obligate carnivore green matter plays very little role, and in fact species-appropriate diets approach vegetable matter at the rate cats would find it

Windows, Screens and Cats

I heard a siren, or was it the wind? I knew it was summer and my windows were open, but it was very early and I thought I’d better get up and close the windows if a storm was coming. As I awoke I realized there were no cats with

A Few More Holiday Considerations

Aside from all the toxic flowers and plants popular for this time of year, the spring holidays are fraught with other dangers for curious kitties and dogs for whom the question is, “Is it a toy or is it food?” Cats and dogs will both eat things you’d never dream

Daily Photo Reprise: Mysterious Kelly, 2011

Yes, this is the photo I came to identify with A Little Bit About Kelly, little Kelly’s rescue story. Though I took the photo in 2011, Kelly is ageless in her petite stature, her tortoiseshell coat, her slightly uncertain expression, and she peeked around this wall at me for years.

Daily Photo Reprise: A Little Friendly Bath, 2011

Giuseppe and Mewsette enjoy the warm sunny landing by bathing each other, taking turns, then bathing together. Often enough, these mutual bathing sessions turn into little scuffles as one suddenly decides they’ve had enough, or perhaps words are exchanged that I don’t understand, but they certainly do.
