Daily Photo Reprise: The Bath Cat, 2010

Dickie insists on giving everyone a bath, whether they like it or not (though I think he prefers fur to skin since I don’t get regular baths, just nose licks from him). Kelly loves her baths from Dickie, though it took him a while to win her over. She is

Peaches and Giuseppe, Sittin’ in a Tree…2010

Well, they’re on the table and they are only “holding paws”, but I know they’re awfully fond of each other—who remembers that grade school taunt? Most of my current readers are accustomed to seeing Giuseppe cuddling with black cats, one of his relatives, but for some reason, from the time

A Sisterly Bath: 2011

Giuseppe is a master at getting someone else to wash his face and behind his ears. All he needs to do is be there and his mom or his sister, or even his brothers, will happen along and give him a little touch-up—or a major overhaul. Giuseppe closes his eyes

From 2010: Senior Mentoring…Youth Warming Program?

We know from his long-distance relationship with Mlle. Daisy Emerald Marguerite that Giuseppe does have a fondness for mature ladies, but I will never know what made Giuseppe so attached to Peaches, perhaps he wanted a grandmama! In any case, from the time he was about a year old until

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. The silent staring

Mimi This Morning

Last year on this day, I fell in love. Or I realized I had fallen in love long before. Surely, when kittens are tiny, momcat doesn’t mind if her babies get the spotlight, a friend was interested in adopting Mimi when the kittens were weaned, and I think Mimi was

Mewsette the Big Little Sister: 2011

A sweet one from last year… Mewsette always makes these little overtures to Cookie, and you can see by Cookie’s reaction that it’s not well-received. You can also see that Mewsette is easily twice as big as Cookie and can take a beating from a sometimes fussy senior tortie girl.

The Unintended Gift: My first cat, and how cats became my muse

Yes, I really did get a kitten in a box under the Christmas tree when I was a child. The story is not glowingly happy and, in fact, includes a few losses, but led me to the cat who eventually became my “first” kitty, and the rest is history. It’s

Today It’s Stacked Black Cats

I can only think there’s some sort of competition happening after the reports of “stacked torties girls” from yesterday. Now, that may be true of Mimi—she tends to show up in any of Kelly’s or Cookie’s favorite spots, looking innocent—but Mewsette has no guile whatsoever, and she was the first

Back on the Butterfly, Reprise

The other day when I ran the first image of my cats sleeping on the butterfly rug in front of the heater vent, I was remembering this image from this day last year, October 6, 2010. There you see three of the black cats with little, little Peaches, Giuseppe to
