The Day We Met Our So-called Daddy

We had always had our mama Mimi with us from the time we could remember, and of course our human mama Bernadette, and we didn’t know there was ever anyone else. What kindle of happy kittens could ask for more? But one day we noticed our mama Mimi was acting

Daily Photo Reprise: Death is At the Door, 2012

It’s got to be good if three dozing kitties wake up and race to the door, every muscle alive with ready tension for action. So what is it?! Hester the Bunny? One of those big fat mourning doves who tantalizingly sit in the middle of the walk? Or is it…a

Vintage Photos: Looking Out the Basement Door, 1997 and 2002 and Today

Cookie and Sophie sit side by side at the basement door, these two BFFs and my guardian kitties. No doubt Cookie was unhappy at not being outside with me but I was likely doing something like cutting the grass and she was much better off inside. Sophie didn’t mind either

Daily Photo Reprise: A Busy Day at Work, 2011

It began in the morning with the boys slacking off in an after-breakfast nap so the senior torties had to take over the greeting detail at the door when a customer came in. Kelly waits her turn as befits a less-senior tortie, but it’s a big step for a kitty

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

From the Archives: Salad Days, and a Certain Tortie in the Salad Bowl

On this day in 2009, Namir watches for critters while Cookie supervises my harvest, or perhaps she’s planning on a sip of my coffee, in the controlled chaos of my garden in springtime. First thing in the morning is the best time to harvest salad greens, especially if they are

A Mother’s Work is Never Done

I can have no pride when Mama Bernadette is on a creative rampage. We caught her digging through boxes and cartons in the entertainment center and she wouldn’t even let us help look, though you can be sure I would have gotten in her way if I had known she

Vintage Photo: My Old Man

“My Old Man”, a sleepy Stanley, on the rocker, on the deck, in the sun, in late spring of his last year with me, 2006. He was with me for 21 years and came to me well into adulthood, so my best guess is that he was 24 here; he

From the Archives: Sophie’s Turn in the Forget-me-nots

We’ve had everyone else in the forget-me-nots, why not Sophie, especially since this photo was taken on this date in 2005, part of the series I featured earlier today. My garden consists of a number of raised beds and wide raised rows and I move things around each year, and

Daily Photo Reprise: Kelly in Forget-me-nots, 2012

These were good memories with Kelly last May. Kelly has been stepping out into the back yard with me now and then, even asking at the door to go out. She’s never shown any interest in the 15 years she’s been with me until this spring, and I can’t help
