Did I Hear There Was Milk?

Published on April 26, 2011 in animal artwork, cat painting, cat photographs, cats, feline artwork, kelly, my household of felines, photographs, tortoiseshell cats

Kelly shapes herself into a graceful curve in mid-bath as I open the refrigerator door. I don’t give my cats milk very often, but Kelly gets on these kicks where she demands it whenever I open the refrigerator door. I don’t usually give it to her, but I guess it

Suddenly Spring

Published on April 23, 2011 in backyard, backyard wildlife habitat, cat photographs, cats, cookie, spring, tortoiseshell cats

Cookie sits amid the sprouting grass and forget-me-nots, deciding where in the yard to explore first. Just a week ago Cookie’s speckled tortie coat still blended into the background of dormant grass, leaves and twigs and I would often lose track of her when she stood still. Now I have

Cookie as Photo Assistant

Published on April 14, 2011 in cat photographs, cats, cookie, my household of felines, photographs, senior cats, tortoiseshell cats

Photographing framed artwork through the glass is a difficult proposition at best and not always successful, but a helpful tortie can check your angles and settings and add her magic to your skill. Here you can clearly see Cookie’s black knee socks. I’ve always loved her black knee socks. She

Mysterious Kelly

Published on March 29, 2011 in cat behavior, cat photographs, cats, kelly, my household of felines, photographs, tortoiseshell cats

She certainly lo0ks mysterious in all that dappled sunlight as she peers around the corner at me. Kelly used to be very shy and frightened of strangers, but she’s taken up this spot very near the entrance door where she can greet people. She’s very talkative, and while guests are

Catnip Party

Published on March 27, 2011 in black cats, cat photographs, cats, my household of felines, photographs, senior cats, tortoiseshell cats

Three of the girls organize an impromptu catnip party on the sunny landing. Cookie, Mimi and Mewsette take turns biting, licking and rubbing their faces on the upstairs catnip candy cane. It remained peaceful and amiable until Cookie, who started the party, decided to end it by pulling the toy

Mewsette the Big Little Sister

Published on March 24, 2011 in black cats, cat behavior, cat photographs, cats, cookie, feline affection, mewsette, my household of felines, photographs, senior cats, tortoiseshell cats

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. Mewsette apparently loves her little big

Kelly in the Cat Library

Published on March 23, 2011 in books about cats dogs and animals, cat photographs, cats, kelly, my household of felines, photographs, tortoiseshell cats

When Kelly sleeps, sometimes she just looks like a pile of legs. The Cat Library was the place to be for a while there, then everyone got tired of it. It was always one of Kelly’s favorite places, though, and even though the slightly uneven heights of books may not

Cookie’s Spring Adventure

Published on March 20, 2011 in backyard, cat photographs, cats, cookie, my household of felines, photographs, senior cats

Wow, this is the life! I could lie in the sun all day! Yesterday, mom stopped everything she was doing and went outside in the middle of the day. We haven’t done that since I-don’t-remember-when! I know it’s been getting warmer and the days are getting longer—I’ve seen 19 years

Tortoiseshell Cat Stares Down Inner Demons

Published on March 18, 2011 in backyard, black cats, cat photographs, cats, cookie, mimi, mimi's children, my household of felines, photographs

Clever pun, huh? Do you see the demons inside, staring out the door? Five—count ‘em, five—dark solemn beings with pale eyes all staring directly at Cookie? They don’t bother Cookie because she has Tortitude. Ask anyone who’s ever lived with a tortoiseshell cat, or any tri-color for that matter. She

Sweetly Sleeping

Published on March 3, 2011 in cat photographs, cats, cookie, my household of felines, photographs, senior cats, tortoiseshell cats

I’ve been looking at Cookie sleep for 19 years, but I could look at a face like this, nestled in the ruffles on my sweater, all the rest of the evening. I certainly didn’t move my hand too much until she awoke! I know Cookie waited all her life to
