It’s late Summer which means it’s catsitting time again! Actually, catsitting for our friends the Lowrys is a year-round matter I always enjoy because I’m addicted to petting cats. They usually go on vacation in the Summer to escape the … Continue reading →

Last night we picked up this cat tower generously donated to us by our friends Tina and Jeremy. It took about 10 minutes to get our three more adventurous cats to check it out but once they caught the scents … Continue reading →

After getting Somara’s truck back on the road and my other meeting down south being a bust, I returned home in a decent mood (I’ll have no trouble finding another buyer for my iPhone). I noticed a dead cat on … Continue reading →

Couldn’t resist reposting this cat cartoon-short even though our four cats have never done such a nice “gesture,” the selfish little furballs. Then again, we live in Central Texas so it would probably be a dead lizard or a tarantula.

Just a quick heads up in case you check my site every day or every other day and the number of new entries drops off a bit. Wicca’s health took a turn for the worse recently and the vet’s current … Continue reading →
