I have a friend that I have known for many years. She called me the other day and as soon as I heard her voice, I knew her world had collapsed. All she said for me to know this, was “Hi there it’s me.”
She never calls me unless she just can’t take life anymore. […]
Stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic today on the way to Portland, I noticed on the center meridian a cat! It was gray and white, looked really scraggly. There were trees and bushes for protection, and there wasn’t anyway we could get over and park and let me see if I could catch it. It looked […]
Received a phone call this morning from my vet’s office. All the local animal shelters are full up and there are at least 12 kittens that need homes and have nowhere to go. I have seventeen right now. There is no possible way I can open up my home to any […]
The following email was passed to me by a good friend. Because Mike and I recently found what we believe to be Cleo’s remains in the woods behind the house, this woman’s project really hit me in my heart.
I share it now on my blog with the hope that those who are reading might […]
This is now day #23 of no Cleo sightings. I have to face the fact that something happened to this beautiful manx-cross and after fourteen years of living with us, he is gone now. I have stopped putting out food at night, I stopped a few days ago, knowing that if he was […]
Guinevere now has a new cave set-up in the bedroom. She has been getting a bit nervous lately. Our neighbor across the way has just purchased a wolf hybrid. Sadly, this dog is left on a chain all day and all night. He likes to howl his discontent to the world. The howls […]
Thanks to the efforts of Neil at SpoilMyKitty.com the pet stairs are turning into a real blessing. Each night now, she climbs up the stairs (awkwardly) and snuggles into my arms for the night. Her purr motor is fully engaged and I go to sleep with her safe in my arms. If I […]
Today will make 15 days since I have last seen my manx-cross Cleo. In that time frame major changes have taken place in the location he felt was his home. The barn that he hid in, has been bulldozed to the ground, the wellhouse torn down and workers have been crawling underneath the house as […]
It was just a small spit as the clouds passed on the way over the mountains but it was still snow.
The cats are nuts right now with the change in the weather happening so suddenly. The wind was really blowing and it was quite cold. We will be putting up the outside barriers for […]
I need to put on my magicians cloak and turn a editor’s idea into a story. The person I am interviewing is very difficult to get in touch with, and when I do contact her she knows next to nothing about the subject at hand.
The weather is turning colder. The Cat Writer’s Convention is coming […]
