We have been discussing the pros and cons of getting a Christmas tree this year.
Pros:
Oh the smell is heavenly (we would only get a live tree).
Helps to set the festive mood.
We get to go up into the attic and plow through years of memories looking for the Christmas boxes full of ornaments. I know I […]
Since dropping Baron off to his new home, Ray has emailed me six times. Each report is more encouraging. After first whining, pacing and scratching at the door where I vanished out of, Baron started settling down. Ray said it took him about 5 hours. Now, he is downstairs in the store, and he meets […]
This morning, we left bright and early to take Baron to his new home. Ray, a retired corporate worker immediately took to Baron and I think Baron liked him too. It was hard to tell, because every time I tried to leave to give them some privacy, Baron went ballistic. We have really bonded, but […]
This morning while I was grocery shopping, I quickly grew tired of fighting
my way down over-crowded aisles. Trying to get my cart past shoppers with
cell phones glued to their ears, and battling the flood of children who
seemed to crowd every aisle wore me out very quickly. So, in order to grab a peaceful moment, I […]
Guini is a special kitty. She is also a special needs cat. She was intentionally run over by her previous owner, and denied vet care. Her bones did eventually heal, but Nature wasn’t as kind as a surgeon’s skilled hands.
She is pure white with golden eyes. She has lived on the floor of our bedroom […]
Suddenly, without warning, Baron has begun to attack the kittens. The first time it happened, the attack was so quick (we had just left the room for a second) that we almost missed it. But when I noticed Shimmer huddling in the corner and went over to see what was wrong, she was all wet […]
The kittens are having a field day. With all this wet weather there has been a re-awakening of the low-flying beetles ironically called Rain Beetles. These bugs are flying through the wires of the cat enclosure and the kittens, spying these wonderful, slow-moving treasures- scoop them up and bring them into the house.
I try to […]
Not as subtle as waking up to a cat rubbing his face across mine, or purring in my ear. The noise that woke me up this morning was a result of a nasty storm and crazy drivers. I am unsure what it is about bad weather that makes some people decide to drive over the […]
Riley’s water park also masquerades as a pet fountain. He is a tuxedo kitty who is fascinated by the bubbles that the pet fountain creates. He lies on his side and stretches his paw up under the cascade of water until he tips over the reservoir (which thankfully comes tightly capped). Once he has the […]
One of the latest arrivals keeps vomiting. It’s the polydactyl male and I’m not sure why he keeps vomiting. He has tested negative for all the known infections, he has been dewormed and deflead safely. He seems to only throw up in the evening after I put everyone to bed. I am wondering if it […]
