New for me in iOS 17, cat stickers!
iOS 17 was released this week and for once (or maybe, first in a while), I got to enjoy a new feature, stickers! You create them pretty quickly in Photos. Then you add them to your ready-to-go stickers in Messages. … Continue reading
1963: The first cat in space!
Last week, I forgot to write about the first feline who went to space after a dog and I figure a couple chimps or monkeys. The kitty’s name was Félicette, one of many strays rounded up from Paris and drafted … Continue reading

Summer ’23 Fosters left
A little sad tonight because the Summer ’23 foster kittens left today. They were reunited with their other siblings and I think their mother. My friend whose name is also Summer, has homes for them lined up when they get … Continue reading
It almost rhymes!
What a great and funny picture! Oddly, of all the cats in my life, they only like to sit on the seat part. If there is one article of clothing they do climb into and look like they’re wearing it … Continue reading
Agamemnon is making more progress than I am!
What is it with him? Aggie has some kind of cat-risma with kittens! They seem to trust him despite all the food I lure them with, I can’t get them to approach me. The two little sisters stop being skittish … Continue reading
It’s working out faster than planned!
Caught them hanging out this week in their “funny” position! Now the burning question I have for both of them. Does this mean you like each other and will be buds for life? Or is it like those funny stories … Continue reading
The adult feral cat has been turned in for TnR
Still don’t know which gender this cat was but we made no progress on getting them to calm down, plus they’re a bad influence on the two kittens. Yesterday was the final straw as they tore a hole in the … Continue reading
We have a new cat playground-jungle gym!
Jennifer is just spoiling the new kitten we got and I’m OK with that. It was also a reason to pay her son Mason for some extra chores by having him assemble this beast of a setup. I’ll have to … Continue reading
Meet the Summer Fosters
One surprise over my birthday weekend was picking up these three. The two kittens are female. The semi-adult is too hostile to tell. So far the gray tuxedo is the most mellow and will be the easiest to domesticate. Currently, … Continue reading
Welcome Klothos (aka Chloe)!
There is a new kitten in the Maggi house and she’s very bonded to Jennifer, it was in a matter of hours! Her name is Klothos, one of the three Fates from Greek mythology. She is a Highland Lynx (hence … Continue reading
I thought it was for changing diapers
This graphic could come in handy if your kid is a discipline problem. Just threaten them with a baby changing station, preferably at Pet Smart or Petco!
Crazy Cat Lady starter set from Playmobil!
Odd, it only comes with four cats?
Catsitting! June 2023 edition
While my good friend Marian (I was misspelling it with an ‘o’ all this time!) is off on an important trip, I’m tag-teaming on making sure her animals are all OK. This is the only cat who socially interacts with … Continue reading
A little of the light side for cats everywhere
Mystery solved! Even the monster under the bed needs to be comforted and kitty cats provide it. They don’t judge. We don’t have to sweat this since our bed goes all the way to the floor…OK, Rhea proved there was … Continue reading
Goodbye Spring ’23 Fosters
The day we were bummed about came, the foster cats were ready to return to Austin Humane Society where they will undergo sterilization and then be ready for their forever homes. Given how difficult they were to get into the … Continue reading
