Kitten rescued at work!
With all the negative news given that we live in the Stupid Ages, it’s great to know about an ugly situation ending happily as it did for this kitten. I have nicknamed the uncommon female orange tabby Mela! It’s Italian … Continue reading
Cats “know” their name
There are more details of the study through this link but the short version is that cats probably don’t “know” the sounds coming from our mouths are their name, it’s an association they’re making of us wanting their attention. Dogs … Continue reading
Satine enjoying the shelter I gave her (March update)
Satine’s belly is starting to show her pregnancy which is pretty easy, she isn’t very big due to her age. This morning I managed to catch her holding still long enough for this cute picture. I did manage to convince … Continue reading
Satine update for mid-February
It appears Satine has either forgiven me and/or isn’t too bright because she lets me pet her again after trying twice to wrangle her into the carrier. Needless to say, I failed but thankfully I wasn’t scratched seriously. The unnamed … Continue reading
More progress on Satine!
I hadn’t seen Satine on the porch in a few days and this morning there she was! It seems she had eaten up most of the food I left out. Petting the little stinker hadn’t happened in a while but … Continue reading
Isis is starting to visit me on the bed!
Gradually, month by month, Isis is growing braver in visiting us to sit and sometimes lie down on the bed. She’s still jumpy if there’s sudden moves by any human and other times, Kuroneko goes into bully mode as she … Continue reading
More progress on Satine with a photo
Satine is definitely growing more comfortable hanging around the house…because she knows there’s a free meal in the works. I finally got a good photo of her sweet face. Of all the torties I’ve seen, her pattern is the most … Continue reading
Progress on Satine (the stray cat)
Like most cats, Satine is slightly conditioned to hang around our porch because there’s a chance of free food. The weather has warmed up so it isn’t to sleep in the cat cave I bought Miguel. I have gained some … Continue reading
Meet (Duchess) Satine
Just as Nature abhors a vacuum, whenever one stray cat is removed (usually adopted), another takes up the vacancy. Over the years, various cats have used our back porch to sun themselves or as an impromptu shelter, especially during the … Continue reading
Rest in peace Fuff
Sometime this Fall, a sick asshole poisoned my in-laws’ cat which in this era of Uppity Deplorables doesn’t complete surprise me. It’s a huge reason why my cats live indoors and I do whatever I can to rescue the strays … Continue reading
Somara is home! Hooray!
The only bad news is that she has a cold, nursing it since Amsterdam. First stop on our way home Friday evening wasn’t dinner (even if Somara was well, too tired to eat) but HEB for NyQuil®, tissues and chicken-noodle … Continue reading
Miguel sighting for January 2018
As always, I recognized his swagger in the dark. Miguel was looking decent and he came up to me upon being called. He wouldn’t hop in the car so I carefully scooped him in, he’s still semi-feral which means he … Continue reading
Moment of sharing or bullying
Caught these two sitting together which is pretty uncommon since Isis will only lie on the bed if we’re gone or unconscious. Sadly, I think Kuroneko is only “sharing” Isis’ favorite chair to assert her alpha status. Note, they’re not … Continue reading
Angel meets the MeeperBot
One of my earlier experiments of a POV movie at the cat level. My subject is Angel, one of the cats I housesit for. At first he was curious, afterwards he is just annoyed. I would like to see how … Continue reading
A heart-warming fact from my local Petsmart
Had to go by yesterday to buy some cat litter, noticed there were no cats in the adoption center too. The checkout lady said they’re often gone in a week. It’s nice to know given poor Miguel’s situation along with … Continue reading
