Cat-related matters

Angel trying to live up to his name’s rep

Posted on August 14, 2015 by Steve

Normally this giant furball (he’s often pretty sweet except during baths and medication) prefers to sleep on the grand digital piano. Recently I spotted him by my friend’s classical (or is it concert-hall) harp. I like how he mews for … Continue reading →

Happy birthday to my kitty Isis

Posted on July 11, 2015 by Steve

Unlike some cowards in the Middle East and at FXX, I’m sticking by this name since it fits her and she continues to respond to it. Her birthday picture is a looping GIF because cats are like children, they don’t … Continue reading →

Real life version of the Owl and the Pussycat

Posted on July 2, 2015 by Steve

Only in Japan, a country my friend Doc once told me was the land of cuteness and based upon his descriptions, Hello Kitty was just the tip of the iceberg. I have been following Love Meow for some time and … Continue reading →

Cat Month!

Posted on June 3, 2015 by Steve

Thank you Jackson Galaxy for notifying me that June is adopt-a-cat month. The funny video makes the argument to adopt a second cat to keep the first one company. I would agree about this despite us going overboard with four.

Happy 13th birthday Nemo!

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Steve

The only cat we’ve had since he was a kitten has “graduated” to retirement age, as if cats ever do anything to make a living. OK, they bring us joy unless they’re urinating or puking somewhere we don’t want them to! I … Continue reading →

Happy Eighth Birthday Maru!

Posted on May 24, 2015 by Steve

Japan’s most famous Internet cat star celebrates middle age and his owner has put together a greatest hits. Japanese co-workers explained to me what Maru’s name meant because the only use of maru I knew was “boat” or “ship” as per … Continue reading →

The kitten passed away on the porch

Posted on April 22, 2015 by Steve

I should’ve called in late to work and/or taken the poor thing to my veterinarian but I foolishly assumed Harlequin was the concerned mother. Meanwhile, I stopped by Petsmart to get a nursing kit along with two cans of formula to … Continue reading →

Kitten born on our back porch

Posted on April 21, 2015 by Steve

Poor little thing was lucky we left the bathroom window open because I could hear the weak noise a newborn kitten makes. It’s not quite a mew yet, it’s more desperate sounding. No idea about the kitten’s gender neither. It appears … Continue reading →

The front yard stray Gilligan

Posted on April 13, 2015 by Steve

I named him so because he’s my little buddy, plus he’s small and I think the other strays pick on him. Gilligan could’ve been somebody’s abandoned pet due to his friendliness but in my experience, it isn’t a guarantee. How else did … Continue reading →

New cats in my life

Posted on April 6, 2015 by Steve

We remain a four-cat household and when Miette passes, we will stick to our promise of being a three-cat only household. Despite the headline, we’re not turning into a crazy-person cat hoarding shelter. It’s about my in-laws’ new kitten to … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Miette!

Posted on April 1, 2015 by Steve

My little weasel cat from the Salado apartment days is celebrating what may be her last birthday with us. As of today Miette is 16 years old, probably older since her origin is unknown being a stray cat. She was … Continue reading →

In their hearts, all cats are French

Posted on March 23, 2015 by Steve

What I love the most is the cat’s impeccable timing to speak but some cats are pretty good conversationalists with humans.

This is why I cannot work from home

Posted on February 22, 2015 by Steve

I was confused about why this office had so many cats around and then realized these people run a litter box company. So they’re really testing the hell out of the product because a dozen cats can create a biohazard in … Continue reading →

Cat Castle

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Steve

What an awesome solution and a what dedication these homeowners have! I wish I had their means to keep the cat litter smell at bay.
