Meet our Spring ’23 Fosters!

Trying to do our part for the millions of homeless cats and it’s Spring, which means the mammals of the Norther Hemisphere do their thing. Thankfully we got in early so this will be an easier fostering job, only two … Continue reading

Every…damned…day

To be fair, this isn’t behavior exclusive to male cats with orange-colored fur. At Jennifer’s place, the nuisance cat was Cody until she passed and in my old household, it was Nemo because he was at the bottom of the … Continue reading

Happy Caturday! CAT-DMC?

And this is why I always put the cover down on my turntables! I hope the DJ who let these little orange stinkers do their thing was playing something expendable, Prince’s Batman soundtrack readily comes to mind as per Shaun of the … Continue reading

A couple, local, tough customers

To celebrate Caturday this week, here are two cats who live near my house. I often see members of their “colony” around a neighbor’s house but given the super, super cold weather, I didn’t bother trying to pet them. I … Continue reading

Happy Caturday, from these two terrorists

Last week, we hosted these two little jerks at our house since the “kids” had nowhere else to hide them for reasons best not stated. Above is the misleading, adorable Morpheus who has a beautiful gray coat with spots. He … Continue reading

A friend’s cat is slowly trusting me

For today’s cat enjoyment, I present my friend Marian’s cat whose name I rudely forget. She is pretty sweet but still learning her way around the house along with who can be trusted. The kitty is having to acclimate with … Continue reading

Dragon’s Lair has always had a shop cat since I first started going there in 1994 and it was just a big house in Hyde Park. After Mayday passed away, I can’t remember if it was pre-, during or post-COVID, … Continue reading

Aggie’s “girlfriend” comes by

This calico dropped by in my recently shorn backyard to taunt my cats, namely the smitten Agamemnon. I like to think he has a crush on her since he’s the one who alerted us to her presence and we didn’t … Continue reading

Aggie’s new nap spot during working hours

Due to a certain cat (Nubby) having a horrible habit of chewing through Ethernet cables, I’ve had to close my office door on non-work days whenever I want to write (Picauyune), do the books, etc. Agamemnon didn’t like this. Like … Continue reading

Iffa aye-uh fitsa, aye-uh sitsa!

Coming home from Vegas today/tonight

Had to say goodbye the other day to my new little friend Cee Cee, the lead cat at Tahiti Village hanging out in the landscaping. He was my favorite because he was talkative and slept by a palm tree with little … Continue reading

Metztli is dapper

Before Jennifer went to sleep for the day, as you may recall, she’s working overnights for the next couple months; she made this funny little TikTok movie of Metztli. A little silliness at the kitty’s expense since Metztli prefers to … Continue reading

Kind dog helps a kitten out of the rain

It’s little moments captured on camera that warm my heart and give me hope, especially when our fellow mammals demonstrate kindness and compassion for one another. If they have this innate ability, then humans have more potential to do this. … Continue reading

Solo living through a long weekend

Yesterday, I dropped off Jennifer and her friend Shannon at the new Terminal Two at Austin’s clusterfuck called our airport. They were flying to San Diego and then driving over to Tijuana today. Shannon is getting some surgery which is … Continue reading
