Buffy was on the back of the couch today looking out the window. Rather than watching the hummingbird feeder, she was staring intently at the ground. My first thought was she had spotted a lizard or a snake. Nope. It was a Carolina Wren taking a sand bath. :) Buffy was fascinated. The bird...

His mega diet is upsetting his digestive system now and his poos are loose but when he absolutely had to poo in the bath overnight last night, he did it over the plughole which enabled it to be flushed down easily. How thoughtful is that? :-) I'm going to ease off on "as much as you want" and...

Spicey has been getting injections for the past few weeks. I found something that distracts her enough to allow me to handle her back and neck safely - Liv-a-Littles freezed dried beef treats. Spicey loves the flavor of her treasts, and they're tough like jerky and force her to chew and chew and...

He is much more himself. Today he resumed meatloafing on his quilt on the freezer in the conservatory and jumped the 5 foot gate at the side of the house. He hasn't done either thing since his fight, so I am guessing whatever damage he sustained stopped him from jumping. He really loves lying...

Got home tonight and Dave greeted with the news he thinks Spirit has died...... She's lying under the bathroom sink, he's poked her and even Bonnie has had a look but she isn't moving She's got into such a small corner I have to look twice to see where she is and she does look so still I grit my...

I wouldn't actually call it a window sill. It's more like decorative molding/ledge in the corner behind my small desk. I was surprised she managed to perch on it. http://i58.tinypic.com/24x2ptl.jpg From there she got an excellent view of all the birds flitting about in the yard and the...

Saturday I did the cat boxes (I ususally do them Sunday but someone (I think Bonnie) had a touch of the runs so they needed doing) As usual I emptied the soiled litter in 2 bin liners (if I only use one it's too heavy for me to cart downstairs and I don't want it splitting on the stairs- happened...

Christina's dream reminded me of this funny clip of encounter at a window between a cat and a mountain lion: https://youtu.be/Vnmxg4h_Mio

Dave's physio has now reached the point where he can do the stairs (or it did but then he overdid things and sprained his knee). Problem was he'd get tired half way down and needed a break but had nowhere to sit. At that point we have a little landing but not big enough to put a chair there....

But they aren't terribly brave. Since moving into the new house just about a month ago, my visitors are pretty well convinced that I have imaginary cats. Oh, they see the feeding bowls, the cat tree, the litter robot. And of course the fake little furry mice. But actual physical cats? Not one...

Dot, Buster, and I were playing together so high up in the a deep blue sky! Buster was chasing teeny-tiny airlines pulling themselves slowly through wispy clouds that clung to them like cotton candy. Dot hopped from cloud to cloud and explored eagerly. I was admiring the stars up above, and below...

I was in the hospital with pneumonia a nd now at a rehab facility. Rather than burden my neighbors with feeding Cotton for a long period, Cotton was taken to the shelter until i can go back home. I miss my sweetie pie.

There is only 1 calorie difference between 7+ and the 1+ per pouch (which I've put him back on until I found this out.) So, it would seem, as I suspected, that the cause of Boyfie's weight loss was due to stress through bullying by that black cat as medical causes are ruled out. Poor chap, how...

He was startled to be woken up at 6 a.m. for his breakfast. He did get up but left a lot of it. I was going on a coach trip to meet my half brother, his wife and my half sister. I've only met them a couple of times before. I made arrangements for Claire to feed him at 3.30, which she did and...

In the wee hours of the morning Buffy jumped up at the foot of the bed and startled me. I must have been dreaming (don't remember about what) because I kicked out and she went flying. Awwww, Buffy, I'm sorry! She was crying; she sounded so pitiful. Meowmie, why did you do that?! I turned...

I made the mistake of wearing a black tank top yesterday and Buffy spent a good amount of time on my lap. My shirt was covered in white-tipped fur. Ooops. ;) We had a nice grooming session earlier this morning. Buffy does love being brushed. Of course I give her scritches at the same time...

Several people in my new community had told me about Max and Francesca, but the other day I was biking down a block and I saw them; I knew it was them as soon as I realized what I was seeing. Max is a big dog. You could almost put a saddle on him. He's beautiful and must be a service dog because...

Buffy loves her golf ball. She also loves to hide it and make me go look for it. She often tucks it inside or under her crackle-sack. I pretend not to know where it is... then I find it and we have a big play session. She certainly is not the timid cat I was told I was adopting. :) Jill

Apologies to all who have been/are experiencing drought conditions. Where I live in South Carolina it pretty much starts raining in July and stops sometime around October. It's fairly predictable, afternoon showers or thunderstorms start around 4PM. It finally stopped raining for a couple of...

This is a clever idea: http://www.sciencedaily.com/videos/024b2a13326edcaccc6343c6e20072e0.htm If they did it in our village and followed where my Ollie went, the camera would be looking down off high walls and deep inside...
