Braving the torrential rains we’ve been getting, we put up the new tarp on the cat’s outdoor enclosure yesterday. As we did, there were several furry faces observing us from the kitchen windows, anticipating a return into the fresh, albeit freezing, air. Despite the uncomfortable weather, the cats love being outside, especially Bruce and Toby. [...]

The cat’s outdoor enclosure is closed once again for repairs. The temporary tarp we put up hasn’t lasted very long, and the new tarp is covering the cat’s furniture. Unfortunately, this is backwards. We’ve been hit by several storms that will continue for at least another week. This forecast isn’t well-received in the HOP. Thus, [...]

Our most wonderful friend that gave us his generator during the black out, recently came to get his generator. When he saw the cat’s furniture out in the driveway, he asked what we were going to do with it all. We told him that we were going to get rid of it because it was [...]

This week has been beautiful so far, but cold. It’s been so nice in fact that we’ve cleaned out and reassembled the outdoor enclosure for the cats. The one tarp that wasn’t too badly damaged is topping the enclosure once again. There are a few holes and tears in a few places, but it’ll do [...]

Once again the cat’s outdoor enclosure has been closed and dismantled due to the severity of winter weather. And, once again, the cats are very unhappy. However, this year the enclosure was almost completely destroyed except for the metal frame and one tarp. As a result of the brutal winds, rain, and snow all of [...]

Today’s Pictures of Cats show some of the quiet moments I captured during the winter storms that hit Northern California last week. When it’s cold, the cats aren’t very active. Instead, they would rather sleep and snuggle and look longingly out the big, front room window. Notice the sad and dejected faces.

After surviving the first (and only, I pray) winter storms of 2008 and the succeeding black out, I’ve decided (grudgingly) to make a few resolutions for this year. The first resolution, for the happiness and health of the cats, is to save up the needed money and buy a generator. We’ve never needed one in [...]

The House of Purrfection makes its home in Northern California, and yes, we were hit by the huge storms. For more than a week we’ve experienced rain, high winds, snow, hail, and falling trees. While this is par for the course in these parts, the storms that announced that 2008 had arrived were indeed fierce [...]

1.    A good cat is a precious thing, above rubies, gold, crowns, or kingdoms, and the work of owning it is the noblest labor on earth. 2.    Cats carry their glory with them as the ruby wears its color. 3.    Every cat is bound to aim at the possession of a good human, as one [...]
