Beautiful Pictures of the Dog

I just couldn’t resist taking a few pictures of Avita this morning since she was lit so beautifully by the morning sun. And, I was very lucky to get them without her moving. Usually, when she sees me with the camera, she’ll leave the immediate vicinity. So, I guess she was too comfortable to get [...]

Smelling is Believing?

When I was about 8 or 9 years old, our family was preparing to move. The house we were moving from was wonderful for several reasons, but the size of our property was the most wonderful. On the half acre lot there were the main house, a granny house with a huge garage for my [...]

Update: Thinking of Our Cat’s Future by Experimenting Big

After a week, we realized that our big experiment with the litter boxes wasn’t going to work. Even though we were thinking first and foremost of our cat’s comfort, we were also hoping to make our house cleaning easier and quicker and keep from spending money on cat litter. We’ll have to look elsewhere to [...]

Feline Observation: We’ve Become More Complacent than the Cats

While watching the cats enjoy their Sunday treat (canned food), we noticed that Michette ate next to Reina. In fact, they were eating from the same plate. She was also surrounded and flanked by a couple of other cats. However, Michette didn’t growl or run off before she’d had her fill, only to return later [...]

Out with the Old, in with Furniture That’s Easier to Clean!

This entire week, Mom and I have been throwing out everything conceivable into a 30-yard dumpster we ordered on Monday. It’s filling up with everything that we don’t need, want, or that’s been destroyed by the cats; mainly by the cat’s marking. Also, we’ve thrown most of the outdoor furniture into the dumpster that had [...]

Pictures of Cats-Three Little Kittens: Three Months Old

I’m a little late posting these pictures of the three little kittens at three months old since they’re now nearly four months old. But, hey, better late than never, right? Enjoy! _uacct = “UA-3905945-1″; urchinTracker();

Thinking of Our Cat’s Future by Experimenting Big

Next year is potentially a big year for us and the cats, so we’ve endeavored to save money by cutting down on spending and economizing in preparation. Living with so many cats (I begin so many sentences with these words), much of our paychecks go towards kitty things: food, litter, vet bills, toys, etc… However, [...]

Cleaning Out the Cat’s Outdoor Enclosure

After the fires and the evacuation several weeks ago, we were faced with the task of cleaning up all of the ash that lightly covered everything on our property. Instead of sweeping, we washed off the ash using the garden hoses, as was recommended by the town. As we were cleaning out the cat’s outdoor [...]

Litter Boxes: Back by Popular Demand

The cats asked for more litter boxes. Well, they demanded that we get them more litter boxes. Ummm, in reality, they already began showing us where they’d like more litter boxes placed in the HOP. So, back by popular demand, we have supplied the cats with two more litter boxes. Now, there’s one more in [...]

Three Little Kittens: Big Sisters

I was so happy when I could finally allow the three kittens to mingle with Zoe and Smudge because the kittens needed kitty attention instead of only human attention. My two girls have been devoted and loving big sisters. Therefore, the kittens have enjoyed their motherly attention, multi-cat socialization, and bonding. As a result, they’re [...]
