I’ve never given my cats as much latitude for the unrestricted outdoors before now. Mostly a product of having mostly semi-ferals, and a dash being the last house on a dead end road. Since I’ve ...

Last night, I was getting ready to get on our weekly family video chat so I was letting the last of the semi-ferals in. As soon as I shut my door, I got a text from my neighbor asking if I was ok...

Penny, one of Wu Tang’s kittens, is on that border of feral/socialized. She lets me pet her when she’s in the house but outside has no idea who I am or why I’m near her. One of my favorite thing...

---

Since trying to save their dumb lives, and keep them sheltered in a snow storm, the Pekins have refused to come to my yard. They’re happily traveling the neighborhood still, while avoiding my yar...

---

There’s all the jokes about cats being liquid or just plain defying the laws of physics, and then there is Diamond. He is a tiny little runt I picked up at Kroger with his littermates. I had no ...

David had his last injection today. He enters the observation period tomorrow and has to make it till February 18th without a relapse or we have to start treatment over from the beginning. His bl...

---

David coming to the end of his treatment is extremely bittersweet. I am beyond thrilled that my little marshmallow cat has survived 12 weeks of treatments for a terminal illness. I have known him...

Once I figure out how to add photos it’s all over for you heauxs.
