Then and Now

Posted on August 31, 2011 by Oldcat

Here is a picture of Young Gus in 2003 to compare with him today.  He would be about six in this photo. The white on his nose is advancing a bit upward, visible especially well on the left.  There may also … Continue reading →

Flashback – The Bigger They Are…

Posted on August 30, 2011 by Oldcat

Let’s go back to October 2002, Julius’ first day here.  He seemed to be doing fine, and my only problem was that I was getting sicker and sicker so that instead of spending my entire time with the kitten I had to … Continue reading →

Posted on August 29, 2011 by Oldcat

Mondays are always a trial for the cats since they have gotten used to being able to go in and out, even if it was too hot to do so. The house doesn’t get that hot during the day but … Continue reading →

It’s been hot the last two days for about the first time in a couple of years. The official temperature for the city was 102 yesterday, and presumably a little less today. My house happens to be a bit higher … Continue reading →

Outtake Friday

Posted on August 26, 2011 by Oldcat

The last couple of photo sessions out produced some odd pictures that didn’t fit into the other posts. So I collected them here.  Some might call this laziness, I call it genius. Here’s a picture of Gus looking totally normal. That’s what’s wrong with … Continue reading →

Date on Slate

Posted on August 25, 2011 by Oldcat

Mr. Julius is all Politeness

Posted on August 24, 2011 by Oldcat

Julius was a very proper gentlecat yesterday when sharing the straw plaything with Calpurnia. When she was playing with her end he sat very properly watching her and waiting his turn.  Here he is a little distracted by a noise … Continue reading →

Shared Moments

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Oldcat

The end of the day today was a little different, as we all four wanted to enjoy the slow fading of the sunlight together instead of off doing our own things. The fact that three of the four are cats … Continue reading →

Artsy Post

Posted on August 22, 2011 by Oldcat

I was taking some pictures as the daylight faded. This is often the case when trying to get some pictures in after work. It seems that if I am close, I get a spotlight like effect, and the background gets … Continue reading →
