Julius Gets His Day

Posted on November 25, 2011 by Oldcat

More pictures from the other day’s fight with a shoestring.  Here’s Calpurnia about to go for the hanging string.  She would lunge at it from time to time and then retreat back to her pad. I had a real “aww..” … Continue reading →

Stir Crazy?

Posted on November 22, 2011 by Oldcat

Gus Takes Over

Posted on November 21, 2011 by Oldcat

Even though Gus is the first to dash off into the garage or upstairs into a hidey hole when the vacuum cleaner comes out, eventually he comes back out and shows himself again.  This time the first thing he did was to … Continue reading →
