Posted on January 31, 2012 by Oldcat

Bwahha

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Oldcat

Gus was outside for a bit yesterday himself.  He tends to avoid the direct sunlight because of his dark fur.  There was enough sun to light up those whiskers of his, though. He still prefers the front – when Julie ran … Continue reading →

Outside Calpurnia

Posted on January 29, 2012 by Oldcat

It was a nice warm weekend so obviously its a perfect time to get a major head cold.  The door was open, but I noticed that Calla was spending a lot of time upstairs still.  This is odd because last year … Continue reading →

Who says I’m scary?  I’ll kill them for saying that! It was another warm night and the door to the back was open.  Calpurnia was upstairs on her own, and Gus and Julie were outside.  Julie came down from the … Continue reading →

Cat Flop

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Oldcat

Cozy Cabinet

Posted on January 25, 2012 by Oldcat

It was a warm day tonight, so the door was open.  I went outside and found Julius on the wall, and the light behind him made a halo of his loose fur. Very pretty, but not the kind of thing I … Continue reading →
