Davout was the intrepid backyard explorer today.  Things were a little bit different since we had a dose of Santa Ana winds – hot dry air and high winds all afternoon.  So there was a bunch of debris … alright … Continue reading →

Cat Fishing

Posted on April 28, 2014 by Oldcat

Tonight I sat over by Rhea to entice her into playing.  She got so into it that Davout came over and then Julie too, although he didn’t jump up to the table.  Perhaps it was Rhea threatening to eat him … Continue reading →

Garage Day

Posted on April 25, 2014 by Oldcat

She’s resting now, but not only did the kittens get some outside time, but they also got some inside time in the one place they hardly get to go into, the garage. I’ve been meaning to de-mystify that area for … Continue reading →

Outside with the Kittens

Posted on April 24, 2014 by Oldcat

Or not so kitten-y.  Davout will turn a year old in early July.  Rhea is older now that Davout was when he came here in December.  They are getting used to going outside, and also more inclined to come back … Continue reading →

Nothing Exciting

Posted on April 23, 2014 by Oldcat

The cats spent some time outside but I didn’t take any pictures.  So I took some inside.  This half of the room works like a light box in a studio.  He’s even doing that over-the-shoulder look! While Rhea just snoozes. … Continue reading →

Red Dot

Posted on April 22, 2014 by Oldcat

The kittens are the first cats I’ve known that like the red laser pointer dot.  I broke it out to give them some action today. It certainly does hold their interest! The problem is the poor things never can catch … Continue reading →

Gus Comes Home

Gus’ remains came home today.  I got a nice little urn and they fit nicely next to Calpurnia’s box.  He spent a lot of time sleeping at the base of this book shelf in the last few weeks. Over these … Continue reading →
