Grant and Wideband

Posted on January 30, 2018 by Oldcat

I’ve gotten a few comments about Grant’s coloring – shaded golden.  Not the most perfect golden by breeder rules, but striking nonetheless.  The first thing you need to see is that he’s a tabby cat to start with.  He’s also … Continue reading →

The tooth gap is healing up fine, less a bit of tenderness if bitten on.  Still a bit tired on and off but I’ve been taking it easy.  Usually there’s one or more cats about with me. Grant can have … Continue reading →

Afterward

Posted on January 25, 2018 by Oldcat

Visiting Anna

Posted on January 21, 2018 by Oldcat

Took the camera up during the visit with Anna today.  She’s chipper enough, although she did go nose to nose with Grant a week or so back and hissed at him.  These days she a bit more mild mannered. Grant … Continue reading →

Small Fry Memories

Outside Time

Posted on January 15, 2018 by Oldcat

I had an Amazon delivery today out front so I let the cats out to explore a bit.  Not surprisingly, Rhea who is a bit of a pro was bolder, but Sherman had almost as much interest.  There were people … Continue reading →
