The year went by so quickly
One year ago, I brought home a little Siamese-tabby mix that was being called Lily. Her name quickly changed to Meimei, and I discovered that she was a month older than they guessed she was when she went into heat … Continue reading
More cat pictures
I think the internet doesn’t have enough cat pictures. Up first: Gracie, who needs to have more pictures taken, because I’m noticing her goofball brother has about three times the pictures in my folder as she does. Below: Tig, right … Continue reading
What’s under Meryl’s desk?
I like my new desk. It’s transparent. And apparently, I’m not the only one who likes it. The UPS is warm and cuddly to a cat, seemingly.
The mystery of the missing mew
A few weeks ago, I started wondering if Gracie was coming down with something again. About a year and a half ago, I took her to the vet’s on the strength of the fact that she no longer mewed or … Continue reading
Caturday morning lolz
Tig and Gracie decided to pose for some photographs that could use captions. 1. This one proves that Tig 3.0, just like Tig 2, is a duuuuuuuude. 2. The view from my great room. Tig loves to look down on … Continue reading

The day after Caturday
Since I forgot to post these yesterday, here they are today. Tig wanted to get some exercise, so he was checking out whether or not he should use the Gazelle Glider. (Yes, he really is that long. Longer, I think. … Continue reading
Random fact of the day

Surprised kitten
Via Glenn Reynolds, a few seconds of amusing adorability to get your mind off the world’s problems. (It’s a little less treacly with the mute button on.)
By request: Kitty pics
Several people have been asking, so here they are. First, Miss Gracie, doing what she loves most: Relaxing in the sun in my office (which I think is now her office). Since I work from home most days, Gracie spends … Continue reading
A midday visit, with pictures
Sarah and the kids were in town today so that Jake could retake a couple of parts of the test for the gifted program. He was sick and on meds when he first took the test, and didn’t score highly … Continue reading
I, for one, welcome our feline overlords
Proof positive that cats own us. Researchers at the University of Sussex have discovered that cats use a “soliciting purr” to overpower their owners and garner attention and food. Unlike regular purring, this sound incorporates a “cry”, with a similar … Continue reading
