I had some film developed, and here’s a picture of Percival worth sharing. 🙂

On Old Photos
No particular reason for posting these today. Guinevere took ill and died suddenly several years ago. She was a polydactyl–she had three thumbs. I discovered today that I had these two photos on my hard drive for reasons unknown, and because it’s my webpage I thought I’d share. 😉 In this first picture you canContinue reading “On Old Photos”
On a Needy Cat
I have a needy cat in my lap. Woody hasn’t done this in a while. He came up to the desk, jumped into my lap, made himself at home with a bath, and promptly passed out. He’s in the way. Typing is difficult. Needy! Needy! Needy! I think I may shove the Woodrow out ofContinue reading “On a Needy Cat”
On Cat Toys
Today’s purchases. A new scratching post for the kittens. A cat toy on a string, attached to a stick, for my grandmother. She loves watching the kittens play, though sometimes she thinks they play a little too rough with one another. She won’t touch them, though, and perhaps an interactive toy, one she can dangleContinue reading “On Cat Toys”
On the Kittens and my Grandmother
Saturday my grandmother couldn’t stand the kittens. They ran around too much. They invaded her space. They stared at her. They made her itch. They made her sneeze. Yesterday she enjoyed watching them run around the dining room. Seeing Percival nap on the dining room floor, plopped over on his belly, made her laugh. TodayContinue reading “On the Kittens and my Grandmother”
On Kittens and Baths
Cats hate water. Or so I’ve always been told. But Woody loves to drink out of the toilet; in fact, he gets terribly upset if the toilet seat is down, and from time to time he’s been known to pull the lever to watch the water go down. The kittens had been outside playing, andContinue reading “On Kittens and Baths”
On Burying a Pet
One of the kittens was hit by a car this morning. I was sitting on the porch eating breakfast when it happened. After the hit the kitten ran into a nearby flower bed and collapsed. When I reached it it was breathing. I knelt down and knew. I picked up the kitten, and by the timeContinue reading “On Burying a Pet”
Meet the Cats
I’ve written a fair bit about my cats. Let’s meet them, shall we? The cat on the left is Woody. The one on the right is Leo, the one that disappeared not too long ago. I like the dishes they’re using. I bought them at World Market a few years ago as a peace offeringContinue reading “Meet the Cats”
On Kittens
My neighbors have two cats–Cat and Cheddar. Cat had kittens about six weeks ago. Chedder had kittens Saturday morning. Cat and her kittens are currently living in the storage shed behind my house. Cat is a blue-grey. Two of her kittens are the same. The other three are a lighter, tiger-striped grey. My sister cameContinue reading “On Kittens”
More Thoughts on the Cats
Woody and Tails have been fighting in the house. Tails doesn’t like people. Tails doesn’t like other cats. She never has. Tails sleeps during the day, all day long, and avoids people like the plague. But when the sun goes down, when the world goes still, in the dark she will wander the house andContinue reading “More Thoughts on the Cats”
