butterfly chair for Hobbes many years ago and he eventually tired of it so
it was stored away in the closet.  I realized Barnabus might enjoy it so I
brought it back out.  Barnabus realized right away ...

MMMmmmmm. Right now I have four pairs of pitiful little eyes watching me,
and have discovered that Congo (biggest, fattest, and most masculine kitten)
has an extremely pitiful, small, weak, kittenish mew. He is also very good
at looking starved; probably why he is so hefty. For ...

It's St. Patrick's Day, so I will pass on to all of you my dear Irish
grandmother's strict admonition for the day:
"Don't forget to go to City Hall to get your @$$ painted green."
When I was younger, I used to imagine this as a rather solemn civic

I was asked about my whisker jar recently.  I keep cat whiskers because
I very rarely find them and consider it a good omen when I do. I seem to

about it.  She requires a cushion to sleep on and access to the ...

We started to have trouble with one of the Litter Boxes not clumping, all
the litter was damp. So we took it out of service for a cleaning and now one

After almost a week of Clavamox, Rusty is losing his appetite. He hardly
touched his
dinner tonight.  I tried to spoon feed him to no avail. Tomorrow when I go

...or maybe two.  I never used to give the cats treats, mostly because
Sundance's delicate digestive system is easily upset by new foods.  However,
someone gave me a bag of cat treats for Christmas, so I've been handing them
out occasionally.

Well, it seems that Charlie has adopted a new person.  I sent him to
