Kitty Bliss
Most mornings after I rise I settle into my office with coffee in hand and shortly thereafter a kitty will appear. If Tiger, he will saddle up next to the chair for a good scratching. Benji will take the lap as he did this… Continue Reading “Kitty Bliss”

A Tiger in the Garden
While waiting for my coffee to brew this morning I took a quick walk through the garden. The dew was still fresh everywhere and I found the Lady’s Mantle covered in jewels. I also found this handsome Tiger sleeping. Maybe that’s why they call… Continue Reading “A Tiger in the Garden”

Today’s Reflections from Benji
Good Morning to humans everywhere and especially to Sue, my paws down favorite. Today I am in a reflective mood, pondering the mysterious intersection of the feline life and the human life.

Benji’s Bathtime Antics
Good Morning from Benji! As you know we felines are the cleanest animals in the kingdom and do not need nor do we rely on any human facility to remain so. In fact, humans have much to learn from us about continuous and natural cleansing. Even so,… Continue Reading “Benji’s Bathtime Antics”

Another cold and rainy day in the Pacific Northwest and a Monday besides. Though all things are green in the garden, work will have to wait. We have been promised a day of sunshine this week and are hoping the promise is not vain. Tucked… Continue Reading “Rainy Days and Mondays”

A Harrowing Night in the Shed
This is Tiger and do I have a harrowing tale for you! It all started out innocently enough yesterday. Benji and I were sporting about in the garden, helping Bob and Sue with various tasks, digging, chasing, and advising on work to be done. Bob… Continue Reading “A Harrowing Night in the Shed”

Cat on a Cold, Wood Roof!
First let me say I have had many cats throughout most of my adult life. Black ones. Brown ones. Gray ones. White ones. Long haired, short haired. Small and large. I saw them jump. Play. Chase. Hunt. Climb trees. All the things that cats do. But I never, ever,… Continue Reading “Cat on a Cold, Wood Roof!”
