Insights from Tiger and Benji and other cat stories
The many faces of Benji
“Hey Benji,” I said. “I’d like to take some pictures of you to submit to American Rescue Cat magazine. They’re looking for their next Cover Cat. You’d be perfect. Just pretend I don’t have a camera.” “Sure! Love to!” he replied. “How’s this?” “Hmmmm,” I said. “Very… Continue Reading “The many faces of Benji”

My first snow
This is Benji and today I got to see my first snow. It made the world white and cold. Soft and wet. I liked it best from my warm printer perch. I like snow. ~ Benji

Tiger ~ there’s a long winter ahead
This is Tiger and I gotta tell you it’s not been easy training my little brother, Benji. No, he’s not my blood brother even if there is a resemblance. We couldn’t be more different.

Still Tiger, with most favored feline status
This is Tiger and I thought it was time for an update lest you think I was a most unhappy cat after little you know who moved in not long ago. Not to worry. Today I was out surveying my kingdom unhindered, while the skies were… Continue Reading “Still Tiger, with most favored feline status”

Observations from Benji the teenage cat
Hi. This is Benji and here are my observations on life so far. I am not yet one year old in human years but in cat years I am a teenager and thus, very smart. Do you think my chopped ear looks good? It makes… Continue Reading “Observations from Benji the teenage cat”

Six months and 50 posts ~ but who’s counting?
Well I guess I am. Counting that is. I was an accountant after all, a long time ago in a galaxy, far, far away. Now, enough of the numbers. The main reason I started this blog was to encourage myself to write and to have a fun place… Continue Reading “Six months and 50 posts ~ but who’s counting?”

Tiger and Benji, Almost Brothers
This is Tiger and after much consideration and with some resignation, I have decided the new kit known as Benji shall be allowed to stay and share with me in my domain. Not equally of course but in part and only after maturity has been reached.… Continue Reading “Tiger and Benji, Almost Brothers”
