This is Benji and life is good for me and Tiger. Our day begins very early when Bob lets us outside when it’s still dark and Sue is sleeping. We chase the small ones in the bush and watch the birds come to life… Continue Reading “Side by Side”

I don’t know exactly how or when it happened, but I do know that these two boys, rescued from previous lives that left them uncertain and scarred (within or without), crossed over from merely tolerating each other to real brotherhood. I only know they… Continue Reading “Benji and Tiger, Brothers”

Benji is a very sweet and cuddly kitty. But don’t let that fool you. The boy is action packed and often full of pent up energy. When you see these eyes, know that he is about to blow!He flies around the house at cat-speed,… Continue Reading “The Brotherly Antics of Tiger and Benji”

This is Tiger and I gotta tell you it’s not easy being the oldest cat in the family. They let that boy run wild and do things I would never have gotten away with. Times change, I guess. Flying around the house. Howling at… Continue Reading “Still the Handsome Tiger”

This is Benji and let me just say it up front, right out loud: I am not a vegetarian. No, not from my youth. Neither were my ancestors. Nor my big brother Tiger. We are all hunters. If this bothers you then read no… Continue Reading “The mouse had no chance”

Don’t tell Benji but I am not as brave as he thinks I am. Oh, I hiss at him all right and swipe at him when I must. (Part of the training. He must learn after all.) But it’s all for appearances. I won’t hurt the little… Continue Reading “Grandma the Cat Whisperer”

The room was cozy and warm and Tiger was sleeping on the bed alone. I’m tired too and decide to join for a nap. A few minutes later here comes Benji. “Still room,” he thought to himself. “Perhaps if I’m really quiet he won’t notice.” Tiger’s… Continue Reading “Cat Overtures”
