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. It is a wonderful intersection indeed, though not always easy. We get along well… Continue Reading “Today’s Reflections from Benji”

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”

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”

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”

Daily Prompt: Enthusiasm lives in a cat named Benji
ENTHUSIASM lives in a cat named Benji . It starts before dawn when the morning is heavy and I am twisted and sleepy and he touches his nose to mine. I stir and stroke his head and that is all. Undeterred he touches my cheek with his paw and meows quietly. “Ah, go away… Continue Reading “Daily Prompt: Enthusiasm lives in a cat named Benji”
