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”

This is Benji and every day is fun when you’re outside and unseen. My favorite spot is on the perch Bob made for me. It’s best when it’s sunny and dry but it even works nice in the rain because the branches overhead provide… Continue Reading “Daily Prompt: Unseen ~ by Benji”
