Insights from Tiger and Benji and other cat stories

Day in the Life of  a Tri-Pawed

It’s a cat’s life. A three-legged cat, that is. I took Benji outside to the backyard for his morning constitution. Sometimes he’s content to rest in the grass and watch the birds; other times he only has escape on his mind. This was one… Continue Reading “Day in the Life of  a Tri-Pawed”

Independence Day? Not yet for Benji

For the past month or so, we’ve been letting Benji out into the great outdoors of our backyard. You think he’d be happy with that, and he is, but what he really wants is freedom. Freedom to explore outside the confines of the fence.… Continue Reading “Independence Day? Not yet for Benji”

Mornings in the Garden with the Cats and the Birds

I’ve always enjoyed spending time outdoors, in my garden, and lately it starts earlier in the day.

Life is full of Adjustments, Just ask Benji

I don’t know if I would have adapted as well as Benji had I lost a limb, but that boy is adjusting well. The surgery was three weeks ago, and the stitches and bandage removed one week ago. His right back leg is gone,… Continue Reading “Life is full of Adjustments, Just ask Benji”

Time to Tell You About Benji

First of all, he’s as sweet as ever and adjusting to his new normal. It’s been a rough road the past couple weeks and I’m finally ready to tell you the story. “Is it okay with you, Benji?” “Sure, Sue. Just no bad pictures… Continue Reading “Time to Tell You About Benji”

Not the same Species – A Story from Tiger Long Ago

Okay everyone, this is Tiger and I have something to say. I have it pretty good here, indoors and out; the food, the sleeping arrangements, the toys, I can’t complain.  The humans that live here are great too and I guess you could say… Continue Reading “Not the same Species – A Story from Tiger Long Ago”
