Tiger the (teenage) Senior Cat
This is Tiger and as you know I am the senior cat in residence. I shall turn 9 this spring in human years (not to be confused with the 9 lives of which I am on # 3) which makes me eligible for cat discounts. The point is, I’m starting… Continue Reading “Tiger the (teenage) Senior Cat”

Daily Prompt: Unseen ~ by Benji
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”

Cat Overtures
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: Relax
‘Relax!’ they said as if relaxing was the furthest thing from their mind. A condemning word to those given over to analysis and rumination.. Rather than commanding a behavior unknown to some I prefer to learn from the experts who have made it their life and art… Continue Reading “Daily Prompt: Relax”

Possibilities
I’ve been watching these two the past few months as they slowly learn to accept one another. Benji is persistent in pursuing his older brother; as fearless and bold as youth can be. Tiger is tolerant to a point and remains gentle even when tested again and again. Though twice… Continue Reading “Possibilities”

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”
