Grandma the Cat Whisperer
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”

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”

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”

Hopeful: Reflections from Tiger on my lives so far…
This is Tiger and I have something to say as 2016 is coming to a close and I am in a reflective mood. One human year is quite long for cats and this one was not easy for me. When it started out I was still missing my big brother… Continue Reading “Hopeful: Reflections from Tiger on my lives so far…”

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”

Tiger ~ there’s a long winter ahead
This is Tiger and I gotta tell you it’s not been easy training my little brother, Benji. No, he’s not my blood brother even if there is a resemblance. We couldn’t be more different. I’m the strong one with the white feet; he’s the pipsqueak with the chopped ear. … Continue Reading “Tiger ~ there’s a long winter ahead”

Let sleeping cats lie…..
I must say that sleeping humans are not that cute (with the exception perhaps of baby humans.) They are twisted and have messy unmanageable hair and bed-clothes and sometimes thrash around. Indeed humans do not wish to be seen sleeping, nor to be seen waking up… Continue Reading “Let sleeping cats lie…..”

Notes on Tolerance from Tiger and Benji
More nose to nose. Less rebuke and hissing. More close encounters of the peaceful kind. Less misunderstanding the intentions of the other. No, I’m not talking about the country (though that would be good too.) I’m talking about Tiger the resident tabby and his new… Continue Reading “Notes on Tolerance from Tiger and Benji”
