A Conversation with Tiger – concerning Benji

“Thanks, Tiger.” “Sure, Sue. For what?” “For being so accommodating these past few months. I’ve had to spend so much time with Benji (understandably so) I feel like I’ve neglected you.” “No problem, Sue. He always was high maintenance. Even before his mishap.” “I… Continue Reading “A Conversation with Tiger – concerning 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. As a tripod, Benji must be supervised outside, and I’ve been yielding to his demands first thing in the morning, only fair since he lost his night… Continue Reading “Mornings in the Garden with the Cats and the Birds”

In the Garden with the Cats and the Birds

It’s different than it was, but I still enjoy spending time in the garden with the cats and the birds. Tiger is free to go outside by himself, but Benji must be supervised. I’m hoping he can learn from Tiger to stay safely within… Continue Reading “In the Garden with the Cats and the Birds”

March Comes in Like a Lion or Perhaps a Tiger!

Tiger – From the Box

“Hi Tiger. I’m glad to see you’re using your new box.” “I’d like to post a picture, but you look a bit grumpy in this one.” “Sorry Sue. I was trying to sleep. How’s this?” “Perfectly debonair, Tiger. Thank you.” Happy Caturday from Tiger.… Continue Reading “Tiger – From the Box”

Comforting Cats in Sickness and in Health

After good health for all of 2023, the new year arrived and brought me a cold, remember those? Not the bad one going around that lasts up to 3 weeks, but apparently the shorter version, just a few days long. Still, I was miserable… Continue Reading “Comforting Cats in Sickness and in Health”

Happy New Year from the Cats and the Birds!

Today was fresh and green, just like the new year, and I was called into the garden. The cats joined me for a while, Tiger content to inspect and meander, Benji, escaping under the fence. I filled the wheelbarrow with winter debris, then looked… Continue Reading “Happy New Year from the Cats and the Birds!”
