You may not have known this, but... I haven't always lived with Mom and Foster. I was given to Mom by a student, years before she retired, so at first I lived in her classroom. Back when her English learner class raised $50 to "adopt" a baby panda from the San Diego Zoo, students started …
Okay, I realize my last post was about plants... but this one is about plants with a purpose! You may remember when Foster was smaller, we went on a mission to attract hummingbirds. The first plan was to put the feeder as close to the window as possible so I could get close up photos …

It has come to my attention that I am living a somewhat sedentary lifestyle. Having had classes at two separate schools every day for the last 6 years of my teaching career, often traveling between several classrooms and wings at a single site, I did a lot of walking. But since I retired, although I …
Hey everyone! It's me, Foster, and I have a new adventure to tell you about! But first, a bit of review... You may remember this picture from my first "Home Alone" post, back in October when Mom had jury duty for like eleven days. I wasn't exactly home alone, because she was only gone during the day. So …
Yes, I know it is supposed to be "Fish in Water"... but we are dealing with Foster here. Need I say more? Have I mentioned yet that this cat likes to play with water? Awhile back I started finding a variety of cat toys in his water bowls. He has food and water in two places: …
I might start by saying that no, my cat is not spoiled! It's just that he's an indoor cat, and I know he likes to look outside. Plus I enjoy watching him playing and climbing on things. And now that I'm retired, Pinterest is just way too accessible! Okay, that was the disclaimer. Now it's …
Hi everyone! Foster here, ready to tell you about my latest adventure! Yep...another trip to Grandma's house! I figured we were going somewhere when I found myself in my carrier one morning last week. It could only be the vet or Grandma's, and I didn't think I was due for any shots, so it had to …
Hi all! It's me, Foster. Mom and I went on a huge adventure for Christmas! And because I was so well behaved, she said I could do a post about it! I knew something was up when Mom bought this new cat carrier. I figured, okay, we're going to the vet, that's no big deal. I can …
Panda was missing. One of the last times I remembered seeing him was the morning I woke up to this sight; he had apparently been put in "time out" the night before. Maybe he got offended and decided to run away...but since neither he nor Foster are allowed outdoors, I knew he couldn't have gone far. But he was …
Hey peeps, Foster here! They say confession is good for the soul, and Mom thinks I have some confessing to do, so... For the past week Mom has been going somewhere she calls "Jury Duty"...Don't know what that's all about, but it's resulting in my being left by myself just about every day for hours …
