"And it was not the men in the orange jackets!" François gave us the information as the rest of us listened in stunned silence. At length the hamster spoke up. "If it wasn't them," he began, "then who was it?" We were in Paris investigating the recent theft of the crown jewels from the Louvre, …
Swedish Pets from Long Ago First, I doubt Foster has any Swedish in him. But he enjoys looking "vintage" in the front room, so I tried editing this image to make it look even more "vintage". We do have some vintage pet photos in our family, but not a lot. I really like this one, …
A look back at some cool pictures Mom took The other day Mom was reading a post by one of her blogging friends, Leah, at Catwoods Porch Party. In it, there was a cute picture of Stripey, a tabby like me, in the sun. It made Mom remember that she had once done a post about …
Indoor cats have to get creative. So one thing about us cats is that we love to hide. Not that we necessarily have anything to hide from, it's just part of our nature. There's just something about knowing that nobody can find you that appeals to us. If you're an outdoor cat, you have an …
Life Hacks by Foster You might remember reading Mom's post, "Life Hacks by Debra Kay." At the very end she posted this picture and said that a good hack for cats if they want attention is to sit on top of their human's crossword puzzle book. Then she said, "More about that later". Well, I'm …

I thought some more. "I give up," I said at length. "What day is it? "Dude!" Panda responded, "It's your six-year cattiversary!" …
So. When a "certain cat" drops your bobby pins down the sink... I guess I should have known this was coming. It all started in October of 2017 when I decided to replace the faucet in the bathroom sink. This is not, however, to be confused with the new sink in the guest bathroom, which …
"The naming of cats is a difficult matter." "It isn't just one of your holiday games. You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter, when I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES." I can't speak for everyone, but I have always loved "The Naming of Cats" by T.S. Eliot. …
