While working on my photographic skills (especially those involved in dealing with a black cat), I found Lil' Bit curled up on one of my camera bags. She likes to help me with everything...except sitting really still so I can practice on her. Still, this is a better shot than I have taken of her before. PS. Her right eye was injured as a tiny kitten, before we found … [Read more...]
{Almost} Wordless Wednesday
While practicing new camera skills a couple of days ago, Eppie jumped up in the window behind me. I just turned and started snapping, figuring I'd have too much light to catch a good image. Imagine my surprise when I got this 'two-for-the-price-of-one' reflection. And, while I love the reflection in the window, I love this child's blue green eyes even … [Read more...]
BC and the Great American Eclipse
Were you among the fortunate who were in the path of totality? Did you follow the recommendations to be sure your pets were safely inside? While most of our pets live inside and didn't even notice the eclipse, we have a recent addition that does not. BC, our semi-feral boy that I've mentioned before, is still leery of anything changing in his world. So, as part of his … [Read more...]
A Kitty and Her Ball
Cali was the first calico that ever adopted me. She had such a playful spirit, all of her fourteen plus years. She has since gone OTRB. This drawing was done in an art class, about five years ago, when I was trying to learn my way around soft pastels. Do your kitties love to play? … [Read more...]
Three More Days?
Is it possible that its still three more days until the weekend? Not that Bobbie works that hard mid-week but she appreciates the slower weekend pace that allows more time for tummy rubs. … [Read more...]
Kitty Affection
Once upon a time, I was exclusively a dog person. Cats were mysterious pets that other people enjoyed. I liked a good tail wag and lick on the hand, to say nothing of the boisterous welcome home parties. But, once I got to know my first cat, honestly, against my will, I was hooked. It took a long time for her to train me but the bottom line is you have to respect their … [Read more...]
Continuing “Box” Stories
Lil’ Bit here. Seems I got some bad press in this spot last week. Apparently, just because I like boxes and am pretty fast on my feet, some people thought I was selfish. Well, here is a photo of me and my brother, Maxie, [almost] contentedly sharing a new box. I may have gotten there a little before he did, as you can see. I’ve had time to relax a bit. … [Read more...]
Cat in a Box
"Mom got new wool which means a new box. Usually Lil' Bit lays on top of them to stake claim, even before they are opened. But, this time, she must have been asleep. I was in it before she even saw it. And I haven't left it for six days!" … [Read more...]
Sunny Days
The sun was so bright this morning and I got up front just in time to see it sneaking through the slats in the blinds. My hungry babies just happened to be sitting amongst the rays, inquiring about breakfast. … [Read more...]
Inspire me Monday
This 'tree' continues to amaze me with its beauty. Though I adored peonies, tree peony was a new find at a local nursery. She had two! It took a good three years before it bloomed the first time but, oh, the show it puts on. We've enjoyed it for about seven years now. It is a slow grower but is up to about three feet now, on its way to a full height of about five feet. My … [Read more...]

Bobbie
Hi! My name is Bobbie and I’m a beautiful grey and white girl with piercing green eyes. I also have a bobtail! I’ve been with Moms for just over eight years now. I think another person took care of me for a couple of years before her but I don’t remember much about it at this point. Moms says I’m a total sweetheart but I’m a little bossy, maybe even a nag … [Read more...]
Our new Profile Picture
Eppie is the beautiful little girl looking through the window of our Kudzu Cottage. The window is about 4 1/2 feet off the ground, there is no furniture under it. Eppie is a very small girl. So there is the mystery. I was on my way home one day and saw her in the window. I sneaked back around to capture this shot. To this day, I've never seen her get into the window or … [Read more...]
