Cats ‘n’ crates
Tomorrow I’ll tell you all about a cat who lived with me, who I think of every time I end up being adopted by a silly cat like Portia who likes to destroy things for fun.… Read more

Sisters are snoozin’ it for themselves
It’s after two in the morning, I’m tired and ready to go to bed, and I find that my bed’s full of catgirls.
Look, they’re so floofy and cuddly and peaceful and adorable.
There’s really only one thing for it. CANNONBALL!… Read more

The catnappers
Opened my eyes, and what did I see? Portia and Maria kitties nappin’ with me.
… Coffee table book? No. Cat table cat.
A glimpse of our new carpet-less reality.
I laid my bathrobe on the coffee table for some reason that I forget (probably something to do with taking naps on that couch since it’s under a window that allows a lovely breeze into the house), and that table (and the robe) have now become a favorite vacation destination for the fearsome five. The only cat I haven’t seen take up temporary residence on the robe/table is Puck, but he’s a black cat, and it’s a black robe, so it’s possible that he was there, unseen, like a little furry ninja. A slightly fat little furry ninja.
We won’t be able to put in flooring for a while, and I need to duct tape the edges of the entryway tile and the kitchen/dining room tile so they don’t get chipped, but so far… I’m loving sweeping instead of vacuuming. It ain’t pretty, but it’s a hell of a lot cleaner, even if all of my decorating ideas (painting parking spaces for each cat, painting aircraft carrier stripes leading to the rest of the house) have been shot down.… Read more

It’s Portia Day!
For those of you just tuning in, it was about a year ago this weekend that our herd of 2011 rescue animals started showing up, beginning with Portia, an attitudinal little red-headed tabby kitten my wife spotted up in a tree… surrounded by hungry dogs. The dogs were chased off and Portia was promptly whisked away in the tail waggin’ mail wagon to join our family.
She’s celebrating today in fine style. … Read more

Portia’s the baby, gotta love her
This is why the high chair, still in the dining room area and these days supporting various pieces of bric-a-brac (including sleepy Portia, who falls asleep in the thing standing up), needs to go to a new home. That, and the very high likelihood that any further additions to this family are likely to be of the four-legged furry variety.… Read more

Kitten update
Ever wonder about those two strays we rescued last year? Sure you do. I gotta tell you, they were both as feral as cats can get, and they still, to this day, struggle mightily with the life of a domesticated housecat.
Portia snoozes on the clean towels
Maria just crashes where-EVAH
This fight to adjust to their new lives will probably take years. Keep tuning in to Mutual of Omaha’s Mild Kingdom for updates.… Read more

It’s well past time to come out of the closet
…especially since it’s the kid’s closet, and he has to be in bed soon.
So wake up and come on down, Portia!
