This picture shows a very docile Tee Tramp. I assure you that is not always the case. See that gray t-shirt beside her? And the green fabric string? When my husband comes home, they become Tee’s toys. The t-shirt becomes the “t-shirt of death”, and if you look closely, you can see drops of my [...]

My husband likes to go on long motorcycle trips, and I usually stay behind. I love motorcycle riding, but long trips often interfere with my schedule one way or the other. And no matter how many times he goes, I never quite get used to his absence. Last night he’d been gone five nights, and [...]

I can’t decide if our two cats like each other or not. One minute they’re laying on the floor, facing each other, about four feet apart. The next they are hissing and spitting. There are blows exchanged, but no battle scars so I doubt their ferocity.
One of the funniest things they do I call [...]

I don’t know Miss Kitty’s past. She came to us at the age of six months and her personality was so different from our last cat. He was always with us whereas she would disappear for days on end. He would lay on the couch and sleep with me. She came in to eat, then [...]

Frisky is my husband’s nursery cat. As a very young kitten, she was dumped at his place of employment, a nursery specializing in pine trees. Unlike our other two cats, she never comes to our home and she enjoys large crowds of people. During lifting season, the time of year when the young trees are [...]

Miss Kitty came to us after the death of Tramp, a very noble dude cat. I just felt something was missing from my life, asked my friend for a cat, and vavoom, there she was. Her hair is black and gold, a tortoise shell as the vet calls her. Because of her coloring, my [...]

This morning I was working on my Saturday chores and thinking about a story for this website. My Roomba vacuum cleaner systematically cleaned my floor as I loaded the dishwasher. Roomba is made by iRobot and is now my new best friend. Cleaning floors has always been a chore I avoided, and recently while pushing [...]

When I was in high school I had a cat I loved dearly. One night I dreamed the cat was talking to me about heaven, telling me how wonderful it was. I asked, “Does this mean I’m going to heaven”? The cat replied, “No, I am”.
The next day my mom called me and said, “I’ve [...]

Meet Tee Tramp. She came into my life one November day and I am so thankful for her. People are always dumping animals where my husband works. Tee was one of those animals. After he caught her, instead of hissing and spitting at him like most cats do, she rubbed against the cage and meowed. [...]

I came home from work today and there she was, my best friend Tee Tramp. We went through our daily ritual. She jumped on the bed and rubbed all over me. I in turn rubbed as much of her as she would allow. Then I combed her to remove the excess hair that frequently [...]
