Gallery

Morgan is the youngest cat at 3-1/2 years old. She’s not normal. It’s not because she has only one eye. It’s because she’s a people cat. I don’t have people-friendly cats. I can take a perfectly normal cat and within a … Continue reading

My mother and I never looked alike. We had different coloring and different shapes. We didn’t wear the same shoe size. Our tastes were different. We were different (or so I thought). For the last 35 years of her life, I … Continue reading

My cats love catnip. It’s like crack cocaine for cats. Fortunately, it’s legal in my state. Don’t worry. They don’t inhale. After weeks of endless discussion, finger-pointing and fruitless promises, I made new catnip mousies. The opened catnip jar brought them … Continue reading
