Tortiepalooza
Whereas: only 9% of cats in Tabby’s Place history have been tortoiseshells. Whereas: we are presently graced with no fewer than six torties. Resolved: this is cause for massive celebration.
Cabbage patch kittens
At Tabby’s Place, it’s known that even when “kitten season” is considered over, kittens will continue appearing. But in the case of Aro, Renata and McKenna, what’s less understood is exactly where they’ve appeared from. In fact, I’m inclined to wonder if they’ve sprung, blossom-like, from the hardiest roadside wildflowers. Or, perhaps, from the proverbial […]
Kicking off 2010 cutely
Cuteness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. And Cutie is now in the home of a family beholding her with the eyes of love. Yes, it’s a very Happy New Year indeed, fellow cuteness-lovers.
Santa Lucia
There are many advantages to having human beans write this blog. One key perk: getting to sing the songs of the cats too humble to toot their own trumpets. Behold the bashful beauty that is Lucia.
Five days away
Vacation is good. Being with family? Molto good. But being away from the Tabby’s Place cats for five days is distinctly sub-good. Good heavens, it’s grand to be home.
The shy black cats of Suite C
It’s inevitable. At least once a week, during the course of a tour of Tabby’s Place, a wide-eyed visitor will ask me, “Do you really know all of the cats’ names?” I understand their surprise – 100+ cats is a lot. But do you really know all of your friends and family members’ names? I’ll […]
Christmas with the cats
Merry Christmas, beloved Felis Catus community. It’s my deepest prayer that, today, each of you would feel the full force of God’s huge love for you. I believe with all my heart that the cats, and their love, are a glorious reflection of that very love that is their Source. And, in the Christmas spirit, they […]
In Memory: Erin
For every cat adorer, there’s that one cat who started it all. This December we had to say a gut-wrenching goodbye to one of the great ones. There are no words for how much I miss this little pixie of a cat, and I am far from alone. As Erin was the cat who started his […]
Two are better than one: Steeeeee-ven and Mahalia
Take one marmalade aspiring Houdini. Add the soulful sweetie who’s the last kid from her family picked for the adoption team. Blend with Mr. Adopter Jr. Within a week, ingredients will yield one forever family.
From the offices of Barrister Grey
Last week I received an e-mail from a certain Barrister Grey, notifying me that I “have been selected for a conformable Bank Draft of £1.850,000.00 Great British Pounds.” Some might think that this is spam. But we know it’s just that mellow goofball of the Community Room, Mr. Grey, having a bit of fun with his […]
