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 […]
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.
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 […]

When I was kid all the boys wanted a ray gun. What could be cooler than toting a nifty-looking weapon that one could use to fry anything that got in your way? What’s this got to do with cats?
This little gray girl has a tale of woe befitting a blues singer. But, like the gospel singer for whom she’s named, Mahalia still lives her life with a song to sing and a joyful spirit. And, at every step of her perilous journey, there’s been a guardian angel or ten easing her along to […]
Unlike human beans, cats are blissfully anxiety-free when it comes to “body image” issues. Every one, of every shape, size and quirk, is beautiful, and every one knows it. It’s one of the numberless reasons I admire them. Yet amidst all the beautiful cats we get to love, every so often one stands out as […]
