OK, OK, so Grady isn’t literally singing (but I promise I’d get video for you if he was). Still, Gene Autry’s hopeful tune is apt for our Grady today, as long as by “saddle” we mean “lobby.” Yep: Grady’s back home in the heart of Tabby’s Place!
I have always felt that cats were quite well armed as they come from the factory: hyper-sensitive hearing, built-in night vision, razor-sharp claws loaded with deadly bacteria, bionic sense of smell. The Department of Defense labs still can’t match this kind of armanent. But, apparently that’s not enough for some hawkish cats.
I stole the title. But it fits. Oliver Hereford once described a cat as a pygmy lion who loves mice, hates dogs, and patronizes human beings. How true. The title and the description reminded me of Ringo, and no matter how I tried to blog about something else, the passing of Ringo hit me so hard […]

One of my favorite things about Tabby’s Place is the way the cats bring a parade of amazing folks through our lives. It’s ever apparent to me that our volunteers, adopters, visitors and assorted friends, buddies and pals are some of the most generous, compassionate, loving and deep-down-good people on the planet. With the recent adoption of […]
Marshmallow was a no-brainer. Wendy and the babies will surely get scooped up quickly. And even timid Rumor‘s adoption wasn’t too much of a surprise. But what about the “unhuggables” – the cats who are so angry, petrified or just plain kooky that potential adopters can’t even touch them? As you might expect, we have […]
