News flash from Gradyville: our beloved boy is now off all medications! If we thought Grady was a happy soul before, the tabby love-bug of the lobby has redefined “happy” for us now. The very day that Grady’s hated meds stopped, he was giddier than a 4-year-old at Disney Land.
…Mary has been adopted, after less than 4 months at Tabby’s Place. Now, if ever we thought a cat could be “unadoptable,” Bagheera and his adopter smashed that prejudice last summer. But, by most estimations, wide-eyed Mary came close. Even this sweet pea’s original rescuer predicted, and I quote, “Mary will be a ‘lifer’ at […]
There’s happy news at Tabby’s Place this week: the four sweethearts rescued from the hoarding situation in Chester (the Dessert Kids, Twinkie, Cupcake, Strudel and Trifle) are out of quarantine and in a suite of their own. Now begins the slow, patient work of helping them to learn that humans can love them well, and […]
You have got to watch this video. It is hi-freakin’-larious. Brilliant. Further comments from me would be superfluous, even nugatory.
My posts have been somewhat heavy recently, so I’ll lighten the mood with this post about some nice artsy, cat-related goings on in Catskill, NY. Catskill is hosting an outdoor art dipslay, called “Art Cats on Display.”

Bozzio was charged with 12 counts of animal cruelty after investigators found her house stuffed with neglected cats. Bozzio went to trial in April and was found guilty (though not of all charges) and […]
As John said so well in his special post from London, all of you who care about the Tabby’s Place cats are truly family to us. But, our family is scattered across the miles and oceans, so we like to give you as much of an experience of the feline community here in the non-metropolis […]
Singing the songs of kitty glee? It is the music of the kitties who, today, are Brandy-free. With apologies to Les Miserables for that musical interlude, it’s easy to imagine that you can hear the happy songs of the Suite B cats from oceans away today. It’s all thanks to one elegant tabby, or, rather, […]
I am fascinated by evolution and the way various life forms are categorized and compared. I have spent countless hours at home leafing through my copy of The Tree of Life (a Phylogenetic Classification) studying the branches in the tree and looking for interesting patterns (“Where did the four-chambered heart appear?”) You won’t be surprised […]
Blacks cats have the terrible misfortune of being over looked for adoption all too often. Sometimes these black beauties just blend into the crowd. Some feel they’re not unique enough. And, some are, believe it or not, superstitious about owning a black cat. But, not this week!
