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.

But we know it’s just that mellow goofball of the Community Room, Mr. Grey, having a bit of fun with his […]
Leader of the band
It can be a lot of pressure having a band named after you. If anything were to happen to Bruce Springsteen, for instance, his crew would become simply “and the E Street Band.” Bob Marley’s passing left his band as simply “and the Wailers.” And if anything should happen to Dave Matthews, his band would […]
Sibling revelry
When you’re a teenage guy, it doesn’t exactly raise your “cool factor” to call your sister your BFF. But that doesn’t stop Chandler. On the other hand, Monica is a bit more embarrassed about letting the world know how much she digs her twin bro.
Under the couch and dreaming
We presently have a litter of kittens named after members of the Dave Matthews Band, who would surely appreciate this post’s title – but it isn’t about them. No, it’s about the way a terrified cat’s under-the-couch-time can be time well spent.
Puzzle completed
I’m afraid I spoke too soon when I said that Puzzle‘s picture was completed last month. There was, in fact, one last piece – a bright-eyed, silky-sable, sweet as syrup piece named Tori.
