A fine February Caturday

Today has been a fine, lazy Caturday here in Durham. Spring is nudging Winter out of the way, but not without a little push-back. Seems like a good day to post a few pictures of Sam, the ringleader of the former Knox Street gang. Sam is the most cat-like cat out of the crew. He’s […]

Sir Wobbles mugging for the camera

Happy Wednesday. Seems like a good day for some cat pictures. Enjoy! The pressures of incredible cuteness O Hai Big stretch

Lilah, a tuxedo cat, looks curiously at the camera and has her paws tucked neatly to the side.
Friday Fancycat

Today was vet visit day. As is custom, I gave Lilah a few doses of Gabapentin ahead of the vet visit so she’d be manageable and not try to use her chainsaw paws on them. She was feeling very, very chill this morning. No vets were harmed during the exam. We’ll see if I pay […]

Lilah being really patient. It’s been a long day. Here’s my tuxedo cat Lilah being as fancy as a cat can be.

Miss you, Laney

It’s been a year to the day since I said goodbye to one of the best cats that’s ever walked the planet. When I first got Laney, I put her in a separate room (like you’re supposed to) to acclimate to the new surroundings and before introducing her to Lilah. She managed to bust out […]

The many faces of Laney McScratcherson

Laney McScratcherson is a tortoiseshell tabby cat (torbie) that I adopted from Animal House in St. Louis in late 2013. It might be more accurate to say she adopted me, because she made it pretty clear that she had decided I was her person. You don’t argue with a cat when they pick you, you […]
