Here is a photo of Alex and Sneakers taken almost nineteen years ago on July 24, 2005.

Yes, Sneakers was a big boy. He was my wife’s son’s cat when we met. I was told he was found behind a bar named “Sneakers.”

Here is a post from early September 2016. Even today, Floki still plays with crumpled up pieces of paper.
Something changed a little over a month ago. Look at the photo below and see if you can tell what’s different?

Did you figure it out? They are all wearing collars now. Specifically, they are wearing Seresto collars.

My wife always pushed to have flea medication put on our cats, but I resisted because I thought putting poison on a cat might not be healthy. I was usually able to extend the treatment to once every two months or so but then one of them would scratch an itch and we would suddenly need to prepare for Armageddon. Finally, someone told my wife about Seresto flea collars, and she was all in. My boss also uses them, and she agreed that they are a great product.
Since our cats never wore collars (except during moves) I wasn’t sure how they would react to them, but they accepted the collars without much complaining. They are not cheap, $81 for two collars, but they last eight months. Our other flea treatment was way more expensive, even when used only every other month.
Does anyone else use Seresto? What do you think about them?
Chris’s new favorite place to hang out is now the favorite place for all our cats to hang out.

Here is a post from August of 2016. I thought I shared this one recently, but it looks like I didn’t. Here it seems that Frankie is a bit more tolerant than Chris when it comes to Floki’s shenanigans.
My latest book, Last Chance, is out today. It is part three of the Last Healer Mysteries series. In this book, Katie and Joe just finish a murder investigation in Milwaukee when they learn someone was murdered at Joe’s resort. They debate whether they should get involved after almost getting killed during their last investigation. Of course, they do or there wouldn’t be a story. You can read more about it on my personal blog here.

I still need reviews for my other books so if you have read one of them, or plan to, please help me by reviewing it. Also, let me know here what you think.
Chris has been spending a lot of time on his cat perch lately. As a result, Floki and Frankie have been hanging out with him.



We wish everyone in America a very happy Independence Day. I have been busy lately, so I am sharing a post I did a couple of years ago.
My wife and I were invited to a cookout at my boss’s house over a month ago. As I was looking through pictures today, I came across one from that day. I meant to post it then but forgot.

My boss has three cats. Bill hangs out on the pool table near where I work. He is very friendly. Sampson will sometimes meet me outside when I get to work and then come in with me. He is also friendly, but I only see him occasionally. Delilah is usually outside in the back yard where I almost never see her. Since we were hanging out in her territory that day, she had no problem coming to me for attention.
Chris has been spending a lot of time on his cat perch. It is good that he is still able to get up there but it is also concerning because I almost never see him holding vigil at his food bowl waiting for someone to put fresh food on top of not-so-fresh-food.

The fact that he is losing his appetite worries me.
