Photo Friday: Spot Stealer


The other day, Chris was on my lap when he decided to jump off and onto the nearby shelf. That shelf has been exclusively Floki’s domain . . . until now.

It wasn’t long before he was napping there.

I don’t know if Floki came around later and found Chris in his spot. If he did, I am probably lucky I missed it.

Tigger’s Near-Fatal Binge Eating


Here is a story for Throwback Thursday about our cat Tigger and a very expensive bag of cat food.

Tigger is no longer with us but his memory will always be here. I was thinking about Tigger today and how we almost lost him due to a new food that was so good but so bad. Let us get into the way-back machine and travel back to Thursday, March 22, 2007. Wait…No! Let’s go back about a week or so before that.

I am also offering Bad Cat Chris for free today which you can get here. That is good for people who want to know Chris’s origin story. My latest book is also available in paperback and hardcover, but because of the cost of printing, I can’t offer those for free.

Cats, like humans, follow a routine. Our cats are no different. Our catio has awnings that block the sun most of the day but there is a great chance to catch some rays after the sun comes up and all our cats usually take advantage of that. In fact, as I write this, Chris and Puck are lying in the sunbeam. I don’t know where Frankie is off to now but he is usually here to enjoy the sun.
