Today my littlest baby kitty turns one year old. It would be difficult to believe if she didn’t look like such a full grown cat. When we first found her on the side of the road in Elizabethtown, Illinois, she weighed only three pounds and was afflicted with fleas, ear mites, and roundworm. [...]

Today marks the end of my iPhone 365 project–a challenge to take a photo everyday using my iPhone and post it to this Flickr group. Given that so many of my photos throughout the past year were of the cats, it is only fitting that my 365th photo was this shot of all four [...]

Today is Simba Kitty’s 12th birthday. So far today he has meowed at 5am, meowed for food, meowed because he was bored, and taken a long nap. Typical day for him, really. As a special treat, I danced with him and sang him a birthday song. He doesn’t really care for [...]

I had the worst dream last night. Normally I love dreaming because, if you have been around here long enough, you know they are weird and fun. Last night’s dream was awful. The worst part about it was that it seemed real. Looking back on it now, there were signs that [...]

It can be pretty tricky to tell Eggy and Paducah apart, can’t it? Here are the answers:

One of the fun things I like to do these days is send Prince E a text message with a photo of one of our two white cats. He then has to guess whether it is Paducah or Eggy.
Since I am getting near the end of my month of blogging and running [...]

* I went back to the office today and am quite tired as a result. Although technically yesterday was a day off, it was a travel day and not very relaxing. I could use a proper day off.
* Paducah got her stitches out today.
* I am uploading my New Orleans photos. [...]

I miss working from home. I like being able to wear pajamas. I like the quiet. But, most of all, I have best assistants ever at home. Ready to sit on my papers, walk on my keyboard, and cuddle up to keep me warm. Today is a rare work-at-home day [...]

I read over on Dawnie’s site that today is Delurking Day, the day that encourages people to come out of the feed readers, stop being shy, and comment on the blogs they read. I, for one, am a big-time lurker. I am not sure what it is, but I rarely comment on people’s [...]

I really don’t complain about the cold too much. I loathe the summer heat far more and think it’s only fair to bitch about cold or heat, but not both.
This is my tenth Chicago winter (can you believe that?!) and I have adapted pretty well. I wear my sleeping bag coat and fuzzy [...]
