Catnip time for all

This video was made before Torti had the surgery that resulted in her wearing her elizabethan collar. The black cat, named Basement Cat, is generally pretty shy, but she is a mean drunk. She was rescued at about 10 months of age. At the time she was living on the tarp across the street. She moved into a cooler on my porch for the days when the weather was bad.

She had a stressful trip back from the vet's, and now tends to run the other way when I approach.

Back to posting some cat photos

It's not me and Micki and Maude anymore. A few months ago I rescued a couple of starving kitties, Torti and Basement Cat. Poor Torti is suffering right now. She pulled open her spay incision and has to wear an elizabethan collar for a while and take pills. She is just totally depressed. The only thing I can do is give her drugs, eh?

Click the link for a larger photo of Torti and Micki drowning their sorrows.

When Maude Attacks

A CAT was in the yard

Oh, my goodness, the girls were so entertained! They sat and watched that cat on the picnic table in the backyard, then moved from window to window as it finally got up to poke around and leave. I guess they're probably getting cabin fever. Micki never goes out, but sometimes I take Maude out for a walk riding on my shoulder. I wonder if Micki can be leash-trained...

Meet Micki

Micki decided to pose for her photo shoot on Maude's new ironing board cover that Maude got for Christmas after shredding the old ironing board cover. It's an old-fashioned ironing board that's built into a cabinet in the wall, but the kittehs think it's a cat climbing tree.

As you can see, Micki is a blindingly white cat. As you can't see from these pictures, she's plump and muscular. She outweighs Maude, probably by a factor of two.

While Maude often has a facial expression that might be described as "thoughtful", Micki appears alert and on-duty at most times. When she is in the "huntress" mode, she will go hunting. Since there are no other animals in the house to hunt down, the prey that she hunts down is Maude.

Meet Maude

I've had Micki and Maude for a couple of months now. They're a lot of fun. But I think the best way to get to know them is through photos and videos.

Maude is my little sweetheart. She's got the most agreeable personality of any cat I've ever met. "Ear drops? Sure, Mom. Why not?" is what I can imagine her thinking.

She really loves her bag, too.







Here she is hiding in plain sight.
