We don’t actually know when Train was born, but we picked her up on 30 September, 2007. That makes today Annual Train Day – the day we celebrate all things Train! From this… To this… To this… (Giving me warning signs about interrupting her morning sun time!) It’s been a busy 2 years. She’s *almost* [...]

Many cat blogs I read mention Vicky Halls as some kind of cat god. When her mailing list had a giveaway for her latest book – The Complete Cat, I decided to enter. Luckily I was one of the first people to reply and the book arrived in the mail this week. While I haven’t [...]

Okay, so they’re going to be a bit bigger than domestic cats, but how cute are these guys? Three two-month-old fishing cats, born 30th June 2009 are now on exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo’s Cat House. These kittens are the first fishing cats born at the Cincinnati Zoo since 1993. A specialist, the fishing cat [...]

Tonight I walked into the second bedroom to feed Train and was greeted with the sight of, well, this: There’s over 60 cans there! I work a little later on Friday nights and as Mr. J gets home before me, he often does the grocery shopping before I get home. It seems that over the [...]

I found these guys through That’s Noice – an Australian based blog full of things considered to be awesome. And I can’t disagree with the awesomeness of these designs. Of course, I’m focusing on the kitty based cards, but head over to the HMC Designs website or etsy shop to see the full range. I [...]

Cara and Jace recently caught a contagious virus associated with Cat Flu so they were staying in a foster home so that the other cats in the Adoption Centre didn’t catch it. They have now recovered well and [...]

Train, who adores her cat grass, has now eaten through both of her plants. Usually we have one plant inside for her to nom on, and the other gets to go outside and recover. Unfortunately this time we left the ‘recovery’ plant out where Train could get it. So now she has no cat grass [...]

Why so quiet?

I’ve been a bit sick of late but still going to work, so have been using my mornings to somewhat ease myself into the whole ‘leaving the house’ thing… and then the nights to sleeeeep! Train has been a good girl and keeping me warm of a night… and not being too demanding in the [...]

Kitty

Lately Mr J and I have been going on walks together with our cameras. Somehow my photos always end up being of the local kitties we come across, so I thought I’d share some of them. The first three kitties kept their distance and watched me from their spots. This next kitty left me so [...]
