We were at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., in time to watch the sunrise yesterday morning. And we were at home in Kaaawa in time to pour a glass of wine and watch the reflections of the sunset from over the mountains. That’s a pretty amazing day.

Our neighbor, David, who does double duty as our favorite cat sitter, sent these two short video clips this week to assure us that the cats have been fine while we’ve been out of town.

Romeo welcomes you to another Feline Friday! He was on the prowl this morning. I think he was irritated that we didn’t release him from the nightly lockdown until after we were back from our morning walk. So he did his rounds of the yard, poached from Harriet’s dish, and backed poor Toby into a [...]

Mr. Romeo welcomes you to another Feline Friday. After several weeks of being out and about, and then coming home with assorted scratches, Romeo was good this week. He spent time outside, but he didn’t seem to get into any more tussles with unknown cats, believed to be from the new neighbors next door. I [...]

April 5th, 2013 · No Comments · Cats, Photographs

That’s Mr. Romeo coming up the stairs to welcome you to another Feline Friday, the first one in April. I’m spending a lot of time cat herding this week because Meda is in New York at a conference. I’m feeling like the world is full of cat dishes that need to be washed and then [...]
