Our felines make their final appearance of 2011

December 30th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Cats, Photographs, video

Yes, it’s the final set of Friday Felines for the year. Scrounging around for pictures from the week, I just came up with a few. Two show the diabetic boys, Siverman and Duke, hanging out together. In the top photo, they’re asleep on a corner of our bed. Then they’re on the kitchen counter, where [...]

A walk on the beach, and greeting the dogs

December 24th, 2011 · 4 Comments · Cats, Dogs, Photographs

I’m betting that most of you aren’t interested in the blood pressure boost delivered by political commentary on the day before Christmas, so I’m not even going to consider going there today. Instead, here are a few goodies. First, a few pictures from our walk at dawn here in Kaaawa. Just click on the photo [...]

Feline Friday, Version 2: No more rodents

December 23rd, 2011 · No Comments · Cats, Photographs

Here’s today’s Feline Friday #2. No rats in this batch of pictures. That’s Mr. Silverman leading the way while snoozing on Meda’s suitcase. Do you suppose he’s dreaming of travel? Maybe he’s recalling when he disappeared for several weeks. That was a number of years ago. We eventually found that he was living just a [...]

Feline Friday: Only the brave

I hope to return a little later this morning with a “G” rated Feline Friday gallery, but first…. Please do not click on this photo unless you have read the short explanation that follows and know what you are getting into. Remember the photo from last week’s Feline Friday? It shows Meda sitting at our [...]

Feline Friday: An after-dinner surprise

December 16th, 2011 · 11 Comments · Cats, Photographs

We had just finished dinner. Cheese and spinach-stuffed ravioli (Costco, not homemade), a nice tossed salad with avocado and anchovies, a couple of glasses of red wine. I took my empty plate over to the sink, rinsed, put it in the dishwasher. As I did, Ms. Annie wandered into the kitchen. She’d been outside for [...]

Mr. Toby says it’s Feline Friday

December 9th, 2011 · 5 Comments · Cats, Photographs

Mr. Toby welcomes you to another Feline Friday! Just a hint–he isn’t always this innocent. For example…we’re back from our early walk along the beach to the other end of Kaaawa. I’ve got a cup of coffee, some grapes, cottage cheese container on the table. Toby’s been hanging out, looking for attention and, I’m sure, [...]

Mr. Romeo welcomes you to another Feline Friday

December 2nd, 2011 · 1 Comment · Cats, Photographs

Friday, and time for another look at our Kaaawa felines. This week, Silverman somehow stayed out of the camera’s view. So there are only seven of the eight represented. I was having trouble getting any of the cats wake up and pose. That’s when I retrieved the feather toy. It’s a colorful feather on a [...]

Cat people: Young cat needs new home

November 30th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Cats

I just got a call from a friend in Kaaawa. She has a neighbor with a male tiger cat, just growing out of kittenhood (maybe five months old?), who has started spraying. They don’t have money to get him fixed, which very likely would cure the problem, and say he has to go. Now. She [...]
