Since we’re off in cloudy Vancouver, BC, I can’t provide the latest updates on our cats. They’re all safely at home with an experienced cat sitter tending them and the house. I do check in on my cat cams every once in a while, but that’s pretty hit or miss depending on time of day, the state of the sun, etc., etc.

So I decided to take you back to February 2016. It was a different group of elderly cats that shared our house and our lives at that time. Can I name them all? Kili, the matriarch, rescued as a kitten in 1998 (I think I’ve got the right year) after she and her sister had been dropped into the middle of Kahekili Highway from a moving car; Annie, the “youngster” at about 14; Duke, the big tabby Siamese, offspring of a pregnant cat we rescued in 2002; Toby, the ginger cat rescued later that same year as a kitten that had to be bottle fed; and Romeo, who showed up and pushed his way into our house and lives on New Years Day, January 1, 2005.

What fun to go back and visit them! I hope you agree.
