Feline Friday: An Encore!

We are in Auckland, New Zealand, until the middle of next week, which explains the absence of current cat photos for the week.

But not wanting to leave you without the regular Friday cat fix, I decided to go back 20 years to July 2005.

Introducing, in order of appearance.

Harriet, also known as Ms. Harry, the black and white. We rescued Harry and her sister, Lizzie, as kittens about five years earlier. Lizzie wandered, and one day didn’t return. That was hard. But Harry was with us a long time.

Kili, the gold/brown and gray tiger. In her prime, she ruled the house. Rescued from Kahekili Highway after being dumped from a moving car in 1998, if I recall correctly. She became the huntress who gifted us with her prey.

Leo, the gray tiger with white feet. Also found one morning on our walk, clinging to a branch and crying loudly. He like to gnaw fingers and knock things off the table to get attention. He was a talker.

Ms. Annie, dark gray with a white front end. Another morning walk rescue, this time from the beach in Kaaawa.

Silverman and Romeo, nose to nose. Romeo took refuge under our house on New Year?s Eve 2004, and stayed. During his prime, Romeo weighed in at about 19 pounds. Silverman was invited in through the cat door while we were on a trip to Chicago in 1999, and surprised us when we got home.

I should probably return to this and add links to the various stories.

For now, I’ll just let you enjoy this cohort of Lind cats.

Feline Friday: July 2005

Here come the cats (oh, and the plover!)

That’s right. This is the time of year that the kolea (Pacific Golden Plover) begin arriving back in Hawaii after the long flight from the breeding grounds in Alaska and thereabouts.

We haven’t seen any yet on our early morning walks, but they usually start appearing right about now, and continue flying in through at least the first half of August.

So keep an eye out for them. After all, they?ve traveled a long way to get here.

And they known for returning to familiar locations, so if you think that bird looks familiar, it probably is!

And the cats? Well, they’re also ready to make their weekly appearance. Luckily, you don’t have to search for then. Just click below to see the week?s worth of photos.

Feline Friday: July 25, 2025

Feline Friday is on a 7-11 roll!

I was a few photos short of a full album yesterday afternoon, so ended up stalking cats several times to fill in the blanks. It worked, more or less! But each new photo required me to reevaluate the earlier ones, so it took more time and mental energy than I expected.

But that was fine. I had the remains of a Costco chicken simmering into stock for soup that we?ll probably have for dinner tomorrow, so there was plenty of time to fiddle with the fotos.

I hope you enjoy the results.

Feline Friday: 7-11

The cats are here to start your holiday weekend!

If there are many fireworks later today, several of our cats will likely get a little nervous and take refuge under furniture or in other “safe” places. Luckily, the 4th isn?t a big fireworks day in our neighborhood, so there?s little chance that any of them will really be scared. It was different when we lived in Kaaawa, which sounded like a war zone anytime there was the slightest excuse for setting off things that go BANG. Or BOOOM! The relative quiet here is welcome relief for those who live with pets.

On the other hand, national and world events are making us more than a little nervous, but that has nothing to do with fireworks, so I won?t bring up politics in this kickoff of Feline Friday.

And here come the cats.
