Happy Caturday! Gracie is now dividing her time between the box and her bed. No, she doesn’t care that it’s full of cat toys. That seems to make it more comfortable. She’s a happy Gracie!

Because the news is atrocious this week. And of course, Princess Gracie, this time in an uncharacteristically goofy pose: There. I can feel my blood pressure going down already.

Another Gracie picture, from her birthday. She had an exhausting day, what with getting skritched whenever she asked, tunafish for breakfast, and Mom paying attention to her all day. All together now: Awwwww.

Today is Gracie’s fifteenth birthday. It is remarkable on several levels. She’s the oldest cat I’ve ever had, beating my first Tigger by a year and a half, now. And, well, I always thought it would be Tigger 2 who … Continue reading →

If that headline is not a contradiction in terms. The news is exceptionally depressing today. Gracie is not.

Well, I’ve done nothing worth writing about today, unless you count getting sucked into season one of Cougar Town, a show which I stopped watching too soon. If I’d stuck with it about two more episodes, I wouldn’t have had … Continue reading →

I got some gorgeous pictures of Tig lately, and wanted to share. This photo captures the color of his eyes better than most. They really are nearly the same shade as his coat. Color-coordinated, that’s my boy.

A rare twofer of Tig bugging the crap out of Gracie. Don’t be swayed by the cute, little-boy look on Tig’s face. He was lying on the other side of the screen pawing at Gracie, trying to make her play. … Continue reading →

It’s a three-day weekend for me. The heck with the news. I caught Gracie looking undignified. She is actually mewing, not yawning. She wanted me to pet her. I wanted her to sit in the sun long enough for me … Continue reading →
