(My blog posts for the next couple weeks are going to revolve around two things: my trip to the Bay Area, and my attempts to work my already hectic school schedule around the vacation.) Today I found myself trapped in bed until nearly 10:30 am by our indoor/outdoor boy cat. He’s usually not keen on… Read More Second Stage Complete
I spent the morning with my nose buried in my biology lectures, trying to pull more thorough notes out of my recordings, and working on my next homework assignment. The afternoon was spent alternately doing housework and lying down to give our boy cat cuddles. If he gets cuddles when he comes in, he’ll stay… Read More In The Books
Earlier tonight, we experienced a sudden squall. After threatening to rain for some time, it finally started, and within seconds, it was raining and hailing so hard I couldn’t see the tree across the parking lot from the apartment. It was an absolutely devastating storm that only lasted maybe five minutes before dissipating, but it… Read More Whiteout
The newest addition to our home is Stormy Cat, a former semi-feral stray that we befriended over a period of a couple of years. He’s gone from running away from us on sight to meowing in order to be let inside. He still spends most of his day outside and away from the apartment, but… Read More An Indoors Kind of Day
When we first moved into our apartment complex three years ago there was a neighborhood stray cat that would make a beeline for the storm drain any time he saw us. When we adopted Two Socks, our little tuxedo girl kitty, and had a need for cat food in the house, we started leaving bowls… Read More Feeling Very Lucky
Last night we had a pretty bad storm come through. It woke me up at least once that I can recall, and it drenched half of the balcony, the half that the chairs and Stormy’s box are on. Fortunately, we were able to bring him inside last night, so he was safe through the worst… Read More Storms and Stormy
For the past few days (here, here, and here) I’ve been telling the story of our neighborhood stray Stormy Cat, and how an injury has led us to officially make him part of the family. Today I’m kind of feeling lazy, so I’m going to do a short blog post basically updating you on Stormy’s… Read More Stormy’s Progress Report
The deed is done. We have a new cat. Thanks to the extremely generous contributions that our friends have so graciously provided to us, we were able to get Stormy Cat to the vet and get his leg looked at. The most challenging part of getting him in the carrier was getting the thing to… Read More And Then There Were Two
I wrote a couple days ago about the stray that we’ve befriended needing to go to the vet. We’ve finally gotten a good look at his leg and it appears to have a slight dent in it where there shouldn’t be a joint, so we’re leaning much more strongly to it being broken, which means… Read More We Need Your Help
