I didn't have many new photos this week so I thought I would find an old one (or three) taken on this day. I found a folder from April 26, 2011. It was labeled "Camera Test." I don't know what camera I was testing but I think it was a film camera. It looks like…
A couple of people said happy birthday to Floki the other day even though I didn't post about it. It reminded me his birthday was coming up and I made a note to look it up when I got home, which I forgot to do until this morning. Floki was born on or around the…
Some days our house seems like a satellite office of the post office. I won't mention any names but someone I'm married to likes to shop online. After I took Frankie for a walk yesterday, Chris wanted to go outside, so I sat on the front step and watched him while he lay in the…
My wife runs several apartment communities. During covid, they started unlocking available units so people could look at them without the staff present. The called them "self-tours" and they still sometimes do that on the weekends when the office is closed. Now, whenever Frankie escapes, we say he is on a self-tour of the neighborhood.…
My newest book is now available. It is called Last Rites and is a sequel to The Last Healer. I didn't plan on writing a second book but several people said they wanted to read more about Katie and Joe, so I thought a sequel was in order. I know see potential for a series.…
Here is a post from July of 2016. I still make the same homemade food but only give it to them for breakfast. I give them canned food for lunch and dinner. I learned that too much of the same thing means they won't eat it. I also learned that they won't eat anything but…
I now work for an aquarium maintenance service. The business is run out of my boss's home. I show up there at 6:15 in the morning four days a week. Earlier I introduced you to Bill, who is almost always on the pool table ready to greet me. There are also two other cats there,…
Good morning, everyone. I hope your day is going as good as Frankie's. He started out this morning rolling around on the dining room table. Actually, he started by knocking my coffee off the table, but the point is, he was a happy kitty. That was followed by a nice walk where he got to…
While on a walk with Frankie this morning we encountered a group of Peacocks. I looked up the name for a group of Peacocks and were presented with multiple choices. My favorite was a ostentation, but they can also be called a pride, muster, or party. I also learned that a group of female peacocks,…
I've had a few regrets in my life but only one egret. This one hung around our house for a couple of years. I think the people that lived there before us might have fed him. We rarely gave him anything but he, or she, kept coming around. The above photo was taken nine years…
Considering that all of or cats, especially Chris, like to get under the covers on our bed, I thought they would like their own bed with a cover on it so I picked one up about a week ago. Floki took to it right away. Surprisingly, Chris waited his turn like a gentlecat. I've seen…
I feel bad for Chris sometimes when I watch him get down from a height that wouldn't normally be a problem for a cat. His excess weight and arthritis means when he jumps down from the sofa or something at a similar height, he tends to stumble after hitting the ground. A little while ago…
We got our Art of Paws Heated Pet Mat six years ago. Since then, we have been using it without the heating element most of the time. I put the heating element back in when it gets cold, which isn't very often in Florida but it did come in handy when we were in West…
I took Floki to the vet on Friday to get his nails trimmed because he absolutely will not let us cut them but he is a good boy at the vet. While in the waiting room, Freddy, the resident cat, came out to say hello. It was a very civil meeting. Nobody growled or hissed.…
Every time we walk past our community office, Frankie seems interested in going inside for some reason. The last time we were there, he was up on his hind legs scratching at the door. I didn't get a picture of that but here he is thirty seconds later. I have no idea what is in…
The other day we Frankie and I came across a mother cat and her two kittens. All three cats were nervous and retreated when Frankie came near. More likely it was me they were afraid of. I see that a lot in cats that we come across. Yesterday was different. Yesterday we met a domesticated…
I am three days late with this post. We actually adopted Frankie on February 9, 2014. He did not have a name at the time, only a number. Frankie - February 9, 2014 He was a perfect fit for our house because we were already used to dealing with a bad cat. Frankie gave us…
This photo was taken fourteen years ago on this day in 2010. It's Chris hanging out with his good buddy Tigger. This was taken using film. Remember that? I bought a film camera from my coworker and shot a roll to test it. I then sold the camera on Ebay but got some good photos…
I did it again. I finished a book. It took over twenty-five years to write my first novel and now, six months later, I have two more books under my belt. This one, Falling Star, is shorter than the last two at 36,000 words but it is also priced less. Today and Tomorrow only you…
On our walk Monday afternoon, we encountered a woman walking her little Yorkie. That dog was very interested in getting close to Frankie, but the woman held him back. She told me he had lived with cats and really liked them but was not a fan of other dogs. I wish I had thought to…
These are the days of our cats. Chris has taken to lying down at the water bowl to drink. For some reason, while he drinks, he also turns the mat that the bowl is on counterclockwise. It starts out looking like this. The photo above was taken at 12:04 p.m. on January 7. The one…
I took Frankie for a walk yesterday. We only occasionally go to the street behind us but when we do, I often see a ginger cat outside one particular house. I don't remember Frankie ever seeing that cat, but that cat has seen Frankie and is very quiet when he does. I have mentioned before…
I saw something I don't see too often the other night. Frankie was washing Chris. The photo below was taken at 9:19:20 Four seconds later, I snapped this photo at 9:19:24. Between the two photos Frankie whacked Chris three or four times on the head. Why this happens, I will never understand. On another note,…
