Cat Diaries

GIZMO.... one day at the store where i was working, a customer brought in a box of kittens!! Of course, I picked up an adorable tiger kitten who immediately put his paws around my neck with a big hug, the rest is history!! It wasn't time to go home from work yet so he stayed with me until closing time..The deli usually gives me leftover chicken wings at the end of the day in a box to take home..brought a box home as usual so my husband thought I had "CHICKEN"... wrong!! to his surprise, there was a kitten inside!! They have been buddies ever since!!

POUNCER

Pouncer is a black and white stray cat found by my grandchidren while at their dad's construction site..Their dad is not known to love cats, but the kids spent the day playing with this kitten who was all dirty and pitiful looking..At days end they pleaded with dad and she ended up going home with them...She has turned out to be the calmest , most well adjusted cat I have ever known...She gets along great with everyone including their Shitzu "Amber".(photo below)..

Rules for Cats to Live By

For Book Readers, get in close under chin, between eyes and book, unless you can lie across the book itself. For Paperwork, lie on the paper in the most appropriate manner so as to obscure as much of the work as possible, or pretend to doze but occasionally reach out and slap the pencil or pen. Bathrooms: Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not necessary to do anything, just sit and stare.

"A Prayer in Spring"

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day; And give us not to think so far away... As the uncertain harvest; keep us here... all simply in the springing year.....Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white... Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night... And make us happy in the happy bees... The swarm dilating round the perfect trees....Robert Frost (1915)

Cat Poem

I'm Only a Cat, and I stay in my place... Up there on your chair, on your bed or your face! I'm Only a Cat, and I don't finick much... I'm happy with cream and anchovies and such! I'm Only a Cat, and we'll get along fine... As long as you know I'm not yours... You're all mine!

"Wilburs" Photos

Posing

WILBUR

WILBUR..was living under the Antique Center where I help out. It was a cold January day, so brought him inside..We took him to the Vet to have him checked and he was in good shape...We also asked neighbors but no one claimed him, so of course, he has been a part of the Center ever since....again he is the sweetest cat and poses for me for photos...He greets all the customers and gets lots of attention....It turns out I have cats at home and at work,... as Martha Stewart says: "It's A Good Thing"....

More of Wilbur

Unfortunately, the Antique Center is for sale and Wilbur has moved to a new home but is adjusting well, owners are glad to have such a wonderful cat.
