Yees, but Storm is determined to roam for about 5 hours after nightfall. No doubt she'd be sneaking into other cats' territories. So far, she's gotten away with this, then sleeps outside before maybe coming inside and of course she brings it on herself to get all upset by cats who roam during...

Indeed Missy has paws crossed. Storm slept outside last night under the carport roof in the cold, and before I left at 7am to get my medical scan she's all upset, but I'd left a door open overnight and some food, but I think she had fight with another roaming cat and was quite unapproachable and...

Well what more could I desire than to have cattesque vibrations and miscellaneous prayers to various Gods, etc, all aimed in my direction I thought that when I came to this site there would be some of The Most Genteel Good People, and it seems to be true. I can only hope that Nature is kind to...

Us humans are all animals, and mammals, and IMHO, the evolution model of life over millions of years seems like maybe the best way to have all things evolve as they are, with a daunting level of mainly incomprehensible complexity. If you just think about a cat, then its hard to imagine any God...

Suru suggested "Did you try putting catnip in places you want her to be?" I think she's found where she wants to be at her own pace. The one thing I have always tried to do in my life is to ensure all females around me had the freedom they wanted. I found that if I wanted a cat or a lady to be...

I'll try to get around to rigging up my old Cannon with USB for card to the lap top for a picture. But really, she's a plain grey cat with a sight dash of white under her chin. She has now officially moved in, preferring to sleep inside rather than outside under the carport roof. Not so unhappy...

Yes, probably, but then that's OK. Queen Storm is a benign ruler, and cannot fully hide her displeasure with the winter weather. She's discovered the old couch in a north facing room that gets the morning sun. Liked one type of fish based cat food but not another. The pet food industry grinds up...

Not all of us can have an older time to live gracefully into very old. Many perish due to ailments but I find wonderments as I fade down from what I was. Ashley Barty, an Australian, might win the French One tonight, WOW, what a gal!!!!!!!!!!! Meanwhile Storm is telling me just what food she...

And if I could teach Storm to speak, even better. But most things she does now are kind of catsense, like a human who has common sense, while considering the situation holistically, of if you like holisticatly. Try to have a nice day, always somewhat more difficult as we get older..... Patrick...

Well Storm has known me a few years, because she would include my yards as her territory, so we met often in my drive way and said helo, and in summer I put a nice bowl of clean water for her to drink, which she preferred to the swimming pool water that has chemicals and bad taste. It was...

Yes, its all slowly happening. Last night, to escape the -4C she hopped into my car because I left a window down. I went to lunch without noticing her, and I stopped at end of driveway, and there's a "MEOWWWW" = "where the hell are you taking me?" I stopped, carried her inside, and sure, she...

I don't have a mobile phone so its more difficult to photograph anything here. I like the internet, but I learnt that having a smart phone, hanging out at FarceBook or Twatter was never going to make my social life any better because ppl fear one to one conversations. I have never had any reason...

Name is Storm. She's a plain grey cat with short hair, probably thickening up for the winter. I hope for the best for Storm and I for my last few years. I have other interests to occupy my mind but a cat can be part of that. I could not have a dog unless I spent a lot more of fencing, and...

The nights have been bitterly cold here. But this morning this cat wanted to come inside and spend some time in the sun coming through the windows on sunny side of house. And she wasn't hissing and growling. So I think because I kept being gentle and feeding her regularly, she's realizing that...

This cat was a kitten given to one of the 2 girls in this family next door when they were all younger and lived together. But the girl with cat grew up, and was determined to leave home as girls do, to pursue the usual freedoms of having no mum or dad around, and being able to socialise with...
