I would like to share my titer test experience and results I had done for Ziva recently. I got Ziva from a shelter near the end of August 2017. She was approximately 3 years old. I know almost nothing of her past. I do know she got her vaccines at the shelter. We visited our vet shortly after...

been having fun with a trail camera this year. Excited and surprised to have captured these shots in my backyard.

I have a little story for you. Ziva really did not adjust to her Kitty Holster, so we went back to the Come With Me Kitty Harness. We have progressed to supervised no harness outdoor outings here at home. We were out in early June exploring. Ziva likes to walk on deadfalls at the woods edge. She...

I don't know if this year went fast or slow. I do know I miss Xena and think of her daily. I do know I was so very fortunate to have shared some time with her. I am thankful for how she took care of me when I was supposed to take care of her. I know she is in a perfect condition in a perfect...

We brought Ziva home from a shelter at the end of July. It didn't take long to notice that she has little if any, outside experience. I decided to try and harness train her. I really did not expect success as she is 3+ years old and a Tortie. She has surprised me. She does not exhibit tortitude...

I adopted a cat from a shelter last week. (I have introduced her over on New Cats on the Block) Her third day home she became very congested---dry with a whistling sneeze. She hid a lot for 2 days before resuming normal activity. Still sneezing---wet and less congested. Took her to the vet...

The internal happiness that left me with the passing of Boney Girl and Xena has been mostly restored. After nearly 9 catless months, we got a refill. A local shelter was offering $10 adoptions. I have never taken a shelter cat before. I would be happy with any of them, but could not myself...

I had no way to know that just 9 days after getting my Boney Girl cattoo that I would bury my Xena. As a daddy to two cats, it is my responsibility to show equal love for my girls. I do so even after they have gone to heaven. JC absolutely rocked my ink. I'm expecting Xena to hiss at Boney...

Here is a video of Xena I made some years ago.

The second anniversary of the passing of my Boney Girl is just a month away. I wanted to do something a little special in her memory. I gotta tell you, I feel pretty good about this. The green background shading represents the color of her collar and favorite fleece blanket. Around my neck is...

Heaven became a better place today. I have not the words to describe the joy, love, companionship and comfort she brought into my life. I feel some relief knowing that my Boney Girl was first to greet her. My house is empty, but my heart is full, broken but full. God took her gently and I am...

Please pray for Xena.

My sister in law recently moved from the city into the country. She was able to capture and take with her an outdoor kitty that she has fed  for past 3 years. Her name is Y2 (why two). Stands for Yoda the second. I have been visiting my sis in law regularly last few weeks due to a series of sad...

I have been harvesting some catnip. Xena prefers the flowertops.

Caught a cute 4 frame sequence the other day of my near 2 year old niece approaching my dad's cat Chester, and Chester escaping. Sure would like to see similar pictures if anybody has them.

It has been 15 months and one week today. My Boney Girl's passing caused me to find this site. I have been here a couple months now and have not  posted anything in Crossing the Bridge about her. She is still heavy on my mind, but I am back to my old self. I feel for everyone who adds content...

Maybe this has been covered here before, if so could someone give a link? Xena loves to be brushed. She demands it right after breakfast and at least two more times during the day/evening. Her old brush has about had it, It is round with flexible plastic bristles that retract for easy hair...

Hi, my name is Jim. I have loved cats since I was a kid. The best cats in my life have been strays. My first cat was a stray as are the last two. Living with me is a calico named Xena. She is coming up on 14 years old, and I hope she will be my first cat to reach old age. Xena is a great...
