- Happy 1st Birthday Jimmy!!!
It is Jimmy’s first birthday today (or as near as I can figure after consulting with Chrystal), he is a mancat now and I wanted to share a little with all of you about just what a fantastic cat he is! As most of you know, Robert and I adopted...

The terrific TK and Squashies from TK-Furrever Home AND marvelous Meowmeowmans from Animal Shelter Volunteer Life passed the Versatile Blogger Award this way and we thank them both very much for thinking of us. As I did it earlier this month, the cats...
- The Name Game
Last week I saw a really neat post on House of Cats called The Name Game and I thought I would play too. So, here are the explanations of how my babies got their names: Molly – I always just loved this name. I had an Aunt Molly who was very close to...
- Molly In The Bedroom
I’m fairly certain that Molly would have preferred to live out her twilight years in tranquil solitude. She has not forgiven me for bringing Casper into the house, and reminds me of this every time she sees him. She is just too old to accept anyone...
- The Introductions
Hello folks (if anyone is reading this) and welcome to my blog. I’m very new to the medium; in fact this is my inaugural posting. I have four cats and that is the reason I have started this little project. They are the joy of my heart and the children...

Casper's Birthday
There is a song by the Talking Heads written in 1980 called Once in a Lifetime. I love this song, not only because it harkens to the nostalgia of my youth but because it has both odd and poignant lyrics. One line goes “you may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?”
I sometimes ask myself this same question within the context of having so many cats. Seems for a long, long time (fifteen years) I had only one cat, Molly, then somehow in the blink of an eye I became a crazy cat lady with FIVE cats! I like to make sure people know I have a dog also, as if this is some kind of normalizing factor and doesn’t just make me look even more of a nutter because it brings the count of animals in my household to six – LOL!!
Anyway you may ask yourself “where is this post going?” I’ll tell you…it is Casper’s birthday today and he is the kitty who started it all. I adopted Casper (much to Molly’s chagrin) from my friend Pauline who was caring for him after he had been abandoned by his owners and needed a forever home. After Casper it was just a hop, skip and a jump to five cats. Of course I wouldn’t have it any other way, all my “kids” are wonderful and bring more joy to my life more than I could possibly say.
So please join me in wishing Casper a very happy 5thbirthday. He is a trailblazer, goodwill ambassador, alpha mancat, gentle giant and cuddle bunny all rolled into one fantastic feline!!!
