Thrills and Spills

Okay, now here’s some MAJOR news for you. Drum roll, please.

BANJO CAN FLY!

He turned one month old today, and he celebrated by flying off my finger while I was washing his face after breakfast. I was so surprised. I just assumed Piccolo would fly first, since he’s the oldest. And I thought it was [...]

Lost Cat Blues

I’m having one of those days. It’s 2:00 in the afternoon and I’ve gotten less than nothing done today. I was further ahead at 3:30 this morning than I am now. That’s when the wee birds woke me up for a little meal. I love those baby birds, truly I do, but why do they [...]

Notes from Zoom's Zoo

You know what I’ve noticed? The weeks fly by a lot faster when you’re unemployed than they do when you’re employed. And there still aren’t enough hours in the day to do all the things I want to do. I wish I could live forever.

This week was largely taken up with all the babies [...]

Is it just me, or is it hot in here?

We’re all surviving the heat wave over here, despite the fact that neither house has air conditioning and both houses are crazy hot. On the bright side, I can’t tell anymore when I’m having a hot flash. And at least the car has AC, so when we’re between houses we’re blissful.

CBC Radio was asking [...]

A single point of contention

Duncan and I have only one major point of contention – he wants to go outside, and I won’t let him.

All my other cats were allowed to go outside and live independent cat lives, but Duncan is my prisoner.

When I lived downtown with five cats (Mr. Jones, Catastrophe, Mean Joe, Screamer and Beethoven), [...]

Now a major motion picture

Duncan and the Mouse
Starring Duncan, the Mouse, Zoom and GC.
Special guest appearance by GC’s shoe.

Freedom

We found the mouse yesterday afternoon. He was in the toe of GC’s slipper. He was alive and showed no obvious signs of trauma other than, well, looking traumatized. Poor wee thing.

We put him – slipper and all – out on the front porch. GC said he could keep the slipper since he’s never wearing [...]

Duncan’s a workaholic

All this time I suspected Duncan was a bit lazy, but it turns out he just had nothing to do. That’s why he slept twenty hours a day.

But it turns out he’s actually a workaholic. The last few days he has been working round the clock.

On Sunday he chased a mouse behind a bookcase. [...]

How Duncan spent Mother’s Day

Duncan and I had our first fight yesterday.

I bought five plants for the garden but brought them inside because we were expecting frost last night. Duncan wanted them. I made it abundantly clear that he was to leave them alone. I moved them from the floor to the coffee table when he wouldn’t leave [...]

Duncan and GC had an adventure!
