Mom reads a lot of novels. She says it is to give her ideas about her own writing. I think she just likes to read. She reads 2 – 4 novels each week. She does most of her reading just before she goes to sleep and as part of our afternoon nap time. Some nights she reads until it is entirely too late. She still … Continue reading Part 86 – Calico

One of the reasons my sister (Mom’s description) Sophia and I love to go on our trips, is that we get to play outside when we stop for the night. I like to go out just before dark or just after dawn. Sophia likes to be out anytime. At home, we don’t get to go out as often. Mom says that on some mornings, it … Continue reading Part 85 – Naked

I told you before that Mom has dusted off her camera to get back into taking pictures with this weird photography group she has joined. I thought she was off to a good start when she submitted her picture of me, but then she took a picture of a spider at the swimming pool! Last week she found small tree branches that made a triangle. … Continue reading Part 84 – Ice Cream

Our little hometown has a spectacular fireworks display every year on the Saturday before the 4th. As I understand, they make a real party of it with food trunks and music long before dark. Mom and Dad don’t go over there. Old Fred would get upset from the noise so we just stayed home and watched the display from inside the house. Fred is gone … Continue reading Part 82 – Fireworks

This morning, I sat in front of Mom’s keyboard until she understood we were doing my blog post before she detoured. She seems to think she needs to create the weekly grocery shopping list before she types my blog. I only have one favorite cat food and it comes from Costco, so her list is not that important. I told her we need to get … Continue reading Part 81 – Back on Track

It seems to take Mom forever to get the van unpacked and things put away. Then she focuses on getting the house back in order and cutting the grass. These are all really boring activities. It has been hot so she hasn’t been excited about having us outside exploring on our leads while she does other outside things. Hopefully she will do that today. I … Continue reading Part 80 – Ready to Go Again

We are in Michigan. It has been a good trip. Sophia and I have gotten to explore outside every night before we all tuck into bed. So many different smells. Today, we will see some of Mom’s friends. I know she also plans to walk on the beach. I don’t want to join her in that! Continue reading Part 79 – On The Road

I am a lucky cat. I’ve had two mothers in my life. I know my birth mother loved me, and did the best she could to give me a start in life. My Mom adopted me, and has shown me love and care for the past 10 years. What more could a boy ask? One of her human son’s sent a card, but I can’t … Continue reading Part 78 – Mother’s Day

I want to start this post by stating loud and clear that I have never seen a zebra. I’m not sure I would ever even want to see a zebra. A zebra running free is just plain scary to me. Mom told me that a group of 4 zebras escaped from a trailer in Washington state. Three of them were quickly captured and returned to … Continue reading Post 77 – Zebra

I didn’t post yesterday. This time, it wasn’t because Mom forgot what day it was. This time, it was because she was waiting for a special announcement. She spent a lot of time since Sunday morning working on the finishing touches to her latest cozy mystery. Tuesday and Wednesday, she and her publisher exchanged dozens of emails about the final assembly of the parts. This … Continue reading Part 76 – Waiting
