Cat Tales
The main statement of this post will be difficult to accept. You won’t want to believe it. I tried to debunk it. But it’s true: our cat does not drink water. …

Throwback Thursday – Caturdays
It’s risky. A woman of a certain age writing about her cats. Readers might throw around phrases like “cat lady” and “crazy cat lady”. But it’s a chance I’m prepared to take. …
Happy Birthday Wee Gal
Today is Miss Sugar’s 11th birthday. She is the junior-senior of our senior cat duo, adopted from the London Humane Society when she was nine. The first thing we did was change her name from Kitty. Talk about unimaginative! …
Spice’s Sweet Sixteen
Our number one cat, our senior feline, the Head of Security for our household and top mouser Spice turns 16 today. …
In the Luuup
Cats can be kind of disgusting. They’re more-or-less clean and rather obsessed with self-grooming but…well…if you’ve ever had a cat, you know. So when I heard about Luuup, the self-described Best Litter Box Ever Made, I had to investigate. This reads a bit like an infomercial, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not because my beta phase with this product has only just begun AND I paid full price for two of them, delivered. …
Kitty the kitty
Spice, the 14-year-old wondercat, has been restless. When he was surrendered for adoption, he was part of a pair. Animal Aide in St. Thomas apparently tried to adopt them together but no one wanted two senior cats. They were both 11 at the time. So Chloe was adopted separately and we came to learn about Spice once he became a solo act. …
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Harness
Spice the wonder-cat, the head of security, the lead tiger of the house, is an indoor cat. He has no front claws, very few teeth, and when we adopted him at age 11 I signed a declaration promising to keep him inside. It’s for his own safety. I’m not a fan of roaming felines anyway, so it was a no-brainer. …
Why Cats Rule
I’ve always thought of myself as a dog person but I have loved a couple of cats. My current kitty Spice is the feline to beat all. But I’ve also always believed that cats belong indoors. There are too many predators and they cause too much destruction and, frankly, poop, always on someone else’s property. …
Meet Joe
The story of Joe has captured the hearts of animal lovers in southwestern Ontario. Some dirtbag shot the sweet little kitty with a pellet gun and he was found on the side of a road near death with 17 pellets in his head. …
Post-Op Spice
The veterinary surgeon couldn’t say enough about how well-behaved and wonderful our cat Spice is and we beamed like proud parents. …
Family Matters
Some people say it’s insane to spend hundreds of dollars on an operation for a cat when you can replace him with another one so much cheaper. None of those people live in this house. …
You Know What They Say
Cat videos are the most popular things on the Internet. …
Bathtub 1, Lisa 0
I had a mishap on the weekend that I attribute mostly to a lack of sleep. …
Half a Year With Spice
It’s been just over six months since the two of us, who had previously sworn off ever again succumbing to the charms of fur babies, threw caution to the wind and adopted Spice after I spotted him online at Animal Aide in St. Thomas. The other night I realized I didn’t know when our 11-year-old cat’s birthday was. Now I know that he is actually 12! …
My Cat Hat
The ways of a kitty-cat are not entirely unfamiliar to me. …
Taking Today Off
I’m afraid I’m too mentally exhausted today to form an opinion about anything except perhaps that iTunes is the work of the devil. But that’s a story for another day. So today I present to you someone I miss. Stan the cat. …
Something For a Lazy Sunday
There’s nothing quite like getting those knots out of tired muscles after a stressful week. …
