Other than at breakfast and dinner time, I’ve been a trifle aloof. It’s been so darn cold, I have not wanted to leave the cozy warmth of my critter cottage. At this time of year, I prefer to take long naps snuggled in my blankets with my nose tucked under my paws. When I am […]

Seven Steps for Making Snow Rolls
The holidays are upon us and with it comes the joy of snow rolls. No, you silly oaf, I am not talking about anything gooey, sweet, or made with bread. I wouldn’t eat anything like that. I am a cat. I am talking about winter sports for felines. Let me tell you how you can […]
Gazing Out of Windows
Gazing out of windows can be purrty fun and help pass the time if you get bored. You never know what you will see and if you pay close attention you will surely see something interesting; the seasons change right before your slanty eyes, the wind howls and trees sway, and snow flies in swirly […]
Sniffing Around
The past few days have been so cold and wet that I haven’t gotten much time to explore my new yard at all. However, the sun came out yesterday and I was happy to take a walk around my new territory. First I walked down the hill to check out the pile of logs […]
Renewable Resources – For Cats
The members of my human family have adopted a more self-sufficient lifestyle since transitioning from city life to their forest home. This got me to thinking. Perhaps I could be more self-sufficient too. I considered this – if my feral friends can sustain themselves on squirrels and birds, I could at least try my […]
Halloween Blues
I’m feeling rather introspective today. How could I not? Halloween is one of the most dreaded holidays of all for cats. Especially black ones. It’s a shame, but there are pea brains in this world that must have no conscience, because I’ve heard horror stories about humans that do harm to black cats. […]
Where In the World Is Wes?
My last entry was a bit of a cliffhanger- eh? I like it to be that way sometimes as I feel it keeps up the suspense. Many a cat’s life is lacking in suspense, if you think about it. So as we know from my most recent article, some big changes have occurred in […]
Before They Had Cat Ladies and Old Maids….
…the Flathead Valley had these fellows. This photograph taken from a historical book about the Flathead Valley caught my eye. Two of the men in the photograph advertising “Wives Wanted” are holding cats. Adventurous men traveled to the Montana frontier in the 1800’s and 1900’s looking for work and hoping for success. Many […]
Mewving Daze
First of all, the living room transformed. I made the best out of this unusual situation and decided to sit atop a prime box that had been topped with a soft blue blanket. From here I could survey the strange activities of the household humans. Alas, my humans lugged away much […]
Yogurt is for Sissies
When I saw the humans with that Greek Yogurt container, I was hoping they weren’t going to tempt my feline taste buds with dairy. I thought to myself, “On no, you can’t get me to eat that stuff.” “It’s for sissies.” They barely gave me a sideways glance and then laid the container […]
