Kiki













Hi, I'm Kiki. I am the original "feral cat".
I came from the woods in the back of the house 7 years ago. I was just 6 months old when I was discovered. My life outside was not for long. One day I was wandering around when 2 giant dogs started chasing me.
They were about to eat me alive when I saw this person out on the porch.
I decided to make a run and ran up the stairs to this person. I was scared at first but then realized that this person was not going to harm me.
He picked me up and then brought me inside.
I've been inside ever since.
As you can see from my pictures above, I eat well. Being an inside cat is much nicer than being an outside one. Take it from one who knows!

This Place is Going to the Dogs

Shadow
Harry
Fuzzy(aka Buns)


These are my dogs. Harry, a Basset Hound. Fuzzy, a Shih Tzu and Shadow a Miniature Schnauzer mix. They live a life of leisure. Nice warm beds, plenty of food, and lots of love. But they don't have a blog. If the cats outside get one, then why can't they? So here they are. Today is their day. Only thing is that they have done nothing but sleep, go outside to poop and pee and eat and sleep some more. It's a dog's life!

Brother and One Eyed Jack

One Eyed Jack
My name is Brother. I am not particularly fond of that name but that is what they call me. I am the brother of Lefki, Fred, and The Other Fred. Ethel is my mother and Jack is no doubt my father, since I look like him, except he has one eye. He got that way from fighting with other cats. He doesn't do much fighting these days. Probably because he has been fixed, whatever that means. They tell me that I will be fixed some day soon. We will see about that. That is Jack above my picture. Do you see a family resemblance?

Fluffy is Missing?!



Yesterday I arrived back home after two weeks in Sweden.

I couldn't wait to see all of the cats in the colony. Jack was waiting on the back poarch and as I came into the yard the others began to come around.

Martha, Little girl, the two Freds, and Brother came to say hi. Ethel was not there and neither was Fluffy. Ethel had come around earlier in the day so I was not worried about her. Then I was told that Fluffy had not been seen since the day I left. I called him but no Fluffy. Where could he have gone? I was hoping that he did not have the same fate as his brother Boy who disappeared back in June.

Today I had to find Fluffy. He did not come around for breakfast or the late afternoon meal. I decided to go to the woods and called him. I thought I heard some rustling in the leaves but it was not him. I called and called, no Fluffy. I went back in and not more than 5 minutes later, who comes out of the woods is Fluffy and Ethel. I fixed another plate of food and they came running. I was glad to see that he was alright. Earlier I heard gunfire from someone hunting and prayed it wasn't any of the cats. I am thankfull that they are all alright and still around.

It will be a long time before I go on another vacation away from home!
