Photos and ramblings from a hopelessly obsessed animal admirer
From the category archives:
Well, the idea behind my training for the month of April was fun, and went pretty well the first week. Unfortunately, being that I am dealing with four distinct cat personalities, things got complicated. Everyone (except Dexter), decided all the treats I was using were not motivating enough to continue ‘work’ on a daily basis [...]

If there is one thing I adore about the Pet Meadow crew, is that each is so unique. We had a guest stay at the house last week, and that always gives me a chance to watch the animals through another’s eyes. Dexter and Cosmo have always been fine with strangers. Dexter on a rare [...]

The husband asked me awhile back what I would like for Christmas. We are not very big into exchanging much between each other, we usually focus any gifts on family and friends first. This year I asked for his handyman skills to help with a problem in our office. Working from home has been great, [...]

Hours Later…… _____________ Cosmo is right, I have been rewarding them for staying out of the kitchen, when needed, on their ‘mats’ or beds for years. Easy technique, great results, and keeps felines out from under feet while cooking or eating meals with company. As soon as I plop down beds or towels anywhere, everyone [...]

For the background on my feline crew after three weeks with a kitten around, see Part 1. Below are some photos of the Dexter and Asia relationship as it plays out. Will be interesting to see how this develops over time, he is much more tolerant of her then I expected, but I don’t think [...]

So life continues to get increasingly amusing, entertaining, and energetic around here with Asia growing, Bayou feeling better slowly (he has been [...]
