Coco loco for her birthday
So last night, after I brought Einstein in from spider-watching outside on the porch, I came inside and fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up around 2:45 a.m., there was a very loud noise, a vibrational kind of motor sound. (more…)
A Boomer-licious birthday
If walks were presents, then Boomerang must have a birthday everyday — because he always gets at least one walk a day, and today — on his real birthday, he’s already had two walks and it’s only a bit past noon. (more…)
Home is where you make it and other musings on Einstein’s birthday
Today is Einstein’s birthday — my cat, Einstein, that is. She and I stayed up very late last night celebrating (yes, while Coco and Boomerang were slumbering) by standing outside on the screened in porch, mesmerized by a spider that has built a GIGANTIC web very close to a motion-sensor outdoor light.

Smooth moves at the Sarasota County Fair
Hey, has anyone seen the Bird/Magic documentary on HBO? It’s so interesting. I’m only thinking about that because I’m thinking about dunking … and I thought, up until last Friday, that dunking only occurred in basketball.
Little did I know there’s dunking in baseball too. But I digress a bit.

Sarasota Observer “Slice of the City” Column Helps Stray Kitty
The local newspaper, Sarasota Observer runs a weekly column titled “Slice of the City” with snippets and highlights about Sarasota and its residents. The paper’s Community Editor Loren Mayo took note of my Stray Kitty story and ran a brief article and photo about the adorable stray kitten who has been living in my carport.
Read the story on the Observer’s site (see link below) — and if you’re so motivated, leave a reader comment on the Observer’s site letting them know you appreciate their attention to this story — which will only help those 60,000 some-odd stray cats in Sarasota County! The paper must hear about a gazillion stories of the city every week and I really appreciate them noticing this one and trying to help the little guy!
Here’s the article on the Sarasota Observer website — or check it out in today’s issue of the paper on newsstands now (page 16).
He's famous now!!!
Kitty, kitty
One more photo to tug at the hearts of potential adopters!
60,000 stray cats in Sarasota? Let’s make that 59,999!!
Did you read Eric Ernst’s recent column on the subject of the estimated 60,000 stray cats in Sarasota county? It’s shocking — and important — reporting. I had no idea there were that many. I’m trying to do my part to solve the problem — I’ve adopted and neutered or spayed three cats and made them a part of my family … but three’s my limit!!
