Out and About

A new selection of 'hood cats:

Not a cat, just a large doggo!

As I didn't know the names of the above critters, I waited until I could ask someone by name to volunteer for a selfie:

Sly said 'yes', even if he looks like I'd just roused him from a nap.

And, as it happens, I HAD just woken him from his slumber on the garden wall.

Sorry, dude...I'll always want more photos of you.

 It's Caturday!

In honor of Henry's 1st Gotchaversary, I used his pic from yesterday and just dolled it up a tiny bit in iPhoto.

Oddly enough, today, October 18, 2025 is International Archeology Day.

Being a historian, today is special to me.

So, guess what?

I got a tattoo of stylized Irish petroglyphs:

Loosely based on the images below:

Loughcrew Cairns, in County Meath, Ireland

Kerbstone 52 at Newgrange, County Meath, Ireland

So, celebrate anything REALLY OLD today!

Let's Hop!

Surprise!

It's Formerly Feral Friday!

Yes, it's now time to drop the "Hopefully Soon To Be" section from H. S. T. B. F. F.

And do you know why?

October 18, 2024 was Henry's first day inside at Eastside Cats!

That makes tomorrow his 1st Gotchaversary.

Below is the very first photo that we took of Henry, from January 2024:

Once the colder weather started in October, 2024, The Hubby and I decided that our outside visitor needed to come inside.

Our trusty drop trap did the trick, and Bob's your uncle, Henry is an inside cat!

Recent developments:

He allows me to hold his tailio tip, as he leads me to his food bowl.

He kicks his toys at my feet, so I will toss them back to him.

While either human is bathing in our antique claw-foot bathtub, Henry wanders around the bathroom.

We love you, Henry, and here's to many more Gotchaversaries!
