Ether in my Lap
Ether wanted my attention a lot today. He sat in my lap and groomed himself for upwards of two hours today. My sons were sleeping most of that time and Stephanie needed to be left alone after a dentist appointment. So Ether had me all to himself. At some point Stephanie and the children all…

My Lap
For about a year Magic would curl up in my lap and sleep. Sometimes this was for several hours. Then Ether came and has tried to claim my lap since then. But Magic isn’t going to let him bully her and I won’t either. Magic was in my lap this morning and Ether walked up…

Sleeping with a Cat
Last night Ether was climbing all over Stephanie while she was trying to sleep. She got fed up with him, put him in my room, and closed her door. Ether immediately wanted my attention instead, but I was also trying to sleep. He climbed all over me for about twenty minutes and eventually lay down…

Cat House
Stephanie got the cats a two story house. They all liked it until Ben started messing with them in it. It’s very light and he dumped Ether out of it. The two of them don’t have a healthy relationship. Ben grabbed him earlier and Ether put a gash in his hand. If Ben fights with…

Rosemary Olive Oil
Lately when I am in the easy chair Ether has been climbing into my lap. He’s scabby and mangy at this point because he has been violently grooming himself. He likes to do that in my lap, so I decided I would see if I could help him. We have an old bottle of rosemary…

That Dang Cat
Yesterday evening Ether got out again. He did not return for night fall. He did not return in the day. He has still not returned 24 hours later. We are as you might imagine worried. It’s not the first time he’s been gone this long. He’s probably okay. But it’s been storming, so he’s also…

Black Cat on a Friday Night
It’s 10 pm and Ether is still outside. That always concerns Stephanie and me a bit. But tonight in particular Ben is anxious that the cat is out. He doesn’t like the cats outside but has come to accept it during the day. But at night they all need to be inside for him to…

Cat Litter
I’ve been putting off changing the litter in the three litter boxes. I did that today. I got all the way out to the garbage bin before one of the bags broke. I really need to be more proactive about this job. It gets grosser the longer I put it off. But it’s done for…

Ethereal Sleep
I didn’t go to bed until 3am. Ether really wanted to be next to me when I did. I usually roll back and forth to get comfortable. The spot he picked allowed me to do that and he didn’t mind this time. I bet that sounds weird, but he is an awesome cat. My sleep…

Ether Hates Showers
I don’t remember whether I typed about this when it happened but Ether got into a fight with a stray cat in the neighborhood a few weeks ago. I shooed the other cat away and picked Ether up and brought him into the house. He was wet, sticky, and gross. I can only assume that…
