A Game of Cat and Mouse
I have heard and even used the phrase “A Game of Cat and Mouse” most of my life. I had a vague idea of what it meant most of that time. But part of my impression came from the Cartoons of Tom and Jerry. Jerry Mouse always won. He usually didn’t end up dead at…

Black Cats Plural
This morning I was asked if we would consider taking in another cat. After hearing about her we agreed to let her see if she liked our house and home. Her name was Lola with her previous owner. She started exploring as soon as her previous owner took her out of the carrier. We gave…

We have a cat. Her name is Magic. She’s taken on personality traits of everyone in the house. For instance the shelter she came from said she was a quiet cat. That lasted for a while but she eventually decided to compete with all the other sounds in the house. She is also as eccentric…
