Artie’s Feast

Knowlesville Posted on November 25, 2005 by

Artie saw all of us making pigs of ourselves all weekend, so he decided on having his own feast. He caught one of the biggest gophers I’ve seen in our yard and quickly devoured most of it. And then came … Continue reading →

Farty Artie

Knowlesville Posted on September 4, 2005 by

When Artie first came to visit our house, he had a wound on his tail, and it never really healed. Last week it seemed like it was getting infected, so we took him to the vet, and while he was … Continue reading →

Sassy Cat

Knowlesville Posted on September 2, 2005 by

Lori loves it when our cats stick their tongues out, and it’s something they do more often than you’d think. I don’t know why they do it, but they’ll sit there with their tongues hanging out for several minutes on … Continue reading →

Artie

Knowlesville Posted on August 8, 2005 by

Well it’s official, we’re back to being a four cat household. Back in May I introduced the cat on the right and over the last few months he has made himself more at home with us. We finally found the … Continue reading →

Good Mouser

Knowlesville Posted on July 3, 2005 by

Trevor has consistently been one of the better mousers that we’ve had. Now if only he could catch the gopher that has been making a mess out of the area next to our driveway. The area that we just covered … Continue reading →

Ricky’s New Toy

Knowlesville Posted on May 27, 2005 by

A few weeks ago this kitten started showing up in our yard when we were out gardening. Then we would come home to find it playing out in the yard with Ricky. Soon they were unseparable. I think Ricky is … Continue reading →

Mama Mia

Knowlesville Posted on March 5, 2005 by

A few months ago we were visiting John Stewart’s house and Lori fell in love with this cat. This was shortly after we lost Galen, so the attraction was obvious. Lori jokingly mentioned that if they ever wanted to get … Continue reading →

Goodbye Einy

Knowlesville Posted on June 18, 2004 by

Sadly, we received an email from Derek that Cairo passed away, just two weeks after we lost his brother, Galen. That leaves Derek and Jasna with Rocket, and us with Ricky from the group of four brothers that Meg had. … Continue reading →

It’s My Lap

Knowlesville Posted on May 19, 2004 by

Ricky was determined to sit in Lori’s lap tonight, even though the space was occupied. Meg apparently didn’t mind him sitting on her, or at least she wasn’t going to vacate her chosen spot. After all, possesion is 9/10ths of … Continue reading →

Bouncy Ricky

Knowlesville Posted on January 25, 2004 by

Ricky picks up nicknames on a pretty frequent basis, the latest being Bouncy Ricky. He has a habit of bouncing between the top of the futon to Lori’s lap when we watch TV. His take offs and landings are usually … Continue reading →

Up a tree

Knowlesville Posted on January 23, 2004 by

If Meg weren’t such a fattie, she would probably enjoy climbing all the trees around our yard. But being that she does have a bit of a weight problem, this is as high as she goes.

Kitty

Knowlesville Posted on December 13, 2003 by

Just in case you didn’t think the first one was cute enough, here’s another one. Today we had our first hands on training session for the Fire Academy class I’m taking. After a short classroom session we proceeded to a … Continue reading →

Got Milk?

Knowlesville Posted on November 2, 2003 by

That seems to be Trevor’s favorite question lately. He knows as soon as he hears the cookie bag rustling, that milk will shortly follow. This picture is just for Mom. She’ll probably never eat in our house again.

Kitty Stack

Knowlesville Posted on October 16, 2003 by

Over time, our three indoor cats have laid claim to their own level on their kitty house. Ricky likes the top, where he can hang his paws off and swipe at you if you walk by without petting him. Galen … Continue reading →

Galen Playing

Knowlesville Posted on October 11, 2003 by

Galen, once again playing with a mouse. He’s not only good at catching them himself, he’s also good at stealing them from the other cats when they get bored. See all of our cats (with the possible exception of Trevor) … Continue reading →

The Kitty Blanky

Knowlesville Posted on August 30, 2003 by

This is a rare shot for two reasons. One, because Lori took it and I’m in it, and secondly and more importantly, both Meg and Trevor are sitting on my lap. Meg still resents that we accepted a cat that … Continue reading →

Wood Carrier

Knowlesville Posted on August 29, 2003 by

There’s something about our wood carrier that is irresistible to our cats. I’m not sure what is so interesting about it that when it isn’t filled with logs, there’s usually one or more cats sitting in it. Tonight we rented … Continue reading →

Coast is clear

Knowlesville Posted on April 7, 2003 by

This morning just as I was getting ready to go to work, Lori let all four cats out of the house. A few seconds after they left, I noticed some movement above the dishwasher, and spotted this tiny mouse checking … Continue reading →

Pulling Weeds

Knowlesville Posted on March 24, 2003 by

After getting back from our breakfast and tour yesterday, I had a few hours left to pull weeds and mow the lawn before sunset. A couple of wheelbarrow loads of weeds pulled and you’ld never notice the difference. The lawn … Continue reading →

Serves Him Right

Knowlesville Posted on January 12, 2003 by

After catching a red-eye flight back to Oakland, we drove back to Hollister to spend a final night with John and Carol. Then after a few hours of sleep, it was back to Mom & Dad’s for a belated Christmas … Continue reading →

Relaxing with Meg

Knowlesville Posted on November 29, 2002 by

This is something that I just haven’t had much of a chance to do lately, lie on the futon and scratch Meg’s soft white underbelly. It is certainly a nice way to end the day.
