On a dreary, rainy late winter afternoon, what could be better than shopping to lift your spirits? How about shopping and a reunion with a really good friend? A surprise reunion for Barney!

Barney and I headed to Petco with a specific purchase in mind, a new water dispenser. A really BIG one, so that mom doesn’t have to fill water bowls every time she turns around!

We went armed with a gift card we got at Christmas, but I made sure I had my checkbook, too. When I shop with the kitties we always go a little bit beyond the gift cards. (more…)

As snow continued to fall long after dark on Friday night, I suggested to Barney and Shadow that it might be fun to go outside the next day and build a snow cat.

“Well, Barn, it looks like you and I will play in the snow tomorrow,” I told him. By the time we ventured outside shortly after noon the snow was…GONE!  A little remained in the back yard but not nearly enough to make a snow kitten, much less a snow cat. (more…)

Wooo. Pig. Kitty, Kitty??  Maybe not usually, but that’s the way it was today as Feline Rescue and Rehome PR Team Barney and Shadow headed to a tailgating fundraiser for FuRR.

Chris Tirman and Dan Eaton of the Alloplastic Facial Reconstruction Clinic at B St. and Van Buren graciously let us use their parking lot to benefit our cats and kittens!

The lot filled quickly, and we set up a table by the sidewalk offering brownies, cookies, drinks and hot dogs for a donation to FuRR. Our main attractions, though were Barney and Shadow.  (more…)
