Zulu: My Fav Coworker!

ZULU is one of my favorite coworkers. He loves sitting near me as I work on the computer.

He is a conscientious colleague. He makes sure to groom so he always looks his best.

Though I will admit that he does get playful and can be very distracting

ZULU: Of course I’m distracting. Look at me I’m gorgeous. I’m amazed you can get any work done at all with me nearby!

NOTE: I am headed to South Africa and will be traveling in Southern Africa for about a month so you may not hear from me until early May! Despite Amarula’s protests I am refusing to bring her with me to return her back to her native country but I have promised her that I will not bring back another South African stray.

AMARULA: Look me in the eyes and promise me you won’t be bringing back any more felines! One South African tortie per household only!

Where’s Frodo?

Do I hear snoring? What’s that under the blanket?

Looks like an orange ear!

It’s Frodo! Sleeping in his fav spot (when the fire isn’t on)

FRODO: Mom can you please let an orange mancat have a nap? I need to restore my strength so I can chase Amarula around the house and finally get her to play with me. You know how much she loves when I do that!

The Catnip Patch is Back (Sorta)

We are having a very mild winter here in my corner of Canada and Frodo insisted on going outside to check how his catnip patch was doing

While most of the catnip is dead, there are a few sprouts starting to push out of the ground and Frodo spent an enjoyable afternoon rubbing all over it

He was clearly in a state of bliss.

Until, finally, exhausted, he fell into a catnip coma!

Love is in The Air

You may recall from my post a few weeks ago that there is a neighbourhood cat named Harry who is really trying to win over the gang and convince them he could be their new best friend!

Frodo is on board and wants to invite Harry inside for a play date but Zulu and Amarula (in a rare moment of agreement) are definitely not in the mood for Harry’s love and friendship.

FRODO: Let’s invite Harry in! He is such a handsome cat it’s like I am looking into a mirror

ZULU: No way! I am outta here

ZULU: Now he is making house calls at night too!? Intolerable!

FRODO: Come on squeeze through the bars Harry!

AMARULA: If that orange menace comes any closer I am going to use him as my own personal scratching post

HARRY: Come on let me in! I love visiting all the neighbours!

The Boys are Back

The boys are back to doing what they do best…nothing!


As long as it’s in front of the fire they can do nothing all day and night long!

Mom’s off to a winter escape in Anguilla for a week so it might take her awhile to visit other blogs but don’t worry about us cause her brother is moving in for the week to catsit us and he has promised to keep the fireplace on full time!!

Going Gray!

Zulu likes to hang out with me when I work and today I noticed something odd…

He is getting quite gray. He’s only 12 years old so I was surprised.

I have never had a cat go gray before. Has anyone else? Is it normal? Regardless, I think it makes him look very distinguished!

Intruder Alert!

NO! That orange and white kitty you see is not Frodo. It’s Harry! One of my neighbours got a young cat named Harry. Incredibly friendly. He keeps coming to my backyard to try to make friends with the cats.

Zulu took one look at Harry and made a run for it.

Despite his relaxed approach, Amarula has already attacked him twice but he just keeps coming back! He will not be deterred.

He’s a good climber and a bit of a daredevil.

And he spends a lot of time looking at Frodo (maybe he thinks he’s looking in a mirror) I thought Frodo would love him but there’s something about him that Frodo doesn’t like. Though Frodo won’t admit it, I think it has to do with Harry being orange and white just like him. Is it possible that sweet Frodo is actually experiencing jealousy!?

FRODO: That Harry is stealing my spotlight! I am supposed to be the most lovable Creamsicle kitty on the block!

It’s The Most Wonderful Time of The Year!

It’s Zulu and Frodo’s fav time of the year. No, not Christmas. Today was the first day mom turned on the fireplace. What we humans know as winter, the felines call “fireplace season”

Get your snuggle on!

It will be tough, but I think Frodo and Zulu will somehow manage to struggle through the winter!
