This morning, I took this little guy to the Humane Society:

This young, unneutered tomcat showed up at our doorstep during the holidays, obviously homeless and hungry, but otherwise in good shape and friendly. We took care of him but the weather is getting colder, and spending much of his day in our tiny entry hall isn’t exactly a solution. We already have five cats, so adopting him was not a good idea.

On the way to the Humane Society, as the sun shone into the car, I noticed that he had blue-ish eyes. He was obviously part Siamese, but the blue eyes were news to me.

I hope he finds a good owner soon and lives a long and happy life.

Caught on a Web cam, two very worried kitties in my wife’s room, listening intently as workmen were demolishing an old furnace in the basement:

The other three cats were in hiding.

The White House cat during the Clinton years, Socks, died yesterday.

No, it’s not the name of a heavy metal group or a German curse word, just an appropriate way to describe the cats in our house, now six in number, given that we have a guest cat again. Poppy is back with us for a month.

Today, I decided to download and install WordPress, a web logging tool. It’s time for me to join the 21st century, get rid of my homebrew Day Book, and start using a modern web logging tool instead. (I refuse to call it a “blog”. I really dislike that word.)

Halloween cat

A little confusing, but I think I also know how to include an image. My test image is my favorite Halloween cat. I think it’s nice to start a brand new web log with a friendly black cat.
