And now the daily word from Governor Lulu: All right. It’s the time we get together every single day. So let’s start the way that we always start by knowing and saying that we will get through this; we will get through this together. So say it with me: we will get through this. We […]
Quarantine, a tale in letters
My Dearest Birdbane (named Chill by the humans): It is now day 26 of the crisis I am calling, They. Just. Won’t. Leave. The humans have interrupted so many First Midmorning and Second Late Afternoon naps, yet have the audacity to be annoyed when I must gambol about during the night. The house echoes with […]
Maggie, the maestro
Maggie is one of our downtown quarantine babies, reminding us we’re all in this together!
Quarantine Critter Stories
I sure miss many of my furry friends out there (like my boys Gus and Rupert & Chloe, Roma, and Tequila). How is self-isolation treating you? Is your cat plotting to kill you yet (or more than usual)? Maybe they watched Tiger King and are getting ideas. Is hairball a new game you’re playing? Or, […]
Respect Your Cat
Today is Respect Your Cat Day I love cats, and I’m one of the few people that doesn’t identify as either a cat or dog person. But cats get a lot of bad press (they will eat you long before a dog if you die alone). Dogs are all surface, innate shining beings of all […]

To help me with The Case of the Missing Collar, I enlisted four of the most famous detectives in the area: Gordon, with his deer stalker on sideways as is the fashion, was looking hot and hot on the trail.

Neville, hail caesar
Over the summer, I got to know this big guy. Every day we had an adventure bigger than the last! Here are a few highlights: When no one is around, I like to think of Neville as Emperor of Short Street. He reclines on his cat tree while being fed and fanned by other cats […]
Sydney, inamorata
This is Sydney (in her tanuki suit), and oh how winter is an affront to good hair! These past months when I’ve had to bundle her against rain and cold, she’s been bursting to be free, to shed her clothes and throw her paws in the air! How happy she’ll be to let her hair […]
