Miss Hannah and Little Bunny Foo Foo

April 11, 2012 By Joi

My beautiful and sweet Hannah Our normally sweet, laid-back, and  incredibly gentle cat Hannah!

Hannah, pictured above, is the sweetest, most laid-back cat in the world. She’s so sweet, in fact, that a lot of times when I’m talking to or about her, I’ll say “Sweet Hannah,” as though it’s her official name. Which makes her recent behavior so astounding!

For one thing, she has been incredibly grouchy with our other two outside cats, Jelly Bean and Queen Fatima.  A few nights ago, I guess she thought Jelly Bean looked at her the wrong way ’cause she jumped on him and rolled him around. SO not like her!

Something else she did that was highly (highly) out of character: She came bouncing right up to me last night with a baby bunny in her mouth.

  1. She never hunts
  2. She’s too lazy to spend the energy required to make a kill
  3. Unlike Tigger, Hannah doesn’t bounce

I’m guessing that Jelly Bean (the only one that could possibly do such a thing) made like Elmer Fudd, then Hannah took his prize from him. After all, Hannah’s so laid-back and poses such a low risk to anything and anyone that birds frolic within inches of her. I once saw a cardinal land practically on her tail to reach a sunflower seed.

She never even noticed.

Cats are fascinating, aren’t they? Just when we think we’ve got them figured out…. they come bouncing up with a most un-welcomed guest.

This morning, Hannah’s basking in the sun, lazily watching the birds at the bird feeders and all’s right with the world again.  When I fed her breakfast, I asked her about Little Bunny Foo Foo this morning but she just gave me an innocent look and kept eating.  I promised her I wouldn’t tell anyone about the incident – but I never promised I wouldn’t write about it.

Our Precious Bo Has Been Missing for 3 Long Days

July 13, 2006 By Joi

Steph and Bo

One of the sweetest natured and most beautiful cats in the world – our much, much loved “Bo” has been missing for 3 days. Needless to say, we are pretty much beside ourselves. We’re hoping like mad that he’s off doing what boy cats do and is just taking a vacation from celibacy. An extended vacation.

But hope is wearing thin because of his nature. He’s very much a “big baby” and craves attention. He has never missed a meal and shows up for our evening stroll like clock work. Except for the past two nights. And he LOVES the routine of eating breakfast, then coming in to wake up our daughter Steph (pictured with him above). The past 3 mornings have been pretty lonely for her. No one has ever loved an animal more than she loves that cat.

We all love him like crazy and are hoping and praying that he shows up. His mother, my beautiful Carly, disappeared in January and never showed back up.

We’re counting on a happier ending this time.

Please remember us in your thoughts and prayers –
Joi

MinJee

Beautiful “MinJee”
We have inside and outside cats and we love them all like family. The beauty, above, is MinJee and she is as sweet as she is gorgeous.

If the spoiled inside crew would allow it, needless to say they’d ALL be inside. As it is, our outside cats have their own custom-built wooden homes and penthouses and, yes, they are all equipped with heating pads for the cold months.

We also feed and care for feral cats. Some honor us by following us home and allowing us to give them a forever home and to, more importantly, be their forever family.
