07/23/2021 – A Story by Tessa

Once upon a time . . . I say that because, apparently, all good people stories begin with those words . . . there was a great gray and white tuxedo cat named, oddly enough and just like myself, Tessa.

This Tessa cat was very adventurous and independent. Sometimes, she was very loving. Sometimes, she was a little cranky.

Tessa liked a lot of things. Wet cat food comes to mind, instantly, for example. And chicken. Oh, and cheese! Tessa was the official cheese taste tester at her house. No one got away with opening a bag of cheese without me, er, I mean, Tessa knowing about it.

Don’t mind my slip up there. We’re talking about a completely different Tessa cat. I can’t help that it sounds a little bit like me. Perhaps ALL CATS NAMED TESSA LIKE CHEESE! It could happen!

Tessa also likes boxes, particularly low edged boxes that allowed this tuxedo cat to drape her delightfully contrasting paw over the edge. I do this, too, probably more that the Tessa cat in this story. See? Proof that although similar, we are different Tessas.

Hmm, do I detect disbelief amongst you?

07/19/2021 – Miscellaneous Monday

Mom cleaned out our Miscellaneous photo folder yesterday and just look at all the crazy stuff she found:

Leaving that home décor item out too long wasn’t the best idea in the world.

Quick! Guess the owner of that foot!

What about this foot? Whose is it?

Viola makes a good full moon. Someone asked us recently how we photoshopped full moon cats and we’re not sure they believed us when we told them we didn’t use photoshop at all. Mom just points an empty paper towel roll at a cat, lines up the camera in the opening facing her, and snaps a photo. Easy as can be.

Here’s the actual empty paper towel roll. Why Mom would take a photo of this thing is beyond reason.

Yes, Mom’s still putting things on cat heads.

And, apparently, things on Dad’s head, too.

Have a good Monday!
