Because you caught me mid-lick, I demand from you…*puts on best Dr. Evil voice*…One BILLION Kisses!

Whatever you say, Maxx. Remind us also to put away the movie DVDs after an evening of “Austin Powers.”

Calm and cool, Miss Newton is one of the least stressed cats we’ve ever had the pleasure of living with. No, wait, that would be Seth, no, Maxx, scratch that, Tessa…

Truth be told, Miss Newton is responsible for bring a collective peace into Colehaus. She’s brought together all the kittens and the grown boys, stepped in to make adjustments in playing/sleeping arrangements, taught Pia how to handle Tessa’s rowdy-ness and stands up for anyone small who gets whapped. She seems to always have a smile on her face and a special light in her eyes for everyone.

Similar to Seth who is a comfort cat for Dad, Miss Newton is a comfort cat for the kittens. We’re looking at the next Queen of Colehaus Cats in training.

Colehaus is fortunate in that there exists a small but wonderful garden brimming with flowers and trees and water and life. There are summer birds and winter birds and sometimes, each extend their stay into the other season.

Our nights are easing into the pre-fall, chilly temperatures but the days remain sunny and dry. The last summer flowers shine now and open their throats to those who visit, like our hummingbirds.
