• Christmas, Cats, and a New Cat Tree – Thoughts from December 25, 2024

  

  Just as Christmas Eve was mainly about our niece and nephew’s new baby, Christmas Day was about Scout and her three kittens. Actually, it’s about Scout and her only slightly younger than her adult cats. Until next July, Scout is four and Beatrix, Luna, and Willow are three. Beatrix is about the same size as…

• Never Seeing Quest Again – Thoughts from July 18, 2023

  

  I just got a call at work from Patti about Quest. Quest was in our bedroom on the floor, and she couldn’t lift her head. Patti’s sister came over and they are going to take Quest to the vet. Patti and I dealt with this situation before. Sister (the cat) had the same thing happen…

• Thinking About Quest – Thoughts from July 16, 2023

  

  I’ve become the guy who brings down the room by talking about Quest going blind. I can’t really talk about anything else because it’s the only thing on my mind. She just turned thirteen years old and I don’t know if she’s going to make it to fourteen. I tell people her age and they…

• Pooping on the Super Bowl – Thoughts from February 12 and 13, 2022

  

  February 12, 2022 Well, it’s been a while since I wrote about my thoughts from life. I have been listening to my old Thoughts papers starting as early as 1991. What the hell! To say it’s weird does not encompass how weird I’ve been throughout my life. So many ups and sooooooooo many downs. It’s…

• Missing a Cat Named Slash – Thoughts from November 16, 2011

  

  (Future note: The following are the words I wrote for the Three Girl Cats blog I started for Slash, Blaze, and Quest. They were born on June 3rd, 2009, and she died November 15, 2011. It was the final entry for the blog and my final words about Slash.) Unfortunately, this is the last posting…

• Three Girl Cats Named Slash, Blaze, and Quest – Thoughts about June 3, 2009

  

  (Future note: The following was written around May 2010, but June 3, 2009, is more relevant to what I’m talking about. This is the day Slash, Blaze, and Quest were born. As I mentioned in another Thoughts paper, Quest is still with us, along with four newcomers. Who are these people that came to live…
