Our Cats

As of August 2010, we have nine cats. The brothers Galen and Sumner (who don't look like like brothers, but are), Minerva, Jolie, Clementine, Skeeter (formerly Sparkles), JoeBob, Rey and Earl. We have had many other cats over the years, some rescues whom we fostered and then adopted out.

Read some vignettes of events that have occurred with our cats at Margaret's Musings on Cats.

We mourn the passing of Simon, who died suddenly on Feb. 4, 2007, at the age of 7 1/2.

Our darling Seamus was killed by coyotes in October 2008, at the age of 3 1/2, when he accidently got out of the house one evening at the time when three coyotes happened to be passing through our yard.
