Text of the page (random words):
i have three cats monday may 4 2026 sadness on saturday may 1st i learned that a cat blogosphere acquaintance had died jackie from two devon cats otherwise known as eric and flynn passed away i can assume only that it was as a result of the cancer that she had been battling for some years this event was a shock to me as i know it was to others who knew jackie knew of her and read her blog especially since she had posted the latest entry in that blog just the day before indeed she had been sending out e mail updates on her health to all those who wanted to receive them i did and i suspect so did many and i had received the latest only on tuesday april 28th though she wrote of the treatment for her cancer continuing to be hard on her there was optimism in the e mail and no hint that it would be her last update jackie and her husband ivor loved their cats of whom they had a number through the years i know in detail of only two the subjects of their blog eric and flynn were orange and white brothers who came to live at allern farm as kittens they were outside inside farm cats and loved to patrol their domain with their mum and dad eric especially seemed to have a bond with ivor while flynn was the more daring one the better hunter and tree climber but they did almost everything together and it must have been hard on flynn when his brother died in i think 2010 flynn survived him by seven years and it s difficult to think that he s been gone for nine years already since then jackie published a weekly entry celebrating the cats memories and i loved reading about them in retrospect i know from the many comments each post received that scores of other people loved it as much as i i am not sure how long jackie and ivor had been married from the photographs they shared with their readers i think they must have wed in the late 1970s or early 80s they had been together a lifetime i know i never read of any other family they may have had but they had many friends with whom they visited in their occasional travels jackie wrote of those journeys on another blog one entry featured a story that may have been partly supernatural and was certainly creepy jackie didn t give an opinion she just wrote it as it happened if anyone can point me to that blog i would be grateful i cannot remember how to find it jackie put up with a lot from her cancer and i cannot leave out the effects it must have had on ivor jackie defeated cancer once but as it so treacherously does in many cases it returned and this time though she fought she did not win it is tragic the cat blogosphere site published a tribute to jackie at which comments may be left https blog catblogosphere com remembering jackie avery people may also leave comments at eric and flynn s blog

with the fresh winter was indifferent with relatively little snow even if we did have a couple of big dumps it was dry and windy for the most part with pleasant days alternating with chilly but no very cold temperatures now the spring seems genuinely to be upon us with warm days and relatively warm nights the windows can be open regularly and as readers may imagine the cats are enjoying this

world to report their eyes which have been all black have started turning blue right now it s a dark blue not easy to distinguish from the black pupil all the time but quite different nonetheless as well vivace decided it was time to see what the soaker pad surrounding the cat bed smelled like she not only slipped out of the cat bed but was sniffing the new flooring indeed all the kittens are using their noses more and i think they can smell their mum s food when it is brought to her warm and fresh and then there s this guy allegro has observed that there seems to be a whole universe beyond the high walls of the birthing bed he himself is not that tall he is probably standing on a sibling s head to look over the great barrier but once a kitten sees what is available for exploration it can t be long until the actual exploration begins posted by john bellen at 1 23 pm 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday may 1 2026 little purrs the kittens are showing progress yesterday i caught vivace the little tortoiseshell girl scrabbling at the walls of the birthing bed it was not a serious effort to escape but it s the first time any of the babies has shown an inclination to go beyond the visible borders of their world largo meanwhile that s him behind viv in the photograph has started purring he responded positively to me stroking his back and sides that s a positive sign in the kittens interaction with me as well as in their physical and emotional growth until now their reactions have comprised hissing spitting and squealing in protest keeping them close to my body when i lift them away from their mother reassures them to an extent the tempos also seem to enjoy having the bridges of their noses gently rubbed i know a number of cats who like that and while i rub them there these little ones close their eyes and sit still they are three weeks old now posted by john bellen at 5 54 am 11 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday april 29 2026 washing day i think the babies of every species of mammal on the planet undergo the ordeal of the spit wash human children certainly do the only concession the parent makes is that a handkerchief or facial tissue is used otherwise it s the same a dirty face or body receives the cleansing benefit of spit so it was with rhapsody s kittens last night their mother decided it was time for them to be bathed each was seized in turn there was no refusal they were held down little limbs flailing eyes shut against a rough tongue resistance was of no use it s not easy being the children of a good mother but they certainly stay clean posted by john bellen at 6 19 am 9 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday april 28 2026 doing his duty and then some all the cats in the cosy cabin use the litter boxes conscientiously some are a little messier than others but their aim is true and if the results include some sweeping rather than scrubbing and washing that s acceptable for some that s not good enough some like to make sure the debris is covered if moxy finds uncovered deposits he will cover them i don t mind that then there are brazil and sable brazil and sable will make sure everything is covered and they will make sure and make sure and make sure and make sure and make sure and make sure sable is not as bad as brazil and brazil is usually worse late at night i will be just drifting off to sleep when i hear a cat in the litter box shimmer likes to give small cries to let me know he is going to use the box once there he will conduct his business and then he will commence the cover up i can hear him change positions every few seconds he digs from the right he digs from the left he scrapes forward he scrapes backward there s a pause he s done he starts again i don t want to roust him out of the litter box of course that would lead to him thinking going there is a bad thing so i try encouragement good job brazil that s it you re done you can go now that s a good boy you re finished come on brazil up up all done good boy let s go fine work i timed him once after he had been going for a while he continued to work for five minutes many animals are conscientious but some carry it farther than others posted by john bellen at 2 44 pm 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday april 27 2026 free for all the kittens have not ventured out of the cat bed yet one or two have been outside but i think these have been accidents they clamber about on the parapet and look beyond its confines and sometimes they fall off i don t believe any has made a deliberate attempt to escape to the wider world yet but they are crawling more now and then everyone is on the move climbing over each other over their mother completely apathetic as to who or what they step on there are fights little limbs flailing almost ineffectively eyes closed against little toe bean blows to the face over access to milk over being trod upon sometimes it looks like an animated version of a renaissance painting of the condemned in hell writhing twisting rolling falling except it s the little furry demons performing all the actions here is a glimpse of a typical free for all please note

subscribe to posts atom cassie shouldn t be overlooked cassie tends to be overlooked by potential adopters and when she is seen her damaged ear may make her look too used too old but this lively girl cat is not quite three years old and is healthy and she s curious and active ready to check out what s going on at any time we used to think that cassie didn t like other cats but that was when she had to take care of her two kittens once they were adopted her attitude and life changed we won t say that she became the life of the party but she is happy to be invited she enjoys the company of other felines and has made a couple of very good friends among her foster home s four legged population she would be perfect for the home that has a lonely cat or one who doesn t interact cassie can be the pal they ve been waiting for as for humans cassie is cautious at first she is nonetheless a friendly lady and is willing to see what a person has to offer would you like to meet cassie all paw adoptions start with a trial adoption usually two weeks in which human and cat can meet and discover all the wonderful things each other has this allows the cat s true personality to emerge slowly gradually the way the cat wants to reveal it and we think cassie s personality is well worth the revelation https pawsociety ca portfolio item cassie movie night at the cosy cabin now reviewing the
