Mooshisms

July 5, 2009

It’s been a week since we put Mooshie down. For 11 years, this gentle and loving kitty gave us so many precious memories, so here is my list of Mooshisms to remember her by. I remember first seeing little Moosh cowering in the back of the cage at the Humane Society. She was a beautiful [...]

Moosh Is Off To The Rainbow Bridge

June 27, 2009

Our Moosh departed for the Rainbow Bridge at around noon today, after bringing immense joy to our lives for 11 years. Her IBD had progressed to the point where trips to the litter box were so painful, she would throw up in reaction, making it almost impossible to keep any nutrients in her frail body. [...]

1 Down, 8 To Go

March 16, 2009

Truffle was climbing the screen in our 2nd story bathroom this morning when it gave and she fell out, sending Kathy into a frenzy. Both mommy and kitty are doing fine. 1 down, 8 to go…

The Photographer’s Kitten

January 14, 2009

There’s nothing like trying to work around a kitten skittering all over your equipment—light stands, backgrounds, wires—attacking anything that happens to catch her eye… tabs, labels, plugs. It’s all a game, and it’s all fair game at that. I wasn’t a working photographer when Widgit was a kitten, so this is uncharted territory. Can’t leave [...]

Truffle Update

December 27, 2008

It’s been a little more than a week since our Christmas Kitty arrived in our home, and as you would expect, it’s now her home and we live here at her pleasure. She and Moosh still aren’t best buds, but Moosh doesn’t run out of the room every time she gets bonked by a Truffle [...]

Kitties Together

December 23, 2008

This morning I got this photo of our 2 girls together. Ok, they were so busy eating that they wouldn’t look up for me. Yes, Mooshie is actually stretched over Truffle to eat. I don’t know why Truffle didn’t move but they are getting a little more used to each other. Of course, Truffle is [...]

Trouble With Truffle

December 18, 2008

We got our new 3½-month-old kitten home today. Her name is Truffle… kinda rhymes with trouble, which we can already see we’re in for. She likes to explore everything fully, but she won’t do it without company—namely, me, at the moment, since Kathy had meetings to go to. She’s my shadow for the time being. [...]

Lonely Kitty

December 15, 2008

Since Widgit’s passing, Moosh has been increasingly clingy with us—having to be on us all the time, constantly following one of us around, always begging for (actually demanding) attention or pieces of whatever we’re eating. So much so that it’s become difficult to work. Climbing up on us and disabling our hands isn’t new, but [...]

Day 3

December 8, 2008

Day 3 post-Widgit, and I’m doing a little better. At least the fog has lifted somewhat and I seem to be able to focus a bit more, if even for short periods. The last couple of days have been pretty rough for both of us. I’ve been out shooting the sunsets, even though they haven’t [...]
