We’re all surviving the heat wave over here, despite the fact that neither house has air conditioning and both houses are crazy hot. On the bright side, I can’t tell anymore when I’m having a hot flash. And at least the car has AC, so when we’re between houses we’re blissful.
CBC Radio was asking […]

Duncan and I have only one major point of contention – he wants to go outside, and I won’t let him.
All my other cats were allowed to go outside and live independent cat lives, but Duncan is my prisoner.
When I lived downtown with five cats (Mr. Jones, Catastrophe, Mean Joe, Screamer and Beethoven), […]

We found the mouse yesterday afternoon. He was in the toe of GC’s slipper. He was alive and showed no obvious signs of trauma other than, well, looking traumatized. Poor wee thing.
We put him – slipper and all – out on the front porch. GC said he could keep the slipper since he’s never wearing […]

All this time I suspected Duncan was a bit lazy, but it turns out he just had nothing to do. That’s why he slept twenty hours a day.
But it turns out he’s actually a workaholic. The last few days he has been working round the clock.
On Sunday he chased a mouse behind a bookcase. […]

Duncan and I had our first fight yesterday.
I bought five plants for the garden but brought them inside because we were expecting frost last night. Duncan wanted them. I made it abundantly clear that he was to leave them alone. I moved them from the floor to the coffee table when he wouldn’t leave […]

The first owl egg has pipped, so we should be getting an owlet within hours. You can watch the miracle of life here. (Right now Molly’s eating a rat.)
I keep the big computer on the owl cam all day long, in full-screen mode, and use the laptop for everything else. I keep a close eye […]

Duncan in his leopard skin carrier
Duncan had his annual checkup yesterday, and guess what? He’s lost three pounds! He’s down to 19 pounds now. The vet says good for him, but he could still stand to lose a few more.
“He’s a big cat,” she said.
He’s also got some tartar on his teeth, […]

News of Duncan’s fame has reached all the way back to his roots. The Ottawa Humane Society blogged about him yesterday.
You’d think his head would be swelling by now, but no.
“Duncan,” I said, “The Humane Society blogged about you! They heard you were the star of a romance novel!”
“Oh I’m just a minor […]
