Cats Learn Magnetic Poetry

Published April 18, 2011 | By Kim Clune

Jed and Kim If animals could speak our language, what would they say? Now we know.

Our cats found a way to communicate – using magnetic poetry. And with the mastering of this poetic persuasion came a surprising request for an item believed to spark further communication.

Rest assured, fostering feline creativity is not my desire. These cats already outsmart me on a daily basis. I need no more of that. Besides, this request is just plain unhealthy…

What’s on your cat’s mind?

Cat Naps

Published April 4, 2011 | By Kim Clune

I’ve been surrounded by so many wonderful animals and animal people in San Diego. Still, I’m ready to get home to all my boys tonight. After after a little cat nap, I’ve got so much to share with you. For now, I travel … and sleep.

Tree Hugging Cats

Published June 15, 2010 | By Kim Clune

Tree Climber While my kittens learned to fly like bumble bees during the first outing of their lives, that wasn’t all they learned. Tree hugging at towering heights also made the list.

Spurred on by squirrels (of course, it’s always the squirrels), the kittens surely felt they had something to prove. The rodent skillfully scaled each branch to the top and leapt to the next tree. It didn’t take long before the kittens followed at half pace.

Since one surely couldn’t be outdone by the other, Jed was the first to fly up the trunk and was followed soon after by Jackson. (The video may not reflect this accurately, but their mother remembers well.)

Uneasy about what to do once each climbed a full story up, both took the leap of their lives and landed safely on the ground. Bungee jumpers, eat your hearts out. And to all the mothers of kittens like me, hide your eyes. This is not for the feint of heart! (If you can’t see the video, visit “Tree Hugging Cats” on YouTube.)

The Cats and the Bees

Published June 12, 2010 | By Kim Clune

Stalking Jed Yes, the saying is usually “the birds and the bees,” but this post is definitely not about that.

Our cats had their first outting in May after they found their way through the dog door. Since then, they’ve been inside recouperating from a couple of neuters, some FLV shots and a bout with ringworm.

Here’s to hoping the dog doors remain dog doors and don’t turn into cat doors, but the fun that Jed and Jackson experienced chasing every carpenter bee, squirrel and cracking leaf likely made for the best day of their lives … (If you can’t see the video, visit “The Cats and the Bees” on YouTube.)

Kittens: You Just Can’t Get Enough

Published March 11, 2010 | By Kim Clune

Jed and Jackson It comes as a complete surprise that our not-so-little kittens are all the rage. I truly expected folks to bore easily. Not the case!

Since the first 30 photos (see “Kitten Obsession“) aren’t nearly enough, here they are, back by popular demand and with special thanks to @BethanneElion for her multiple requests… Jackson and Jed!

PS: I feel so validated. Thank you.
