Thank you for some rain

Stay dry, Vinny. We’ve had some rain around our part of the world lately. Enough for water to gather in the overflow behind terrific daughter Elisabeth and George Three’s backyard. Vinny really, really wants to go splashing. Nope.

On the lookout

Watching the world. Vinny likes when terrific daughter Elisabeth and George Three pull out the extra chair to their front door. Great view of their street! He likes it so much that he refuses to allow Izzy up there to share the sights with him, the kids report.

Those darn cats

Did you see that play?! Terrific daughter Elisabeth and George were watching the Mets game the other night .. … and so, apparently were loveable kitties Izzy and Vinny. Best cat fans, ever.

Vinny in his element

Park time. Elisabeth and George now pack up kitty Vinny and cart him the couple miles over to our wonderful Onondaga Lake Park. He loves roaming on his leash there as much as around their yard.

Our little climber

Don’t get stuck … Plenty of texts come from my terrific daughter Elisabeth exclaiming what kitty Vinny is up to. She likes to include a photo to marvel at his adventurous ways. Roaming on his harness and leash while she worked on her laptop wasn’t enough the other day. Vinny had to climb their tree.…

Tuckered out

Rest easy. Terrific daughter Elisabeth reported with a great text photo that Vinny and Izzy may have been happy to have the whole place back to just she, George Three and them when the last cookout visitors had said bye. Well done, kids and kitties!

Inside and out

Eyes spy. Elisabeth sent over this great photo of inside cat Izzy keeping a close watch on outside cat Vinny. He still likes the harness and stroll way more than she does. In fact, she doesn’t want to venture to the lawn much anymore. I’m glad they know their ways, these cute kitties.

Cat in the park

Sweet Eva there in spirit. When our Syracuse Mets announced the inaugural cats at the stadium game, terrific daughter Elisabeth and George Three got harnesses and leashes for kitties Vinnie and Izzy. Backpacks. A stroller. The inside kitties began seeing their neighborhood in a very supervised manner. But before game day, it was decided they…

Cats on a leash

Good job, Vinny. Vinny liked his visits to the shed, George reported as we attended our first baseball game of spring. But lugging the more adventurous of the two kittens out in the carrier to share safe outsider time was becoming a bit tedious, he admitted. Elisabeth got on her phone and found a fun…

Taking care of the kitties

Izzy and Vinny, left and right. We had our first shifts taking care of the kitties. Terrific daughter Elisabeth had a work trip up north, and fantastic George Three decided to take a couple days to accompany her. My dear wife Karen and I were thrilled to run over to their house to fill the…
