There’s s new addition to the Vaught household this week - a 6wk old kitten named Zipper (a.k.a Bandit or Little One).
My friend Melanie and her husband found him stranded on the side of the road a few days ago. They brought him home but were heading out of town and needed someone to [...]

Some time during March 2004, a little grey and white kitty opened his eyes and had his first glimpse of the world. Seven months later, I would take a trip with Jennifer, Jeff and Lori to meet this kitty, adopting him and taking him to a new home that same day.
Three years later, he’s [...]

Help! I’ve having some major issues with my cat, Smokey. He’s tearing up the house!
He didn’t use to be all that bad, but he’s gotten really bad lately. I’ve had him about 14 months now and in that time he’s broken blinds, torn carpet, ransacked plants, eaten food sitting on counters and [...]

One year ago today, I went with my friends Lori, Jennifer and Jeff to Jeff’s parents house to take a look at some kittens. I came home later that afternoon with my Smokey. It’s been a learning and growing year for the both of us, but we’re still talking to each other, so [...]

Smokey is home and resting now. The surgery went fine, with no problems or side effects. He’s still a little groggy and will be mostly out of commission for the rest of the day, but I have a feeling he’ll be up and at it in no time. I got him some [...]

Well, I don’t know if he considers it big, but I’m taking Smokey, my cat, to the vet to get fixed tomorrow. Poor thing… This is almost gonna hurt me as much as him. I don’t want to imagine hurting him like that, but it’s gotta be done. I hope his [...]

Smokey made his first trip to the vet today. I’ve had him for about three months now, and since he grew up outside and didn’t get taken to the vet by his previous owner, I thought it was time to get him in for a checkup. Wow, Smokey’s awesome! He was on [...]

Okay, so being a pet owner isn’t exactly the easiest thing in the world! I didn’t really expect it to be easy, but it can be downright frustrating at times! I’m a neat, clean person to begin with, so having a cat that tracks litter and all sorts of other things all through [...]

As I mentioned
previously, I’ve been thinking about getting a cat. Well, I took the plunge today! Say hello to…er…my cat. I haven’t thought of a name yet, so if you have some ideas, pass ‘em along. Lori and I were thinking about Einstein (think Back to the Future), but I’m not [...]

Growing up with my parents, we always had some kind of animal around the house. Cats, rabbits, hermit crabs… Ever since I moved out on my own, I’ve thought about getting a pet, most likely a cat. I’m much more of a cat person than a dog person. Up until now, [...]
