Christmas Means is one of my favorite posts of all time. Here you will see Marigold, who passed in January 2019, again, along with a new photo or two I have added. It’s good for a second look if you have seen it before, and if this is your first time here, welcome and enjoy! I can’t seem to improve on this post so I just keep putting it up.

Twelfth Blogversary. Did not think we would get this far. Of the four cats Opie, Zeke, Marigold, and Scooby, only the oldest–Opie–survived to today. Scooby and Zeke still only gone months. I’ll let Nicholas sit this post out. For twelve years these cats entertained you with their antics. They showed off their catio frequently as it was their favorite place to be. They wore funny hats and clothing, and played with lots of toys for amusement. It is sad for me to look at them as I loved them so much–maybe too much. For you oldtimers I present the Feline Cafe cats one more time for your enjoyment–Opie included.

The Three Plus One Remembered

The Three Plus One Remembered. Now the holidays are over there is not much going on. January is a bit of a bummer of a month eh guys? That’s why we fall for the “cats in cars getting coffee trick”–one day it may be true! We do our general routine: lying about mostly and sometimes going out in the catio for some grass if we are lucky. Opie hides in her room though she can come out if she wants to. The PC is in her room so she does get some company during the day or night. Dad’s doing his blog and listening to “Carmen”. La la la la la! Poor Opie! About this time in January 2019 Marigold died, so we remember her today as our featured photo. She was picked up by the Animal Police roaming the mean streets of Tacoma, and we adopted her. She was very smart and beautiful. We have not forgotten you.

Weird and Wonderful Flashbacks

Weird and Wonderful Flashbacks mostly from 2015. Sorry I’m late today. Anyway prepare to see: Cat under a Christmas tree, a spirit orb, a cat in a tunnel, a cat at the vet, a cat outside, a cat snacking on cheese, and a cat in a drawer!

Opie and Christmas trees — **Opie says don’t forget Christmas is coming! This doesn’t smell like a real tree.**

ghost orb — **My photo of a spirit orb–a deceased cat or my late wife checking up on me. My blogspot blog is deleted.** **Photo not retouched but cropped from a larger photograph.**

Opie in carrier — **Opie says: Oh no, it’s the VET!**

opie outside — **Opie outside for a supervised walkabout.** **The grill rusted away, the table rotted and the plant died.**

cat and crackers — **Angel Marigold helping herself to cheese crackers** **or perhaps an Elf!**

**Zeke on Memorial Day**. **Once again the blogspot blog is deleted.**

Happy 7th Blogversary to us here on WordPress. How the time flies by. I have done many different blogs many places but this is the only one left and the blog of longest duration.Thought I would throw a few photos up today both new and old, but first a little reminiscing. When this blog began here in 2013, there were three cats: Zeke, Opie, and Marigold. October 2015 Scooby joined the gang as the fourth.

Sadly in January 2019 Marigold died and we were back to three, so in the 7 year run here, she was the only casualty for which we are very thankful. Let’s look at some new and old photos through the years here today. If you remember the old ones, you are an old timer!
