Yeah, that’s how far behind I am. But hey, I do have some pictures, so that’s a start, right?

There are SO MANY more, but there’s a limit to what I can get accomplished in one day. Maybe more tomorrow!

As the fall has shifted into winter, we officially have turned the heated cat bed back on, and cats have returned to piling on warm things.

GROWLTIGER was a Bravo Cat, who lived upon a barge;
In fact he was the roughest cat that ever roamed at large.
From Gravesend up to Oxford he pursued his evil aims,
Rejoicing in his title of, ‘The Terror of the Thames.’

(He has a little growing up to do before he can really be a Terror)

So many things have happened in the past *sigh* two months since I’ve updated this. I’m going to summarize and then start trying to go through the various and sundry pictures I have.

Parrots:

Strawberry is a boy bird, and is very happily living with Radish, and being red heads together.

Everyone else is still doing wonderfully, eating up a storm, ( Read more... )

This is going to be a shorter post simply because there’s just not that much research out there on the subject of parrots kept in isolation vs those kept with other members of their species.

The few pieces that are out there are pretty clear that social isolation is not good for Amazons and African greys (the two species that have been most ( Read more... )

As the previous posts on communal housing make pretty clear, I’m a big fan of having at least two parrots of each genus or species in my household, and if possible, housing them together.

When I brought home my first parrots, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. Around the same time, there was a beautiful movie released about the Wild Parrots of ( Read more... )

This is part 2 of a multi-part series. Part 1 is here. This post is significantly more personal observation based than the previous one.

If you own parrots, I have a challenge for you. I want you to try to find me an image of your parrot’s species in the wild. And then, I want you to find me an image of your parrot’s species in the wild alone ( ( Read more... )

Yeah, it’s been forever since I posted pictures again. This set will be all cat pictures, because there are so many.

As the title will hopefully show, this is the beginnings of a series of writings that will eventually be collated into a single page on the rational parrot page. However, I’m not currently in a mental or physical state to sit down and write it all at once, and I like the feedback, so I’m going to do blog posts first, refine my ideas, and then ( Read more... )

Sorry for the radio silence - I’ve got a post I’m working on but they’re not up yet. :) For the meantime though…

Please share widely - a 10 year old cat is often challenging to rehome, and the more people who pass this along, the more likely she can find her new people.

I have a friend who is looking to rehome his adult cat due to some life ( Read more... )

From the end of March to the end of April, I was at a cat show almost every weekend. During that time, the posting here fell to nothing, as you can see… but the pictures didn’t stop. This is going to be photo heavy, and by that I mean ‘brace yourself’.

Brief summary of how we ended the cat show year (which ends on April 30th):
