So, she has been sitting outside the grille for many days now. But we all know that a PatioCat coming into Bunny’s Place is an act of…

  • Tabbies United and one Indy Jones

    It was a day for the tabbies… How many tabbies can you see? The tabbies in our home are generally very peaceful.

  • Ginger IS the new boss

    Ginger dictates how close Vincent can approach. That’s Heidi on Vincent’s table, so poor Vincent has nowhere to go. Ginger has mastered the art of “staring down”. Vincent gets it.

  • Who is the new alpha at the patio?

    As I’ve written a few days ago, hierarchy in the cat fraternity is fluid and subject to change. Vincent used to be the alpha, but he is defeated now. Ginger has been slowly rising to the pinnacle. And I think it has everything to do with how much attention we (the humans) give them. Humans’…
