The Kumkuat Korner

December 5 After coming back from California for the Thanksgiving holiday, and finally bringing back Charlie home with me, I was finally getting a chance to see what Billie Boo would do when confronted with the sad reality that I was already a kept human. I took Charlie for a walk about the apartment complex and came across Billie Boo. The first encounter and already Billy Boo was already drawing back realizing that there was a new furred friend through into our Feline Human friendship. Charlie was a bit weary of her since he has been burned by Feline Canine friendships. Most ending in him getting the bad end of the stick. Still I wanted this friendship to work. I called to Billie Boo and petted her then called to Charlie and petted him. I walked and Charlie followed. Billie Boo took a few minutes then followed. I was watching, trying to see if anyone would reach to eachother first. Billie Boo stopped and then turned to Charlie. Charlie looked at her as she stared at him. ...

October 26th Billie Boo and I have much progressed in our Feline Human relationship.

Some days she has much too planned on her schedule and she does not make an apearance and strangely my eyes wander around looking for her, obviously walking much slower to my apartment.

Being a cat that is well over 17 years old, I do as much as I can to make her food experience a joyful t...

October 6th 2019 So a few months ago I posted on Facebook about a neighborhood feral cat who didn't like anyone after its owner died. Since then, almost everyday, Billie Boo has been taking time out of her very important day to come and greet me. Today she did the craziest thing.  Normally in the morning on my way to my car to go to work, she hears me coming and meows to me good morning or walks me to the outside gate. This morning I came down, I hear her meowing and see she's on the second floor of the staircase on the ramparts next to mine which is weird because she never goes up any stairs. I wave tell her good morning and rush off to my car not thinking anything besides it's strange.  Later, coming back home from work Billie Boo is chilling inside the gate relaxing in some rocks. I locked my car and made my way to pet Billie Boo like I always do, then headed off to my apartment which is on the third floor. And guess which sassy feline decided to fol...
