Gracie continues her study of fish, snails and aquatic plants

Gracie is a truly lovely cat. Her personality combines the best of ferals with a really loving house cat. You can only really enjoy both sides to her if you know her really well. Thanks to Joe, Angie, Evan, Biddy, and Duncan (another cat who passed away late last year) for giving Gracie a chance for a happy and long life.

 

Gracie looks after the aquarium

Gracie thinks the fish tank is a neat combination--it's warm, has 'running' water, and it contains fish!

She and Elvis continue to enjoy their new life in Erie, PA. Thanks to Joe, Angie and Evan for hosting them--oh, and Biddy too (one of the cats who has been in the same home for a lot longer than Elvis and Gracie).

The power of three!

The Dining Hall Troop (Ragi, her two sons, Orange Blossom, the orange tabby, and Caramel, the white and orange tabby) have the power of three to make food disappear. Another summer of 2009 photo. I am looking forward to spending time with the Dining Hall Troop once it gets warm and doesn't rain every day.

Caramel by tree last summer (summer 2009)

I hope by looking at these summer photos, winter will go away. Caramel is so handsome here.

Where is Ragi?

Right now she is in a shelter, taking refuge from what we all hope is the last snow storm of the winter. Spring weather is forecast for late this week anyway.

But can you find Ragi in this picture of abandoned bikes taken last summer? Calico makes for very good camouflage.

Gwen by the east gate of campus

Gwen is the last-born daughter of Ragi. She is really the youngest member of the original Dining Hall Troop, along with Gracie, another calico (although their relation to each other isn't clear to me).

She spent her first summer, fall and winter under the handicapped access ramp of the library, However, once the library was reconstructed, that space was lost to her. So she moved over to the far north-west end of campus. Poor Gwen, construction keeps disrupting her living space, since now just about that entire quarter of campus has undergone or is still undergoing reconstruction. It looks to be finished soon. She has survived in some shelters I put into a bicycle storage area just north of all the construction, and a kind gate guard has taken to feeding her everyday (I cover the duty on holidays).

Gwen is very shy. I keep thinking if I can coax her into the center of campus, she will learn to be friendlier because she will see how acquainted with humans her mother has become (I can now pet Ragi when it is feeding time). Perhaps I can do that this spring or summer.

Gwen is probably the most beautiful cat on campus. She has the really round, friendly-looking face of her mother (Ragi) and her Aunt Bootsie (who lives just due north, over by the tennis courts). Like her mother, she is a calico, but her calico coloring includes patches of striped grey.

I will try to get better photos of Gwen once the weather gets better. Right now she is a mostly nighttime cat, except when she comes out to get fed by the gate guard.
