I and Christine, my spouse of thirty years, live at our home in Chatham County, NC with our three cats and dog. I try to give Christine some privacy here while allowing myself to write about the intersection of our life together.
As our pets change more frequently, here are our current companions:
Edward is a cream ticked tabby, with coarse short hair. He joined us on 2008-07-01, and we think he is currently eighteen years old. He has always been a very large cat, and he's over 20 lbs. He has diabetes and, for over a year, we've been dosing him with seven units of insulin, 8 am and 8 pm. These days Edward spends most of his time on the bed sleeping. If he sees us in the back yard, he might come out to join us. He's begun to come into the living room a little more.
Luigi is a orange ticked tabby, with incredibly soft short guard hair and a plush undercoat. For some years now, he hasn't been grooming well, and the soft coat gets matted. Both Luigi and Edwards were strays in our neighborhood in the late 2007 and 2008 period. Luigi might be six months older than Edward. Luigi was adopted by our neighbor, and we got to know him well. When our neighbor was forced to move and couldn't find a place to live with him, we adopted him in 2015. Luigi is large, around 20 pounds. He has arthritis and Christine is giving him laser treatments several times a week. Luigi spends time with Edward in the bedroom, but also comes out to join us in the living room.
Marlowe is a blue ticked tabby, with soft short hair. She joined us on 2019-11-09 as a very young kitten. She's looking much more a cat these days, although she is so much smaller than the boy-os. She's approaching eight pounds. She's very active and busy, spending much time in the orchard, but very recently she's begun to be much more of a lap cat.
Carrie is a found hound who joined us in 2017-01-14 at about a year old. She has a primarily a black coat, with white ruff, stockings, and tail tip. Her ears and face are a warm brown. Her ruff is much more collie like, and so is her flagged tail, and when we have watched her with broider collies there's a strong resemblance. Mostly she is hound, with a strong chase and hunt instinct. She sleeps most of the day, but has restless periods when she is in and out and in and out of the house. In the late afternoon she's ready for us to play with her.
