Have to drag Cricket in tonight.
He loves watching the bats come out at night.

Camper Cat

One of Cricket's in-frequent adventures is camping in Myrtle Beach.  He has developed quite a following and people often come to our camper just to see 'the cat'. 

We keep him on a leash for his own safety and the safety of the local wildlife :)

Tough day

After a busy day of chasing butterflies and watching birds, you just need a nap.

It's begins after much thought....

Finally decided to start this blog after thinking about it for almost a year.

We have a very unusual cat.  He is a Highland Lynx.  Part bobcat and part regular whatever.  His ears are curled, his tail is short, his back legs are big and long, his head is small in proportion and he is polydactyl (extra toes) which gives him big feet.  He was born that way.  We didn't have him modified with the exception of neutering him to calm him down.

He's more like a dog than any cat, which is good.  We don't really like cats (neither does he).  But we love Cricket!

He has his own dog, Kyree.  Kyree is an adopted Heinz 57 with strong border collie traits and Cricket's best buddy.

Cricket started life as Jiminy Cricket (like the Disney character), which became J. Cricket, which is now just Cricket.  His mother didn't like him due to his wild antics which continue to this day.  So with much reluctance, my husband's sister decided WE needed a cat.
