LOST CONTACT

A little bit of a problem occurred the other day while Noir and Poe were playing out at San Francisco's Ocean Beach...

PLAYING FAVORITES

Otto and Noir were hanging out together doing nothing the other day...

Did I mention that right after Labor day was the first day of back to school school for the catkids? Probably not - it was kind of a busy week. Well, bright an early Tuesday morning it was time for Annabelle, Emily, Vinnie, Maurice, and Claude to head back to classes at La Petit Acadamie, and it was the first day of school ("Kittygarden") for Cloe, Nomi, and Otto...

Well, the catkids an Otto are gone for their first day of the school season. Wonder what is going on at Panda's house with the remaining kids?

THE EDUCATION OF NOIR: PART I

Summer was almost over and everyone, including Otto, was going to school except for Frannie, Zoe, Baby Nekojin, and our "super hero in training" Noir. She wasn't very happy about that...

JUST FUN

Sometimes at the Nekojins house or the house of Panda Papa, there is nothing really special or noteworthy going on...just fun.

IMAGINATION

Mr. & Mrs. Nekojin take great care in raising all their kids. They don't watch a lot of television, they don't have iPhones, computer time is very limited and controlled. Instead they read books, do art, play musical instruments, and...they have imagination! (From October, 2014)

FIRE DAY

One morning not too long ago, firetruck after firetruck raced by the Nekojins' house and Panda's house. It didn't take long for the catkids to come up with an idea.

SPENDING THE AFTERNOON IN PANDA PAPA'S GARDEN

Even though summer is nearly done and autumn is on its way, Vinnie, the Kappa, Titus Turdell, Otto, and even Noir can still enjoy a swim in Panda Papa's garden pool.

A TINY STORY

From December 2014

Being a superhero in San Francisco can be a lot of work and a lot of fun. There’s crime to prevent, evil doers to apprehend, and when things are quiet, there is always time to fly around the TransAmerica Pyramid and Coit Tower, or do aerobatic exhibitions for the tourists. And then, when the day is done, you get to go home to a nice meal and a warm bed.

Both Catman and Super Sumie have a very nice home indeed, located high up on Russian Hill next to the cable car line, with a view of Alcatraz and San Francisco Bay, dry food in a bowl all day and night, plus tuna or salmon, sometimes with bonito flakes, three times a day. There are lots of toys to play with and a soft warm bed to sleep in. However, in flying about the city, tiny Sumie had noticed that things were not always so pleasant for other people in the city. She became curious, as cats will do, and one day decided, without telling anyone, to pack a few of her belongings and then to head off on her own down to the Tenderloin District, where she might be able to find out about the “other side” of life.

As the sun set and it grew dark, it started to rain; and there she was —cold, wet. no friends, no food, and no place to go.

Sumie walked and walked until at last, she found a dry place to rest beside an old wooden shack in a dark, weed-filled alley. She took a rolled up blanket she had strapped to the top of the suitcase she had pulled around behind her all day, covered herself with it, hoping to fend off the cold, and then took out the one true friend she did have with her — her teddy bear.

There she sat for hour after hour, alone, cold, and afraid, until she fell asleep. Then Catman, who had never been very far off, and who had watched over her all day, picked her and her belongs up and took her home where he tucked her safely into her warm, soft bed.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who don’t have a Catman to watch over them, or to take them home to bed. A lot of folks have no home, no money, and no food —not even a teddy bear. On Christmas Day, we have a lot of things, things we often take for granted, to be thankful for. But what about the others? If you have the means, drop by your local food bank and make a donation, or if you have nothing else to do that day, you might consider volunteering some of your time at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter, to make Christmas just a little bit better for someone who doesn’t have much at all. There’s still time if you’d like to.
