I want to share a tribute to two elderly neighbors, Alice and Walt, in Fuquay-Varina. They were like the parents to some of their younger neighbors. Walt passed away several years ago; I was sad for our loss but happy for him to be with God in heaven. He loved his dear wife Alice and … More I Miss Walt and Alice
Hi, I am Norie, a pantherette. We pantherettes are solitary intelligent animals. Although, when shown the luxuries of living with a human, some of us agree to live with them. I wouldn’t be so smart if I turned down free food, a place of privacy to take care of my body processes and the the … More My Life as a Little Panther
We’ve all seen cats grooming themselves. They lick their fur from head to tail. While they are grooming themselves the barbs on their tongues catch every bit of lint, loose hair, dust or dirt particles, every minuscule piece of dead or alive matter, litter dust that was caught on their coats and claws, then, what … More Bizarre Feline Eating Habits!
I know I talk about my black cat, Norie often but I have to brag on how smart she is. I feed Norie 1/2 can of cat food 3 times a day. At night I give her dry food as part of her weight loss program. Through the day she will eat some of the … More One Smart Cat

Here are some pictures showing how we work together like a team(?). Well at least we have fun. When the bottom sheet is tucked in, Norie … More This is the Way We Make Our Bed
I may have written previously about how Norie protects me from bugs. Being on the ground floor and with a door to the porch, screened in though it is, sometimes bugs will crawl in and go around the edges of the living room and end up anywhere inside. Norie loves to come running when I … More Norie, the Bug Zapper!
Nori, her original name, became Norie, from the Japanese word “Nori,” the black algae used to wrap sushi. I added an “e” because my last name is Estes. I am one of the growing number of people who admire and love black cats. (I love all cats but am partial to black ones). Nori belonged … More A Black Cat With Personality!
Have you seen the video of a woman exercising with her cats? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBAdYAUYtnk So clever. The cats sit quietly and unobtrusively, just keeping her company. Well, let me show you some pictures of how my exercises went with my cat, Norie. One problem is that Norie loves to scratch the rubber mats. The problems began … More Exercising With Norie
I am frequently amused by my cat, Norie’s rather prejudicial opinions of the toys, that I’ve bought for her. Because she is a pretty smart, slightly chubby cat, I aimed for mentally and physically challenging toys. Unfortunately, I have failed multiple times to engage her interest after a brief period of peaking her curiosity. The … More Norie and Toys
