This post is about my first and only black cat that was given to me from my second son and his wife. Norie had to be euthanized December 15, 2025 due to painful arthritis in her lower spine. I miss her still. The lengthy isolating stay in my home during “the Covid era” was made … More Life With Norie
Hello, I am Norie, an intelligent, black pantherette. Please indulge me a few moments of your time. I have decided that some cat owners need more education on which toys some of us cats truly enjoy. I do realize that every cat is different. During my life I’ve made some observations that may help the humans … More Little Panther’s Opinions on Cat Toys
This happened several years ago but I thought that other cat lovers would understand. Norie, my black cat, loves to play, observe, go out on the screened in porch and stalk birds as they peck around looking for food safely beyond her reach. Sister, my second cat of a different personality, preferred to sit in … More Warm Kitty, Soft Kitty
I am very thankful for the companionship of my cat, Norie. This black cat is one of the joys of my life. She is a source of laughter, companionship, amazement, challenge, and life lessons. Norie trusts me implicitly. She knows I would not hurt her on purpose. I have stepped on her paws or tail … More Thankful for My Cat
I am retired, over 70, and an extrovert who enjoys being around people. But after Covid started I was more careful about who I was with. I ate out or visited with my close friends. So my entertainment included: calling friends; little things to do around my home; donating things I didn’t need; keeping records … More My Entertaining Cat
My two cats bring/brought so much joy to my life that I wrote this poem about them. (Sister passed away December 31, 2018.) I have two cats who are great company, Grey tabby, Sister; and Norie, whose ebony. Their relationship has a fragile concordance, Which tries my mind over feline behavior tolerance.As much as they … More My Two Cats
Norie is my sixteen year old black cat. She is mischievous, funny, a huntress of bugs and anything that looks like one. Here she is as a kitten.

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
Norie, my black cat, loves to be involved when I am doing anything around the home. Changing the covers on the bed has always been a favorite with her. 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!
