Here I am just lazing in this rocker soaking up some rays. Life is Good. Now…if only these guests would just leave me alone so I can take my afternoon nap.

Some of our regular guests have inquired about the stray cat which showed up at the Inn several months ago which we named Squirt due to her thin and underweight appearance. Our previous blog entitled “Adopted” gave the basics of her adoption by a nice family here in Atlanta. Well, she is definately female and is happy in her new home and is gaining weight. She has been to the vet and is in great shape. She plays with bunches of toys, loves treats and pretty much has the run of the house. Her new name is “Poppy”. She is making a great pet for this family!!

As promised, “Moose” the Innkitty has made a “guest” appearance for the Holidays. Could he possibly be looking out the window to spy Santa, or is he looking in? Is this photo an optical illusion or is Moose the resident ghost innkitty? Go figure!

Anyway, he does enjoy the Christmas Season and especially lounging around the decorated tree and sniffing for his special gift. Catnip, anyone???Moose_photos_009

Cats_001NEWS FLASH !!! No, you’re not seeing a repeat of the post a few days ago. GOOD NEWS…”Squirt” has been adopted! The kitty who showed up at the Inn was adopted today. The proud parents and daughter live here in Atlanta. They have a large house and will give this kitten the love and care she (?) deserves. A Happy ending indeed.

Hi! My name is “squirt” and I mysteriously showed up at the Inn about a month ago. I was really hungry and exhausted at the time but the Innkeepers have been really good to me. Today, in addition to my regular kitty food, I was given some canned tuna which I promptly whoofed down. I’m just a little shy but looking for a special owner who can give me an indoor home. I would make a great inside kitty for someone out there who needs my attention. Just look at me…all black with just a hint of white under my chin and did I mention my yellow eyes?

The Innkeepers would like to adopt me but they already have a cat named “Moose” who stays inside the Inn. They are afraid that should I remain outside, I might get runover by a car or attacked by a dog. So…would someone out there like to adopt me? If so, please contact the innkeepers for more info. I promise, I’ll make a great indoor kitty.

My name is “Moose” and I’m the resident Innkitty. I got my name because I had such large paws when I was a kitten. I guess it’s better to be a cat named Moose than a moose named Cat! My adopted Innkeeper parents rescued me from a cage three years ago and I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. Although I’m not allowed inside guestrooms, I have free roam of all the public spaces in the Inn…wow!! This place is a palace.

Moose_photos_004My typical day starts late as I prefer to sleep in later than most guests and the Innkeepers. Following a leisurely breakfast, I routinely lounge around following sunspots throughout the Inn, napping occassionally. However, when the doorbell rings and guests and luggage appear, I like to introduce myself and then escort the new arrivals to their rooms. It seems almost everyone at the Inn can’t resist petting me and playing catgames with me. Sometimes they will bring me treats and goodies and I will reward them with headbutts and allow bellyrubs.

MooseCommercial photographers always pester me and make me pose for photos. What’s up with them? Haven’t they ever seen a cat before? Oh well, I’ll gladly pose for treats ’cause I’m food motivated. I really like to gaze out the Inn’s front beveled plate glass windows as I can see the guests walking up the walkway to check-in. I can also see the guests relaxing on the rear veranda by looking thru the round, beveled window in the stairwell.

Oh well, life is good and I feel a nap coming soon…so, for now, I’ll sign off but expect to hear from me again during the Holiday Season…
