The noble senior feline

Julius is our senior resident feline. He turns 11 this year. We adopted him when we lived in Nova Scotia. He showed up at our back door one winter and never left. He thinks dogs are disgusting creatures who look better with bleeding muzzles!

Lately he has taken to visiting me in my office every morning.


He especially likes to perch on my printer. It's nice and warm!



"How handsome am I?"


 "Not to mention regal and noble!"




Of course the window is a great perch too. Especially with all those tasty-looking birds on the feeder outside!

  4. Ahab, once Sophie surprised Julius when he was asleep in my blue recycle box. He got upset. She got upset. He raked her muzzle with his claws and jumped up on my desk. Fortunately Sophie didn't try to kill him!

    He will always hiss at the dogs if they get too close. He used to "sucker punch" poor Tristan quite regularly but he seems to have figured out that Tristan is afraid of him, and now tends to ignore him.

  5. Jams, Julius thanks you profusely!

    C-D, it is definitely paradise to me. Peace and quiet, 86-acres, wildlife, occasional moo-ing off in the distance... :)

    Hard to resist if he turns up at your door. Magnificent. You should be honoured that he chose you.
