Twelve Years Of Changes.

Today is our blogoversary! Our blog was started 12 years ago by our brother William. This was the first picture he ever posted.


William and Olivia on the Forbidden Table, 2004

Back then our family was just Mom, Eddie, William and Olivia. Then came me (Caroline), then Eddie flew to the Bridge, then Russell moved in, then PQ (Gracie). A few years later the Bridge called to Olivia, then PQ, then Russell. We tried to welcome Charlotte to our family but sadly we were unsuccessful. (Thankfully, she finally did find the best home for her.) Then Elliott came home, and then Ivan and Izzy joined us. And then William crossed the Bridge this year. Yes, we've had a lot of changes.


I am the last original

We've gained friends and lost friends, too. But we are grateful for every one. And so thank you for seeing us through all these years, the good and the bad. We love you all.

As for another change, we have decided to close Feline O' Mine at the end of this year. Since we make toys to order, we still have enough materials to send some your way. Quantities will be very limited, so be sure to visit before December 31!

  9. Happy Blogoversary, Kitties and Human! I never knew Eddie, but I have been lucky enough to be here for all the others. There have been a lot of sad goodbyes, but also many joyous hellos -- We've loved every one of you, especially, you know, that little Screamer Girl. We hope you had a good Christmas and look forward to a great 2017! XOXOXO P.S. Glad to hear Charlotte found the right home, too.

  18. 12 years - that's a long time! Congratulations!!

    We haven't been for a long time in the blogosphere, so we only got to know the "current cast". We hope you'll blog for another 12 years!
