If you’ve noticed Quint and Tessa seem to be hanging out together often lately, you’re right. They are buddy-ing around a lot recently. There was a time when independent Danger Cat Tessa wouldn’t put up with anything like that. She’s becoming a softer, gentler, snuggle cat in her years (7 years old this year), but we wouldn’t testify to that in court. She still has a mean wild streak!

Please bear with us while Dad works hard to fix our house computer, our only computer, that had a catastrophic failure Wednesday evening, taking with it not one but both external hard drives where we kept all backups. In essence, we’ve lost everything. 7 years of cat blog posts, thousands of emails, comments and possibly photos, including Photoshop we use to create everything. Really, you have no idea what pains it took to add just this snippet of information to this post last night that was originally written three days ago.
Our weekend plan to get Autumn Quint paintings up for sale is, regrettably, on hold until further notice. Our deepest sorrow and apologies to everyone who’s been waiting so long.
Posts have been pre-written through the end of October. If we can’t fix this (we cannot afford a new computer at this point), we’ll be away until something gives.

Those are cute photos of them together.
I am sorry you have had such an awful computer failure. Can your files be retrieved from the external HD? I have scheduled back up to my ext. HD and also back up manually to flash drives.
If files can be lost from there during a computer failure I am going to keep mine disconnected and only reconnect when it tells me my back up is due.
I would be devastated to lose everything as you must be.
This will be difficult to recover from, but we are purring for you! Quint and Tessa must have some plans in mind for changing the balance in the household. We’re looking forward to Quint’s art whenever it happens.

I love seeing them together. And Quint, you are worth waiting for darling boy.
Maybe some of Quint’s good nature is rubbing off on Tessa. 🙂 We hope you get your computer woes figured out.
They are such sweet kitties. I am sorry about the computer and all that you lost. XO
Sending purrayers and POTP for your computer and files !
I hope your computer can be fixed. I’m so sorry this happened and am hoping for good things for the Colehaus family from here on.
Aww, it’s nice that Quint and Tessa are pal-ling around. 🙂
We’re so sorry to hear about your computer problems. We have our paws crossed that Dad can figure things out, soon.
XO
Egads, so sorry to hear about this computer incident!
Paws crossed that there may still be recovery of all lost items in the very near future!
