The Young Adventure Cat

Buxton's first outdoors adventure was to the beach. He took to it like a true explorer!

His first time on the leash was a hike up the back side to the Pillboxes in Lanikai. His tail was a little puffier than usual, and he was gripping the rock pretty tight at the top, but he did so well!  And seemed to enjoy himself just fine.

Still Missing

-
Image
I am creating this whole blog, up until this post here, at the end of May / beginning of June, 2020. My cat, Buxton, has been missing since September 2019, from Tiny Tranquility tiny home park, on the central Oregon coast. While I know it is a long shot, I am still hoping, and posting, and searching. I have created this site to provide a few more pictures, a little bit of a history, and a current status: "still looking" or "found" (dead or alive).  If you think you may have seen him, or aren't sure, snap a picture and send it to me. Or better yet, take a lost cat you find to a vet or a pet shelter and get him scanned for a chip. Even if the cat is not my Bux, he still may be someone else's beloved and missing little buddy. Thank you!!

Oregon Trails and Tiny Living

Buxton and I had one solid winter and early spring in Oregon, before I had to head back to sea. We explored the Columbia River area... ...visited Portland... ...took the train to Seattle... ...took long walks on the beach.... ...and of course, just hung out in our tiny home. Learning to climb the ladder. Living in a tiny home could be a challenge for the Bux, and he got creative to keep himself entertained. However, while in our tiny home community, we were fortunate enough to find a friend who was also a cat lover. She wasn't quite settled enough to get her own cat,but was happy to look after the Bux while I was gone. It took the village to raise the Bux, but - minus a desire to roam beyond the constraints of a tiny home - it was a happy fit. And then, at the end of the summer, and two weeks before I was supposed to be home, I got a message that the Bux was missing - he was last seen early on Saturday, September 14, 2019. I took the next plane home (early) and posted and distribut...

Home #2 (My Amazing Adaptable Adventure Cat)

We had a home to move into way before we had any stuff, but the Bux and I adapted just fine. We managed to head out for a few local hikes... Add caption ...and even drove up for a longer hike to Piper Mountain. It was a little overwhelming at times, but curiosity won out. Can't say Bux was a huge fan of the cold, but there were views to enjoy... ...a human to hang out with... ...and plenty of places for climbing around inside. It was the year of the Indoor Adventure Cat. Birthdays... ...and Christmas... ...and even an occasional box in the mail, when someone was missing you. Visits to the office were a new adventure. Fortunately, there were a lot of cat-friendly folks around on the weekends, plus a few bugs to stay entertained with. Even the Bux's first time on a boat! All in all, lots of places to see, and the Bux was always up for a drive. Home was good. Although Bux picked up a odd few habitsthat made me wonder if he should spend more time around other  cats. Eventually, th...
