A warning not to overfeed your cat

17 Aug

It just might eat you! My mom sent me this photo. It makes me laugh every time I look at it. It’s of a Maine Coon, the same breed as my cats, but obviously has a larger frame. My first thought when I saw it was, “This cat needs its own bed. No sharing.”

The Kitty Jungle

28 Jun

We sometimes (ahem) let our lawn grow a little long, maybe like our hair. A couple of years ago we noticed that our cat Peaches really enjoyed hiding in the tall grass so we decided to leave a little patch under the cherry tree, facing the street.    What a hit! She naps there, and [...]

This Just In …

My mom just called to share the latest family news and some funny tidbits emerged when she asked me to, “Guess what?” – My nephew is dating a goat tyer on his college’s rodeo team and wants to go to Las Vegas with her for spring break. The family has already checked out her profile [...]

What my cat would say to her psychiatrist: Part 1

23 Feb

Dr.:  So, why are you here Peaches? Can I call you Peaches? Peaches:  If I had another name I’d let you call me it. Can you believe that they gave me such a stupid name? How’d you like to be named after a fruit? How ’bout if I called you Dr. Apple, how would that be? [...]
