What Makes Me Laugh

When I arrived home from work last week Doug told me to “check the camera” for Cocoa’s daily adventure. High larious! I think the photos tell the story pretty well.

I’ve been thinking lately that Pavlov had a cat. Prior to his saliva-inducing, bell-ringing dog research, Pavlov’s cats were ringing his bell, making him get up in the middle of the night to tend to their every want and need and that’s what gave him the idea for his research in the first place (sixth [...]

I hate paying the bills. I’d much rather hide in the sock drawer. Or climb up to high places. Hunt in the snow… Or snuggle with my sister. It’s hard work paying the bills. It makes me sleepy. And a little grouchy. How ’bout you?

Frankly, I would rather have a root canal than take my cats to the vet. My cats would rather I have a root canal then go to the vet. They are not like my friend Leah’s dog who acts as if the vet’s office is the best doggy cocktail party he’s ever been to. Pant [...]

This clever clip of two cats having a minor verbal spat is hilarious. Enjoy!

    None of my neighbors has said anything, but I’m pretty sure they think I’m crazy. And I don’t really blame them. Imagine what you would think if you saw a woman walk out of her front door holding a pink camouflage leash with a cat attached to it. The cat bounds down the [...]

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? [...]
