So Long Summer

The realization that summer has come to its ultimate end has hit home for yours truly.

As with each season in our neck of the woods, these changes bring with them their own purro’s and cons.

Here are a few from my feline perspective:

Cons (because I’m a natural pessimist) : The birdies are flocking to their winter […]

Back to School

Perhaps unsurpurrisingly, summer has flown by once again this year and in some fashion, the kiddos are gearing up to go back to school.

I’ve purrsonally been home schooled my entire life. Obviously, I don’t do well with transpurrtation of any kind let alone the public variety, and the thought of riding a ginormous yellow rig […]

Wicker Baskets

As we are all painfully aware of by now, my mother is a bit “cat crazy”. However, what most of you furrnatics might not know is that she’s also a certified neat freak. Fur example, recently my mother proclaimed that my kid sister had “outgrown” the toy baskets in her room (is this even a […]

Staying Cactive

It’s been a tough transition –trying to become more cactive, but I’m doing my best. Of course, I’m still purracticing yoga, purrpoper back stretches, and running up and down the stair master, but I’ve been also playing with some of my old toys again.

Big surpurrise: my catnip mousy is still my favfurrite!

This past week I’ve […]

Ovfurr The Hill

I would like to take a moment and thank evfurryone fur the purrthday love.

You sure do know how to make this handsome-pants feel special.

I’ve recently come to the sobering realization that I’m officially ovfurr the hill. In order to keep myself in the best shape possible, live a long, healthy life (and keep up with […]

Purrthdays

Raise your paw if your purrthday is in August!

There are so many August purrthdays in my family, not including my own. Both of my Grandmothers’ purrthdays are back- to-back; August 6th and 7th respectfully. I have a couple Aunts with purrthdays too, and, not to be outdone, my kid sister just turned two years old […]

Dinosaurs

There are many purrks to summer.

Basking in the sun that shines through the window, watching my family play in the kitty pool, and the scent of the furresh outdoors on evfurryones clothes.

Ah! But of course with the good, comes the bad.

My purrents tell folks that I am the very definition of a “scaredy-cat”, and I […]

Unpawlievable!

Shortly after last week’s post, the unimaginable, unthinkable, most devastating thing happened.

As I made my daily venture to the fridge and meowed in my usual polite manner in order to obtain my favorite turkey treat, I was instead given — CHICKEN!

Un-paw-lievable!

In all my cat years, this kind of atrocity has nevfurr happened befurr.

You see, […]

Snuggle Man

One should never doubt the feline instinct.

Evfurry evening, after my mother has finished her fussy routine of tidying up the house, she attempts to sneak ovfurr to the couch and interrupt my ever-so-peaceful “befurr bed” cat nap in the hopes that I will suddenly become her “snuggle man.” She asks this of me in her […]

Safety Furrst

Nearly evfurryday, the mailman shows up on our doorstep like clockwork and leaves behind a variety of undisclosed treasures (you guessed it; my mother is a contributing member of something called Amazon Prime). Yesterday it was a gigantic box, which admittedly, made me  supurr excited.

Like a kid on Christmas morning (purrpobably because she furrgot what […]
