Last night, I had the fortuitous opportunity to witness something I don’t believe I have ever seen before. Murphy has had the sneezes lately. (I think he has a little cold – no eye or nose discharge – just a few sneezes and sleeping more than usual.) I was going to bed, and Murphy jumped…
I slept about 10 hours last night. Slept. I did not lie in bed wondering when I would fall asleep. Pretty much right after my head hit the pillow, I was off to dreamland. I did not wake up a bunch of times from hip or back pain, having to change positions. I slept. I…
We’ve had Murphy, our orange tabby for a few years now. He is as sweet now as the day we adopted him from Town Cats. We got him after our dear Oliver (big fluffy gray scaredy cat) passed away because Leo was clearly missing having someone to play with. I had decided I really wanted…
I don’t hate dogs. Some dogs, I actually like quite a bit. But I do not want to own a dog. My family had one dog. I don’t even remember what her name was. She was a stray, largish and her coat was blond. I firmly believe she was the basis of all the stupid…
First, cat puke happens. I know that. I accept that as part of being a cat owner. And for some reason, our cat Leo seems to take great joy in puking in the worst possible spot. Either where he can expect one of us to step (preferably with bare feet) or on the bed. I…
And you know what that means, right? It means that the weather is getting cooler and cats want to snuggle! No wonder I love the Fall! Our brown tabby, Leo, likes to get on the back of my chair and then climb over my shoulder so I can hold him. His usual trick is to…
Of all my babiest cats, Esperanza was the babiest. I was living in Silver Lake area of Los Angeles. I came home to discover that me and my roommate had a new kitten – a mostly white calico (just a few spots here and there of gray and tan). He had come home and heard…
Leo is known as the puke master in our house. He is a very clean cat. Not only does he keep himself very clean, he likes to clean Murphy too. That’s a lot of cat fur and too much cat fur makes any cat a little urpy. It makes Leo very urpy. He also gets…
My mother’s motto was You can write your name in the dust, just don’t put the date. I am my mother’s child. Recently I undertook the Herculean task of cleaning my personal Augean Stable – the area under my computer stand. We won’t discuss when was the last time I cleaned under there, besides my…
Leo is our brown tabby. We have had him since he was a kitten and we adopted him from Town Cats. Today, I wonder if they want him back. Like many cats, he has a fascination with places he is not allowed to go. Like the garage. He has made it a game of trying…
