Welcome back!

I have seen our cats in action so many times that I would dearly love to be able to put it in video and then post it on-line.

I don’t have a camcorder, though. I guess that I would need to check out some camcorder reviews to get an idea just what would work for me. I have a digital camera, but it only takes still pictures. If I had enough skill on the computer, I could take a lot of pictures and then turn them all into a video. The only trouble with that is that the cats do not stand still when they are playing, climbing, and bouncing up into the air. A still camera just could not do their play any justice.

Right now our tap water STINKS !

It makes me want to use a garden pond filter, or something stronger to get the water tasting better. My husband needs to use bottled, or filtered water in order to drink plain water.

I tested our tap water one day and found that it is VERY hard water with a lot of minerals in it. Now, add the stink, and people can tell why I like to drink a lot of bottled diet sodas instead of water.

If you go to Belton, Texas, bring your own water right now. Usually it does not have an odor, but oh my aching nose. I can understand why our cats do not want to drink water at this time.

Our cats are brats sometimes.

One of them has decided that she want to be in one particular place. It does not matter if there is something there when she moves in, she just knock the item off of the table.

I realize that she should not do that. But she looks at me with a very innocent expression. Almost as if she is saying - did I do that?

Have you ever noticed how cats can have the most amazing facial expressions? If you have ever been glared at by a cat, you know what I mean.

Yes, the dreaded word, fleas.

We live in an apartment complex. Every 3 months or so the complex has an exterminator (not Arnold) come by and spray. Well he came by, sprayed, and now we have fleas.

We have lived here for 8 years and this is the first time that we have fleas. I wonder where they came from. One of our neighbors also has had the same thing happen. Maybe they came in from outside.

Flea spray, here we come. I hope that our cats do not hold long grudges. MEOW !

I believe that I have mentioned before that we have cats.

Well, one has a ‘cattitude’. In other words, she is a cat with attitude.

She has this thing about being ignored. She does not like it. When my husband is getting dressed in our bedroom, she will do various things to get his attention. Well, yesterday she decided that she did not like me ignoring her and she bit me. Right on the rump.

When I hollered about her doing this, my husband broke down laughing and told me that she does it to him all of the time. Amazing how such a little critter can have so many little things that she does. She does make us smile.

Well, maybe not totally. I just wish that someone else would have to vacuum it.

If we had floor tiles, all that we would need to do is sweep and mop once in a while. Spill would come up so much easier. Stains would not happen, and the floor would not stay soggy after a spill.

It sounds so simple doesn’t it? Well, we live in an apartment and are stuck with the carpet. HUMPH (No I am not a camel here)

I know that floor tiles come in a lot of different types and there are a lot of choices. Of course in the winter time, there is the matter of a possible chill to the feet. I don’t know. I am tired of having to vacuum. Besides, it is fun to watch the cats slide when they try to run fast on tile floors.

Sometimes I like surprises. Gifts are usually nice, too.

However, with cats in the house…….surprise can be almost anything.

The other night one of our cats kept bugging me and calling RANH, yes RANH, not meow, over and over again. I finally followed her to see what had her upset, and ended up getting slightly upset myself. She had evidently left a nice hairball on the covers of the bed and she wanted me to clean it up. For some reason, when these things occur, she want someone to know and clean it up so she cried out until we notice it. After that she is okay with it. Of course if you find the surprise by putting you hand in the middle of the cold, wet ’surprise’ you might not feel grateful at the time.

Later I feel grateful tht she notified one of us about the problem. Once my husband found a ‘gift’ in his western boot. Half of a small critter had been left for him to find with his toes. Well, I do not think I have ever seen that particular look on his face before. It was verrrrrrrry interesting. He can laugh about it now, but not then. I must say that pets do keep you on your toes when they are around. You never quite know what can happen next.

We have 2 cats.

For those who have been here before that is NOT news. One thing that I do have to say is that we also have ‘The Sandbox Kid’ in the house. She gets into the litter box and then - plays in the sand.

It does not feel too good to walk barefoot in the hallway with litter on the floor. If you ever want to see a fat broad do the 2 step rather quickly, spread littler when the lady is barefoot.

We now keep a broom stationed permanently in the hallway right near the littler box. This little kitty loves to play in it when the litter has not been used. I have no idea why, it just gets all over the floor. I guess a dustpan would also be good. OW

I believe that before I had mentioned that we have 2 cats….yes?

Did I also mention that one sat on the head of the other when the other was being very buggy?

Well, the sitter has decided to strike again. She wanted to sit near me and get some attention. I wanted to hold her higher and snuggle since she is very cuddly. Well, she decided that she was comfortable where she was and sat on my hand and wrist. Since she weighs nearly 10 pounds, my hand was rather weighed down..When I tried to life her, she pushed with her front legs and made herself heavier.

She sat on it again ! This time, it was my hand and wrist.

I confess. Having been going through some attacks of the allergies that abound here, I have been trying to get some sleep which gets missed when coughing, sneezing, wheezing….etc.

Yeah, sounds pleasant doesn’t it - NOT.

Benadryl only helps so far, the rest is up to my body. Did I hear a moment of silence there? I know that I did on this end. My husband has also gone through this collection of nasty things. He is kidnapping one of our cats and is going to sleep even as I type this article out. He likes to have a furry person sleep on his side. He says that the purr helps him to go to sleep easier. Works for me, too.

What is really fun is having an opinionated furry person sleeping on your if you need to turn over. Especially when she makes her displeasure known by chewing on toes to get you to stop moving. It does not work. The foot moves even more.
