She Bit Me !!

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Welcome back!

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. :)

I hate carpeting

Friday, October 30th, 2009

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. :)

Surprise Gifts

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

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.

Sandbox Kid

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

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

Sitting on it again

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

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.

OK, I’ve been sleeping

Monday, August 31st, 2009

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. :)

Oh Insrutable Kitty

Friday, August 7th, 2009

I am being watched.

There is a furry person who has been watching me, all without comment. I have made faces at her, she doe not respond. I talked to her, she doe not respond. I wonder if I am in trouble.

There is food in both food dishes. One is for wet food, the other for dry food. I know that it isn’t that. There is water in the water bowl. It isn’t that.

I wonder what it is that makes her stare at me? If you have ever been stared at by a cat - you know the feeling. Should i feel guilty? I don’t think that I’ve done something to deserve this.

Oh oh, she is on the move.

I now have a cat sitting on my stomach. I think she was bored, or thought that I was crazy. Oh well, the purr is nice. :)

Lighter Reading

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

My previous article was rather heavy, expecially concerning the title content.

Here is something of a lighter nature. Zoo Born Animals are something that can brighten a day. The different critters all over the world come in such a different array of sizes, shapes, colors, types, and species; it can sometimes be difficult to think on all that is contained on the face of the earth.

If you want something that can be light hearted, and cheery, check out this website that I have emntioned below. :)

Happy viewing !

Funny Talk

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

Have you ever been in a conversation, said something, and then realized that it really sounded bad or weird? If you haven’t done this, then you must not talk much at all.

Just yesterday I found myself saying.” I can’t get on the back of the couch, but you can.” Now that might seem like a strange thing to say since the title of this blog lets you know that I am not skinny. My cat wanted me to empty a chair that she has claimed and the only place to put the stuff was MY chair. She of course talked back. Don’t tell me that animals do not alk back, it happens all the time. Frontline news, animals also talk back, just like kids do. I have even heard the other cat we have mutter under her breath as she walks away from being told off about something. Kitty cat cussing would you believe. Amazing.

Hey, that is for the other cat !

Monday, June 1st, 2009

Yes, I have said that many times. Sometimes, pets can be just like kids in that they do not want to share toys, plates, people, pillows…..the list goes on.

Just yesterday, I found myself saying the title phrase to our youngest cat. She is 3, the older (much smaller) cat is 6, and very jealous. Well, I had put out some food for the both of them and found one eating some from both sides. I guess she was putting her mark on both. The other cat was asleep and didn’t see this happening.

With cats, dogs, what ever type of pet, you have some of the same kinks that can be found with siblings, but charges for going to college, though. At times, it can be hilarious.
