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.

I just mentioned earlier that I like to imitate animals. I wonder if there is a particular type of job search that could find me a job doing just that.

I have heard some of the sounds that are done for commercials, and they are too phony for words sometimes. When they have cat sounds on the commercials, our cats ignore it and go about their business. At least when I do cat sounds, they look and answer.

Does that make me weird? Maybe.

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.

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.

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.

Well, something new has happened. Our van might need a new wheel bearing on the front tire, and our station wagon needs a new serpentine belt.

Oh joy of joys. That was sarcasm folks.

We have ways to get around, but I really like the idea that we do not have to ask for a ride. At lest we didn’t need to for a while. The van has a flat tire on top of it all. If we fix the flat, we might be able to drive it a little, and slowly, until the car is fixed. Meanwhile, we wait for the monthly money to come in so we can get the car going again. It seems like if it wasn’t one thing, it would be something else. I know that life shouldn’t be one breakdown after another, but that is something that does not show up often.

I will not let it get me down, we have been in worse situations. We at least have a good place to live, friends that can help us, family that loves us, and 2 cats that show their love every day. We are not alone.

We live in a country that medical care available, food available, and transportation available. That is more than some have around. So, while life might get frustrating, it is life. It can change. We have hope. Meanwhile, I will grab one of our cats, hug and love in her, listen to her purr out of my good ear (that hasn’t gone quiet from this flue stuff), and thank God for what we do have.

Hello, my name is MUD.

I was walking and found a white cat paw under the arch of my foot. It was not planned, but it happened. If there is any critter on the face of the Earth that knows how to glare, a cat know how to glare.

I didn’t plan for it to happen, but it did. When I followed the offended fur purrson to apologize, the apology was ignored and she stayed as far from me as possible. I also feel like mud. Her paw is a whole lot smaller than my own clod-hopper (size 10). How do you apologize to a fur purrson when that purrson doesn’t understand English?

Well, I am just going to have to cringe and bear it until she decided to forgive me my trespass. I hope it isn’t long. In the past we have had cats that held grudges for a while. Waking up at night to find toes being chewed on definitely tells us that we did something wrong.

What’s this? I feel a soft white furry body rubbing on my shin. I am forgiven - YIPPEE.
