Hey, I was wondering if you love to chase stuff as much as I do?
I love this laser dot mouse:
Spotbrites Laser Toy W/Realistic Mouse Squeak Snd
I chase this dot all around and act like a little kitten
again. Since I can’t hear, the squeak is lost on me, but
Angel and Hulk like to add the squeak so they feel like I’m getting my
meow’s worth out of it.
This laser dot can keep my interest for a good half hour -
when I feel like it.
It’s good for me too! Chasing the dot around helps
to keep my muscles strong and supple and my reflexes sharp.
I do know that even if I don’t want to play, the first sight
of the dot will make my pupils expand and my eyes go big - hey
it’s the hunter in me!
Ask for one for Xmas – they are too cool (plus they’re on SALE)!
Cats Rule!
I’d like for Angel to stop hugging and kissing me so much. I hate all that mushy stuff. If I’m in the same room as her, that should be indication enough that I’m affectionate.
There is no earthly reason for all that slobbering on my freshly licked fur.
Do your people pester you like that? I’ve tried hissing and growling, but she just doesn’t get the idea that I want to be left alone.
I want to be left alone!
Hulk on the other hand is very good about letting me be.
He doesn’t see the need to always be petting me and touching me, and he leaves my fur with that “just licked” look.
No over-brushing from him.
How do you let your people know that enough is enough already?
Cats Rule!
It’s the last day of November and they finally turned on my “god” – the pellet stove. They bought this right after I graced their home with my presence.

My bed sits right in front of the pellet stove (in the winter time, at least) and I truly LOVE to sit or lay here and soak up all the heat.
This is where I pay homage to the pellet stove god and thank him daily for this soft warm heat.
Angel likes to brush me in front of the stove as well – so I doubly love it.
Sometimes (if Hulk isn’t watching) she’ll even give me some treats right on my bed.
Because she has pretty severe asthma, we can’t have a fireplace in the house, and a pellet stove is the next best thing – without the smoke and dust!
I was born to lay here and snooze in this nice heat. Gotta’ go take a cat nap now…
Cats Rule!
How do you wake up your people in the morning?
Today, Angel slept late. And I was hungry!
So, to facilitate matters, I had to act quickly and loudly. I raced (like a herd of elephants) up the stairs and stopped just outside their bedroom.
A really loud, long and mournful meow was enough to rouse her. Then I had to wait until the morning ritual was done in the bathroom.
FINALLY, she came into the kitchen and opened a fresh can of catfood (Turkey and Giblets – mmm!) and gave me a splash of Reddi-Whip (I always eat dessert first – my cardinal rule when it comes to dining!)
I sniffed the food , took a lick of the Reddi-Whip and flounced to my antique window seat (purchased just for me at an antique store) and did the slow clean/lick of my paws – to show her that I didn’t like to be kept waiting. (It never pays to let the fur-less creatures know that you are desperate!)
How do you wake your people when they oversleep?
Write me and let me know – I’m very interested. Perhaps one of your tricks will work better in the future…
Cats Rule!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Remember to give thanks for all you have:
- toys to play with
- food to eat
- treats to snack on
- blankets to lay on and hide under
- brushes to make our coats smooth
- bed to lay in
- carriers to get us to our doctors appointments
- loving people to pet you and snuggle with
- other pets to terrorize
- a warm roof over your head
- bugs to chase and tasty grass to chew
- the smell of field mice on a nice warm day
- the birds that flock around the feeders
- even the neighborhood dogs who walk past on a leash
- and espcially for our boys and girls in the military who are fighting for our people’s freedoms (both past and present!)
Bless us all this day!
