Steve didn’t show up for breakfast on Saturday morning. Which worried the crap out of me because the last time Steve didn’t show up for food, he almost died and we spent $1400 at the vet. My heart sank. I was going to find him dead. I was going to go down into the basement…
So basically, if you threaten a cat with euthanasia? They get better. That’s what happened to Steve. One day at death’s door … Me checking in on him every two hours overnight as he was sequestered in our main floor bathroom. Him just lying there – near flat as a pancake and all glassy-eyed. And…
His name is Steve. He’s an orange tabby. Sure, exceptionally affectionate and purrs up a storm, but really your typical tom cat. If I were to put him up on Ebay, or Kijiji – what do you think he’d go for? Any guesses? $100? $500? How about $1000? This cat must have freakin’ gold in…
Lesley has chicks. Baby chicken-type chicks. In her house. Four adorable balls of feathery fluff. I can barely contain my “squeeeee” of joy within the confines of my head. I have picked them all up – pressed them against my cheek. They are fluffy yellow examples of the perfection of our universe. I just found…
You know how some people don’t want to go to the doctor because they just know it’s going to be bad news? We don’t want to put our extension ladder up to the roof for the same reason. In spite of the fact that our good neighbour Neil was pretty sure he saw a family…
It’s Rissa’s fault. She sent me a video, “Orangutan makes friend with dog.” Next thing you know, I’m using the You Tube taster’s menu down the right side of the page. Instead of exercising before work, I’m surfing You Tube – watching dozens of animals videos. I could have at least gone into work early,…
Every morning outside our door, the cats lie in wait. Pawing first. Then head-butting. Then heaving their shoulders into it. Chirping, meowing, then yowling follows. Lola’s the yowler. She yowls when Minuit growls then bites her. Minuit is NOT a morning cat. Steve, our dopey orange male, runs up and down the upstairs hallway any…
WARNING: This post is gross Me, averting my nose. Minuit, really pissed. My cat, Minuit, stinks. Really a lot. She has impacted anal glands. Probably on account of the fact that she’s so fat – something that happened when she developed her fear of people when we lived in New York for 6 months. When…
This morning, as I was stumbling to the bathroom in a near catatonic state – I noticed something in the hallway. I couldn’t quite make it out – I had yet to wipe the sleep from my eyes. In the dawn’s early light, the something was dark and lumpy. And possibly rodent-shaped. And I’m not…
From canitbesaturdaynow.com We have three cats. We have three boxes of kitty litter. You’d think that would mean that each cat would use its own box. You would be wrong. Two boxes are used for number one and one box is used for number two. Which means that one box is mostly dry with stinky…
