They aren't happy.

Knowing How To Relax

I was watching JoJo, my cat today.  She knows how to relax.  I'm sure there is a lesson in there some where.

Here she is snuggling up with the dog.  I wish I had a dog to snuggle with!

Love it!

Favorite lines:  the volume of the cats, tuna is pretty much cocaine for cats, the art provided by the cats, cat yodeling, cat motivation problems...

My Cats Don't Do This

And I'm glad...but this video made me laugh.

Cats & Christmas

This is the kittens first Christmas (that I know of.)  They seem real fond of the Christmas tree.  The other night we caught JoJo "spinning" the tree.  One of them ate the beard of a Nutcracker doll and there have been a few "misplaced" ornaments...misplaced as in on the floor in a different room from the Christmas tree.  (I'm convinced that the dog did it.)

I bought all the animals a little snack for Christmas.  Of course, Jazzy was the one pawing her way through the bags smelling out the catnip.  At least they haven't tried to climb the tree yet.

Circle of Life

Okay, yet it's still a little gross.  I made this picture small for my more sensitive readers!

Showing'em Who's Boss!

Part of the family I live with is on vacation for a week.  This means I'm in charge of the zoo.  And when I mean zoo, I mean three cats and a dog. 

Now with five people in the family, all the animals seem to get enough attention and the burden of caring for all their peculiarities doesn't fall on any one person.  But with just one person in the house, well, I've been a little swamped by creatures demanding petting, food, and potty breaks.

So, I'm making some rules for the animals this week.  Why?  Because I'm the human, that's why.

CAT RULES:

Rule #1.  I set the wake up schedule.  3 am in not an appropriate time to meow in my ear wanting out.  Hold it or use the litter box.  BTW, I AM more stubborn than you, so the more you meow, the longer it's going to take me to move.

Rule #2.  There is a maximum limit of two cats on my lap at any one time.  I love you all, but I am not your human heating pad.

DOG RULES:

Rule #1.  My stuff is MY stuff.  No sniffing, licking or taking my stuff.  Do you really only want to eat socks all week long?

Rule #2.  Potty breaks will be quick and efficient.  Stop trying to eat the stuff the cats left.  That's THEIR stuff and it's gross.  (One of the reasons for rule #1.)

If everyone just follows these simple rules.  I'm sure we will have a great week.

You should definitely pray for me this week.

Fe Fi Fo Fum!

Since none of my friends blog, I have to tell you the funniest thing I said the other day (cuase if they did blog, for sure someone would have written about this!)  I had just finished petting one of my cats who was all stretched out on the couch (how can they get so LOOOONG?) and I said:

"I'm not sure that I would enjoy a giant petting my stomach while I was sleeping."

Think about it.  I don't think I would purr - I think I would scream.  I don't even like massages. 

Yes, sometimes I do find myself funny.

Where Have I Been?

You may have been asking this question. This answer is actually "what have I been doing?" Answer: painting. It's turned out to be a bigger job that I thought, but the room(s) are really coming together in a nice way. I plan to post a bit on the lessons I've learned, but not yet. (Still using every extra moment finishing the details: put up curtain rods and curtains today.)

Here are some pictures of Jo Jo "helping" paint the ceiling.
