Life With Cats

Beatin' the heat

nobody@vox.com(Life With Cats) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 10:10:59 -0700

Our apartment is pretty hot this summer. Since we only have maybe two months of hot weather per year, however, we can't justify spending hundreds of dollars on an air conditioner. So Tubbs has been spending a lot of time on the balcony lately....

Life With Cats (and Dogs)

nobody@vox.com(Life With Cats) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 03:19:48 -0700

Photos of the pets I encountered this weekend: This is Maddy. This pic is from my camera phone so the quality isn't so great. Maddy is the resident cat at Basket of Yarn. She's a small, friendly kitty who hangs out in her chair or near the d...

Three blocked squares

So I'm on my way with making this afghan. I'm not even close to following the pattern; it's more of a guideline. Yeah, that's it. ;-) And a picture of Buddy I took this morning. The groomers came yesterday to brush him out, clip his claws ...

... and a squinting cat. I woke her up and she wasn't too happy about it.

My cats' faces.

Convincing either cat to look at the camera while taking their picture is a real feat. I managed to get both of them today, so now y'all get to see their faces. Tubbs: Not a very good pic of Buddy, but you should expect bad photography from...

The Cat Tent

So Mike and I attended the Bluenose Cat Show at the Dartmouth Sportsplex on Saturday. Ironically the cats don't interest me (you can't pet them and they look bored to tears in their cages); we go for the vendors. Unfortunately there are never m...

Innocent? Not.

So some nights my kittehs just don't want me to sleep. Nighttime is playtime for Buddy. I'm used to going into the hallway around 4 a.m. and shooing him off of Tubbs a few times. That's usually the extent of it. But some nights (I should say ...

Welcome to my bathroom.

Tubbs does not drink from a dish. She does not drink from those fancy water-fountains-for-cats either (that was a waste of money). Nope, it has to be the sink. I can count on one hand the number of times in the past seven years she has drun...

Mealtimes, revisited

nobody@vox.com(Life With Cats) — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 15:08:07 -0700

So Tubbs has a new ritual for mealtimes: not eating. She has decided her diet food is no longer worthy. When I put her food down, she will not touch it. Instead I have to hold her back when I put down Buddy's food. She sits and waits for Budd...

Mealtimes

nobody@vox.com(Life With Cats) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 05:56:34 -0700

It’s rather difficult to describe the experience of feeding two insane cats at the same time twice a day; each day is a little bit different. Tubbs is perpetually on a diet, so she gets Hill’s r/d (reducing) wet food and seniors dry. Buddy, sti...
