A Cat’s First Love In Winter…

Tiddo the cat loves lots of things. He loves me, and I love him…very, very much. He loves the good food, fresh water, and crunchy nibbles I amply supply. He loves watching out the window for birds and chipmunks. He loves his cozy nooks, and scratching his sharp claws into the furniture with abandon (even though that’s naughty)…

Tiddo loves his toys, and a good chew on his plush little duckie from time to time…remember demise of the duckie?

But in winter, as anyone who owns a cat is sure to know, there is one thing that is favored above all else…even above you, the kitty crunchies, and those playful toys with bells and strings…

It’s fondly called, the radiator. Particularly, that coveted spot on the floor just two inches away from the face of searing hot metal. While there, not even a pinch of cat nip could tempt a kitty away!

Happy winter folks! Stay warm, stay inspired! Love your pets, and spoil them often!

Demise of the Duckie…

Awww, Tiddo! You’re sitting so nice with your duckie! I have some things to do, but will be back soon.  The Cat Mom

Wait, wait lady! Where are you going? You’re not going to leave me alone, are you? The Duckie

Oh no, she’s left the room! Nice kitty, kitty…we’re friends, right? Shall we play cards? Chess? Watch cartoons? Color?

You’re such a quiet kitty, I hope there’s nothing dangerous on your mind?

Aaaaaahhhhh!!! Help!!! He’s got me!!! I’m flying in the air!

I’ve been flung and can’t get up, now I’m just a sitting duck! Tremble, tremble, tremble…

My family is plush, kitty. They’ll give you all the cat crunchies you want. Just don’t hurt me…

Oh please kitty, nice kitty! You don’t want to eat me! I bet you have a far tastier plate waiting for you in the kitchen…

img_2329

He’s got me pinned with his giant claws! This is the end! Please say goodbye to the flock for me…

He’s licking his chops! My days are over. Quack, quack…

img_2327

Whaaaa! EEEhhhhh!!! Noooooeeeewww!

Chomp, chomp, chomp…nom, nom, nom. Burp! Tiddo The Cat

The next day…Oh, Tiddo. I’m sorry to hear you say that your friend duckie ran away! I wonder why, when you are such a sweet and docile kitty. Well, here is a new friend for you! I’ll be back soon. You two have fun! The Cat Mom

A Basket Full of Kittens

This is 6 month old Sasha, and one very sweet kitten!IMG_1922.JPG

My folks have big hearts, this is the third kitty they’ve adopted recently and their home is filled with kitty play and joy. It definitely warms a home!

I love, love, love cats. We’ve had them all my life. After my folks lost their last cats to old age, they said they wouldn’t have any more. If you’ve had a pet, you know how much love you have for them; it is very difficult when they pass on.

Knowing that they wouldn’t be adopting any more, I was shocked to discover on one visit that they’d not just adopted one, but two young black cats, Midnight and Peanut.

And then on Christmas, this little one hops up on the table and I wondered how one of the other cats had lost so much weight? But then I immediately realized it wasn’t one of them at all, but rather a third addition.

I always say on Christmas, or my birthday, that I’d be happy to receive a basket full of kittens. If I ever become an eccentric old millionaire with a huge house and kitty sitters to help me attend to them all, I’d welcome a few baskets full. But for now, my Tiddo is the apple of my eye!

Though Sasha is welcome to come over for a play date!
