It's the time of year where I live when static electricity due to the changing of the seasons and shedding combine to make a keyboard with a cat nearby a *magnet* for fur. Here's the hint. Rub a dryer fabric softener sheet over the keyboard. It actually picks up cat fur while leaving behind an...

Things stick to their fur. I had something made of styrofoam, it was packing material for something I received and I've repurposed it for years (before I adopted Buffy) as a sort of window shade behind my desk in the corner. This time of year. So the sun doesn't blind me. Unfortunately, it...

What is there to say? Cats love puddles of sunshine. This time of year where I live the sun shines into the living room early to mid-morning. This is where Buffy loves to play and then find a sunny spot to take a nap. On various pieces of furniture or on her (ancient, inherited from Persia)...

I just love these! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faYA_upR_a0 Jill

Yesterday, I had a plumber come out to unclog the master bathroom sinks and to remove the awful pop-up stoppers that are the cause of all the issues! Call me a luddite, I want rubber stoppers in the sink. Now, I never know how Buffy is going to react to people who come into the house. There...

I found s stash of bright orange whiffle balls (the size of golf balls) in a drawer. I tossed one out amongst all of Buffy's other toys. She's been having a blast bapping it around. Last night she meowed and made a racket after she'd bapped both a golf ball and the wiffle ball underneath the...

Dogs can't operate MRI machines, but catscan.

Well, someone apparently has fleas, and I guess that means we all do. I don't see any, but a follow up to Nipsy's ear surgery shows that he still has some issues, and the doc thinks it's probably fleas. Great. It's my fault. I did give them Frontline before letting the start to go outside, but...

Despite the number of times he's been threatened with strangulation/shooting/ having his balls removed with a blunt rusty knife (less effective a threat after the vet removed them) etc, Despite the trail of destruction in his long legged clumsy wake (he appears to have little control over his legs...

Wake up, everyone! This is adorable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rplCCSqWXIY&feature=em-subs_digest Jill

I guess I'm basically talking to myself here. Everyone else seems to have fled to Facebook. Sorry, not a fan. Anyway... I put away the holiday decorations, one of which was a red glass bowl on the table in the living room. Filled with fabric ornaments. I put the holiday cards on the table...

My PC suddenly developed a ~1 second beep, which I had to silence by muting the sound. I Googled 'one second beep, got really worried ! I suddenly realized that the sound is that what occurs when one of my two cats walks on the Keyboard. GER-ORF there I says! No I won't says the cat (She's a...

I want to thank everyone for the holiday cards and hope you made it through the season unscathed. :) Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! Jill & Buffy

Sometimes, Dot and Buster will sit hopefully next to the water bowl, apparently waiting for it to be refreshed or refilled. I'm sure you've seen your kitties do this too - it's important to keep hydrated, after all! When Dot and Buster ask for water bowl service, I'll typically ask them a bit...

Does anyone know how to contact him? He usually post every day on Facebook but hasn't posted in about 2 weeks. People that are on Mooch's page and follow Bob Catt on his facebook page are trying to find out if he is okay. Ann

You probably know there's a golf green behind my house so I don't have a large back yard area. This doesn't stop deer from wandering around between my yard and the golf course area. Lately they've been frequent visitors out back. They wander around nibbling on clover. Buffy pays little...

She didn't really freak out. But she did wonder, WTH? I got chilly last night so I pulled the bedspread halfway up. (It's usually folded down at the end of the bed.) She was startled. What's this? Something has changed. Oh dear, I don't think I like this. Sorry, Buffy. As much as I love...

From the viewpoint of a trio of cats as if they were TV journalists reporting on the people and events in their house http://www.breakingcatnews.com/

I had a fence put in my yard so I can let the cats out. Once the fence was complete (wood, 6' shadowbox) I had to line the top with chicken wire to keep the cats from just climibing out It isn't perfect - there is an Acadia Palm in near the fence and the cats could climb that and get over the...

When I was getting out of the shower yesterday, I heard a repeated, throaty "Owwwwwww". I wasn't concerned, as it sounded like what Buster occasionally does while patrolling the hallways. But then, I noticed that it was coming from where my desk was, which was odd, because that's one of Buster's...
