I truly wish I had more time to gaze upon my sleeping cats. As Jane Pauley so accurately states, you absolutely cannot look at one without feeling the tension fade away from your stressful day…
Margaret Jane Pauley (born October 31, 1950 in Indianapolis, Indiana), better known as Jane Pauley, is an American television journalist, and has been involved in news reporting since 1975. She is best known for her 13-year tenure on NBC’s Today program, followed by 12 years as co-host of Dateline NBC, and for her public acknowledgements of her struggle with mental health and bipolar disorder. She is married to the Doonesbury cartoonist, Garry Trudeau, and they have three children. (Wikipedia)
There is nothing better than being part of something wonderful and exciting, but having someone else do all the hard work!! In this case, thank you to the incredibly talented Debbie Glovatsky and her cat Katie over at the Glorgirly site for coming up with the Real Housecats of the Blogosphere concept!! Zee and Zoey are thrilled to be part of the Season 2 cast and all I had to do was send over some glossy images of the furballs and the rest is history!
Zoey is acting like an insufferable Diva, meaning that nothing has changed with her since this eposide has aired and Zee remains true to form as well – as in, completely oblivious to the entire ordeal. Poor dear, maybe one day he will catch himself on reruns…
The kids, well, lets just say there is A LOT of explaining to do. It seems Mom and Dad have been doing some cat-clubbing at night when we were all under the impression they were taking night classes to learn about the finer techniques of furniture scratching and mouse pouncing. Not to mention, my credit card has charges on it that are all now starting to make sense… Glitter Box indeed!
Since I spend a significant amount of time social networking, I can’t help but notice there are A LOT of really creative cat names that I have seen on blogs, facebook, and twitter. Clearly, and rightly so, choosing a name for your cat is an event. Sometimes the process is almost instantaneous and a name will pop right into your head as immediately perfect and sometimes it can take weeks (or longer) to figure it out as you bond with your cat and try to get a feel for what name best suits the personality, or markings, or breed, or whatever… Read more
No matter where he is or the circumstances, there is just something about Zee that implies a certain regalness about him. Just what is he pondering with that fully reclined body and outstretched paw? Is it world peace, a cure for the common cold, or perhaps just him wondering when someone will feed him next or rub his belly. With him, one never really knows… Any ideas?

Flawed. No, not the book or the story, but people in general. Whether we care to admit it or not, it is the one thing as human beings that we all have in common. None of us are perfect and most of us have our share of hardships, realities, hurts, pains, bad choices, and mistakes that hopefully we can learn from to make us better people. Some of us prefer to keep those moments buried deep inside, private, and some of us will tell our story to a stranger in line at the grocery store. I happen to be one of those people who prefer to keep my life private, and so does Jackson Galaxy, cat behaviorist and author of “Cat Daddy – What the World’s Most Incorrigible Cat Taught Me About Life, Love, and Coming Clean.“ That being said, ironically, both of us have written books that not only share our lives with the world, but in Jackson’s case, every raw, exposed, unadulterated, honest, and unhinged moment that brought him to the apex of where he is today.
