It’s been another long and hectic week, but luckily I have had the help of my kitties along the way. Here are the pictures to prove it:

Thursday night is always grocery shopping night at our house. Jazmine takes her self-appointed job of inspecting the bags for treats very seriously. Being that I am a vegetarian, she is clearly not impressed with my salad stuff. But please don’t fret… yes… she got her treats! How else would I be able to get on with the night if I didn’t buy kitty treats!?

Friday was tax day and I had to prepare paperwork for the accountant. I turned my back for a quick second and the cats jumped in to help out!

Mia and Rolz help me with the clean laundry. By napping on the warm clothes, it prolongs the task at hand for me – putting everything away!

Zee knows how busy I am, so rather than me having to take all of the cat toys out of their storage baskets, Zee takes them out and puts them on the floor where they belong for me…

The cats help me enjoy the Valentine’s flowers I got last week from my son and his partner. How do they do that? By forcing me to put them (the flowers) behind closed doors where I go and visit them on occasion since the cats insist on trying to eat them which is dangerous…

How about you? Do your cats find ways to help you out? Bless their sweet little souls… I wouldn’t want it any other way!

Happy Caturday all!

Jazmine asks the question we’re all wondering…

Oh Jazmine…if only it were…It’s hard to believe that here it is, almost the end of February and over 68 million people are being affected by the ravages of winter. Or at least that’s what I think the number is – I heard Lester Holt say that on the news the other night, but being that he hasn’t had a day off since Brian Williams has been suspended, I’m not sure how clear his memory is either. But, in all fairness to both gentleman, I barely remember what I ate for dinner yesterday or what day of the week it is for that matter.

What I do know is that I’m pretty sure most of the country has had enough of the snow and is looking forward to clear roads and warmer days. Until that happens, enjoy this picture of my kitties snuggling on our favorite winter blanket, “Big Red” (yes, it even gets cold in Florida).

Zee, Kizmet, Mia, and Rolz keeping warm!

Happy Wednesday all!

And just like that – here it is, Super Bowl weekend. Before I get this post going, let me set the record straight for you. While I do watch football and enjoy it, I am by no means an expert on the sport. As a matter of fact, the only way I know if a team has done something good or bad is based on the tone of the voice of the announcer. In order to keep up with which team is winning, I have to look at the score posted on the top left side of my TV screen. And if the uniform colors of the teams playing one another are similar, I know even less about what is going on.

It’s not that I couldn’t learn the mechanics of the game, I probably could, I just prefer not to. I just beat to my own drum like that. I’ve been to actual games, I ran a football pool at work back in the day, and I’m always a loyal fan to wherever I live at the moment. Which means for the past 21 years, the Miami Dolphins have been disappointing me. Read more

Just like that, it’s already “National Answer Your Cat’s Question Day” and I must admit I’m a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing.  It’s not so much that I mind answering their questions, but I do have several cats – seven of them to be precise – and so that’s potentially a lot of questions to fit in between my full-time job, blogging, maintaining my household, and writing a book. But hey, I’m a good sport, so what’s one or two or seven questions among friends? I’m sure it won’t be that big a deal and hopefully we will all learn some invaluable information about cats based on the caliber of quality questions I am certain to be asked. So without further ado, here we go: Read more

Okay, so maybe it’s not completely cat related, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE squirrels and since it is NATIONAL SQUIRREL APPRECIATION DAY I felt the need to follow my heart and share a post on behalf of these nut loving, cute critters!! Read more
