Hey! Rolz, Peanut, and Mia here! If you don’t mind, could we please have your attention?

Yes, you heard us…If you don’t mind, could we please have your attention and direct your eyes to our blog post?! Thanks! Now please don’t think that we’re complaining, well, actually we are, but we don’t want you to think we’re being overly catty… Anyhow, we kind of have a bone to pick with everyone. Well, not everyone, but human Mom at the very least. I mean, we get it…Yeah… we have a new kitten in the house and she is cute. But seriously, enough is enough Mom. Almost every post since she came to live with us is Jazmine, Jazmine, Jazmine. What is this? The Brady Bunch? She gets to be Marsha and the rest of us are Jan…

We’re putting our paws down and asking for it to stop! Enough of Jazmine and enough of Jazmine with her perfect boyfriend, Kizmet. We are on picture overload of that cute crew and their touching love story… What about us? When we were younger, we were cute too! Just look at that picture of us in the window when we were about 2 months old – we were freakin’ adorable! And that’s not all – we’re hijacking the blog today to show you that not only were we cute as kittens, but we have grown up to be stunning cats! Take a look for yourself and please click the photos to make us bigger if you want…which we highly recommend, because we really are beautiful in our full glory! Read more

Wow… time to set the clocks forward already… I guess I should go and tell the cats so they can adjust their internal clocks as to when they wake me up in the morning and when they come looking for dinner in the evening.  I say that, but the truth is I don’t even have to tell them… They don’t miss a trick and seem to instinctively know when we change the clocks. Although I’m not so sure about Kizmet. As I have mentioned on numerous occasions, that boy beats to his own drummer. I better go and find him to tell him… Read more

Well, as many of you know, Caturday was quite a busy day at our house, what with conducting our own Cat-Olympics and all. If you missed all the non-stop action, click here to read the post in full – it’s quite a doozy and will leave you speechless!

As you can well imagine with such stellar performances, the cats are completely worn out and as a result, I present “Solice in Sunpuddles” for this Wordless Wednesday.

Oh,  and for any of you that might have thought the Cat-Olympics were rigged, I am reluctant to admit I found Zee on the floor with what he claims is just a harmless stuffed toy… but stuffed with what, I wonder?  Hmmm…. I just hope the media doesn’t catch on to this… Stay strong Zee… as they say, innocent until proven guilty… Read more

Win or lose, all my cats are Gold Medal winners in my eyes!

The 2014 Olympics will come to an end this Sunday and I have to admit I have not watched as much of the venue as I have in past years. Like much of the population, any ice-skating event was my favorite part of the competition, but this year my heart has not been into it. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been  distracted by other things or the simple fact that Dan and I have been binge watching the entire 5 seasons of the series Breaking Bad as a gift we got for Christmas… Anyhow, I realized not all is lost, as it just so happens my cats are also athletes and have been providing me with their own Olympic events to watch. Check it out…

Amazing… Rolz was having trouble during his paw-skating warm-up, but he lands perfectly on his feet after attempting a never seen before salchow, toe loop, twizzle, camel spin, triple-lutz jump combination that left the stunned crowd throwing flowers and dead mice at his feet…

Oh… what a disappointment to the favored U.S. Team that was so close to winning a Gold Medal in the Synchronized Standing Competition. Forgetting she was competing and distracted by the thought of dinner, Peanut sits down and ruins the moment for teammates, Mia, Zee, and Rolz in a split second.

It was a close call, but Rolz and Kizmet put aside personal differences regarding sharing the couch cushion to win a Bronze Medal in the “Forming a Perfect Cat Circle” Competition.

A stellar Gold Medal moment for Cat Team USA in the “Curling into a Ball” Competition – from the adorable matched team jackets to the way each cat has formed its body into a perfectly formed ball, this is one event that has left viewers in awe. If only we could tell them apart and wake them to let them know they won a medal…

Breaking all records, Zoey has won yet another Gold Medal for her ability to look gorgeous no matter what she is doing, in this case, balancing gracefully on top of a decorative lion statue. Bravo Zoey! Bravo!

Opting for a more subdued sport that requires no exercise or training, Harley excels in the “Starring into Space” Competition. You go girl!!

Those are just some of the Cat Olympics that have been going on at our house, but before we close the ceremony, I have one more event that I am privileged to share with you. Zee has been training for over 8 years for this competition and we finally were able to capture the moment in real-time. The photography is enthralling, but please be sure not to blink, or you might just miss something as Zee looks for a Gold Medal in the “Nap on the Hamper all Day Reverse Rotation” event. Shhh….

7:34 am – After sleeping all night, Zee gets up and has breakfast. He then comes into the bathroom to settle on the hamper for a much-needed nap. Look at his form – tail hanging, head tucked into his body… He’s off to a good start so far…

11:36 am. Zee remains completely oblivious to the world and has not moved an inch. He is really taking this competition seriously…

1:42 pm. Not a hair out of place or a single muscle twitch. This cat is amazing!

3:14 pm – Finally! What the crowd has been waiting for all afternoon! Will he be able to achieve the old switch and bait and reverse his napping pattern? It looks like he is really concentrating with his paw on his head like that….

3:15 pm. Yes! He did it! In an amazing display of athleticism, Zee has turned his body in the opposite direction and poses for the camera to let it all sink in… This boy WANTS gold…

5:06 pm. Completely relaxed with the Gold Medal a shoe in, Zee waits for his human to get off the computer and feed him dinner….

Wow, I don’t know about all of you, but I’m still reeling at the sheer scope of what Zee was able to achieve here today. What about your cats? Do they do anything that you would consider Olympic worthy?

It’s always a good idea to organize and prioritize your excuses for not being able to get stuff done for the day…

Excuses? When it comes to doing the laundry, making the bed, cooking dinner, vacuuming, ironing, grocery shopping, paying the bills, cleaning the house, dusting, and just about any other household chore, having an excuse why you CAN’T do it is the best! Even though I am just about one of the most organized, goal-oriented, driven, and go get-em type of people I know, I am also a huge procrastinator, especially when it comes to the above and I love nothing better than a good excuse not to do something. And that’s another reason why I LOVE cats so much, because they are just about the best guilt-free excuse on earth for not having to get things done – check it out to see what I mean (and please click on images to enlarge if you have trouble reading the messages!)
