A cat makes it seem so simple to sleep in an upright position…but like Zoey here, don’t think just because my eyes are closed that I’m asleep! At least not while I’m on the couch in an uncomfortable position!

As many of you know, l had emergency laser surgery to repair a tear in my left retina on Friday, January 5. It’s been a scary ordeal – I still have significant blurriness and floaters in my eye, which make it quite hard to see much of anything. I was also given doctor’s orders to sleep sitting up, which I have to say is nearly impossible. Read more

While the piecework I was helping with for our military contract was very laborious and exhausting, the doctor said it did not cause my eye condition. It’s something that is more common as we age, in my case, it was more severe than for others.

We’ve got a big military contract due where I work with a tight deadline of January 9th to complete the project looming in front of me. I’ve been working extremely long hours, assisting with quite heavy and laborious piecework to help out and when I get home I’ve been exhausted. That’s why when I started to experience some blurred vision, I attributed it to being tired. Read more

Is it true? Christmas is here?

Yes Rolz, it’s true. Christmas is finally here. It’s that special time of year again – a time to reflect, a time to celebrate, and a time to give thanks for the blessings in life. Whether you celebrate Christmas like I do, or you don’t, my wish for you is to be grateful for the good you have in your life. Despite all the hoopla of the gifts, the incessant commercialism, and the tendency to get caught up in the whirlwind of stress, it’s truly not about the presents, but the presence of love, inner-peace, and joy in your life.

It’s all about the presence, not the presents…

For some it’s being around friends and family, for others, it might be the comfort and companionship of a furry friend. It might be something simple like baking cookies, or maybe it’s giving to others without expecting anything in return. It’s not always an easy time of year for everyone and I respect that as well. I’m humbled to say I’m very blessed this year- I’ll be spending the day with my furry family, as well as my Mom, Dan, and both my boys. 

My greatest wish would be for peace on earth and goodwill to all…

If I’m not able to visit each and every one of you to wish you holiday greetings, please know you are in my thoughts and I appreciate your friendship. Happy Holidays from all of us at Zee and Zoey’s and warm wishes for a Meowy Catmas and Happy New Year!

From all of us at Zee & Zoey’s – a very Merry Catmas to one and all!

Mia is settling in nice and comfortable to wait for Santa to come…or dinner…whichever comes first…

We’re not quite sure how it happened, but Christmas is only 8 days away! There’s still so much to get done, but we wanted to take a brief break to share a sweet selfie of Mia patiently waiting for Santa! Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

Never mind if I’ve been naughty or nice…it’s more like, have you taken into account my feline instincts BEFORE you judge me?

It’s officially the holidays – a time when one is frequently asked whether they’ve been naughty or nice, suggesting perhaps that if they’re naughty, Santa might not bring them a gift. When it comes to our cats, it’s not so much whether they’ve been naughty or nice; it’s how the holidays actually affect their instinctual behavior, sometimes causing them to be unintentionally naughty when they’re typically otherwise nice.
