A rare look into the other side of my life with Dan – sans leopard and the cat ears!

Many eons ago in an uncivilized world, I had another life. A life that involved cats, but only in the sense they were beloved household family members and I had a different job. A job that entailed executive administrative and marketing work, but it was long before AOL dialup was introduced to the mainstream public, emails, iPhones, Internet, Google, blogs, and Facebook. Thankfully I did live in a world with running water, electricity, cars, air conditioning, televisions, telephones with long black cords, and computers with the ability to create endless excel spreadsheets to save on what was called a “floppy disk,” or I don’t know how I would have survived under such archaic conditions…

I worked for a body armor manufacturer back then and it was also then that I met Dan for the first time in 1999. I happened to be married at the time and our relationship was strictly one of co-workers and I did not give it much thought other than that. Completely unrelated to Dan, I went through a divorce in 2003 and it was shortly after that time that we realized we had a great friendship developing and started dating. Eventually we became engaged, he moved in, 8 cats later, we have been an inseparable team ever since. Read more

Hi All! It’s Zee, Zoey, Mia, Peanut, Rolz, Harley, Mr. Jazz, and Kizmet here! Besides loving the fact that our human does all of the blogging for us and we kitties get all the credit, we also love a lot of other things and thought we would share our Top 10 List of what they are today. Now, please keep in mind that we love a lot of other things too, like biting human toes and staring at non-existent stuff on the ceiling to freak the humans out, but we had to narrow it down to 10 things or else we would be here all day, and, as it is, since it is WORDLESS WEDNESDAY, we are already pushing it (per usual, thanks to our ultra-wordy human). So, in no particular order, here it is: Read more

Is grass really greener on the other side? The truth of the matter is simple – maybe it isn’t. But then again, if you never decide to look, maybe it is. The choice or crossroads dilemma becomes how much you really want to find out and that is perhaps why I envy cats so much. Almost always, they want to know, consequences be damned. Read more

Muahahaha – do you ever think your cats have turned into Dr. Evil when they become possessive of a toy or treats? Much as my gang love one another and get along quite famously, when it comes to certain toys there is just no room for sharing. But, since it’s Wordless Wednesday, I’ll just let the pictures tell the story! What about your cats? Are they possessive of any particular toy or item in your house (that is besides your bed, your office chair, your lap, the kitchen counter, the dining room table, and your complete and full attention to them at all times)?

Rain, rain go away… Us kitties are missing the sunshine, so please come again some other day…

A lot of the country is experiencing record heat waves, but for us in South Florida, it is the everyday occurrence of rain. And not just rain, but the rain of perpetually dark days that begin early in the morning, cloaking the rush hour drive to work in a veil of gloom and doom that continues on into the rush hour drive home at night and starts all over again the next day. The plants and lakes appreciate the downfall, but after awhile it can wear on your nerves. Even us easy going kitties can feel the effects, after all, we do our best napping in a warm and wonderful sun puddle. But, being the troopers we are, we will persevere and dream of brighter days to come… Read more
