She has already been with us for two weeks and we are blessed to have her company for another two before she has to head back home to Boston. While it&#8217;s been wonderful having her around, not all is fun and games&#8230; I decided I may as well put her to work while she is here and take advantage of her many talents, one of which includes writing! That&#8217;s right&#8230; why should I write a Caturday post when I can get someone else to do it for me!! So, without\u00a0further\u00a0ado, please enjoy Jackie&#8217;s take on what it is like visiting the Zee and Zoey household!

No, this is the kitties house, and the guests happen to be the humans haha. As this is a guest post.. I should probably talk about all the kitties and the cat fur I get all over me, or how my allergies are always acting up (even though I have a cat at home! His name is Pussidon). \u00a0But my main focus today is on the lovely Jazmine, Kizmet, and Rolz. \u00a0They are the babies of the house and the main focus of my post this morning. Well Rolz isn&#8217;t one of the babies anymore, but he is still lovely!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13098\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/1-KizRolzJazmine.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13098\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13098\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #81aa55;\" alt=\"1-KizRolzJazmine\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/1-KizRolzJazmine.jpg\" width=\"460\" height=\"693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/1-KizRolzJazmine.jpg 460w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/1-KizRolzJazmine-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13098\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">No surprise &#8211; Jazmine, Kizmet, and Rolz are all hanging out in my room&#8230; This was before I came to visit and had to kick them out!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I have a few short stories to tell you guys of the cat world. So lets start from that first night. I flew in and got to the house around midnight that night, craving a roast beef sandwich after a tedious three-hour flight next to an annoying couple. So I go to make my sandwich\u2026 and I meet the one and only, Jazmine. I thought she was just a sweet kitten wanting some attention but was I wrong. All she wanted was some of my roast beef! I\u2019ve never had a cat eat out of my hand before, let alone even want table scraps. My cat won\u2019t even go near human food.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13099\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/4-7-12-14jaz.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13099\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13099\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #81aa55;\" alt=\"4-7-12-14jaz\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/4-7-12-14jaz.jpg\" width=\"460\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/4-7-12-14jaz.jpg 460w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/4-7-12-14jaz-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13099\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There is no doubt Jazmine is addicted to food, but at least she is willing to share if anyone cares to eat a fake mouse&#8230; Thank you Jazmine!<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_13100\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/5-bugwater.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13100\" class=\" wp-image-13100\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #81aa55;\" alt=\"5-bugwater\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/5-bugwater.jpeg\" width=\"150\" height=\"106\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13100\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Who doesn&#8217;t want a bug in their drink? Jazmine is such a thoughtful and considerate cat!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>That night, I realized how similar to a dog Jazmine\u00a0really is. She plays fetch like a dog would! When you take one of her toys and say \u201cReady Jazmine?\u201d then throw it, she runs and follows the toy with her eyes, grabs it and trots back to you with it and drops it in front of you wanting to continue the game. She is really the cutest cat ever! The next day I was having a turkey sandwich and Jazmine jumped onto the breakfast bar and took a bite right from the sandwich as I was taking a bite&#8230; She is so daring! But how could you say no to that sweet face? After she took the bite she ran away and a few short minutes later she jumps up and drops something in my drink.. What was it? Some type of fly or mosquito. Thank you for the &#8220;lovely&#8221; gift Jazmine!<\/p>\n<p>Another thing Jazmine\u00a0did that stuck out to me was how she jumped on the table while Deb and I were doing a 1000 piece puzzle of a leopard and Jazmine took a bunch of pieces and ran off with them and chewed them! How are we ever going to finish now?!?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13101\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/7-Puzzling.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13101\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13101\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #81aa55;\" alt=\"7-Puzzling\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/7-Puzzling.jpg\" width=\"460\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/7-Puzzling.jpg 460w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/7-Puzzling-300x163.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13101\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Getting some help putting our puzzle together from Rolz, Jazmine, and Mia.

As my dad says, &#8220;two peas in a pod&#8221;. Kizmet\u00a0is a very playful cat and he loves his silver-purple sparkly ball. Out of all the toys he can play with he chooses this little beaten up ball! One morning he jumped on the couch with me and he threw the ball at me (literally). So I threw it up in the air and he caught it with his bear paws and gave it back to me! I thought that was fascinating because all my cat does is sleep on the couch and get up to eat or scratch me haha&#8230; Kizmet kept giving me the ball back until he eventually lost it under the couch. Some times he is just too cute to handle!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13102\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2-8-2-14-aKizzy.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13102\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13102\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #81aa55;\" alt=\"2-8-2-14-aKizzy\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2-8-2-14-aKizzy.jpg\" width=\"460\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2-8-2-14-aKizzy.jpg 460w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/2-8-2-14-aKizzy-300x170.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13102\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We had to move the couch&#8230; again&#8230; because Kizmet needed help finding his favorite sparkly ball!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>My true buddy in the house is Rolz.

I think he misses the window in my room that lets in a lot of sunshine and is their view of the front yard with all the squirrels! I actually let him in my room for about 5 minutes and he went straight to the window after exploring my mess of a room.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13103\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/3-Rolz.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13103\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13103\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #81aa55;\" alt=\"3-Rolz\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/3-Rolz.jpg\" width=\"460\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/3-Rolz.jpg 460w, https:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/3-Rolz-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-13103\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yeah&#8230; thinks Rolz&#8230; I do love Jackie, but I sure do miss my squirrels.

When I pet him he dips down to the ground. When he is in the mood to be petted he lifts himself high off the ground and rubs his adorable face on my arm.
