I Only Love You for Your Greenies...

"Good Morning Mom!!"  I woke up to find Star purring on top of me.  "You looooove me, don't you mom?"  I grumble a wee bit, but who in their right mind can resist that much purring or that sweet a face??  "Okay Star, but just one."  Star bounces, "Thank you mommy!!!  nom nom nom"

"Mom?  Wake up mom!!  It's time for morning treats!!''

Now once a cat has had a treat, news spreads like wild fire.  Maybe they're broadcasting on the same secret  channel that they use to phone home to the alien planet from when they first same to earth   (Come on, don't tell me that you didn't realize that the feline companions, with whom they choose to bond have high intelligence, high empathy and so on.

 

ooooh coffee mug... which reminds me...I need my cup of coffee!!

 

Ah, the Changing of the Cat Guard...

There are days when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde go in and out via their cat door.  Then there are the Other Days.  Those are the days when they have to be let in and out the front door (rarely the back door).  This is known in our house as the Changing of the Cat Guard because normally as one goes out, another comes in.

"I'm thinking about coming in."

"Is there anyone there??  Hey!!   Come let me in!!"

"Hmmm, now that the door's open I don't think

I want to come in anymore."

"Can I come out??  I'd like to come out.

I know it's only been a minute since I came in

but I really really really want to come out!!"

"In!!  In!!  Quick!!  Timmy's in the well!!"

"Well, while the door's open, I might as well go in."

"Hmmm, now I'm not sure if I want to come in or not..."

See?  Changing of the Cat Guard.  Of course, Star is too much a Ninja to let us take pictures of him going in and out of the door.  ::grin::

Me-om! What are you doing to my bed?!

Everyone who lives with cats knows how much they lurv laundry baskets, regardless of whether the clothes are clean or dirty.  Now this poses a problem either way.  If the clothes are dirty, it makes it difficult to pull out the clothes to put them in the washer.  If the clothes are clean ("mmmmmmm, Me-om!  How can we resist nice warm clothes??"), then you can't get them put up.  Depending on how long your feline companions have been in the laundry, you may have to wash the clothes all over again.  This happens a lot with my daughter.

While all of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde love clean laundry as well as empty baskets, the two who love laundry baskets the most are Mister Kitten and Zaphoid Beeblebrox.  In fact, if there are any baskets where they can get to them beware!!  Mister Kitten and Zaphy will be there!!  We have to work fast to get our clothes put up.  Unfortunately we're often not able to do that.  Our solution is to throw a piece of laundry that will cover the rest of the laundry.  That way we'll only have one piece of laundry to rewash rather than the entire load.

"Hey mom!  I adore this new cat bed you got for me!"

Now because I've had soooo many feline companions over the years who enjoyed sleeping in clothes baskets it's no surprise that I ended up going a bit nuts... ummm I mean, drawing a ton... ahhhhh I mean having fun making a lot of items for the CafePress store.

There are the bumper stickers...

and then the one where you can get t-shirts, Sigg bottles, mouse pads, yada yada yada...
