Do I Amuse You my Furry Frenemy?

You (usually)act like you love me, rollie pollie girl kitty, but yet you watched me step out of my fluffy slippers and then barefoot straight into a pile of kitty cat upchuck right beside the bed today.  I don't know if it belonged to you or to the boy cat and I couldn't read your expression but I could tell that you were rather intrigued,watching me scrub my foot, then sniffing it as if to ask "What's that smell?" and then you happily sat....fully engrossed and looking very pleased as you watched me scrub the mess off the floor.  You coulda warned me. Thanks...

Give Your Outdoor Cat a Key to Your House with a Microchip Cat Flap

We regularly look for innovative cat products. Here’s one we found interesting:

A microchip cat flap by http://www.sureflap.co.uk/.

What is it?

If you have outdoor cats (mine prefer to just stare longingly out the window from a comfy chair), a cat door might be something you’re considering. Some people are a bit nervous about installing cat flaps because of what else might enter the house (other animals, neighbourhood cats, and so on…).  The SureFlap microchip cat flap detects a microchipped cat’s chip and unlocks the door for your cat(s) only.  It opens as soon as your cat puts his or her head in the doorway and locks immediately after the cat has entered the door.

Some Fast facts about the microchip cat flap: 

        

The system can store up to 32 microchip numbers so it’s even suitable for the crazy cat lady! I’m told that once you have 3 cats, that qualifies you. Thankfully, I only have 2. So far…)

• ·         You can mount it on a door, wall, or on glass

• ·         It’s easy to install

• ·         You can install it in place of an existing cat door

• ·         It takes just a few minutes to program

• ·         It is battery operated and batteries last about a year (you might choose to change batteries in it whenever you change your smoke detector batteries)

• ·         Sureflap offers a 2 year warranty

• ·         You can purchase tunnel extenders if you are installing in more than a standard door or window.

Cat Drops Socks Throughout the House

Dear Girl Kitty,
Why for you drop socks all over the house and make funny yowl when you do it? Are you showing me your indoor cat hunting skills? Are you sad that you can't have baby kitties so are carrying imaginary ones?   Sometimes it's clean socks, sometimes it's dirty ones. Does it upset you when I take them away?

(Any other cat keepers out there have this issue? )

Girl Kitty Loves to Carry Socks Around

Strategic Hairball Hork Up - A Tale of Kitty Revenge

Dear Girl Kitty,
You know I love you, right? So why is it you chose to hork up that lovely hairball right where I step off my bed in the morning?  Is that my punishment for my complaining online that you're too fat and lazy to clean your butt or punishment that we bathed your dirty butt the other night? I do hear tell that that the act of bathing a cat demands retaliation so I'm guessing I got what I deserved. I guess the plus side of the hair ball is that you must've been washing something, right?

Who Licked the Butter?

You stare at me, all innocent-like.... but you and me --- we both know that you licked the butter. The girl kitty is too fat to jump on the counter and it's full of tongue marks.

The Rug is Not Kitty Toilet Paper

Dear Boy Kitty,
I appreciate that you want a clean bum. Thank you. I know your sister cat (aka: SmelllllyCat, aka: Fatty Fatty FatCat) doesn't feel the same way as evidenced by her need to show me while I was eating yesterday....

But I need to tell you...in case you might care...the lightest coloured rug in the house is not toilet paper. Funny how you always wait until I walk by to show me how good you are at sliding your kitty bum so thoroughly across it while looking me straight in the eye.

How Can I Buy You Stuff When You Keep Me from Work?

Ok, so you're oblivious to the fact that I need the computer in order to make a living. Or, you're not oblivious and you truly just don't care. I see that. Just don't get mad when I can't afford to buy you the brand name kitty kibble and the fancyschmancy litter with the blue crystals....

You Can't Reach Your Butt

Dear Girl Kitty... you're sweet and the most affectionate kitty I've ever met. But I really think you need to stop eating so much. You can no longer reach your bum to clean it and frankly.... it smells.

Only on the Clean Carpet

Of all the places in the house where you can yak it all up .... how typical it is of you to pick the nicest carpet in the house. You know, the one we steam cleaned last week?
Thanks very much, cat.
