A few months ago I discovered a wonderful thing...liquidation outlets and Amazon bin stores. I highly recommend searching for one in your area if you haven't found one already. They're usually a well hidden gem!
There are three liquidation stores in our town that I never knew existed. One sells...
There is a big grey patch on one side of Reese's tail that I've always wondered about. It really stands out against her red and black coat - it's hard to capture in pictures but it is slate grey and only visible from the bottom side. She isn't grey anywhere else on her body that I can see, just...
I make my living as an artist - Here are some of the stickers I've made in the last few months. (Or at least the cat ones)
This one is my latest and the one I'm awfully proud of! The Feed A Meez - A very loud, hungry breed.
My poor Reese ate some mystery object recently that left her completely obstructed in her bowel. It was scary...she would try to eat and then immediately throw up every bite and she was clearly in pain. She's been staying at the vet on fluids and laxatives since Monday. She finally passed a...
These are not my greatest pictures by a long shot - My new friend never stops moving!! I'm trying to decide if he's going to have longer fur when he grows up or if it's just the baby fuzzies. I can't imagine him being fluffy, but maybe on the longer side? What he has right now is quite thick!
I...
A few months ago we unfortunately lost our 20 year old cat to old age. We weren't looking for another kitten, but you know how it goes - They choose you when you need them most. We have been so sad lately, so lonely without our boy. I jokingly made a Cat Distribution System sticker for my store...
I hate for my first cat post after a long hiatus to be about my cat driving me crazy...but she's driving me CRAZY! For the past few months, Reese has been marching into my office about an hour before dinnertime screaming her little head off. If you turn to look at her, she will dart away because...
So, many of you probably don't know this, but I'm actually a professional artist! I do pet portraits. It's literally my job to draw cute animals. Isn't that the coolest thing ever?? (Yes, I'm bragging, I seriously love my job!)
Here is some of the artwork that I've finished recently! :)
Hi all! Not sure if you guys remember me or not. I used to spend a lot of time here, but then life got crazy. I got a puppy and he ended up having some major health issues that took up a lot of my time. Maybe if you don't remember me, you'll remember my cats, Reese and Sir? If not, that's ok...
My sweet Reese has gotten pickier and pickier over the past year. She's gone from eating everything on her plate and begging for more as a kitten to turning her nose up to just about everything I give her. Nothing lasts longer than a few bites. She isn't even tempted by 'people food' like turkey...
What makes life with your cats easier? Share your kitty life hacks! Ingenious, clever, or just plain silly.
I'll start:
When your grumpy, stubborn senior kitty scarfs other cats' food, put a big 'scary' furball in front of the door and tell him to stay there. Grumpy kitty won't pass his mortal...
Show your cats being grouches!
Poor Reese. She adores Sir, but in the last year or so he's decided to turn into a crotchety old man. (Can you blame him? He's at least 13 now.) When she was tiny, he would play and romp with her, but he's all done with that now. She still tries her best though...
I just have to share because it was too crazy.
This morning I went to let my puppy Tyke outside to potty. While he was in a pee squat, I noticed one of the neighborhood strays (Reese's 'boyfriend', Romeo) sneaking through my backyard with a MOUSE clamped in his jaws. He froze stock still with...
About a month ago a cute little grey tabby showed up in my backyard. He didn't seem to have a home, so I set to work trying to trap him. I couldn't figure out what was so appealing about MY yard. You only get fed there if you like birdseed! I never could catch him. He's too clever to spring the...
Well...in a few months anyway. Probably late August. As some of you know, my 6 year old collie mix, Sydney, has had some serious depression and health issues for nearly a year now. She has had a litany of tests done, ranging from blood tests to steroid trials to cancer screenings. The vets have...
We've got some construction going on outside and it woke Reese up from her nap. Here's her goofy 'what the heck' face. (her eye is fine, she just has a a little musclular damage from her infection when she was a stray. When she is tired it droops)
Share your not napping anymore kitties!
Once again I'm in need of advice! My Reese has suddenly decided that she's not interested in eating. She's never been picky, but also never extremely food motivated. Dinner time is dinner time and but it doesn't excite her like it does some other cats (especially Sir, he's generally dreaming of...
For a long time, Reese's fur was longish, but not thick. It almost seemed like she didn't have a double coat. Now at a year old, her fur has begun to thicken more and more and she is showing an obvious double coat. And it's getting longer too, which surprises me. When does a cat's adult coat...
