Cats vs. dogs

cat blog, Friday Fab Felines
Everyone’s wanting our Human to get a dog. We’re not going to let that happen.

But Mom- we don’t want a dog.

Here’s why- Twilight doesn’t want a dog because they make too much noise and they’re bigger than her. And they’ll eat out of our litterbox, and they’ll bark and give us fleas, and steal your attention from US, and they’ll eat our food- and steal your attention from us, and I don’t want a dog because, well- it’s a D.O.G.

And, in case I forgot to mention it, they’ll STEAL YOUR ATTENTION FROM US. And they’ll beg for your food when you eat (worse than I do)- and they’ll get the kids all hyper and they’ll steal my spot on the couch, and they’ll eat Twilight’s bed, and your cute unicorn slippers, and they’ll knock over the trash can and blame us for it- and you KNOW we’re too cute and innocent to do that stuff– and they might even BITE YOU! 😿

And mom, they’re about as bright as burned- up candle. I mean, have you seen one of those things lately?

And, as if that’s not enough, they’ll break things, or eat the couch and then blame us for it, and we’ll have to try to prove our innocence, and you’re a tough one to convince, so how about we just forget that idea? Okay?

And also he’ll plot and scheme to get rid of us before we can do it to him – I mean, really, mom- it would be a CAT-astrophe! Just forget it, okay?

Well, Hello there. How you doin?

Just in case you needed a smile, Here I am!

I stopped my busy napping schedule to pop in on you and see how you’re all doing. The Can Opener has been (thinking) she’s getting me used to the eye medicine she keeps abusing me with three times a day (in league with the vet). But I actually have her eating out of my adorable little paw.

What she doesn’t realize is that I’m pretending I don’t mind because in spite of all my efforts, she still manages to get that nasty stuff in both my eyes. I still hate it. But I know that if I act all sweet and compliant, she’ll praise me in the manner I truly deserve and load me up with treats as soon as she’s done.

Then, (thinking I’m all upset and that my eyes possibly sting when she’s done)- she decides that’s the purrfect time to “calm me down” by giving me a nice, long, brushing session with my favorite brush.

Of course, I have my tricks to make her stretch it out as long as possible, until she HAS to do something else… some completely useless thing like, oh, I don’t know… cleaning, or laundry, or cooking, or watching those Critters, or helping her sister, or checking her mail, or going to the doctor- or, exercising- just those trivial things that can’t possibly compare with the honor of taking care of adorable little me.

She assures me that soon we won’t need to “do this” anymore- so then I’ll have to come up with another plan to keep her under control. But for now- I’ll let her think she’s winning, and steal her spot the minute she gets up!

Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll finish your coffee and walnuts.

Hey there- Twilight here to remind you all how lucky you are to have a cat. We are gorgeous, smart, and FABULOUS!

Of course, we Siamese are THE most fab-

But Sushi says torties are the most fab, and persians think they are, and toms think they are- so we’ll just throw a few of our favorites out there and you decide!

Here’s a very smart Tom.
Now here’s a smart cat – waiting for the little Critter to come find her, assume she’s seriously hurt, and demand her Mom to come revive the cat with food and treats.
I wouldn’t cross Betty if I were you.
Another smart Tom.
Here’s a spy cat…Nothing going on here. Move on!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! 😹

Happy Furiday!

Nice- but I don’t eat daisies until they bloom- thanks anyway!

Happy FURiday!

I’m a very busy cat- I’ve got birds to chase, butterflies to catch, creatures to spy on, and at least 4 baths to take before sunset.

So, I’m sharing some giggles before I get busy with my cattiness. Enjoy!

Keep growing, Critters- America needs more Can Openers!

I want to introduce some of my Cat Careers graduates!

Fab Felines Cat Career Graduates

It’s been a while since I’ve done my Cat Career classes- but that’s only because my napping schedule is way behind. I’ve only slept 18 hours today, and I’m exhausted! However, I keep sniffing out skills that my fellow cat-mates have and show them how to develop them into careers!

For example, in my own career as a Cat Purrsonal Trainer, sleep is very important. That’s why I make sure to set a great example by consistently demonstrating effective napping techniques and the importance of staying on schedule.

You’re welcome.

Since Fab Felines are the topic today, I’m introducing some of my favorite students and their new careers!

Pixie- she has a thing for studying math. Now she’s a tutor.
Mittens- smarter than most kittens, I trained him as a remote technician.
Mitzi and Frank – comedians.
Slyvester always had an answer for everything.
Now he’s a politician.

Well, I’m late for my 8th nap, so that’s it for today! Enjoy! I’ll be back soon with more graduates!

“Tumbling Tom” was always a little weird. I got him a job in a psych ward at the local animal hospital.
Goodnight.

I love this chair, Human. Nobody else gets MY chair!

Cats that are (almost) as fabulous as Me!

It’s been busy around here for the last couple of days, and the Can Opener needs some rest. So, I told Sushi to sleep on the laptop so she couldn’t get online and spend time ignoring us to do her grocery shopping. At least, that was the plan.

Unfortunately, even though Sushi’s a whale, The Human was still able to pick her up. So, we had a long, boring day while she shopped online and then, did her grief counseling, and set up physical therapy appointments, and signed a new lease, worked out, and attacked the house with that electronic beast (AGAIN). I hate that big, noisy thing!

Now she’s in pain, and “can’t” play with us. We knew this was going to happen, but we couldn’t stop her from wanting to “get things done.”

Staying busy helps her deal with grief. But, when is there time to relax and play? So, since I can’t stop her from all this busy- stuff, I just sit and glare at by her and work on my guilt inducing glares. Apparently, she either isn’t noticing, or I’m losing my touch.

So, I consulted some of my cat pals in the neighborhood for ideas on how to distract her from her distractions and get her attention. I found some pals that are (almost) as cute as me. I’ll try some of their ideas and hope for the best!

I wonder what she’d do if I sunk my teeth into her desk drawer like this? Probably would hurt…
Maybe I’ll borrow her blow dryer like this guy did- if that doesn’t get her attention, nothing will!
Hey! This will WORK! Now I wait until she goes to bed….
Now, here’s an idea… If I sit in one of her favorite plants and stare like this, she just may wonder what’s up…
Well, not a bad idea for such a tiny little kitty. I’ll try this next.
And now I wait… She can’t stay awake forever!

Slow down, Can Opener! I want that ring on your finger!

I think it’s time to pay some attention to our favorite 4- legged friends. (Fab Felines).

Have some coffee and enjoy your morning. Back soon!

The Can Opener still needs time. It’s a good thing Sushi and I are in control! We’ll get her back soon. Thanks for checking in on us!
