Recently, I was going through a bunch of old bedding in the attic and I happened upon this blanket that I made Peanut when she was little. She loved horses. She loved everything horse: to ride them, horse toys, even her American Girl doll had jodhpurs and her own Mare.
I decided to use the blanket as a cover on my bed to keep the cat hair off my pillows. Now look who loves horses.
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

(This is a visit to the 1st Caturday post which was on Dec 1, 2012. Muffin was such a great cat. The funny thing about this collage is that several years after this post one of the kids told me that the picture in the lower-left corner was kitten Nine in his first year with us not ‘The Muffin Man’ (aka Muffy).. Oh well, Loved my Muffy!)
They say that cats sleep about 18 hours of the day but Muffy probably sleeps 23. Now that is a job that I would like to have. We were trying to create a counting book with Muffin and the snowball pillows one season (here is Muffin with 3 and Muffin with 4), but I ran out of snowballs. The cats you may not recognize with him in some of the pictures are: on the left, Gertrude, she passed in 2007 and on the right, Zachary, who passed in 2010. Muffy had this thing about sleeping in my pocketbooks: that could not be comfortable. Those cats sure love FISH TV in our zoo.

Noel is a funny cat. She wants Mommy’s chair. But lately, Mini Cooper has been owning the chair. So Noel, in all her infinite cat wisdom, has decided to sit on, lie on, and generally squeeze Mini Cooper out. But Mini, being Mini, isn’t moving. I would say it is a Love/Hate relationship, but maybe it is just mutual disdain if their faces tell the story,
Wishing everyone who celebrates a happy holiday. May this evil virus PASSOVER your house and may your spirits RISE as you find celebration in the small things of daily life.

March is supposed to come in like a LION and go out like a LAMB. But it seems like it went out like a LION too. Days turn from sunny and cold to overcast and mild to overcast and cold to ……

Stay home with your humans and wash your paws!
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

At least some beings at the DogDaz Zoo are getting along during lockdown. I wish that I was as chill as Mini Copper and Charles, the Mugwump.
Wash your paws and stay well.

Hi, Mini Cooper here.
I have been working very hard to make sure that everyone stays in line while they are isolated in the house because of this scary COVID thing. It has been great fun to have all the humans at our beak & call (that means that they are our servants (but what else is new).

I have made it my job to occupy as many laps as I can throughout the day.

Noel here. Look, little Mini, it is “Beck and Call” and I am the only one that can tell the human’s what to do. I was here first, before all of you, and Mom’s lap is mine if I beckon. So back off and scat!!

I cannot imagine a life without cats!
