Opened up a Chewy box of cat toys. While I was distracted, Allie chose her own toy from the box. She is diligently protecting it from Sir Gideon the Gray, who is way too interested in her catnip banana.

This is the special splurge that I got at the garden center on Friday. A Christmas tree gild glitter “lava” lamp.

Recently acquired this picture of myself in 8th grade. I cried so hard when I saw it. My grandmother had me convinced at that age that I was enormous. One day, I was lying on the floor watching TV with at least some of my siblings, and she said, “My God! Your ass as big as the broad side of a barn!

One of my favorite pictures that I ever took. Couldn’t believe the timing!

Going through some old family photos my sister sent me. This is my 1st cat. I was about 4 years old when I got him. I wanted a white cat like my mother had before I was born. My grandmother named him Dr. Benjamin O’Casey. We called him Ben or Casey - it went back and forth.

My son has taken to calling brothers Keegan & Gideon “The Terror Twins.” Something to do with their proclivity for 3 AM zoomies. #caturday

Henceforth & forever more, from this day, let it be known throughout the realm, that Keegan’s new nicknames are “Snugglebutt” and “Mr. Snugglebutt.” As it is written, so let it be done.

I was about to post that Keegan hardly left me alone yesterday, but I had barely seen him today. Then this happened.

My daughter raved about the taste of this protein drink. I got a couple of bottles in a grocery order & they’ve been sitting in my fridge for months. Finally tried it today, and she was right. This stuff is delicious! No weird aftertaste at all. Half the daily recommended protein for 170 calories.

They’re 6” deep. This litter doesn’t seem to end up on the floor as much as clay litter did, but I still have these litter-trapping mats underneath the boxes.

Recently I shared a cat litter I’d found that is fantastic. I also invested in these litter boxes. The combination has meant near zero litter box odor. The stainless steel doesn’t absorb odors like plastic does. Super easy to clean. The steps are not attached, so you don’t need to use them.

Gideon, the little lickie addict, got bedtime lickies in my room last night, then went straight to my son & tried to pretend that he hadn’t gotten lickies. A dab of licky on his chin gave him away. 😹

Washed Allie’s bed this #caturday. Remembered to use unscented laundry detergent. She’s very happy to have it all fluffy again. Warm from the dryer was a plus!
