BlogPaws 2013: The Not-So-Good
on Tuesday May 21st, 2013 at 08:34 AM
Since my human went to BlogPaws as a representative of my cat blog, and she was assigned the task of reporting about things that mostly concerned cats, you may not have noticed something about the conference that was pretty obvious if you were actually there: we cats were shrugged off as second-class citizens!
I will start off with the swag bag. Swag bags are supposed to be the highlight of any conference of this type. My human did not bring the BlogPaws swag bag home because it had nothing...
BlogPaws 2013: The Good Part
on Monday May 20th, 2013 at 07:44 AM
My human and I were a bit (well, more than a bit) exasperated with this years BlogPaws conference. But instead of starting off with my gripes, I felt it was better to start off with the good stuff BlogPaws had to offer. It did get my human out of the house for a few days, giving me a break from her incessant kissing and handling of me. And while she was at the conference in Tysons Corner, VA, she did make some connections that will benefit you, my readers. Plus she got to connect with other...
Sunday Catinee: Kitty Workout
on Sunday May 19th, 2013 at 07:10 AM
I had mixed feelings about showing todays Sunday Catinee video because I dont want you to think I am endorsing this type of human behavior. Also, my human, who is sort of a fitness freak, has actually tried some of these moves with me (even before the appearance of this video!), and I can tell you firsthand that not every kitty enjoys this type of thing. But it does feature a couple of my favorite video stars, Shorty and Kodi, and they dont seem to mind it, so here is a workout with kitties.
...Photo Hunt: Glass
on Saturday May 18th, 2013 at 07:10 AM
Here I am, looking through the beveled glass doors into the should-be-catio. What is going on there? Boodie is getting brushed and FURminated! My human had not brushed her in a while and she was getting mats. Fortunately, she eats a fairly high-quality, grain-free diet, so they were easy to brush out.
Boodie does not mind getting brushed, which is a good thing! Usually, my human gets enough fur off of her to make another cat. This time, I think it was a two cat brushing!
I wanted to see this...
Dear Sparkle: My Feline Roomies Still Whap Me After 7 Years!
on Friday May 17th, 2013 at 07:10 AM
This was an Ask Me Anything question, but I felt it was better dealt with in my advice column and you will see why. Oskar from Pet Blogs United asked, Why do the kitties that I live with still swat me on the nose for no reason sometimes? Ive been here for 7 years and I never chase them. Shouldnt they be nice to me by now?
Well, Oskar, I hate to tell you, but some kitties never become best buds with the dogs they live with! I can tell you that for a fact because I am that kind of a kitty...

on Thursday May 16th, 2013 at 07:10 AM
Since my human is off to the BlogPaws conference today, I thought you might enjoy seeing my toes and nose close up!
I will be getting lots of peace while my human is away no picking me up against my will, no kissing and no annoying photo sessions! I consider this a mini vacation. I will still be posting, however.
