These pictures are a few years old. I have not attempted to dress up the kitties again. I want to live!
No cats were harmed in these photos. Their human slave is another story….
Mac gets hyped up on nip (my excuse for him) and does the weirdest things. This time I caught him in the act. My camera is still new to me and I haven’t mastered how to be all Quentin Tarantino with it. The quality is crappy. I want to share it anyway. 
The role that animals play in the lives of people inspired the creation of Be Kind to Animals Week by The American Humane Association. First launched in 1915, this year marks the event’s 95th anniversary!
Marie Belew Wheatley, president and CEO said, “Kindness toward animals is a building block of a humane and compassionate society.” “We celebrate and encourage that all year long,” she said.
Not that we need a designated time of year to do this, in honor of Be Kind to Animals Week, here are some tips on how you can show your appreciation for animals:
Lucien is keeping our local Culligan water in business. I’ve been trying to convince him he needs to get a job to help pay for it. No such luck!
The video is long because Steve and I are new at this and don’t know how to edit yet. You wont be sorry though, Keep watching so you can see another of Lucien’s favorite things; getting his little kitty but spanked!
Fuzzy valentines around the world will take part in our celebrations of love at home this February 14. Admit it, even if you want them around, the more you try to shoo them off, the more they will want to hang out with you and your sweetie. There are several things we need to be aware of when it comes to their safety, but I want to point out three that are more likely to surface this week.
Two Valentine hazards to be aware of are chocolate and lilies. In the week prior to Valentine’s Day 2008, cases involving chocolate ingestion increased by 74%—a number comparable only to cases seen during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.
Here are some helpful tips I got of the ASPCA website.
- When sending a floral arrangement, request that it contain no lilies, as all species within the plant genera Lilium are toxic to cats. And please de-thorn your roses, as their sharp, woody spines can hurt your pet if chewed, stepped on or swallowed.
- Stow chocolates (any candy) in paw-proof drawers and cabinets. The darker the chocolate, the more likely a pet who’s ingested it will suffer vomiting, diarrhea, hyperactivity, seizures and an elevated heart rate.
- Spilled wine is nothing to cry over—until a curious pet laps it up. Because animals are smaller than humans, a little bit of alcohol can do a lot of harm, causing vomiting, lack of coordination, difficulty breathing and even coma.
- Gather up tape, ribbons, cellophane and balloons after you open presents—long, stringy and “fun-to-chew” items can get lodged in your pet’s throat or digestive tract.
As always, if you suspect your pet has ingested a toxic substance, contact your veterinarian or the APCC’s 24-hour hotline at (888) 426-4435.
Now give me pressies damn it!
Who ever said Christmas was just for kids, does not know what they are talking about. Just ask my kids, err I mean cats.

Dear Precious Felines of mine,
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. This includes cat hair. I’ve grown used to the taste so that trick wont work anymore.
The stairway/hallway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn’t help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, howl, meow, and try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge to try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years–canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is to kiss me, then clean your butt. I cannot stress this enough!
Love always,
Meowmie
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Complain About Our Pets:
I think I’m one of the few that disagrees with this. Who would clean their cat box and feed them if I died? I’m in denial OK! I know they’d off me if they had the chance!
BTW I am not artistic or clever enough to come up with this. I found it at http://www.catswhothrowupgrass.com
