What did your pet(s) do today?

My cats did not do anything today. They were instructed to clean the house but decided to nap all day instead. Lazy cats.

I think they might be organizing a strike or something because my cats are not doing their chores either!

My orange winged amazon, Blue, (he's a parrot) decided to rile up the dogs by imitating different dogs barking from the living room while they were in the bedroom resting. When they ran into the living room barking wildly he would stop, and after a bit they'd come back into the bedroom to lay down and he'd start up again. Bad birdie....

They ate my salt water taffy

My big fat four year old Siamese kittyboy made such a nuisance out of himself for over an hour this morning while I tried to sleep by shoving his head into my hands, and when I put them under the blanket he exhibited all of the digging skills of Mike the Steamshovel (childrens book refererence). I made some half hearted scritching along his chin and neck while he bullied me into vigorous scratching along his back and sides. After I finally was able to satisfy his demands, he took half of my pillow and fell to sleep.

So My little whippet, Doc audibly farted and he whipped his head around so fast to look at his butt. It was funny! He had no idea what is was... silly boy!

Do you live in a zoo? You have lots of different animals at your place.

A lot of us are kept by our pets, and are not keepers of our motley crews.

It is affordable (food, vet care/health insurance, square footage, play things, and affection) for me to have up to 5 rescued cats at a time, two resident dogs (I actually own three, but one of the resident dogs, Obi, & his brother Chewy are shared custody kids), and two small animals (rabbits, rats, or other small creatures). So, I generally do.


I'm lucky enough to have met my animal loving match, in Gaige, who is also an avid rescuer and supporter of animal welfare rights. I frequently encounter folks who say some very rude things to me, about the fact that I have a full house (hoarder/cat lady, you get the picture. Then they wonder why I prefer animals to people most of the time). Frankly, I feel like the world needs more people like Gaige and I, because there are so many furry children without forever homes.

They're ganging up on me. The cats are taking turns opening cupboards and closets, and Obi is stealing things and strewing them about the house. Chessie is expressing his disappointment with Mom being all over the place cleaning, and not playing ball with him. What he doesn't know is that he is going on his first vacation with me on Wednesday, so I'm not going to let his constant complaining make me feel too bad, while knowing that he has walks on boardwalk/beach ahead of him this week.

At 5 am this morning my cat decided he wanted outside, so I sat on the porch with him and next thing I know he's chasing a large field mouse....behind my chair.........and then chasing it all over outside before he ate it . He's a good hunter but does he have to eat what he hunts in front of me?!
Yuck.
