I'm Back!
Published on 2012-02-23 17:29:00
As you probably noticed I changed my template and also the title of my blog. My cats are almost a year old now (how time flies) and I pretty much dropped the ball on blogging about the first year of their lives. Oh well...onward and upward.On my new old blog I hope to bring you some fun new product reviews and maybe even a giveaway from time to time. So come back often, follow me and leave a comment.Talk soon =) > read more
Piggy Back?
Published on 2011-10-01 10:09:00
Harry isn't only Houdini but he likes to ride around on my back. The other day I bent over in the bathroom and he jumped on my back from the toilet. Needless to say, it was uncomfortable and the only way I could get him off was to walk hunched-backed over to the scratch post where he (reluctantly) jumped off.But he's so cute =) > read more
Harry...Houdini
Published on 2011-09-13 08:53:00
Our Harry is fitting in perfectly with our household, except for one thing...he's always into something. If it's possible for a ghost to inhabit an animal, Houdini is living in our cat.We've had to cover the laundry sink downstairs as he was drinking the sudsy water, (and he still manages to get through it) put cardboard around a slight space from our workroom to a closed off room for junk, and also put plastic around the pipe to the furnace as he likes to climb in and around on the duct work.H [..] > read more
He's My Best Friend
Published on 2011-08-23 09:16:00
Bringing another cat into a household is never easy - they hiss, scratch, fight and try to dominate and intimidate the newcomer.However, after Milo's initial "roughness" with Harrison (Harry), they have become the best of friends. What one does the other follows - which usually means double trouble. We have nicknamed them Destructor and Wrecking Ball.I think there's entirely too much testosterone in our home now. I'm thinking I may need to get a little fuzzy baby girl to balance it out some ( [..] > read more
3 Weeks Already!
Published on 2011-08-18 09:13:00
Wow! It's been 3 weeks today since we brought home Harry. Since then he's been through his final vaccinations and a bout with coccidia (internal, one-celled parasite that causes diarrhea). However, I brought his stool sample to the vet yesterday and he's all clear - YAHHH.When we were looking around for another kitten, Harry seemed like the perfect match, however, we have quickly been learning that he is definitely a Harry - Houdini that is.We have found him under boxes, in the sink, in the d [..] > read more
A Brutha from Anutha Mutha
Published on 2011-07-31 10:28:00
Hooray we finally got a brother/playmate/last addition to our family. We brought home Harry from the Humane Society on Thursday around 3:00 pm.Harry is 4 months old and has been at the shelter since he was 5 weeks (left in night deposit box with his litter mates). I know he wasn't on my list below, but we started thinking perhaps an adult might be too much for Milo to handle - so Harry came home with us.He's sweet and affectionate and loves to cuddle - when Milo isn't keeping him busy playing.

Help Us Choose
Published on 2011-07-23 09:05:00
Milo needs a pal. We are looking at adults as the kittens usually always find homes. So we need your help in choosing from the candidates...This petite beauty is a year old, part Siamese, blue eyes, and is already spayed.This handsome fellow is Flame-point Siamese, 10 months old, and already neutered.Beautiful and well-behaved this cutie is an adult female, already spayed.This sweety is a petite female, spayed, and is tabby in nature.The wild card in the mix is around a year old, has extra toe [..] > read more
Caught Red-Pawed
Published on 2011-07-22 10:24:00
Being the only cat in the house, Milo doesn't have any excuses when something is torn down, scratched, toppled or destroyed...I have been making and donating gift baskets to our local no-kill shelter to help them raise money. So when I finished the last one I had to find a "safe" place to store it until I could hand it off. I thought the top of our computer (way up on the desk) was a great place.Yeah, right.Caught red-pawed was my little culprit after he chewed on the back of the cello-wrap. So [..] > read more
Bye Bye Noo-Noo's
Published on 2011-07-20 09:01:00
Yesterday was a rough day for our baby boy - he was neutered. If you think cats can't give you looks, think again. Milo had a look of terror when they took him away and a look of disdain when I picked him up. However, other than having a lighter load on the back-end, he seems to be fine today. I bought him the expensive, special can food and some new toys to make up for the "procedure," though I'm not sure what the appropriate gift is for taking away his...er...boyness, (Hallmark doesn't make [..] > read more

Milo & Me
Published on 2011-07-10 18:13:00
I believe God created cats so we humans wouldn't get so high on ourselves. My former cats were all awesome pets in their own special ways, but none tested me as much as Milo does.Unlike my other felines (that were more like dogs in their attitude and behaviour), Milo does exactly what he wants, when he wants and no amount of yelling, begging, bribing or persuasion will change that. (And yes this lying on my computer has become a daily habit).However, I've recently come to realize as much as I [..] > read more
