Cats re-enact the Ides of March

Weeks ago, I mentioned how our only male cat (Nemo) has been undergoing a semi-daily regimen of Prozac due to his urinating issues. Overall, it appears to work because Somara forgot to give him a dose last night which resulted … Continue reading

Molly joins Nemo’s Prozac regimen

Somara busted Molly today leaving a piss puddle that was as impressive as it was disgusting and irritating. Nemo usually got the bum rap because there was a more solid correlation; bedroom door is closed, Molly is trapped in with us, … Continue reading

Once we completed our Sunday-morning chores, aka injecting money into the Central Texas economy, I corralled the friendly kitty who has been squatting on the back porch into a carrier. She didn’t like this as she cried constantly. Then I … Continue reading

Nemo on Prozac: Two weeks

The immediate verdict? I was going to say it has been mainly a victory with him only whizzing on the floor twice because Somara reduced his dosage both times, but he peed again this morning. Either he’s building a tolerance … Continue reading

In our ongoing cat piss war, we have reached what may be the last resort with the primary culprit; Molly does it on occasion but Nemo is a daily problem. It sounds funny but we didn’t have anything left to … Continue reading

Funny cat PSAs for adoption

Even if you don’t like cats, these are admittedly funny and I loved them since Molly and Kuroneko had their settling-in periods too. Miette and Nemo were rescued from the “wild” without the assistance of a shelter.

Famous album covers redone with kittens

Don’t blame me entirely, these sickenly-cute parodies, remakes or tributes were referred to me from They Might be Giants’ Facebook posts. I wish I were better with Photoshop so I could do my own. Which album? Initially, I’m thinking Who’s … Continue reading

Tiki the Jester!

We couldn’t resist testing out this Halloween outfit for one of our cats on Tiki. He’s such a good sport about most things. I feel he would be a great Grand Marshall at next year’s Mardi Gras.

Janus Cat

Frank and Louie are making the rounds because he (or they?) is now the longest living cat with two faces. Poor guy but he’s made it to 12 which is 60-plus for a human. Being the owners of a three-legged … Continue reading

Name the kitty again (July 2011)
