Since I’ve been sick for the last several weeks (feeling much better now, thanks!), I’ve really been slacking with cleaning the litterbox. Like, REALLY been slacking. Like I can’t remember the last time I did it, and my husband didn’t realize I hadn’t been so he hadn’t either. Oops.
When I went in to do it, […]

I’ve talked before about our preventive flea and tick treatments, and you would think that after all this time, everyone would be used to them! But not Zoe. She sees me bust out the Revolution box and runs for the hills. Or, you know, under the bed.

He or she jumps in your lap (or on your chest) every time you sit down with a book. (Ty and Pickles)

He eats pencils that mysteriously appear on the floor of your home office. Note: The cat may be in cahoots. […]

Now that we’re letting Zoe and Isabel outside since we’ve moved to the country, we’ve decided that it’s time to try getting rid of the litter box.
