Media Madness, and the Irreverent Vet.

Parts of this article will come from the "Irreverent Vet at Pet Place.com. The original piece is from a USA Today article. I found this so amazing that I had to report this in my blog. Sometimes I am just wondering who writes this stuff. So USA Today published an article called "Letting Pets Sleep Next to You can Make You Ill". The Irreverent Vet published a rebuttal. "Sensationalized" headlines sell newspapers and unfortunately, they can also make stupid people do stupid things. I heard about a family that wanted to get rid of their dog because of this article. ME: Seriously people think this over, you are going to destroy your dog over an article that may or may not be true. Then USA Today article states that about 14 to 62 % of owners let their pets sleep with them. ME: Yes I do. They warned that this is a potentially dangerous due to a "hair raising list of possible pathogens". They cite diseases such as cat scratch fever and the plague. Not only letting your pet sleep with you dangerous, so is kissing your pet. ME: Am I dead yet? Yes I am writing this from the great beyond. So is walking outside, so is interacting with other people. ME: I think interacting with some people is more dangerous. The article goes on to say the risk is rare. ME: Most people quit reading after danger do not sleep with your pets. But often by this time the damage is done. The chances of diseases spreading from pets to people is possible but IT IS VERY RARE. The vet goes on to say he has never known anyone to get a disease from a pet, especially while sleeping. Nope I'm still here. And as a veterinarian, I've never contracted a diseases from a pet. Many owners sleep with their pets and live to a ripe old age. We I really enjoyed the article myself and that is why the clan and I decided to share it with you. We were very amused. If I couldn't have a baby or two sleep with me it would be weird. Now I know this is not for everyone that is fine. People must do what they have to sleep comfortable. Also before jumping to conclusions you must read an article through and think it through. If you have questions you need to research them first. Happy Cat.

We are united.

Not sure what these two were up to but, they were talking to each other. As a rule cats to not communicate with each other. The usually only talk to their humans or their babies as a rule. I am sure these two where plotting on how they could get rid of Her Highness. I think they are just sick of her sassiness. But I must say Phantom, is just as bad. He is needy and likes to egg Jezz on. He will walk up to her, like to say, "Hey Girl what's up" this sets her off and she hisses and slashes out at him. He is so dorky he will go back for more instead of backing off. Jekyll will for the most part ignore her, but for some reason he goes after my little Sophia. So I am really thinking that these two were plotting the demise of Jezz. Boy I hope not, maybe they were just chatting about dinner plans. Nope probably not. Happy Thoughts from Cat Land.

Traveling with a Cat. Yikes

Sometimes it is necessary to travel with your pets. I find dogs travel much better than cats, and have never had a cat that was jumping up and down by the door to go for a ride. Now take a dog for instance, just grab your car keys and there you go. Dog at door drooling over the prospect of getting in the car. I don't care if you just move your keys, Dog is READY. Okay so I found this article with a few handy tips on traveling with Kitty. I can only say I want to do this as much as I want to don a Kevlar suit and bathe a cat. You see my point right? If you must travel with Her Highness, or His Highness, here are some tips to help make the ride better. Not better than what but here goes. The most important thing to remember is you are driving and must still concentrate on the road, and if you are lucky your furry ball of charm will just sit on the seat and snooze. ( Just for reference I am adding a lot of my own comments, but the tips are from Pets360 web site.) Cats can get motion sickness (just like children). So to start out take some very short road trips to help Kitty adjust to riding in the car. If possible do this on a daily basis until the road trip. Hyper cats may need medication to deal with the trip. Talk to your Vet, and get his or her recommendations, and medications for a safer trip for Kitty. The best bet for transporting a pet is a comfortable car carrier, less stress for you anyway, and the cat will not be under the seat or near your feet and the gas or brake petal. Place inside the carrier a favorite blanket, or even something with your smell on it, like a tee shirt you really where meaning to throw out. Food, water and treats. Bring kitties own brand of food, and you need to bring water from home. Do not take chances with water from strange places. May upset kitties tummy. Get a copy of your cats medical records just in case a Vet visit is needed while away. Also I suggest that you ask your Vet for recommendations if they know of someone in the area, or just get yourself on line and check it out. Leashes and a collar are important as well. You may stop to take a break and so does Kitty. The most important thing to remember. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAT IN A HOT CAR. The temps can rise very quickly and a cat can suffer heat stroke in minutes. This can be fatal. So you want to travel with Kitty? I really suggest hiring a trusted family member to come to your home if at all possible to watch your Furry Child. They would really be more comfortable. But if that is not an option, take care and have a safe trip. Happy Cat.

Hello from Cat Land.

Well we certainly haven't visited with you lately. I developed an allergy to something so I have been a little lax in doing anything. No it wasn't the cats. I thought maybe it was flea bits as we have been battling fleas again. We cannot catch a break here. It's not like when Jake was alive and bringing them in the house, I do suspected it was a visiting dog that we babysat for a week though. Once you get the darn things it takes a lot to get rid of them. The boys and girls are just as fed up as I am. You treat the flea situation by doing so many things. Vacuum everyday, wash bedding yours and the cats and on and on. But I didn't get bit by fleas as I suspected, I really believe it was a shampoo that I used and it caused the problem, I broke out in a very itchy rash along my hair line and my face. So as I was so miserable it was just enough to go to work come home, feed my babies, change litter boxes then take some Benadryl and then crash. That stuff makes me sleep. I am a bit better today, but still tired. We will catch up with you in the next two days, yay weekend off and I have a lot to share with you. Right now I have to find the dang fly that is making all of the cats crazy. They can see it I can't but they are racing around the house and jumping on everything knocked over a lamp already and Phantom watch out. Found it. It landed on me as well as he did, get down. Gotta go! Love from Cat Land.

Lazy hazy days.

Even though it looks like my cat's are lazy little bums, just the opposite is true. They do earn their keep. How you ask. Well are they entertaining you? Maybe not, and you just have nothing better to do while you are at work and thought you would check in on the Crazy Cat Lady. Everyday my cats do something to amuse me. Running through the house, chasing each other, attacking me when I walk by, eating plastic, falling off the bed. The list goes on. One of my favorites is Sophia sitting outside the bathroom door meowing to get in. she does this to my son all of the time. It's so tragic it is funny. She also buries her food. Don't ask, I do not know why. But my cat's do know how to relax, they get so relaxed that you can barely wake them up. Unless there is food being opened or a thunder storm rolling round, they can snooze anywhere. Even though it may appear that the cat is sound asleep they basically sleep with one eye opened in case of danger. Well we all know that the lazy hazy days of summer are over and we can only hope for some warm fall days, and with falling leaves my little stalkers like to spend a lot of time in the windows soaking up the waning sun and watch leaves falling from the trees and dreaming that they can catch them. Happy Fall.

What is that? If the cat sees it, it must be there.

Ever notice your cat staring intently at something? You look don't see anything, but it's there. Where, I don't know. I have a great fear of spiders. Just typing the word gives me the willies. So when I have a cat fixated on a spot on the wall I have to investigate, and hope like hell it's not a spider. Usually it's not but just in case I arm myself with a shoe, a newspaper, a magazine, the cat or whatever to kill it. I have no problem smashing them. Now if it's a ladybug out the door it goes, or any type I can capture and set free, but not a spider, heck no its got to go. Jinx will sit and stare at the floor intently and I always know what see is looking at, and to think after all these years she would just ponce on that devil bug and get rid of it so I don't have to. Flies are another story. Let a fly get into the house and it is a chase to the death. Whoever finds it wants to keep it and eat it. Protein you know. A fly chase is dangerous as a cat will try and fly through the house just to catch it and the cat could care less what is in the way or whom he or she runs over. Wasps are another one the cats will sit and watch it try to get outside, normally they will not attempt to catch it but make enough commotion that I investigate and get rid of it for them. It is like they know that a wasp is dangerous and stings. Sophia will sit and watch a spot just over your head, she does that a lot and creeps people out doing it, when you look behind you, nothing absolutely nothing there. But Sophia sees it and stares to the point that you wonder what green goblin is attached to your wall only Sophia can detect. Creepy when she does this. So if the cat is staring and fixated on a spot, most likely something is there, and what it is you can only guess at, in my case it is one of two things, a spider(shudder) or a green goblin attached to my wall. Happy Cat.

Let's Talk Cat Hair.

Cat hair can be a major problem for most people, but when you have more than one cat it can be cat-a-strophic. I have five cats as you all know. So today I found a article on a web site I like and it had some suggestions. Okay I am all for any way to help with this problem, and sure enough they had answers. I really was hoping it was something really good. Nope just the same thing I do everyday. But here goes. As you all know cat hair is sticky, sticks to everything, your mother in law, your kids, your boss and the church lady in her good Sunday suit come to visit. The best suggestion I have and the site said as well is brush the cat and or comb the cat, give it a bath, good luck. I am not one to court danger, I like a good shoot um up movie with some hunky actor as the next girl, but bathing a cat is not on my bucket list. The main thing to keep in mind is that the cat needs to be brushed everyday, at my house we make weekly appointments for cat grooming. I'm the groomer of course. There are many good brushes on the market, and they have them for long and short haired cats. For furniture if you can keep the cat off of it fine, but hey when the humans away the cat will lay. I mean everywhere, the couch, your fave chair, bed, the sink, the counter you get the picture. I keep a blanket on the couch for the cats and on my bed as well. They are pretty good about laying on them, but I do vacuum the couch and chair regularly. Another good practice is throw your comforter in the dryer for a few minutes on air dry and it will take the cat hair off of it. Vacuum your carpets regularly, this helps keep the cat hair under control. A good sticky roller is a must for animal lovers. I keep them everywhere in my house, and car. But the most, Jinx I'm fine I don't need help and your getting hair on the keyboard. So as I was saying the most important thing is brush your cat daily. This will help to keep it under control. Jinx says bye. Happy Cat. Jinx stop, get downnnnnnnnnnnnn.

A day in pictures.

I wanted to share some very adorable pictures of Miss Kitty. Isn't she just the thing? Miss Kitty has a new family now. We will tell you of her adventures at a later time. But please enjoy. Happy Pampered Miss Kitty.

10 Cats who like water. Get the pool Mom.

Not all cats dislike water and here are ten who readily like it. So here is the first cat. MAINE COON: Popular ship's cat in his native New England. Captains are know to have a Maine Coon aboard their ship. Good Luck? Could be. NORWEGIAN FOREST CAT: Can snag a fish from lakes and streams. They are a large cat as is the Maine Coon. ABYSSINIAN: From the Indian Ocean costal area. Loves to play in water of any kind. Keep the potty lid shut. MANX: A native of the Isle of Man off the coast of Britain. Will play in his water dish or join you in the shower. The profile picture I have on this blog is a Manx cat. JAPANESE BOBCAT: Likes to splash in the water, and can learn to turn on a faucet. Great. Just like having kids. BENGAL: An exotic appearance of a wildcat. Likes water and plays in it as well. AMERICAN BOBTAIL: Often will be found dunking their toys in their water dish. What a mess that is, I have a cat who does this frequently but is just a goofy Siamese. SAVANNAH: This cat is a crossing of a Serval cat which is a small wild cat and domestic cats. Likes to be creative, haha, is know to be a handful. TURKISH ANGORA: Very fond of playing in water. TURKISH VAN: Legend has it this cat was on Noah's Ark and when the ark landed swam shore. They will also thank you if you buy them a small child's pool for those long hazy warm days. So if you want a water cat these are some good choices. The first two mentioned have long hair and are rather large cats. They are very beautiful. Bengal's are also a large cat and very beautiful as well. I like Manx cats with their natural bobbed tails, or rather no tail almost. Moe the Manx cat on my blog was a very good sized cat and very loving. If I was to choose a cat it would be one like Moe. Well hope you enjoyed this segment, as I enjoyed finding the information for you. We will be talking about some solutions or suggestions on how to deal with cat hair next. Happy Water Cat.

Mom's Away.

Hi everyone. While Mom's away I am filling in for her. I'm Jinx. I learned to use her computer after sitting in front of it every time she is on it. I also learned how to play a few games while I was trying to lay on the keyboard. So after I am done here off to play a game or two. Today everyone was not happy to see mom leave. The boy was here but he ignores us, except for the big cat and Sophia. Sophia sneaks into the boy's room and hides under his bed. When we can't find her, mom always knows where to look. Jezzabel really hates when mom leaves and she will go and lay on the bed waiting for her to come home. Phantom just walks around the house like he is a king, and I am the good one I just curl up on the window sill and enjoy the sights. Jekyll stays in his box most of the day, and only gets up to eat and use the litter box. Today though we decided it was a good day to play. I gathered up all of the furry mice and batted them at the boy cats. It makes them crazy and they chase them all over the house. I swoop in and grab them when they are playing with them and then they chase me around the house. I ran into the kitchen with one of them and up onto the top of the cupboard. Haha can't catch me. Phantom sat on the floor trying to figure out how to get up with me, and Jekyll is really to big to make the jump. He did try it once and fell off the cupboard. Not a very pretty sight. I tired of the game and came back down, when I did I left the mouse up high. Phantom was looking all over for it, finally he gave up. Jezz and Sophia just watched the action. Well we hope mom comes home soon, we like it when she is here and spends time with us. I have to go I hear the game site calling my name. Happy Jinx. Oh yes mom will be back tomorrow and she said to tell you she has new pictures to share, so see you later.

Ha I have a basket.

Phantom has a basket, just as Jekyll has his box, which he will not share. Now Jekyll has more than one box, he currently has three of them and if anyone comes near he will jump in the one someone else has their eye on. So why do I allow him to have three, I like the big guy to have options. Plus for Jekyll this is his security blanket. Well Phantom decided that the clothes basket looked like a good option. He jumped in and was all comfy, here come Jezz, and of course Phantom is minding his own business he has a basket after all and she just walks right up and hisses at him. He just ignores her. Well Jekyll decided he wanted to get in the basket as well and Phantom was not having any of this. He sat up and started swatting at Jekyll, Jinx I don't need an editor at the moment. Jekyll decided he really didn't need the aggravation and moved along, back to his box. Jinx really I can handle this, you can do the blog tomorrow while I'm visiting Grandma. Gee I'm glad I like cat hair in my coffee. It's funny how cats will claim something for themselves. They do this to their humans as well, and will be all hissy when someone wants to spend time with me and someone else is already in my lap or next to me on the bed. It's so nice to feel special. Happy Cat.

Well what are you doing.

Curiosity it is said killed the cat. What a strange saying, and rather morbid. Children have a natural curiosity and as do cats, it is a wonderment. I often find that when a child has a natural curiosity he or she is more open to learning. Now cats on the other hand can get into some serious situations. Cats are nosy. Phantom is very nosy. He always has to be right there finding out what you are doing, and more often than not will always end up in trouble. For instance he almost ended up in the toilet today, he just had to run into the bathroom as I needed it and when I lifted the lid, well he was lucky I grabbed him before he became wet cat. Jinx and Sophia like to sit and ponder the world around them, and are always in the middle of every little cat tiff in the house. Curiosity. I have a sky light in my kitchen, which birds like to land on, this will always bring a cat up on the counter to check out the movement on the sky light. Well one day someone decided they could fly and almost ended up in a sink full of dishes. What a tragic mess this could have been had I not been close by to save the cat. Curiosity. On occasion I will leave the refrigerator open as I am grabbing everything for the evening meal, Sophia will run over and check it out, well one day I didn't see her jump on the bottom shelf, and as I was done I shut the door. A couple of minutes later, I opened it for one more item and was attacked by a very frightened Sophia. Curiosity almost killed that cat. So as I had curious children, Jezz that will get you in trouble. Sorry she was being curious, and Phantom was the victim. I now have five curious furry children and someone is always putting a nose or paw where it shouldn't be. This makes my life interesting and I have a lot of funny moments in my home. I cherish everything this bunch does, just as I cherish my human family and friends. Never stop being curious you may just discover something wonderful and exciting. Happy Cat.

Loony Moon, and did that Cat just do that?

So today we will give you the rest of the lunar phases. Okay the phase at my house has been loony. I always know when the Full Moon is getting ready to appear. I do not need a calendar. I have five little calendars to remind me. Take Jekyll, I mean really take Jekyll. Yesterday as I was wrapping up my blog he decides to attack Sophia. Now he has at least 14 pounds on her and she is fighting for her little life. Full Moon lunatic. Dr.Jekyll (and Mr. Hyde) is just sitting in his box like nothing ever happen. Who me is the Look I am getting. So after I check Sophia over she is fine, I go and give Jekyll the LOOK. He of course is so innocent. Well on to the rest of the story. We went over the first three phases as being the Full Moon, the New Moon and the Super Moon. I was given to understand we just had a Super Moon recently. I missed that one. The next moon on our list is the Waning Moon: The Waning Moon is a time when sensitive animals will tune into their sixth sense and know it is time to hunt, gather food, and build their homes in order to protect their families, and prepare for the future. The Waning Moon unlike the Full, New, and Super Moons acts like a brake. For the animal, domestic or wild, it is time to put natural instincts and the nesting mode into action for self preservation. Waxing Moon: Sensitive animals use the Waxing time frame to rest, to heal and to become more aware and alert to its surroundings. It is an interval to slow down. Sleeping and staying calm are par for the course of this moon phase, unlike other action orientated lunar phases. It is a period when animals become more aware of the connection between soul, mind and body. Its a time of awareness of well being and celebration of life. Blue Moon: The Blue Moon occurs when there are two full moons in one month. In other words, the lunar phase is much like the Full Moon and repeats its patterns. The difference between two Full Moons comes from the astrological sign the moon is passing through, therefore the intensity of one Full Moon would effect an animal's psyche in one area of life and the second in another area of life. It is like our companion animals and wild animals get a double dose of the Full Moon and its intense vibrations on Earth. The clan and I hope you enjoyed this information, we enjoyed finding out about the moon phases and the effects. These effects happen to humans in some form or another as well. Happy Loony Cats.

How the Moon affects your Pet.

The following is by Astrologer Dana Haynes. I found the information useful as well as interesting. As there are six phases I will make this a two part blog. I did notice this morning that the Moon was full and beautiful. I love a Full Moon, makes me what to howl. I probably have been known to do it on occasion. Full Moon: The Full Moon influences the psyche of animals with noticeable intensity. It has been said to increase chaos. Vet staff and animal control keep busy during this phase. Dogs and wolves are known to howl during a full moon phase, birds become agitated and disoriented. Cats hide. The full Moon tends ,to rattle humans and pets. New Moon: For a sensitive animal, the New Moon, not unlike the Full Moon, supports intentions and therefore it is time to change old habits. It is time to tune into natures vibrations, which many cats, dogs or other domestic and wild animals may do. Animals seem to naturally tune into the New Moon phase, understanding it is a time to chill even though it can be a challenge. Animals senses are heightened at this time. Super Moon: Unlike a Full Moon and New Moon, this phase is when an alignment of the Sun, Moon and the Earth called perigee-syzygy occur when the Moon is at its closest to the Earth (perigee). Animals tend to be ultra sensitive during this time of a very big Full Moon. Like humans, the power of the electromagnetic fields during a Full Moon phase interacts with our own magnetic field increasing the ability to sense or feel the stress around us. Animals tend to notice the interaction quicker as it is part of their survival instincts to stay away from danger or snuggle with heir humans or caregivers. I do notice my own furry babies tend to act different during the Full Moon, some become a little nuttier and others tend to be more stick to my hip. We will finish this up tomorrow. And yes Sophia there is such a thing as a Blue Moon. Happy Cat.

Bag Lady.

I have a bag lady living in my house. Her name is Sophia. I don't care what that bag is made of she will seek it out and be inside of it. It doesn't even have to be a bag, it can be a large big plastic covering off of a mattress, or a comforter just delivered from the dryer. Sophia will dig in and hide out, now we all know she is in the bag or under the blanket, but to Sophia she is hiding. But bags are the best as far a she is concerned. I can barely get the groceries in the door and put away before her little head is stuck inside the bag trying to get inside of it. She has even been known to try and get stuff out of the bag so she can fit better. Maybe I should just get her a shopping cart. Wouldn't that be grand. Happy Sophia.

I have a plan, just listen.

For some reason I find that I have my profile cat picture along with the title picture on this blog. That's ok. After all it is Happy cat month. I don't know if you remember the back story on the sleeping cat, but this is Moe, and yes he was a very happy cat, much loved by his human. Moe has now been gone for over a year, and my human friend still misses his buddy. So to Moe Happy Cat month wherever you are. So on to the plan. Jinx and Sophia where just hanging out, Jinx had been laying in the chair and Sophia on the back. As I watched them Jinx stood up and touched Sophia's nose, and then she meowed at her. Just for reference, cats normally do not meow at each other. They usually only meow for their humans or babies. So as I watched with interest it appeared that she was telling Sophia a story. I find that each day my clan does something that just makes me wonder what they are up to, and are they really thinking up things to do? So Jinx I am sure at this point had a plan, what it was or may have been only Sophia knows. Happy Cat.

Happy Cat Month. Saturday.

I came home yesterday with two rescued cabinets. My son and daughter in law are redoing their kitchen, and they had two awesome cabinets that I can make into an island for my kitchen. Now these cabinets have no backs on them and also I need to connect them by one counter. No problem, I found the perfect solution on Pinterest for the project. Now the real story. Any time you bring home something new everyone has to check it out. First we must jump on top of it and see what it is. The next process is to see if we can climb into it. Yes we can perfect. But then unfortunate problem is that a cat is in the cabinet and another cat also wants to check this out and freaks out first cat, so I open the cupboard door and out streaks a cat. The next space is where the drawers go, and of course someone has to check that out as well. So much for putting the drawers back in. So around and around the cats go. One on top one on the floor stretching out to try and touch the top. Of course Jekyll is long enough he can touch the top. This is now his second favorite spot. King of the kitchen, now I just wish he would learn to cook. Bring anything in and it has smells from where ever it has been, and with the keen sense of smell cats have nothing is safe, it has to be sniffed and or pawed at. If it is not to interesting they will move on, but if it smells good or really interesting wait to put it away, it's good entertainment. Well we will keep you informed of our island project, and I will post before and after pictures for you, with a cat or two posing of course. Happy Cat.

Cat Body Language.

Cats have body language, and it is interesting to watch cats and the things that they do. Tail twitching is something I notice a lot here in our house. When you have five cats you learn body language pretty quickly. An upright tail flipped forward over the back means cat is in a neutral mood or welcoming state. Twitching the tip of the tail signals a hunting behavior. This can also be associated with aggression depending on the twitch of the tail. The more the movement back and forth the less happy a cat is or about to attack something, especially if the cat is in a crouched position. Extreme rapid tail movement means, STAND BACK. An upright bottle brush tail indicates the cat feels threatened and or being defensively aggressive. Twining the tail around your legs signifies a bid for your attention or a signal of love to you their human. This is also a making technique to mark you as their person. Chin rubbing or head butting has meaning as well. These actions are part of a cats way to mark you as well and shows their love for you. Also rubbing parts of their bodies or chin on certain areas shows other cats where they have been and what they consider their territory. Watch a cat and you will see all of the things I have pointed out. You can learn to read your cat pretty easily, and it's fun to understand what they are doing, so sort of like a crying baby, we all learn to know a hungry cry from I am just plain mad, pick me up. Cats do this as well. So for all of you cat people out there September is Happy Cat Month. So go out and celebrate with your cat. Happy Cat.

Oh the agony of it all.

Oh my, what is the matter with Phantom? Probably nothing, maybe something, who knows. I found him on the floor like this and when I asked what was the matter he just ignored me. I mean he really ignored me, he didn't even move when I shook a kitty treat bag. Hmm. I think he was having a moment. Phantom has lots of moments. From the moment I get up he has to be catered to. Now I don't have time in the morning to do anything but get ready for work. Phantom has other plans, jump on the potty, jump on the sink, paw me as I come out of the clothes closet. Just give me a moment Phantom. Phantom is a great cat though, he is soft and cuddly, he likes to be fawned over and brushed, but if he is having a moment I usually get a swat. He like to sit on the dresser and as I walk by will give me a swat, no reason he is having a moment, or else he's in agony over something or other. Cats do funny things, and I think that they are hams for a camera. I have witnessed many a thing that could probably win me some money. Now there is a idea, making money off antics of this bunch. Happy Mom.

Alien Cat.

All cats are aliens. How else can they get you to do their bidding and fulfill all of their needs. World domination is their ultimate plan. I know that I am a slave to five aliens. Pet me, feed me, brush me, throw toys for me, and change the litter box, I want fresh water, I want I want I want. Oh yes right now Jezzebel wants her belly rubbed. She is laying on her back looking at me, and I am getting messages sent to my brain, she is saying rub my belly slave. In the middle of the night, I get those messages as well, feed us, or we will make your life hell, you will not sleep or we will just trip you as you get up to use the bathroom in the dark. The comfort of the aliens is my only objective, they have left me no other choice. Oh I am allowed to go to work, after all they have needs. So you want an alien I mean cat? Happy Aliens.

Just Licking.

This is Jekyll. He sits on the couch like a human. The one thing humans don't do is lick their stuff. Well I don't know that for sure, but we won't go there. Yeck. Jekyll is one weird cat he enjoys napping and well napping. But if he wakes up after everyone goes to bed he sets up quite a racket. He will walk through the house howling and making the most pitiful sound you ever heard. If you are sleeping you think the poor thing is stuck with his tail in a door. So I call out to him and he will join me on the bed. Boy takes up a lot of room. I have never ever measured him when he stretches out, but I am sure it is a good two feet or more. Jekyll likes to be brushed, plan on brushing for awhile. If you stop he will follow you when you go and empty the brush out. He will then sit down and look at you like, your not done yet. Jekyll never acts like the other cats. He allows Jezz to walk up to him and sniff, and when she hisses at him for looking at her, he just ignores her. But if he is having a really good day he will chase Sophia around until she sits down and hisses at him, then he just goes about his business like he didn't even have a hand in the whole thing. He is a really cool character. Well that is until the first rumble of thunder. Ah here is my editor Jinx, she just came to check things out. I guess things are to her approval she just laid on they keyboard. well that's all for now, Jinx approved the blog for publishing. Happy Cats.
