With Mother’s Day around the corner, I thought we’d honor all of us who are blessed enough to be called mothers with a few gorgeous posters of even more gorgeous tigers. These moms and their babies make me smile every time I look at them. Irregardless of their size, cats are simply the most majestic animals in the world.

by Joi

Cat Measuring Cups

Personally, I don’t just collect the furry variety that purrs and cuddles, I collect other cats as well: Cat figurines, cat art work, cat collectibles, cat books, etc. This is one cat lady who knows how it’s done! I was online earlier looking at cat coffee mugs when I came across the adorable Cat Kitten Measuring Cups / Bowls for Baking, Black White Grey, Ceramic shown above.. I instantly fell in love and knew something I hoped (strongly) that someone gets me for Mother’s Day.

How’s that for hinting?

They’re so impossibly cute that I knew I had to share them with you – in case you need to do a little hinting yourself OR you have a mom who’s a cat lover. She’d love these measuring cups/bowls.

Product Features

  • Includes 4 bowls: 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 1 cup
  • Ceramic
  • Colors: Cream, light grey, dark grey & black
  • Fun and Functional!

Miss Hannah and Little Bunny Foo Foo

Just When You Think You Have a Cat Figured Out

by Joi

My beautiful and sweet Hannah Our normally sweet, laid-back, and  incredibly gentle cat Hannah!

Hannah, pictured above, is the sweetest, most laid-back cat in the world. She’s so sweet, in fact, that a lot of times when I’m talking to or about her, I’ll say “Sweet Hannah,” as though it’s her official name. Which makes her recent behavior so astounding!

For one thing, she has been incredibly grouchy with our other two outside cats, Jelly Bean and Queen Fatima.  A few nights ago, I guess she thought Jelly Bean looked at her the wrong way ’cause she jumped on him and rolled him around. SO not like her!

Something else she did that was highly (highly) out of character: She came bouncing right up to me last night with a baby bunny in her mouth.

  1. She never hunts
  2. She’s too lazy to spend the energy required to make a kill
  3. Unlike Tigger, Hannah doesn’t bounce

I’m guessing that Jelly Bean (the only one that could possibly do such a thing) made like Elmer Fudd, then Hannah took his prize from him. After all, Hannah’s so laid-back and poses such a low risk to anything and anyone that birds frolic within inches of her. I once saw a cardinal land practically on her tail to reach a sunflower seed.

She never even noticed.

Cats are fascinating, aren’t they? Just when we think we’ve got them figured out…. they come bouncing up with a most un-welcomed guest.

This morning, Hannah’s basking in the sun, lazily watching the birds at the bird feeders and all’s right with the world again.  When I fed her breakfast, I asked her about Little Bunny Foo Foo this morning but she just gave me an innocent look and kept eating.  I promised her I wouldn’t tell anyone about the incident – but I never promised I wouldn’t write about it.

Meet Oskar the Adorable Blind Kitten and His Beautiful Best Buddy Klaus

Cat Videos That'll Warm Your Heart!

by Joi

Oskar the Blind kitten is one of the most adorable cats you’re ever going to see. While your first impulse might be to cry because such a cute baby has to be blind, by the time you fully realize how much his family (which includes a beautiful cat named Klaus) loves him – your only emotions will be joyful ones.  Thank God for people who adopt special needs animals and thank God for the special animals themselves because they are especially rewarding.  The people who took Oskar into their family have been just as blessed as Oskar, himself.

Here are a couple of Oskar and Klaus’ videos. Watch them in order to get the most from them.  Such beautiful little boys. Klaus’ reaction to coffee is priceless – I’ve never seen a cat do that before!

Here’s a Cat Picture We’re All Familiar With!

The Ol' Cat in the Sink Routine

by Joi

Cat Sitting In Bathroom Sink
Cat Sitting In…

This cat photographic print is a sight we cat lovers are certainly familiar with. Prissy was crazier about sinks than any cat I’ve ever seen. She had every member of the family trained to get the drips “just right,” then patiently stand by until the spoiled little girl was completely through.

We all even had our own ideas of how she like the flow. My husband would swear that she liked the water flowing in a slow, but steady stream. Our oldest daughter was convinced she preferred it a little faster – and I was certain she wanted fat s – l – o – w drops of water. Funny thing is, she loved it any way we served it and she convinced each one of us we were the one who did it best.

But I’m pretty sure it was me.

8 Natural Ways to Get Rid of Ants

Safer for Pets and Children than Sprays and Baits

by Joi

How to get rid of ants naturally.

Keep your cats, dogs, and children safe by fighting ants with natural, household products. Leave the chemicals in the labs.

Like most people, Spring means more around our house than March Madness, planning flower beds, and welcoming baseball back.  It means it’s time to go to war against invading ants.  For those of us with pets and/or children in the house, we’re always looking for ways to arm ourselves naturally. Fortunately, getting rid of ants naturally can be done.

Below are commonly used methods for fighting ants naturally:

  1. Dust baby powder directly onto ants and around the places they enter your home.
  2. Wash the areas they travel (their little ant highways!) with a 50-50 combination of white vinegar and water. It masks the smell ants need to navigate.
  3. Sprinkle cayenne pepper around their entries
  4. Place bay leaves or cloves where ants enter your home.
  5. Draw a line with chalk across the place they enter your home.
  6. Coffee grounds repel ants (no accounting for taste), so dust coffee grounds around areas you frequently see ants.
  7. In addition to cayenne pepper, bay leaves, coffee grounds, and cloves, ants are also turned away by cinnamon, mint, black pepper, and chili pepper.
  8. Citrus peels and cucumber peels smell great to us but they repel ants. I’ve used both with miraculous results.
