Cat Art Print: Sleeping Soundly!

It has always amazed me how a cat can fall asleep just about anywhere and in any position. Not long ago, I had a beautiful, colorful porcelain salsa and chips set out on the counter. I had my back turned, getting together my tortilla chips and salsa ingredients. When I turned back around, Alexa had filled the tortilla bowl with something else: Herself! I guess she thought that was the most exotic and lovely cat bed we’d ever given to her… so special that it was placed on the kitchen counter for everyone to enjoy.

The cat art print above is called Sleeping Soundly and it’s too cute for its own good.

Too freakin’ cute for his own good….or hers. This art print would add a lot of personality to any office, home office, school room – any room for that matter. That’s what I love about photographs and art prints, they allow you to stamp a room with your personality.

Quirky, refined, glamorous, or a little of each – they let you tell the world what you’re all about. And, of course, we all know that broadcasting the fact that we’re cat lovers says all that needs to be said. We have taste, we associate only with the best of God’s creatures, we beat the drum that we march to……yeah, we’re pretty much where it’s at.

And we’re humble.

Except not.

Svenn and Alexa – An Adorable Picture

By

Svenn and Alexa

Svenn and Alexa have been buddying up alot lately. Thankfully Alexa’s “fixed” or we’d have Svenn kitties all over the place. (He fancies himself a ladies man.) For some reason Bo has decided he has little use for Svenn, so he hisses at him whenever he lays eyes on him – even if it’s half a mile away. Methinks Svenn just annoys Bo for some reason. Adam has no problem with Svenn….but then again Adam’s so laid back he doesn’t have a problem with anything or anyone – unless they get between him and food! Not even Svenn’s that careless.

Bo has actually gotten a little better the past few days – he and Svenn were even eating fish off of the same plate last night, so maybe they’ve patched their differences. I certainly hope so, I’d hate to take either one of those characters to be “fixed” – Bo would pout for a month and it’d make Svenn suicidal. A suicidal Svenn would be a very, very, very bad thing.

Carly Doing What Carly Does Best – Scaring Children

Funny Cat Picture - Carly

My daughter, Steph, took this great pic of Carly yesterday. Thankfully, regardless of how it looks, Carly was actually in the middle of a yawn. When Steph showed me the picture, my first question was, “Who was she after?” I was afraid that some other poor defenseless cat was on the other side of her attitude.

She’s not above it, mind you, she just wasn’t terrorizing anyone or anything at the time. At least that’s what Steph says. Carly may have paid her off. She wouldn’t be above that either.

I do love that cat.

She actually was in a pretty good mood yesterday. Steph said that after she posed for a few pics, she let her pet her and even endured a bunch of “sweet talk.”  She has been a bit more agreeable since the changes: I gave her her own box, her own baby blanket, as well as her own table to eat on. She’s still my same mean little girl, mind you, but she seems more relaxed now. I wouldn’t want her to lose her spirit and sass, but I am glad to see her dial down a little bit on the hostility!

New Cat in the Family – Meet Svenn!

By

Svenn

Sweet, Beautiful Svenn

He made it past the one month mark, so we have a new addition to the feline family.  Usually, Carly runs visitors off inside of a week (cats, rabbits, possum, coyotes, dogs….).  But this little redhead has endured her growls, hisses, smacks, and chases.  She’s treed him, like, a hundred times and has chased him around the house twice as often.

But he loves the rest of us more than he fears her, so he has moved right in and is now part of our family.  Besides, Carly’s gone most of the day (she’s a working mother) – out hunting and pillaging.  She heads off around 9:00 am, scowl firmly in place.  Then she comes back between 3:00 and 4:00, sits on the kitchen window glaring in, announcing that she’s ready for dinner.

Naturally I drop whatever I’m doing to serve her majesty and ask about her day.

After dinner, she’s off for more who-knows-what until 10:00 when she shows back up to sleep in her bed I made for her….complete with a little ducky baby blanket.  The blanket may be partly to blame for her foul attitude. I just thought about that.

Anyway, Svenn is a total and absolute sweetheart.  He’s shicken chit, though, if you know what I mean – pretty much scared of his own beautiful shadow. Fortunately we live in a rural area with about 20 trees in our yard, so he always can find a place to take refuge….whether it’s from Carly, who isn’t fond of climbing trees (I mean, why would the predator need to?), a rare visiting feline,  mice, a particularly large leaf….

You really can’t tell by the picture, but Braveheart  has beautiful coloring.  His eyes are the same color as his hair – he’s just a very beautiful boy, and has one of the sweetest natures of any cat.  I absolutely love him to pieces.

Now if only Carly would be nice…

Meet Prissy – A Beautiful Cat With Grace and Style

By

Precious Prissy, one of the most pampered cats of all time.

This little diva is our inside cat, Prissy. She’s 15 years old and pretty much has the run of the house. There isn’t a one of us that wouldn’t walk through fire for her – and she knows it.

If you have an older cat, you know how sad it is to see them start to slow down. She doesn’t make as many jumps as she once did, although I suspect that she just enjoys being picked up and waited on. She also can’t eat the things she once enjoyed because they upset her stomach. That, plus she hasn’t as many teeth as she did in her younger days!

She’s a real sweetheart, loves company and wants to be in the center of everything – whether it’s a card game, tv viewing, blog posting (she’s in my lap) or supper.

She’s part of the family and wants to make sure that we know how lucky we are.

We do.

Meet Carly – A Most Unusual and Precious Cat

By

Carly!

See the beautiful cat in the pic? She’s even prettier in person – beautiful, bright green eyes and amazingly colorful markings….she even has a pretty name and a lyrical meow. We all absolutely love her, as we do all of our cats, to sheer distraction.

BUT, while we’re being honest, I may as well go on record as saying that Carly is a ravenous hunter, has a cantankerous disposition, growls like a Pit Bull (heck, a Pit Bull wouldn’t stand a chance with her), is very choosy about when she’ll allow herself to be rubbed or talked to, and had rather fight alligators than be held.

When she was a kitten, and even up to the age of 2, we always kept triple antibiotic on the counter in the kitchen. We knew we’d need it throughout the day – more than once. We also bought more band aids during that time than all the other years of our lives combined!

Sure, she’s a child of hell, as the Bible would refer to her – but she’s OUR child of hell and we wouldn’t take anything for her. Besides, she has calmed down a little since having her kittens. We were just thrilled when she actually cared for them, we were all watching her closely – every time she bathed them, I suspected that she was just tenderizing them. I’d breath a sigh of relief when the licks weren’t followed by bites. I guess my little girl’s growing up.

When she gets hungry and wildlife is in short supply, she sits on the kitchen window and howls like a wolf. Gosh, I love that cat.

Uh oh, she’s there now. I have a she devil to feed, so you’ll excuse me if I bail. Wait isn’t in her vocabulary.
