Happy Birthday Quincy!

The little orange ball of furry fury is not so little anymore, Quincy celebrates his 2nd birthday today!

Free Kitty Bed from GSN

As I mentioned earlier this month, I cashed in some GSN points for a ThermoKitty heated cat bed
and it could not have come at a better time, it has been very cold and our oldest cat’s arthritis has been bothering him lately.

Soft, comfortable heated pet bed for indoor use

Kitty Christmas Pictures

Oh the things I do to these poor cats (actually they were very good about it and Quincy has been carrying around the stupid thing like it is his most prized possession)

GO QUINCY!

I am sure I have bored you enough with Quincy’s contest, I was so happy when I kept him in the top 10 when the contest ended late Monday night, after a little confusion after the contest finished early and needed to be fixed and then disappointed as I read a tweet was sent saying [...]

Cosmic Bananas?

Cat toys, not bananas growing in space!
These are not exactly frugal, but since they have lasted a while and all of the cats actually play with them, they are a very worthwhile spend.  An online friend had mentioned her cat’s obsession with his catnip banana.  She sent me one but the package went missing at [...]

Contests, a learning curve!

The Ultimate Name Dropping Contest I entered Quincy in closes today, and while he is so far finishing in the top 5, I will be so glad when it is over.  When Matt suggested entering Quincy, I said sure, he would make a great mascot but like many contests, I enter them and do not [...]

YAY GO QUINCY

The joys of owning an adult aged kitten

11:00 pm: hops onto your chest just after you get into bed and licks your face, give him some ear scritches and tell him to go to sleep, starts rubbing his head on you purring as loud as he can until chuck him off the bed
11:15 pm feet get attacked (those darn monsters under the [...]

A shelter rescue

I used to do the rescues from Animal Control for a shelter, it is heart breaking having to choose, having to leave so many behind and knowing you can only help so many.  What hurts most is that with our local animal control that has rescues ‘pulling’ from it – they don’t have an adoption [...]
