Cat-Tastrophie

Just look at that sweet little face! We had a 'cat-tastrophie', or so I thought. I came home with fresh raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and lots of veggies from the farm stand. Before I put all my fresh loot away, I sat down at my counter to look at any emails I may have received while I was out. Lo and behold, Hopper, who I nicknamed Velcro, as he is always stuck to me, came up on the counter quicker than lightning. I looked down and saw his paw was red! "Oh my goodness, he is hurt" said my brain! I reached for a paper towel and with all my compassion and unyielding love, I went to see his boo boo. No boo boo. The little stinker put his paw right into my two million dollar pint of fresh raspberries and squished a few! When will I learn? Okay, when he stops teaching me.

Our Animals Need Toys Too!

Who needs to buy toys?? Animal toys, that is. Yesterday I came home from the butcher with a brown paper bag. Emptied it out and threw it on the floor and it has entertained the cats since then. I am getting quite a kick out of it as each one is into playing hide and seek in this crinkely brown bag. I put it under a chair so it is out of the way and yes, if anyone stops over there is a paper bag under the chair here, and a big mailing box (for cats only) over there....it's all about the furry kids after all. So...when out shopping for your furry friends, remember just to buy something nice for yourself in a paper bag and bring the bag home for endless hours of joy!
