Rent-a-Cat
Leave cat ownership to the suckers who didn’t know any better before opening their home to a world of chaos.
Cat-dogs
I’ve always preferred cats because they’re less demanding, less destructive, and less in-your-face than a lot of dogs. Their personalities are also much like mine. Except for these two. There are anomalous cats here and there, so maybe once in a lifetime there’s the expectation of a cat who’s a little different. I got that […]
Shouldering the Burden
There aren’t any earth-shattering cat tales from this week, so I decided to take a scroll down memory lane to see what young Rudy was up to on (the day after) today’s date in 2020. This is from a Facebook post on April 29, 2020 when Rudy was about six months old. That day, he […]
On the Road with Rudy
Eddy may have two cross-country road trips under her belt, but Rudy actually gets out of the car to see the sights. Yesterday, we took a drive up to Cambridge, NY to visit the Thirstycat Fountain studio and to buy one of their top-of-the-line cat water fountains. I’ve been eyeing one for about a year […]
Hot
Fuck this weather. It’s April and I had to put my air conditioners in the windows and turn them on. I hate summer. The cats hate it, too. There’s your cat story. Fuck summer.
Dirt Balls
Rudy started early today. Usually, he’ll wait until lunch to begin looking for trouble, but today we were out the door and on our way to the park by 10am. I let him climb all over the dirt-caked roots of fallen trees. They actually look like gigantic balls of dirt and dirt makes Rudy happy. […]
Rudy’s Schedule
If nothing else, Rudy is reliably bad. His schedule may vary a few minutes here and there from day to day, but for the most part, the below schedule is VERY accurate. 5-5:30am Wake up and chew all plugs that were not unplugged the night before. If plugs are unavailable, chew any boxes, charging cables, […]
Petty Litter
This isn’t exactly a cat story, but it involves cat litter. And the cat was waiting for me in the car when it all took place. And the accompanying photo shows said cat waiting for a treat. I needed cat litter, so I took a ride to Petco on my lunch break. I have three […]
Sweet Sixteen
Eddy turns 16 years old today. I don’t know how she’s able to tolerate this crew of foolish, fantastical felines, but she does her very best every day. One thing that bugs me is that I have to divide my attention so unequally. I figure Rudy gets a whopping 70% of my time and attention […]
Rosie Bites
When Rudy starts bugging her, Rosie opens her mouth. It saves her time when Rudy accidentally sticks a body part near her face. These are from a few weeks ago. This week has been relatively quiet for whatever reason. I think they’re all pissy because I won’t let them fight on top of the wall […]
