Sassy cats – No butterflies and rainbows

Some weeks are great. Nothing bad happens. No diarrhea. No barf. Just butterflies and rainbows.

Mollie: Bunny barfed on the floor. Poor Bunny!

Then you have a week like this. First the dreaded barf puddles. I walked into them twice. Once with fuzzy socks (which went into the laundry) and the second time at 3:30 a.m. with bare feet. By the time I cleaned my feet and the floor, I was wide awake!

Morgan: Oh look! Stamp! I have to kill it!

I wrote out the Christmas cards. Morgan thought she would help by eating a stamp. She took a fancy to them and I couldn’t discourage her until I hid them. Fortunately we only lost stamp. There is fur in the box I store the cards in but we’ll save that for next year.

There were bite marks in some of my post-it notes but I could read them. They were stuck to the floor but I found them.

Mollie decided to stand on my chest at 3 a.m. to see if I was still alive. I saw her check off her list next to “annoy Kate.”

Hazel: Me? You think I was on the centerpiece? Do you have real evidence or is it circumstantial?

I’m pretty sure Hazel took a nap in the Christmas centerpiece. Oh well.

As we end this week, I’m anticipating butterflies and rainbows for next week. All the critters here hope you have a wonderful and hairball free holiday!

Author’s note: If you receive a Christmas card from us and it has bite marks, a mangled stamp or a bit of fur, that’s a gift from the management team here. We humans did our best to hide those and keep them away from allergy-prone friends. However…

  1. I just returned from my son’s house where their dog was leaving them little “barf presents” all over the place, too! For some reason a beef bone didn’t agree with him, and there were multiple episodes. At least I wasn’t the one who had to clean them up. On NYE be sure to hide the liquor! I’d hate to think what would happen if the cats decided to party!

  2. I hope your holidays are hairball free and it is butterflies and rainbows going forward. (P.S. – I heard similar stories of barefoot forays to the bathroom in the middle of the night ending up with wet and sticky feet from cat-friend Carol.)

      • Carol will always say it happens after she has just steam cleaned the floor, or shampooed the carpet – in fact she has an old rag-type rug she puts in the corner of her bedroom in an effort for them to head there when they have a queasy stomach … they’ll barf right next to the rug! Thank you Kate – I hope our weather cooperates so I can get down there – so far, so good … maybe a dusting of snow in the afternoon, and that’s it.

  3. We’ve had the same week here. One sick cat with two vet visits…I think Gilda’s on the road to recover. And now Gracie has opened up a couple of her spay stitches. Back the the vet’s office in a few minutes and I see a cone of shame in her future.

  4. Wishing you an amazing butterflies as rainbows week and a Merry Christmas too! I think your cats may need reminding about Santa, though I think they may have the big guy wrapped around their paws . 🙂

  5. maybe Morgan wanted to bring the christmas greeting purr-sonally this year with eating the stamp? I hear you for the recycled food on the floor… either we wear socks or nothing when we play mine sweeper at night ;O)
