I don’t remember the first time it happened. I have a vague memory of it being when Aeris and Gwen got into a spat. Suddenly it went from a two cat standoff to a four cat pileup. Fur flying, cats growling, a rolling ball of chaos. The triggers have been consistent though – one of… Continue reading On Misplaced Aggression
I kept thinking, geez, I really have to update, otherwise my readers (ha ha ha) are going to think Gwen died.…and then today, she did. To be fair, she made it through surgery. She did really well, actually. There was one day where she was very, very uncomfortable, and then she improved quickly. I have… Continue reading Gwendolyn Stacy, Kitty of Valor
For some reason, Gwen has taken up residence in the bathroom. I apologize for the hair. We change out the bath mats and wash them regularly, but she’s a very sheddy kitty. It’s no secret that Gwen has about thirty things wrong with her. She’s put up with a lot for such a tiny girl.… Continue reading On the Sickly Sassico
So, my sweet, sweet boy took the above screenshot from Mass Effect 2 this evening. (It’s the remastered edition, and I HIGHLY recommend it.) Maybe he has a crush on Jack? Who knows, tough tatted up biotics might be his thing. But here’s the rub: *I* don’t know how to take screenshots in game. I… Continue reading Vizzi Knows More About Technology…
I’ve been in a very “set fire to all the things!” kind of mood. Not literally, of course, but I’m just itching to get rid of things we don’t need anymore, and trying to look in those nooks and crannies that usually escape my notice. Well, today I ran across the vet records for the… Continue reading Out of Time
About a month ago, I bought a pillow. Little did I know, I bought a pillow for Aeris. She has completely taken it over, especially at night. Her nighttime routine used to involve her snuggling up between Matt and I for a little while before relocating to a more comfortable location. But now that pillow… Continue reading Aeris Conquers All
When we got Aeris, she was more of a handful than I anticipated. I remembered our quiet, docile, elder cats. I had no idea what I was getting into with a six week old kitten. She was, and has remained, a rambunctious scratcher and climber. When she was young, I threatened many times that if… Continue reading Throwback: On Declawing
(As part of our care club through the vet, Gwen is eligible for yearly x-rays, which I took her in for on Monday. What follows is a post I made on Facebook, which I’m copy/pasting because it sums things up pretty well, and this way, I don’t have to re-write it.) We got Gwen’s xray… Continue reading About the Sassico
I meant to write about this a little while ago – I wanted to wait until I had the whole story, and then time just got away from me. Since we’ve been Gwen’s humans, every now and again, she pees on our bed. It is insanely frustrating, even more so when, for whatever reason, she… Continue reading To Gwen, or Not to Gwen
