Cat TV

Ericka and I put on this show that was developed for cats, mostly we put it on as a goof, but the cats were, in fact, very into it! It featured footage of various birds in a woodsy environment and it really brought out our little guys' predator natures! In terms of entertaining cats, I rate this show 5 out of 5, at least based on One-Stocking's, Wispurr's, and Trinket's reactions.

Where's Wispurr??

Happy New Year, where's Wispurr?

 

How Now?

One of many treasures Ericka has collected over the years is her set of "Colonial Cats," a series of cat dolls released when she was a little girl. Each cat doll represents one of the original 13 American colonies. 

 RE: post title - “How Now?” is one way colonial Americans greeted each other.

Post-It Cat

"Post-It Cat," a cat made from post-it notes by Ericka Reeb and Carmen Ricker at Dana Point Library, where it hung for the first half of 2014. 

Here it is hanging in Laguna Beach Library, where it remained until the end of that year.

Viva Mexico

I don't know that I want to formally visit Mexico, but it was pretty fun as a quick cruise stop.

 

Dancing to the Litter Box

Regrettable Purchases: Rabbit Feet

While I was buying some supplies for the cats at our local pet store, I noticed a bag of dried rabbit feet on the shelf and asked about them. The manager told me cats love them, so I splurged on a bag as an exotic treat.

Turns out, the cats were completely indifferent, if not outright disgusted. What a rip-off! I’m pretty sure those things are meant for dogs, though not long after, I never saw them on the shelf again so maybe nobody likes them. What a weird product!

Machete hated them.

Cat Scan

Machete’s unintended self portrait after she fell asleep on the scanner. In the resulting image, you can discern a couple of paws at the bottom. Suitable for framing.
