My Cat's Annoyed and I Can't Pee

So I woke up with a Phoebe on my chest. My husband was already shuffling around the bedroom, getting ready for work, and I lay there, pinned to the bed by a cat that wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. I think she was even annoyed that I'd consider removing her so I maybe I could pee.

Yeah, she was annoyed.

The Glory of the Cat Haunch

Yesterday, Cosmo was loafed on the arm of the sofa and his fuzzy little (or not so little) haunch caught some of the light emitted by the lamp on the end table. What resulted was nothing short of glorious.

My Cat is a Huge Pouty-Face

I usually go to bed earlier than my husband hits the hay. As soon as I'm out of the picture, Saffy can't wait to snuggle up with Dad. You know how cats love routine, right? Well, the other night I happened to be up later than I normally am, and Saffy stood around and pouted, noticeably irritated with my presence.

My Cat Has Mad Core Strength

Cosmo makes a perfect loaf-bridge. He must have some mad core-action going on. I'm not afraid to admit I'm a little jealous. Pssst ... don't mention the saggy bit n the middle -- he's sensitive about that.

My Cat is a Counter Ninja

Saffy thinks she's a total counter-ninja. She's so wrong, and she's so busted.

Dangerous Cat-Shaped Pillow Toppers

Have you seen these new pillow-toppers? They come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes; however, they're kind of tricky. You'd think you could lay your head or face right in the middle of the topper, but there are knife-like devices that pop out, telling you this is not so. These pillow toppers are strictly decorative.

Nightmares and Cat Therapy

Sometimes cats wake up in the middle of a perfectly good nap, just to clean themselves, and then they drift right back to sleep. What's up with that? Are they having some disturbing nightmare about having a section of leg-fur out of place? That would be a tragedy. Good thing they wake up and take care of that -- otherwise they'd be haunted, I'm sure of it. My cat doesn't want to wind up in therapy.

My Cat Red-Tapes Me

Cosmo often sits on the sofa arm behind my head. He likes to keep an eye on what I'm doing and makes sure I'm properly representing him online. You wouldn't believe the red tape I have to tear through in order to do my job.

Because a Basket of Clunky Toys is Way More Comfy

Cat logic goes like this: There's a comfortable (and purple!) cat bed available, and Phoebe chooses to curl up on top of a basket of clunky cat toys, some hard and some soft. Oh, and snuggle up with an empty toilet-paper roll.

Do not ever attempt to understand this logic because you will not.

Cat-Sock Drama is One of the Worst Kinds

Cosmo's awfully proud of his dirty sock collection. Any cat would be, right? Even Phoebe cannot contain her jealousy. Sock-drama is one of the worst kinds.
