Lizard Breath

7 Replies

Chris has always been the best lizard catcher in the family. I just don’t understand why he cant play with them outside.

Chris got out last week when I was bringing groceries in the house. When that happens, it is just easier to leave him out until I get everything in the house and then go get him. He spent the whole time eating grass and rolling around on the sidewalk until he knew I wanted him in. He then made me chase him. As he was running away from me a lizard caught his attention and he quickly caught it… Then he was ready to go in the house.

We are in the Cat Blogosphere Calendar of Cats

16 Replies

20161218_cat-calander_676The new Cat Blogosphere Calendar of Cats came out a few weeks ago and, since we are in it this year, I couldn’t not order it. It arrived just before we went on vacation so I didn’t have a chance to look at it until this weekend.

I’m not a very organised person, which isn’t good for a blogger. I don’t write too many things down and some of my ideas for post get forgotten. I even forgot to post about Chris’s Gotcha Day last month. My original thought was that this Calendar would be a novelty and it would end up lost in a drawer but I think that I could actually find a use for it.

My first thought was that I could write down all the national cat days that seem to pass me by unnoticed until it’s too late. As I flipped through the calendar however, I noticed many of those days are already in there. I just have to write down things like Chris’s Gotcha Day.

This calendar was designed by Paula Gregg of Sweet Purrfections and Debbie Glovatsky of Glogirly desiged the cover. It is set up like a weekly planner and we are located at the end of June.

There are many of my blogging friends in this calendar as well but the list is long and I don’t want to mention some while leaving others out. There are also some blogs I have not heard of but need to check out.

If you want to order your own Cat Blogosphere Calendar, you can get it here. If you prefer monthly calendars, check out my post here. Hopefully 2017 will be a great year for all of us.

I just got back from a five day cruise, so enjoy this post from the past while I catch up with what I have missed.

Working on a blog post can be quite a daunting task. It is not coming up with Ideas or finding the right words that are the biggest problem. The hardest part is seeing the screen or typing when a 12 pound cat is standing in front of you or lying across one arm and part of the keyboard. I’m sure many of you reading this can relate.

Bad Cat Chris and Chuck Notice the keyboard is pushed away because Chris was either stepping on it or lying on it.

Even writing this post has been a chore. My little assistant has done everything but actually help. He started by lying on my right arm, forcing me to push the keyboard away and type left-handed. I then moved him to my lap, which sometimes works but this time he jumped down and started biting my legs. He then got up and decided to help me type. He…

Floki’s Cat-Tunnel Adventure

30 Replies

To discourage Puck from pooping on the sofa, I put the cat’s tunnel on it, but didn’t expect Floki to suddenly become interested in playing with it.

Naturally, he liked being inside of the tunnel, peeking out the little window…

But he also liked hanging out the end of it.

It is a great place to stare at the ceiling while contemplating life.

A few strings don’t hurt either.

Even tunnel cats can enjoy a little sunshine.

When the fun is all over, the tunnel is a great place to take a nap.

The Baddest Cat You’ll Ever Love… or Not

8 Replies

Thankfully, Chris is much nicer towards Frankie now.

Charles Huss's avatarBad Cat Chris

I have always found Chris’s bad behavior to be annoying but at the same time loveable, like a toddler that is more adventurous than most. Lately though, that bad behavior has gone from cute to  somewhat mean.

Chris and FrankieI’m talking about Chris’s treatment of our newest addition, Frankie. No longer, it seems, is he the cute, mischievous child but he now acts like the ruthless corporate executive that needs to stay on top at all costs. Okay, that last part is a bit exaggerated, but he has put himself in a position of being “less lovable.” Rose has even used harsher words than that when referring to Chris.

I don’t want to imply that there is a war going on in our house. It really isn’t that bad. Most of the time Chris and Frankie can be in the same room without a problem, although they are by no means friends.

It’s Cat Calendar Time

12 Replies

I am doing a little self promoting here and want to mention the cat calendars I have in my Zazzle store, since they are on sale today. Just look for the discount code near the top of the page. A new year is starting soon and most of you reading this are cat lovers, this would be a great Christmas gift for yourself or another cat lover that you care about.

First, of course, there is the Bad Cat Chris calendar.

This calendar has some of the best photos of Chris from the Bad Cat Chris blog.

Second, there is a calendar from another blog of mine called Just Fur Laughs.

This is filled with funny, captioned animal pictures (memes) that any animal lover would get a kick out of.

Then there is one called “Cats and Kittens.”

This one has some of the cutest pictures of my sister-in-laws cats (with some of our cats thrown in).

The best part is, these are completely customizeable, meaning you can replace some, or all, of the pictures with your own. I did that for my sister-in-law last year and gave her a calendar with 14 photos of just her cats. I thought it was a great way to personalize a gift. You can also check out my Zazzle store here to see all my products, many of them cat-related.

Okay, commercial is over, I now return you to my regular blog.

I was sitting at the computer the other day when I felt a cat jump on my chair behind me. I was busy writing so I didn’t bother to look to see who it was, I just scooted up a bit and continued writing. A short time later I felt like I was being pushed off my chair, so I got up to see what was going on and this is what I saw.

In case you can’t tell by the backside, that’s Chris with his face in the sunbeam and, of course, that is Floki behind him. Does anyone else have pets that take over their chairs?
