1.  So, last summer/fall, when Vala first came home with me, and when I first put up her window seat, there was a neighborhood cat who would come by every now and then and they would kind of sniff each other through the screen and talk a bit.  It was cute.

So just now I heard this noise by the window.  Vala was freaking out.  She kept lunging at the ( Read more... )

My cat tree came.  Or rather, Vala's cat tree came.  She has most definitely claimed it.  She now has her own kitty corner.

1.  Maybe it's just because I was a theatre/show choir geek in high school, but men who can sing are automatically attractive to me.  I always thought Zachary Levi (Chuck from Chuck) was a cutie, but then I saw Tangled this weekend and found out he did his own singing.  Suddenly I find him downright hot.

Note to self.  Leave toilet lid down at all times when not physically sitting on toilet.  At all times.

I was, uh, relieving myself when I realized the toilet paper I bought earlier was sitting outside the door.  So I had to open it up to get it.  In runs the cat.  The cat is used to using the toilet as a stepping stool to the counter top.  Guess ( Read more... )

I HAVE ALL THE LUCK RIGHT NOW!

Seriously, this never happened until I pulled out the video camera.  Usually she just climbs up, realizes she can't go any further, and drops down.  Cute enough, but nothing special.  BUT NOT THIS TIME HOLY CRAP FUNNIEST THING EVER!!!1!!

Yes, she's fine.

Now she's running around crazy.  I mean literally running up and down things.  She's climbing up the wardrobe and then making a flying leap to my bed and then circling the chairs and then hopping up on her cat tree so hard it almost knocked ( Read more... )

1.  I woke up this morning with the cat perching above me on my head board.  All I could see was her paws and her eyes and ears peering over the edge.  It was creepy.  But in a funny way.

2.  I have had a spider in my shower every damn day this week.  Always the same breed.  I know it's not the same one because I'm catching them in a bug vacuum.  ( Read more... )

1.  Vala had her second round of shots yesterday.  She cried a little bit but was very well behaved.  They cleaned her ears a bit too.  There's still gunk but no more mites thankfully.  They vet and her assistant kept marveling over how well behaved she is.  They called her an angel.   I told them they should try sleeping in the same room as her ( ( Read more... )

I have learned to deal with a lot of things by myself since I moved out. I can kill spiders all on my own and everything. But one thing I still cannot handle is bats. I grew up in a house with bats, they terrify me. I once woke to one flying over my face, and I spent two hours after my dad had gotten rid of it cowering under the covers. I ( Read more... )
