1. I rue the day I didn't remain at the ER the night Truffles died

2. One thing I wish I had closure with is Truffles' death. I was unable to get back to the emergency vet in time to be with her at the end, and 10 years later I still don't know if she passed on her own or if they had to put her to sleep. 

3. The basement recently took a turn for the worse when the new furnace went in. I had to move so much around it'll be a miracle if I ever manage to find anything ever again! On the plus side, in one week I made 3 trips to Goodwill and one trip to the landfill with stuff I no longer needed or wanted! 

4. My living room has improved thanks to Mudpie's new cat tree. I've had stacks and stacks of old VHS tapes piled up in the corner (without even a working VCR) but those had to go to make room for the cat tree. I have kept all my DVDs though, and even finally hooked my DVD player up to the new TV I got back in late 2024.

What a Face, Mudpie! #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Woohoo, we've almost made it through meteorological winter! It's supposed to be in the 40s tomorrow (heat wave!), then in the 20s on Sunday and Monday, then climbing back up through next week. We're not out of the woods yet though - our area is notorious for getting a big storm in mid March. We did manage to escape the northeast blizzard without a single flake, thankfully. We still have a lot of snow on the ground from previous storms though. It'll be quite awhile before any grass pokes through! 


My blooper this month is a real doozy. Not only is it blurry, but what a hideous expression on my normally precious little face! I have no idea what was going on to illicit such a reaction. More than likely Mommy was denying me a snack.


That's my blooper...let's see yours!

1. My zodiac sign is Virgo.

2. My Chinese zodiac animal sign is the snake.

3. For me, my driveway and yard bring back memories of Mo. I'm glad he's not having to struggle through this hard winter, but I'll miss seeing him out there terribly come spring.

4. Mudpie is the only thing keeping me from having more cats. She demands to be an only child, and she has more than earned the right to rule the roost!

My New (Used) Cat Tree!

Meows from Mudpie! 

Monday morning Mommy was browsing our local Buy Nothing group on Facebook and spotted this beauty! She's been wanting to get me a cat tree, preferable a pink one, for some time now, but kept putting it off. It's like it was fate! 


Several people expressed interest in it, but the nice lady picked me! Mommy went and picked it up on Tuesday but left it in the car because our new furnace was being installed on Wednesday. 

Yesterday afternoon she dragged it into the house all by herself (it's 5' tall and quite heavy) and set it up in the dining room. She put me on it and I instantly *loved* it!!!



For a number of reasons it's not staying in the dining room though. Mainly it's too big for the space, but also it's in front of the window where the air conditioner goes in the summer. Plus the middle platform which will allow me the best view outside is too high up for me to jump to by myself (I'm no spring chicken!) So Mommy wants to put it in our big living room window right next to the couch so I can step from the couch right onto the platform, which means she needs to move some furniture around!


I've been pretty bored this winter without my sunny door to lounge in so Mommy was super excited to get this for me. 


Feline Friday is simple to join. All you have to do is:

Post a picture, drawing, cartoon or video of a cat (They may be silly or cute).
