Do you know how little kids can be “hams” and just go nuts when you get a camera out? They pose and smile, and turn into little models right in front of us, right? Is it possible that animals learn this behavior also?
My oldest cat, Dizzy, was sleeping on her back today so I grabbed the camera to take a picture of her. The next thing I know, she is rolling around, looking at me, then moving around again, and literally striking rather sexy girlie poses for me.
I only got a few pictures, because the rest were blurry from me laughing and shaking so hard. LOL! I guess she’s just so use to being in front of the camera, that she wants to make sure I get her good angle in the picture. LOL!
Not really, that would be sad
I’m still feeling crappy, but I love my Roomba. I can lie here and die on the couch, while my carpets are getting cleaned. The cats on the other hand, don’t think it’s that cool. They like to watch it run from a safe distance above the floor.

Remember the magical cat we adopted that I wrote about before? I thought I should give you a few updates…
He stopped disappearing, so he really isn’t a magical cat, and that pissed me off. I wanted to own a magical cat, that could just disappear at will, but now I realize that he is just a normal, average, very typical cat, that can find little secret hiding places when he doesn’t want me to pet him.
I’m disappointed, for reals. He seemed so much cooler when he could disappear. I started to think of all the marketing angles I could promote a magical cat, and he failed my business plan.
The lack of his magical skills, and his extreme desire to walk on me all.night.long, while I am trying to sleep, makes me want to post a listing on CraigsList….free to good home/please take this bastard cat. He is a beautiful cat and his fur is the softest kitty fur I have ever felt, but if I wanted to be kept awake all night I would smoke crack, or give birth to a baby. Neither of which is going to EVER happen.
But really. When I go to bed, it’s your time to go to bed. Don’t walk on me, don’t cuddle up between my legs, and please don’t run around the house making your meow bastard sound. No one cares. You are a cat. Eat your food, drink your water, use your litter box, and find a place to sleep that won’t keep me up all night.
Seriously.
You’ve been warned.
Saturday night. 10:23PM. Searching “cats” on YouTube. I have officially became “the old cat lady.”
A few weeks ago I wanted to adopt a couple cats that needed a home, and my family shot down the idea. Then my brother-in-law got a job in Los Angeles, so he was moving. His cat Spider needed a home, so we adopted him.
He is a beautiful cat, which you can’t really tell by the camera phone image, but I haven’t had a good chance to take any pictures with the real camera. He’s afraid of our other cats, and they have been mad-dogging (mad-catting in this case) him constantly. So he has found a few hiding places that we didn’t even know existed.
Who knew there was an opening in the cabinet under the sink, that turned into a cubbyhole behind the other cabinets and the drawers? Who knew that this cat, who had never been at our house, could open the cabinet door and climb in there. We spent DAYS looking for him. It got so bad that we just concluded that he had ran out the door when no one was looking. I was even entertaining the fact that maybe he was a magical cat and had *poofed* himself into thin air…for reals!!
But Spider is a cool cat, and hopefully when the dust settles (or the fur) he will become a great part of our family. I am turning into the old cat lady, I know.
