Who’s the Boss?

The Battle of Vitamix Though Canada doesn’t have the volume of involvement in military conflicts as the United States, they don’t shy away from fighting, and we’re not talking hockey brawls. Canada has taken part in many of the greatest conflicts in recent memory; World War I, World War II, Korea and Afghanistan. Now, it’sContinue reading “Who’s the Boss?”

Cat Got Your Wallet?

All Cats are Gray at Night I stumbled across a story on the world wide web from AZ Animals about the most expensive cat breeds. These felines make Chester look humble compared to the pretentious attitudes that ooze from their photos, and that’s quite a feat, since I thought no creature had a greater self-worthContinue reading “Cat Got Your Wallet?”

Paws, Claws and Gauze

Pussycat Pedicure Chester is a bona-fide scaredy cat. “Run away” should be his motto. He has scared himself chasing his own tail. Strangers, their pets, loud noises, the anticipation of danger; you name it and Chester will always default to the first option of “flight or fight.” That’s a good thing, because Chester has aContinue reading “Paws, Claws and Gauze”

Cats a Gunnin’ and a Drinking, Not Really a Mixing

Kitty’s Got a Gun A New Hampshire man was cleaning his loaded gun when it fell off a workbench and discharged (of course), striking the individual in the stomach.

Researchers; Rebecca Evans, Minna Lyons, Gayle Brewer and Emily Bethell from the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University,Continue reading “Psycho Cat”

Cute, Cuddly and Conspiratorial

Bright Shining Cat Lies Chester was reading the New York Times recently when he looked up and told me the paper had a story titled, “Those Cute Cats Online? They Help Spread Misinformation.” There was a twinkle in his eyes when he said it, so I took the bait and asked him why he seemedContinue reading “Cute, Cuddly and Conspiratorial”

Familiar Surroundings

Cattica Redemption I was trying to make a little order in our basement which is full of boxes and furniture. One task was to clean a bookshelf and make rearranging its contents for better use of the space. Blocking access to the shelf was an old recliner we used to have in our family room;Continue reading “Familiar Surroundings”

Power Flush

Cute, Curt and Corruptive Chester and I were sitting at my computer one day, when I noticed he had an admirer who liked his blog. It’s a website called cutepetsblog.com. I showed him a story it had, titled, “Which One Is Better? An Adorable Puppy Or A Loving Adult Dog?” Chester said, “neither.” “The correctContinue reading “Power Flush”

My Fair Kitty

Inclement Comportment & Deportment On a lazy rainy day, I was sitting in my favorite chair in the family room trying to do a crossword puzzle. I’m pretty good at them too, with the exception of not knowing the answers coupled with my horrific spelling. Chester was laying on the sofa reading the latest issueContinue reading “My Fair Kitty”
