I came home today and saw that the cats had been up to NO GOOD. I walked in the door to find three Da Bird attachments (one still in its bag) and one empty Da Bird bag in my entry way.
Exhibit A:
I then walked into my bedroom to find my sock drawer—which just happens [...]

I wish I could get a picture of all three cats, but Monte has sequestered himself upstairs until very recently. Now that the house is dark and quiet, he feels brave enough to jump on kitchen cabinets, throw up on the basement stairs, and snuggle up in my lap as I type this. Probably tomorrow [...]

I’m baby-sitting a friend’s two kittens, an experience which, although lots of fun, has overturned my fate as the crazy cat lady. Having four cats follow you into the bathroom is a bit much.

One of my co-workers kindly burned a DVD called Cat Sitter for Monte & Clarabelle. It features a 20-minute loop of chirping birds, squeaking hamsters, and fluttering butterflies.
