So I have some friends doing a blog post per day for the month of June, and I decided to join in. I was going to post something profound, but we had this kind of night:
It was awesome. I’m going to bed.
Cat nightmares
March 11, 2010
Tonight, Celine was working on her paper in the bedroom with Tortellini (our handi-capable cat) fast asleep at her side. With no warning at all, Tortellini jumped up from her dead sleep and began running. Right off the bed, onto my nightstand, where she knocked over my lamp and scratched the table with her claws from moving so fast. She ended up on the floor, and ever since then, she has regarded our bed with extreme suspicion. If I try to put her on the bed (a mistake I only made once), she totally freaks out and heads back to the floor again. She’s stalked around the bed repeatedly, and she’ll occasionally sneak up to the edge and stand up on her back legs to look on top of the bed itself, but she’s not getting back up there.
Welcome to our life. Who knew cats could have bad dreams?
- Breakfast: Granola bar
- Lunch: A weird drawn out snackfest of pita chips, carrots, hummus, salsa and corn chips
- Dinner: a Falafel bowl at Venti’s, along with some sweet potato fries. There was a yogurt sauce, but not much of one.
- Drinks: Coffee, water
Cats and leashes
April 21, 2009
I forgot to post about this the other day, but we took our cat Tortellini for a walk on Sunday. We’ve begun the undertaking of trying to train our cats to use a harness/leash combo, and so far it’s been at least mildly successful. Still, a cat on a leash looks pretty weird:
That’s about as far as we got, she didn’t really know what to think of the great outdoors. In case you’re wondering, that’s a bag of treats in my hand. Those were dangled in front of her to get her to a) move, and b) not chew through her harness. She got a lot of treats.
Next up: train our blind cat to do this. Pictures to follow when they are warranted.
