Prime Real Estate

Instead of using any one of the three sections of the cat condo available, they both choose to sleep in the "top bunk." You can't tell, but they are literally on top of each other. Poor Elvis got the short end of the stick. I think it's just a case of boys being boys...both waiting to see who will move first. Silly Cats.

I'm Totally Confrused

Please ignore this hideous excuse for a post. I wanted to relate a quick story about a new reflector I was trying out and how cute the kitties were when they saw it, but now I am going to have to spend the rest of the night figuring out what the heck these blog people did to my poor little blog. Everything is wonky and I have no idea how to post the way I want to. All of the settings are off and the pictures...ugh, don't even get me started on the pictures. I have a really awesome treat for everyone(I taught Elvis to give hugs), so hopefully I can figure all this out by tomorrow so I can post a video. Until then..

They're Both Winners In My Book

I have been so focused on Elvis and his contest entry that I neglected to provide adequate photo coverage of Albert...He let me know early this morning exactly what he though of this oversight..Let's just say, somewhere in the pile of shoes pictured above was a yacked up hairball with my name all over it. I don't know if you know, but it is really hard to get yack out of suede.

Woo-Hoo!!

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the help picking a photo to submit for The Pioneer Woman cat photo challenge. Out of thousands of entries, we made it as one of the finalists. Winners announced tomorrow. There are some phenominal entries so go check them out.

I think I might enter this in a photo contest. What do you think? Which one do you like best?

Foot Fetish

I have an elliptical in my living room. Albert is enthralled. When I first started using it Al would sit and stare, lost, I thought, in the rhythm of the machine. Now I know better.

Albert likes shoes. In particular, my gym shoes. The stinkier the better.

He waits for me to get down, remove my shoes, and then attacks. He rubs his face against the laces and takes a big ole whiff from inside. Then he sits next to the shoes and naps.

Umm..Ok. I think I'll leave this one alone for now.

I received this via the comment section and am happy to re-post..

"To all cat and pet lovers,
I am writing on behalf of the Elmsford Animal Shelter in New York. We are the largest no kill facility in the area, home to some
1000 animals (dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and other small household pets). We have been in existence since 1931 taking in many animals that would otherwise remain homeless or worse. Owing to the current economic downturn, our shelter is in a dire financial crisis facing closure in the near future. We receive no govt funding
and rely solely on public donations. I am appealing to all bloggers and pet lovers to help us in our time of need. I need help getting the word out. (Not an experienced blogger) Our website is www.elmsfordanimalshelter.com.
Please view our site and make a donation of any amount if you can afford to. Also, and just as important, please get the word out that we are in need of assistance. Thanks in advance.
A fellow animal lover in New York."

We will make a donation but wish we could do more. Good Luck from our home to yours.
xoxo Cori, Albert and Elvis

Hell Hath No Fury Like A Cat

Don't let the innocent fur face fool you. This one is Evil. I heard the kitty yodeling and felt the head-butting and still I stayed in bed this morning. I just wanted five more minutes of sleep. I didn't realize my cat thought he was starving to death. All of a sudden I hear a splash and the unmistakable sound of the cat food bowl being turned over. The following pictures are not photoshopped. My cat is a magician.

How do you do this? The water bowl was completely empty and balanced ON TOP of the food bowl sitting UNDER the food mat. WHAT?
Also, notice THERE IS FOOD IN THE BOWL. What does this cat want from me?

The glare is due to the water drenching my kitchen floor.

And of course, there is the drowned, water puffed cat food getting soggier by the second. Might I add that I only had one paper towel left. I just love cleaning water off of the dirty kitchen floor with my bath towel.
