It’s International Cat. Actually, here in the Marks house, everyday is International Cat Day. Everyone knows that cats rule the world. We humans are here only to serve our feline overlords. Here are two recent pictures of my two overlords. They have such a rough life, don’t they? I’m off to feed the princesses their…
I think this is Ivory’s favorite place to hangout during the day. At night she likes to sleep on top of my torso or on top of my head. Cats are gonna cat.
Ivory never used to get up on tables. Not so anymore. She’s been doing it more and more. I think she was looking at my parent’s wedding pictures. But who knows. Cats are going to cat.
My grandma loved the peonies in her yard. My brother who lives in the house hates them. However, he hasn’t followed through with ripping out the last of them. And he won’t let me transplant them into the yard at my* house. As usual, they were in bloom on Memorial Day, so I cut some.…
So it’s been a crazy six weeks here in the Marks’ household. I picked up an upper respiratory infection from one of the babies at work right before Thanksgiving. I was sick for a solid week. I was supposed to run the Pigskin Classic 5K. That didn’t happen. I never got my Ohio State tee…
I saw Ivory standing by the cat tower the other day. When I looked at her feet, her front paws looked like they were in second position. As soon as I took the picture, she shifted into first position. She is a lady of many talents.
“Savage Chickens” is one of my favorite internet comics. I especially love his cat drawings. Today’s is a good one. I guarantee Gidgette and Ivory (and the Kousins) would love a cat house like that. Heck, I’d love a house like that, especially if it came with a bunch of cats.
Ivory rarely jumps up on the kitchen counter. That was more of Gidgette’s thing (before the arthritis). Gidgette was known to jump up there and steal an entire hotdog. I caught Ivory up there the other night. I think there was a fly buzzing around that caught her attention. I caught her in this awesome…
Ivory moved from my dad’s bed to mine. Yes, that is a cat bedspread. Why do you ask???
I was vacuuming the other day and I had stacked the deck furniture cushions on the couch. My dad had thrown one of the couch cushions on top. And that’s where I found Ivory the next morning. This picture reminded me of the story of The Princess and the Pea by Hans Christian Andersen. I…
