Fave Photo: Get Out of My Bed!

We have six cat beds around our house, but our two cats both LOVE this one. I guess he thought if he stared at her long enough she’d move. She didn’t.

He’s the older cat so you’d think he’d try to kick her out, but he’s pretty passive and he’s a total sweetheart. I’ve had this cat bed for years and could never find another one just like it. Guess I should try looking again.

Friday Photos: My Writing Buddies

My writing buddies are in training for the Feline Olympics. They can’t decide between synchronized couch stretching, grooming, sleeping, or staring.

And here they are staring at me…just waiting for me to get up so I can feed them. Sometimes I get very involved with my writing and don’t even notice they are there.

And if I ignore them too long, apparently they turn on their laser beams.

Friday Photo: Should I Be Scared?

Sometimes when I’m really in the zone, writing and revising and writing and revising, I can work for hours, blocking everything else out. I forget to feed myself. And my cats. Well, it appears the cats may be forming an army to get their revenge.

They are multiplying!

By the way, I’m making great progress revising the next installment of MORE THAN JUST A GOOD BOOK. After that it’ll be off to my beta readers for review. I’ll keep you posted on when it’s available on the website.

Video I Love: Oskar, which has me missing my little guy today

Okay, I’m going to get all sappy here, but I love this video. It reminds me of my own cat Jesse, whom we lost a few years ago. He had a toy puppy he absolutely loved playing with and would fearlessly do all kinds of things like jumping onto the couch not knowing what he’d encounter just so he could get to his favorite sleeping spot. If it weren’t for the occasional running into the walls or furniture, you’d have never known he was blind. And he was such a sweetheart. He just made my life so much brighter every day, and a part of me will always miss him.

Oskar (born without formed eyeballs) is the winner of the Friskies’ best cat video award.

ETA: Meant to include this one too:

My Jesse and his puppy.
