Get Adopted, They Said
This is a subject that I am very serious about even though this blog will be more humorous than serious. I am an animal lover, regardless of the animal, and I don't have any patience with people who can't be responsible pet owners. Neuter or spay your animals; take proper care of them; and be responsible. Yes, they are work. Yes, they might be expensive to care for, such as horses. But, if you can't do the proper job, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE A PET! Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now.
Before you pay the adoption fee, there might be a contract that you have to sign.
However, it is worth it for both human and cat.
Now, there may be some things you have to keep in mind when you adopt.
But, that's okay. Make yourself and a cat happy today and do a good deed.
And remember what I said in the beginning.
Remember your promise and look forward to an unconditional love that is amazing!

New Year's Resolutions
Yes, it's that time again when we all dutifully set out to do the things we know we should do to get ourselves into better shape physically, mentally, and emotionally. By next month, not so much! Well, did you know that cats make resolutions too?
Sometimes the resolutions stay the same from year to year because there's no need to change them.
Cats like to get themselves into shape physically too. Perhaps their expectations are not exactly like ours.
As well as getting in shape, it's very important to get enough sleep. This is something cats usually don't have a problem with, but they want to make sure that the routine is not disturbed.
Now, of course, they will help you with your resolutions!
Hope you're smiling now. Good advice from this fellow. Spread those smiles around and let's make this world a better place!

Merry Christmas From All of My Furry Friends!
I would like to share a favorite poem and send the best of wishes to you and yours during this holiday season. Hope you enjoy! May the New Year bring us peace, compassion, understanding, and love. Thank you for visiting.
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring. Not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONNER and BLITZEN!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!

A Miracle
This is the time of year when the word "miracle" seems to be used more frequently. As we go into the Christmas season and celebrate the miracles associated with this time of year, I remembered a story that happened in August. This was indeed a miracle. I would like to share this with you now.
Maxi, the ginger and white cat, is a miracle kitty who survived 11 days on her own after an apartment fire. Maxi's owners lost almost everything in the fire, including "the life of one of their four cats." Firefighters found two alive hiding under the bed. That just left Maxi unaccounted for. They thought they had lost their beloved cat, Maxi. Missing posters were put up around the area, but the owners feared she was buried somewhere under the rubble.
"A lady across the way was praying and saw a cat walking around inside the apartment next to ours. So management went in and found her in half an hour. They called me and told me they found our cat. I said thank you and told them that we could have closure now. But they told me she was alive.", said the owner.
Maxi was taken to a vet clinic near the apartment complex and found to be healthy without any burns or signs of smoke inhalation. The vet said that being a heavier cat might have been the thing that saved her life. At the time of the writing in August, she had lost 3 pounds and weighed 10 pounds.
Maxi may have used several of her nine lives, but she is happy to be reunited with her family, her family is overjoyed to have her back, and they plan on rebuilding their home together.
Maxi is a beautiful cat, as you can see.
When I read the line, Maxi may have used several of her nine lives, it brought to mind some other pictures to share with you.
Thank goodness, I don't have nine lives to worry about. I'm doing good just to manage this one! Have a great day, dear readers.

Things To Be Thankful For
With Thanksgiving being this week, we always take time to look back at the blessings we have and to be thankful that we are still on this side of the dirt and vertical. Thought I would share some of the things we have been thankful for.
We have a nice, warm house to live in where we can be safe and comfortable.
We have plenty of food to eat.
We have plenty of clothes.
We exercise to keep in shape.
We have friends to share many activities with, such as dancing or swimming, plus more.
Of course, there might be some activities we really don't want you to know about! :>)
And, of course, the thing we're most thankful for is family. That is the core of our existence in this household and the thing that keeps us all going. Life may change, but our family is always there for us.
I hope your Thanksgiving was happy, peaceful, and rewarding. My prayer for you, dear reader, is that your life will be blessed and prosperous! God bless one and all.
We have a nice, warm house to live in where we can be safe and comfortable.

A Day in My Life (The Cat's Version)
The alarm clock goes off, but I really don't want to get up! Okay, one, two, three! Here I go. Streeetccch!
Oh, goodness, that feels soooo much better. Now to get something to eat before I go to work. Running a little late, so maybe I'll just have some cereal and milk.
Do I have everything? Lights off, keys, purse, my briefcase. Oh, need to check the computer before I leave. Yup, everything is okay there.
Off to work I go! Have a friend who works with me that I pick up every morning. She's going through a hard time right now, so I want to help her. That's what friends do. :>)
As soon as I walked into the office, I could tell what kind of a day it was going to be! Holy cow!
Thank goodness, it was Friday because it would be all I could do to get through this day. Wouldn't want to have to come back to this tomorrow. Typical problems, but they just seem to happen all at once. There are always the ones who won't admit to the fact that they made a mistake.
The ones who don't work and play well with others or want to be the office idiot!
Well, it's time to put my thinking cap on and find solutions to these problems so that I can get out of here tonight.
After a nice lunch and some quiet time, I'm ready to tackle the problems and get them out of the way.
I'll give the ones who won't admit to mistakes something easier to do so they develop more confidence.
And the ones that can't get along will just have to learn how to fit in!
Okay, my work is done for the day! Thank goodness! Time to get in the car and go home, eat some supper, relax, and take a nice long, warm bath. Oh, yeah!
Uh, where iz me soaps?
Good night, everybody.
