Please don’t buy me this for Christmas.

Admit it, over the years you’ve received some truly awful holiday gifts. No matter how well intended, that 1,001 Uses For Fruitcake recipe book sucked.

So this season instead of making a list of the things you want?

Make a list of the things you don’t.

I’ll start…

.

.

I don’t want a set of cat butt coasters with strategically placed pink dots. Nope.

Not now, not ever.

.

.

Santa’s Sweaty Sack?

Santa is everywhere this time of year, but perhaps we should try to reduce the trauma to our children and leave his odiferous sack out of the equation.

But topping the list of things I don’t want for Christmas?

.

.

Urinal shot glasses.

.

.

That gift is a sure way to get yourself barred from the man cave.

Cocktail tweaking and a very spoiled cat.

14 Comments

.

As you may know, I enjoy a cocktail now and then.

.

.

So it should come as no surprise that I enjoy the occasional cocktail tweak as well

Here are two I’ve just discovered but have yet to try…

.

.

Thyme and orange G&T’s sound fabulous.

.

.

A drop of blackberry jam in my Cosmo?

Why not!

( Though I can guarantee you my quantity levels will be considerably higher. 0.75 Oz of Cointreau? Bitch, please! )

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten does not require cat food tweaking and is perfectly happy with his Fancy Feast. This does not mean he isn’t spoiled rotten in every other way…

.

.

Yes, he’s commandeered my heating pad, and yes… if we don’t turn it on when he pounces on it we get the look.

More random nonsense

First I brought you wine for cats. Now?

There’s kitty ice cream.

.

.

I’d ask if this is really necessary and why I couldn’t just let Dudley lick from my bowl…

.

.

But I’m not apt to partake of a frozen dish of sugared mackerel anytime soon.

.

.

Oh, if looks could kill.

Quick, get him some feline wine.

.

.

Finally… a sensible use for the crock pot collecting dust in my closet.

👍

.

.

Is that just me…?

It could be worse.

Naming a new pet isn’t a difficult process, at least for me.

.

.

I’ve always been able to spend a little time with them and discover their rightful names. Like Lord Dudley Mountcatten.

.

.

It just came to me, and to be honest, I think it suits him perfectly.

My husband disagrees. And of all the pets we’ve ever had, this is the one name he refuses to use.

Does the Royal title put him off? Perhaps.

Is it too much of a mouthful? Maybe.

But as I keep telling him, it could have been worse.

If you and your sweetie are looking for something oh so precious to wear for Thanksgiving this year?

Look no further.

.

.

Now isn’t that just special?

🤢

My attempts to channel a porcupine acupuncture treatments continue, and though my improvement seems to have slowed, it can still get colorful.

.

.

Do you have a cat that chases the sun from room to room?

.

.

We do.

.

.

And last but most assuredly least, the newest treasure my crazy FB algorithm has dropped on my feed.

.

.

I’m not sure what disturbs me more… the Funk No moniker, or the free floating disembodied nostrils.

.

.

Well yes, there’s that as well.

🤣

Walkies? More like Sitties….

10 Comments

.

Walkies with Lord Dudley Mountcatten are continuing since the weather has been warm and cooperative. (It’s Maine. Anything over 10 degrees is considered warm.)

.

.

Dudley enjoys his time outside.

.

.

Though I have to admit there’s not a great deal of walking going on.

.

.

These pics were taken over the course of an hour.

.

.

And involved circling this flower bed two dozen times in search of mice.

They could be twins.

When it comes to collecting crap stuff, my husband is the epitome of the phrase ‘the thrill is in the hunt’.

He’ll tirelessly scour flea markets and antique stores for that just right piece of crap treasure….. but once he owns it? It will languish in the closet or be left in a deserted corner to gather cobwebs.

And now?

His cat is displaying the same traits.

.

.

Yes, that’s a half dead mouse.

.

.

And just like his father….

.

.

After he hunts it down, Lord Dudley Mountcatten could care less what becomes of it.

Because we love him and he’s simply too cute.

.

.

Walkies are still proceeding nicely. And though I haven’t had to scramble up a tree after him again….

.

.

That doesn’t mean he’s not thinking about it.

.

.

And like the rest of us, Lord Dudley Mountcatten has put on a few extra Covid pounds. He used to be able to slink under this shelf, now he just gets stuck half way in.

.

.

I’m not sure why, but Dudley will walk around the barn…

.

.

But will never get on the porch. If I pick him up and put him there? He jumps down as if burned.

Conclusion: Cats be weird.

.

.

And tired.

The beast must sleep 19 hours of every day. If I sound jealous, it’s because I am.
