.
It won’t take long, I promise.
.
.
That’s an easy one.
I’d trade places with any cat who ever lived with us.
.
.
They’re loved.
(Frank)
.
.
Well fed.
(Mr. White)
.
.
Spoiled.
(Bubba)
.
.
And indulged.
(Cracker)
.
.
They also have two human servants who cater to their every whim.
(Lord Dudley Mountcatten)
So yes, I’ll say our cat.
❤️
How about you?
What animal would you trade lives with….
.
.
Continuing with my cat theme..
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten steals my ponytail holders on a regular basis. If I take one off and place it on a table?
It’s gone.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten steals the bookmark right out of my book. It has ribbon on the end and if I lay the book down?
It’s gone.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten loves bacon and has been known to swipe sandwiches off my plate. If it’s within reach?
It’s gone.
What does your cat burglar steal?
And if you aren’t lucky enough to be owned by a feline… what does your dog, bird, iguana or hamster burglar steal?
.
.
Because it’s Friday and that’s what we do here.
.
.
My roommate put a dead (headless 🤢) mouse in my shoe.
My roommate comes into the bathroom and watches me pee.
.
.
My roommate hides under the bed and attacks my ankles as I walk by.
My roommate likes belly rubs when he’s high on catnip.
.
.
How about you…
What does your roommate do?
(If you’re not lucky enough to share your space with a feline, feel free to substitute dog, hamster, bird, lizard etc)
.
.
My husband has been knee deep into his coin collection of late. Sorting, researching, pricing and organizing.
.
.
Which means Lord Dudley Mountcatten for the assist.
.
.
No matter how many times he’s politely relocated to another room?
.
.
He finds his way back.
.
.
And helps, in true cat fashion.
.
.
It’s the price you pay for being his favorite person.
.
.
❤️
.
.
Remember a while back when we stopped at that wonderful old general store in New Hampshire?
.
.
Well, I finally got around to baking that bread and it was fabulous.
.
.
Crusty and dense,…. with a big slab of butter, it was almost a meal in itself.
.
.
Our recent dusting of snow left evidence of critter visitation overnight.
.
.
And how cute is that.
.
.
The verdict is in, you should get a cat.
.
.
But not this one.
.
.
As tax time looms, I’m just going to drop these charts.
.
.
If they don’t make you grit your teeth, nothing will.
.
.
I do.
I really do…
.
.
🥴
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten does not exert himself unnecessarily.
.
.
Or at all, honestly.
.
.
Cat life is good.
.
.
The moon has been amazing lately, but I never manage to take decent photographs of it.
.
.
Doesn’t stop me from trying though.
.
.
Shout out to Grace at Just Tawkin’ for recommending this beautifully written, heartwarming, and simply wonderful book.
You’ll never think of an octopus the same way.
❤️
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten loves his blanket during the winter months.
.
.
And woe to the human who thinks about removing it from the couch.
.
.
His Lordship has my husband well trained.
.
.
He knocks his favorite mouse off the ottoman…
.
.
And my husband catches it.
.
.
Again.
And again.
And again….
.
.
His Lordship is an odd fellow and has been known to sit and stare at nothing at all.
.
.
Yesterday morning it was the sun.
.
.
Lord Dudley loves his mouse.
.
.
And often goes full on penguin, tucking it under his belly.
Is he trying to hatch it?
Time will tell.
.
.
Because my life is full of it.
.
.
Geesh, it’s hard enough to win a championship when you’re deaf… but dead?
That’s seriously impressive.
.
.
In case you were wondering.
.
.
Ugh.
The pickle algorithm has struck again.
.
.
Substitute cat for dog at this point, but the sentiment is the same.
.
.
It takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’.
.
.
Maybe Star Trek was onto something.
Long live Veeger.
.
.
Having only had cats as pets for the past 20 years, I was completely unaware the following service was available for dog owners.
.
.
Yes, there’s a company that will come to your house and dispose of Fido’s waste for a fee.
.
.
After seeing this advertisement and having a good chuckle?
I did further research.
.
.
Poopocalypse?
.
.
Kudos to the marketing teams.
.
.
Free belly rubs.
Who doesn’t love that?
.
.
Yes, there really is a company called Doody Calls.
.
.
They even have a truck.
🤣
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten stretched out beside me yesterday while I was reading ….
.
.
And his head made a perfect resting spot for my bookmark.
.
.
His Lordship was not amused.
.
.
And oh yeah, I’m going to pay for this.
If not now…
Then soon.
Feline revenge is a dish best served cold.
🤣

River's world.....
