Pet Adventures! Take 10

I think this cat is my new hero!
So much so that I think I want a cat of my own.

After my last post you probably think I have lost my mind. I would be a bit concerned if you didn't...
So to answer that yes, I know that I sound a bit crazy but after I explain you'll understand.

As I was getting ready for bed I saw this semi big bug on my wall. Naturally (for me at least) I freaked out before taking the time to see what it was... I'm ashamed to admit that it was a moth.
While running out of my room I had a thought... maybe the cat would get it for me! He could at least get some entertainment out if it.
So I try to call him into my room and of course, he completely ignores me.

And so begins plan B! I go get his favorite toy and lure him into my room until he notices something more interesting.
In the smoothest way possible I get so close to the moth that it flys off and initiates the chase...

At this point I'm freaking out and the cat is totally running and jumping all around my room trying to catch this moth.
Eventually the cat swipes his paw at it and the moth gets slapped against the wall into the floor... where it continues to get slapped around for another few minutes.



It's dark so the pictures aren't that great but if you can see the black spot on the ground, it's the moth.

I would have recorded the ordeal had I been thinking clearly at the time :/

Pet Adventures! Take 9

It's official.... I have become my worst fear, a cat lady.
I may only be pet sitting but I'm passed the point of no return.

You know how I know? My shopping cart.



And to prove my point even further I took this picture at my apartment to show that I did in fact buy these sad items...


See! Even he doesn't approve... Haha

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with any of these items... separately. But together they make 'the dreaded cat lady!'

I really need to learn how to cook, real food and stat!



I also had another quite funny realization last night.


Upright, on only 2 paws this same cat can reach up to my shoulders... while I'm standing up as straight as possible.

I know I'm short but wow!

That just puts it at a whole new level... I don't really know what to do with that information haha.

(Sorry guys but there won't be a picture of that posted. I wouldn't dare try to force the cat into 'standing up' ... health reasons, my health to be more specific LOL)


Today I'll leave you with this thought, one that sticks with the theme of this post.
