Livvy and Her Teddy

Rebecca — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:19:07 +0000

It’s been raining buckets lately so we’ve been unable to continue our work on the gardens. We HAVE been hacking away at the weeds, though! The progress is very good, but I can’t get photos because… it’s raining. The yard is looking like Brazil, my son says. All this rain inspires the plants to grow amazingly large and full. Let’s hope we can stave off the Amazon River this year… I’m praying no more of those Hundred Year Floods. We’ve had our quota for the next 800 years, I’d say.

Because I am photo-less, I’ll treat you to a cute little video of Livvy and her Teddy. Whenever Livvy is feeling grouchy and wants to attack our feet, we stick Teddy under her nose. She can take out her frustrations on him. And she does.

Find the Kitty: Yew Mews

Rebecca — Sat, 12 May 2012 03:57:50 +0000

My yews are, um, a BIT overgrown. My excuse is that it’s been raining cats and dogs and we haven’t had a chance to clip them. but the real reason is that I’m TERRIBLE at pruning shrubs. I leave the job to the husband, but lately he’s been working 6 to 7 days a week. The extra dough is so very nice, but the yard is a disaster, lol.

ANYWAY… can you find the kitty?

Livvy and Good Ol’ Snuff

Since I’m not renovating anything yet, I’m content to fill the blog with Livvy escapades. I hope you don’t mind. I really don’t want this blog to become a “cat blog” (as cool as those are) because I think they require tremendous amount of effort and energy. Which I do not have, currently.

We’ve been taking videos of Livvy’s antics FOREVER and I finally took some time to edit a few of them for viewer consumption. We’ve got some doozies, I’ll tell you that. lol.

Here’s one. We got her one of those cardboard scratching post things. She’s shredded her sisal-rope post TWICE and we are sick of replacing the rope. The husband got her a cute little cardboard ramp WITH a butterfly toy and WITH catnip. Livvy has only had catnip once before, so this proved to be an interesting little show. She’s her own walking commercial for how to read more about apidextra.

What is it about pets that makes us inflict them and then watch them with amusement? lol

Our Review of the Amazing Cat Sitter “As Seen on TV!” DVD

Rebecca — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:15:06 +0000

Well, I know you’ve been waiting with BAITED BREATH our review of a cool cat video we picked up recently. It was vigorously advertised, claiming to entertain your cat for hours! Gee, you could almost leave your home for a week’s vacation and the cat would be riveted to the TV screen, right?!

We decided to get Livvy, our Tabby-Point Siamese cat, to give her personal opinion of the video. I won’t bore you with a text transcription of her review results, I’ll just post the video here. Enjoy!

Find the Kitty Friday: Fuds

The princess wants fuds.

Have a great weekend!

She’s a Maniac

Rebecca — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 00:04:41 +0000

I really dread taking Livvy outside. She’s an absolute maniac. But she begs and whines and BEGS and WHINES. Finally, I succumb. Why oh why do I acquiesce every single time?!

Maybe it’s because she does this.

Boy, she is cute when she does that! She’s like a little kid– adorable. zany. CRAZY.

Find the Kitty Friday: It’s In the Bag!

Rebecca — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 21:40:49 +0000

There’s nothing Livvy likes better than when we rip the house apart, rearranging furniture or pulling pieces out to dust or vacuum. She zips around the house, finding all sorts of new things to do and explore.

She also loves it when we get a new package. She’s like a little kid! We throw the packaging material for her to wrastle and wrangle through.

She’s in her glory.

Gotta love kitties.

Happy weekend, friends!

Cuteness Overload Friday

Rebecca — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 23:30:29 +0000

Oh no! It’s Friday! My day got started so quickly that I plumb fergot about Find the Kitty Friday. I apologize to Livvy’s adoring fans.

Well, I haven’t had much time to hash through Livvy’s photo archives. I was going to upload an old video I found of her when she was a kitten (SQUEEEE!!) but I never got the time. Maybe next week.

But for this week, I do still have a bit of Livvy Cuteness.

She’s on the tablecloth, however. >:( I don’t like her doing that. But who can resist such adorable charms?

Well, this weekend looks to be another full one. Spring is on the way. We have a slew of activities planned, gearing up for the good weather. What do you have planned now that the weather is turning nicer? Gardening? House cleaning? beginner guitar lessons? Taking photos of your adorable kittehs?

Have a great weekend, friends.
