Big Bella doesn't come to the door when it is open, because she looks outside and sees the snow. It is just not her thing. Lexie, the escape artist got out a week ago and it was only 3 degrees outside. She was out for about twenty minutes if that and she was begging me to let her in the house. A first!! She was sitting there holding one of her paws in the air.

This usually includes changing the antifreeze and flushing the radiator. Antifreeze is deadly to cats and dogs. They love the taste because it is sweet. One should never get the antifreeze sit in a puddle on the ground or leave the bottle open.

I try to find some that are not seen all over the place. Here are a couple that I found that I hadn’t seen yet. I hope you will find them as funny as I did. I think about the times my cats do funny things and wish I could capture it on video. Unfortunately, I never have the video running when they are acting like funny cats.

See we ripped out the dining room carpet so we can put in laminate flooring. We left the carpeting in the living room and just cut it by the archway. This is open war on the carpet. Now only does big Bella think this is great to play with, but Pooh Bear the dog is in on the action.

Except for the dog barking constantly at squirrels outside, the cats have been well behaved. Maybe they know the changing of the seasons or something, because they have not been causing any trouble. That is except for Lexie who constantly meows at the door to go outside every time the dogs go. Other than that, it has been quiet.

My basement door has a hook on it because the cats know how to stick their paws under the door, stick their claws out and pull very hard until the door opens and everyone gets to explore the basement. Then there is the back hall door.

Well they have never met my cats. The only thing I have ever counted on was a storm to bring the oldest Lexie running indoors when she escapes. Well I guess it has to be thundering and lightening out before this occurs because she enjoys being wet. She was out for 24 hours in the pouring down rain. She refused to come in the house.

I have perfectly trained cats that use the litter box faithfully, but I have a lazy female name Jasmine that refuses to lower her butt down into the litter box. She squats, but somehow manages to pee straight out instead of down. This means I have cat urine outside the cat litter box sometimes.

This is becoming an ongoing problem it seems like lately. The problem with cats outdoors is that they can get caught up with different critters that could carry rabies. Raccoons, bats and other wild animals are always prey for the fearless cats.

Yesterday was such a nice cool day that I opened al the windows just two inches so the oldest could not push out the corner of the screen in the windows and jump out. She is great at doing this and it does not matter if they are on the second floor or the first floor. She will jump and not hurt herself at all.

This causes problems for both of us and usually I am the one that gets hurt. My feet do not have eyes and I do not walk with my head down, which maybe I should. I always taught to walk with your head up and your shoulders back, but I am rethinking this way of walking. Jasmine is the worst.

Every cat litter acts a different way when you pour it and when the cat uses it. There are some must needed considerations to think about when you are looking for cat litter. The dust from some cat litters may affect your cat's health. The dust can cause illnesses in a cat. One problem is asthma.

I have not had a Christmas tree in my home for nine years. Lexie, the oldest thinks that trees are for climbing. Although the Christmas tree is artificial makes no difference.

Last night, Bella, Lexie and Jasmine saw a bug flying around the bedroom. Two dogs in bed already, one man and me. Add the cats and a bug and someone is going to get hurt. That someone was me. Bella jumped up on the bed, as I was just about to fall asleep and landed on top of me with all four sets of claws out.

The slightest wrong move means a stampede to the lost forever food. The eldest of all the animals takes her throne on the edge of the counter. If there is any food to be had that does not hit the floor, she needs to make sure she is the first to get it.

A very large boy with a girl's name. Bella was supposedly a girl when I brought her home. A few months later, she finally developed and I learned I had a male in a home with two female cats and a female dog. My house was all females until Bella won my heart. Bella needed a brother, so I brought home Jake. He is a little Pekingese/Shiz Tzu.

If you have ever had kittens or cats, you know how much fun they have chasing things. These cats are into chasing, climbing walls and running around all over. My cats do the same things, except they are usually chasing a fly, beetle or moths that get in the house.

The first crash came in the bathroom. I have make up everywhere. I guess my make up cases were in the way to the window that has a big, deep window seal. Maybe the fly was looking at itself in the mirror. Whatever, the eye shadow looks so pretty, mixed in with the foundation.

Meats are a little different, but when a cat is outdoors, they live on mice, rabbits and everything else they can catch.
