Cats Cat Houses

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Fri, Aug 29, 2008 at 9:30 AM

Did I mention that I'm moving? Well, I am, and it's pretty much all I can concentrate on. One of the stress-items is the fact that I have two cats. One of them is really mellow, but my male cat Bruce is really emotional and fussy, and I'm worried about him dealing with the transition, mainly because he deals with most of the problems in his life by peeing on things. I know we're supposed to keep them in the bathroom of the new place during the moving, for a day or so, but the actual moving date isn't until Monday and he's already pretty sketched out by all the missing furniture and boxes. Any tips would be welcome. So far I've just been giving him lots of love and attention and getting him stoned on catnip every night.

I love that she's wearing that Andrew Lloyd Webber Cats sweatshirt.

"He deals with most of the problems in his life by peeing on things."

That sounds like a couple of friends from high school.

My friend's grandpa lives in Idaho and has a cat barn that at some points of the year houses like 60 feral cats, which sounds like a pretty frightening place to me.

Oh, I simply love pussies! Don't you? They are just ever so cute. So much nicer to think about than all those rude comments about our next Vice President, don't you think?
