Sunday Selfie 04 : Lettuce Girl

We are joining The Cat on My Head for this week's Sunday Selfie!

This is my diva girl Cleo who loves romaine lettuce! Perhaps it's the crunch or texture that she likes, who knows! She is ALWAYS getting to mischief, eating things she's not suppose to, getting on top of the cabinets, hiding toys under the fridge, the list goes on...but still my diva girl!

I wanted to blog everyday as a goal this year but not likely as I am still waiting on some things to finish up with the remodeling, then wait for the final inspection. Once we get the final inspection I can start arranging furniture and finally be able to call it my home! Was out of internet for a while and now my laptop is sort of malfunctioning but we will make it work. I got sick with a cold (negative for COVID, thank goodness) pretty much as soon as the year started haha and I'm still recovering, bleh! But I'll be ok.

How is everyone's 2022 going so far?

My "resolutions" (more like work in progress because why wait for a new year to start doing something right?) for this year is :

- start driving more and get in some more practice
- finish the house, start on the downstairs portion
- take some horse riding lessons

- spend more time with my cats

- take Chief, Cleo, and Zorro out on more walks

- set up a catio for the kitty crew

- finish my last semester (class starts tomorrow!!)
- manifest my second home (hopefully in the next 10 years, but a girl can dream)

- do only the things that bring me joy and happiness!

- no more negativity, bad juju, bad vibes, negative people

Sunday Selfie 03 : Rosie

Sunday Selfie is brought to you by The Cat on My Head. 

Rosie is quite a lovable character. Her previous owner had named her Artemis, but I just call her Rosie even though I made up this ridiculous long name for her Penthouse Princess Rose "Rosie" Royce. She has an incredible appetite for an 8 pound cat, she will eat, and eat, and keep eating until all the food is gone. She will 1) eat everyone's leftovers 2) spend at least an hour finishing up the food 3) get into unopened bags of food and go to town 4) find food in places I didn't even know had food...

Rosie is extremely, EXTREMELY food motivated that she can easily be clicker trained. She knows a few tricks though the one she likes is fist bump by touching your hand hoping you will give her food. She's also so food motivated that I got a SureFeed Microchip Feeder for Chief (since he eats very slow) but Rosie already figured out how to beat the system....She's a spoiled kitty.

Sunday Selfie 02 : Chief

Another Sunday, so here is another Sunday Selfie hosted by The Cat on My Head. This is my favorite shot of Chief, my Maine Coon. He loves going outside, to the yard, to the neighborhood park, and sometimes he will try to whine and whine until he gets his way. I always walk him on a harness, and the one I use for him is the Supakit Cat Harness and the backpack is from Your Cat Backpack by Travel Cat. He enjoys going out during the daytime, when the sun is out because he loves basking in the sunshine and rolling around in dirt!

Apparently cats love to roll around in dirt, but we do not 100% understand why. Perhaps they want a dirt bath, or maybe instinctually to mask their scent by covering themselves with the environment making it harder for predators to find them, or perhaps they are just enjoying themselves and expressing their contentment? Those who have indoor/outdoor cats or let your cats outside does your kitty display this behavior?

I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who visited or commented on my blog, I see you and just know I visit each and every single one of you! I'm amazing at just how many cat bloggers are out there and some of you have been blogging for many years! Happy to share the love for our feline friends.

Sunday Selfie 01 : Mia

 

Hi Everyone! I am participating in my first Sunday Selfie Blog Hop hosted by The Cat on My Head. It's my first post so I hope I'm doing this right. For this week I want to introduce you to my lovely gal Mia who is 20 years old and you can see Coral who is 16 in the back. Mia is such a sweetie, purr machine, and lap kitty. Triple Threat! Mia and Coral lived together for about 15 years with an older woman who needed to move across the country and they found themselves at We Care Animal Rescue for about half a year. They were not advertised as a bonded pair but I beg to differ, both came home with me that day!

Mia spends most of her time on my bed, but don't let her age fool you, she is quite nimble and still occasional gets the zoomies! I've woken up to her running up and down my bed dashing past my head. She gets excited when I come back and meows which is the cutest thing (though her voice is mostly gone so her "voice" is very very tiny). She does have Stage II CKD and I do give her Sub-Q Fluids which you can see in the back of the photo. She doesn't like it much, will tolerate it but sometimes she will run off so fast before you can even say "Where did Mia go?!"

She absolutely loves headbutts and will not take no for an answer. She climbs up close to you and give you little wet nose kisses while purring loudly ♥
