Happy Caturday everyone, and enjoy this 30-second video of Gidget subduing her birdy toy. Fun fact: since this video was filmed, she has successfully stripped this toy of the very last tail feather it had had 😆 Vicious!

Been so caught up lately dealing with mostly-stressful things that I haven’t been posting much 😓 Still, I should try not to miss Caturday! Enjoy the Gidget pic and hopefully I’ll have energy to post more again soon.

This Caturday, Gidget is enjoying this setup that Vivian put together for her: her favourite black, fuzzy blanket, folded up and placed within her favourite plastic laundry basket 😆 She gets to enjoy being in a box, with visibility out through the sides, and a cushy surface to lie on!

I thought of posting something not-very-original about the difficulty of explaining to my cat that DST is over so it’s not lunchtime yet, but who am I kidding. This is the cat who woke up my partner at 1:30am today to feed her breakfast. Never mind daylight savings, she’s out here living on Alaska Time

Gidget’s enjoyed a lazy Caturday this week! (Well, I guess every day is a lazy Caturday when you’re a cat…) Must be nice to lead such a relaxed existence…

Every time I take Gidget “out on a walk”, this is how it ends up – with her just chillin’ on this aircon exhaust unit a scant few metres from our front door 🤣 As soon as our neighbour came outside, though, she decided she’d had enough outside time and wanted to go back in FAST!

Seems like it’s been ages since I last posted anything to this blog (!) but I might as well break the drought with a Gidget pic 😊 Happy Caturday, everyone!

It’s Caturday once again, so here’s a photo I took of a cat I saw on my walk to the supermarket the other day 😅 It didn’t run away, but it did keep me under VERY close watch until I moved on!

My folks have gone away for the Labour Day long weekend, so we’re looking after Gizmo! So far today he’s:

  1. tried to trick me into thinking he’s too depressed to eat, then abruptly lunged and snarled at me when he thought I was going to eat his dog food 🙄
  2. tried to trick me into thinking he doesn’t like dentastix any more, and needs better treats
  3. rejected Gidget’s overtures to play with him at least twice (!) although to be fair, on one of the occasions he was asleep and Gidget woke him up with her surprise attack
  4. settled down on the bed with Gidget, as you see in the second photo
  5. gone on an exciting beach walk where he met other little dogs, peed on lots of bushes, and had a dunk in the ocean water
  6. settled on the couch with me and Gidget while I watched an episode of Doctor Who
  7. heard a cat meowing angrily at another cat outside, then ran to Gidget and me, barking to raise the alarm about this emergency situation

It’s Caturday (still for another few minutes) and Gidget is NOT feeling it 😅 I think she wishes she could zip her igloo up to hide from the human pawpawrazzi!
