Bath Time

The faucet is on, but it's hard to tell from the pictures. I guess Cats do like water, at least this one does......

The Nanny

If Nay Nay the Cat can put the kid to sleep, I don't care how or where she does it.

The Inside Cat

Nay Nay the Cat is an inside cat. Lucky for her we have an atrium, open air room, where she can still enjoy the great outdoors.

Cats That Read

Nay Nay the Cat enjoying a book. She's thinking of joining
a book club, though she's too busy napping to make
any real commitments, right now.


One of Nay Nay the Cat's very first nicknames, was the Librarian. Many times after coming home from work or play, we'd find five or six books pulled out of the book case onto the floor. In place of the books would be Nay Nay the Cat.

"You put these books on the wrong shelf, again," lectures Nay Nay the Cat.

They're So Quiet When They're Sleeping

See, cats aren't much different from humans. And cats are much quieter than human children. Except, at 2 o'clock in the morning.

"Why is everyone asleep, it's the middle of the night?" yowls Nay Nay the Cat. "Wake up everybody, wake up!"

THROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life with an older cat includes a lot of thrown up, unResolved hairballs.




"Seriously Nay Nay the Cat, you're ingesting a little too much fiber," I say. "You only need a teaspoon of hair a day, not a forty."

But her response is always the same old, "ooo-ah, ooo-ah, ooo-ah," immediately followed by mustard, yellow vomit laced with fur, on white carpet.

A high intake of dietary fiber generally leads to healthy, regular, bowel movements, but not with Nay Nay the Cat. She usually spells out her constipation issues, in skid marks, on the carpet.

Nadia the Dog, is helpful in cleaning up the the big pieces, of either of those messes, but she isn't very detail oriented.

"Nom, nom, nom, meh love kitteh cookees," says Nadia the Dog.

Which is generally followed by shrieking to the tune of, "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, Nay Nay threw up," or "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, poo poo!"

That's my que to come in with the baby wipes and Resolve.

But for the first time in my life I was notified by email, regarding this issue.
