    We’re away for the week, trying to get our heads in a better place. My brother and his girlfriend are staying at our place in Brooklyn so they have been tasked with taking care of our fatties. The road to feeling normal again is proving to be a slow and rather hilly one. I go…

    I get a number of email about cats. Some people ask me questions about their cats that I wish I had the answers to because I do so love these creatures. I am by no means an expert in this area. I just have a deep fondness for them. The latest email I received is…

    I learned Friday that Murray isn’t only a little Internet famous. He’s also famous at a certain emergency veterinary clinic here in Brooklyn. He’s famous because of how much he enjoys chewing plastic and rubber. When I walked into the ER on Friday, the head doctor—like, the guy with his name on the plaque everywhere,…

    Oh, Internet. Please say a few kind words for my feline companion. Murray is at the ER again for ingesting some more of Em’s stuff. We need to figure out why he’s doing this. Someone mentioned PICA. I really need to put an end to this somehow. Please email me or leave a comment if…

    It’s haiku Tuesday! (Another subtitle could be, “A bit of a cop out because mama had a long day at the pediatrician.”) Stole my food again. And chased my paper towel. Wish he was still small.

    Remember the post I wrote about how Emory was terrified of the Fisher Price Glow Worm? That’s the dish we use to feed our cats. Apparently someone decided that Glow Worm was hungry for some canned cat food. All I know is it wasn’t me and Toby was at work at the time. Glow Worm…

    Murray’s first ever (witnessed) snowfall. Snow must be really strange for cats since the little white things resemble bugs, especially when the show is light and fluffy and the wind carries it every which way it can. He was fascinated. I was as well.

    Moving Day! I have a question for you cat lovers out there. We don’t yet have heat or hot water (gas) at our new apartment. It’s not unlivable for a grown adult (the building is “green” so it’s quite insulated) but I am worried about the cats. Would you leave them in an empty apartment…

    I can assure you, this isn’t how it looks. I can explain. Really. Edited to add: Many, many moons ago I read something someone posted on an “I Love My Cat” Flickr group. The question was: “Do you kiss your cat?” I thought, “Who doesn’t kiss their cat?” I kiss my cats every chance I…

    Murray has been out of his mind for over a week. And by out of his mind I mean he’s acting like a kitten again. At first we were surprised by the apparent sudden burst of energy. Where had it come from and why? You know how sometimes you live with someone for a while…
