  • Hello, Big Guy.

    I have been mentally writing this letter since we left you on Saturday. I’m not sure why I need (or want) to write you a letter. You are a cat, after all; you can’t read. You were smart and almost human but you had better things to do with your time other than read. You…

  • Schmitty

    October, 1993 – Saturday, April 21st, 2007.

  • Rough Days Ahead.

    We got a call yesterday saying that Schmitty did pull through the surgery. That’s good news. The bad news is – the really bad news – is that Schmitty’s cancer has spread, which means he doesn’t have much time left and the time he does have left, as well as its quality, is probably going…

  • Pictures of Schmitty at the Hospital

    This is Schmitty. He’s currently in the hospital with colon cancer. So we packed up his favorite bath mat and drove into the city to visit him. I took pictures. I got Schmitty when I was 19-years-young. I am now 33. You do the math. He’s probably the sweetest cat you’ll ever meet. For those…

  • Schmitty Goes into Emergency Care.

    Tobyjoe and I cut our romantic getaway short because Schmitty took a turn for the worse. We left DC on Monday night at about 10 PM. We arrived back to New York City just after 2 AM. We dropped him off at the vet on Tuesday morning. He’s going to be hospitalized for a while…

  • Meow

    We took Schmitty to the vet this morning. Thanks to this post on Gothamist and Jen Blossom (who helped answer questions), we discovered The Cat Practice, on Fifth and 20th in the city. It was a pain in the butt getting there and finding parking but it was totally worth it in the end. Schmitty…

  • Fatty Poopington

    This is an animated gif of my eldest, Schmitty. He likes to roll over. He’s the greatest.

  • Are You Cool All the Time?

    For those of you who live in hot areas but lack central air, I have a question: do you leave your AC on all the time? Do you turn it off during the day? If you do, do you have pets? Does it cost you a fortune? I want to know everything about your AC…

  • Let Me Introduce You to My Little Face Pets.

    When I was 18, I discovered that my eyebrows were unruly. Not only were they really hairy, but also they liked to migrate. You might be asking yourselves, “What did Michele do about it? What did she do about her eyebrows?” I did what any normal girl would do with unruly eyebrows. I started to…

  • Murtha’s Proposal

    Although I only heard snippets of yesterday’s Murtha speech the parts I did hear were unbelievably moving. Who could doubt a man with such a military track record? President Bush, in South Korea, continued on Friday to be questioned by reporters about the debate over Iraq. His press secretary issued an unusually blistering statement responding…
