Trouble Tuesday

What happens when you ask your cats to please not climb up onto your desk and onto the boxes containing some of your craft supplies?


Winky informed me that my rules are silly and are made to be broken.


Winky will actually try to get comfortable and nap on those boxes. Sometimes she'll spend hours up there. Looks cozy, doesn't it? It's not like there are cat beds or blankets or soft pieces of furniture to sleep on.

Happy Tuesday to all!


P.S. Please note that the pine cone you see in the above photos is just a decorative one, and that my furbabies have all proven to ignore it completely. Though you'll find varying information on the topic, it is possible for pine cones, or for substances or chemicals found on some pine cones, to be harmful to animals. Horses are especially susceptible to pine toxicity. All in all, be aware of the potential effects of any and all items you bring into your home, and ensure that an item is both safe and properly ignored by your furbaby. I'm thinking you all knew that already, though.

Did you know?
Did you know that some sources cite the black cat as being the most popular Halloween costume? Some sources even indicate it's the most popular costume for both children and adult women. There are a variety of store-bought options for black cat Halloween costumes, but it's also known as one of the most common costumes to DIY. I know that I for one was a DIY black cat for Halloween at least once as a child.

Cats and rules don't usually coexist well - MOL!

That spot doesn't look very comfy, but to each his own. I love the drawing. I did not know that about pinecones or costumes.

Well it does look like a great vantage point up on top of the box but it's so tiny, no room to stretch out! Thanks for the pinecone info - we have hardwoods and no pines around here but it's impawtant to know they are dangerous!

Hugs, Teddy

If it's the highest point, then Manny will climb up there! As if cats follow rules other than their own...

Cats don't listen...except to themselves. :)

The way to get them to leave it alone is to try to get them interested. It works.

Nice pumpkin patch doodle!

As you know from my FB profile photo, Mudpie loves laying (or maybe threatening) on my record player. Comfort doesn't always matter!

We hear you, Winky. What are these "rules" of which the humans speak? MOL!
