He’s doing okay….

His sister MARRRRGE! is also doing okay. I’d post a picture, but she’s a little hard to catch these days. Sprier than usual. Both cats seem a bit relieved that Tigger’s gone — as if they knew she was suffering. Either that or they’re happy they get more of me for themselves.
Am I still a cat lady if I only have two cats now, though? I feel so, SO different. Almost like a normal person. Alas. But I’ll always be a cat lady inside, right?
Anyway, I’ve had the busiest weekend of my life, hosting a birthday party for Monkey WITH 25 kids of various ages. Originally, I thought NO ONE was coming. But, then the-week-before-the-party arrived, and EVERYONE RSVP’d “YES.”
And, then there was this evening’s festivities: monkey’s friend’s birthday party with the CLOWN. Only two children screamed in fear. Not bad. Not bad. She was a bit of an angry clown with only a hint of alcohol on her person. But, the kids liked her, and they loved her truly fancy magic tricks and balloon animals.
Why am I telling you all this? Because I owe you another BLOGHER post. Part II. The TIM GUNN edition. But, I’ve been through a lot the past few days, as you know. And this is all I got.
In the meantime, I leave you this little piece of cat parenting advice for which you will thank me (cat lady extraordinaire) one day: NEVER LET YOUR CAT STAND ABOVE YOU OR YOU WILL LOSE ALL POWER IN THE RELATIONSHIP….

…IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY.
Love.

Don’t worry, you are still the crazy cat lady! Oops, you didn’t mention the crazy part, did you?!
Great shots of Minden!
I was at the Bier Markt on Friday, keeping an eye out for you in that ‘hood

Minden is the BEST! So cuuuutttteeee!!! And such a poser
You’re still a cat lady. Being a cat lady is more in the attitude towards your furry friends than in the number of cats you’ve got!

OMG, I LOVE the picture of you looking up at Minden. Holy crap, that’s so funny! You are brave, my dear, for allowing him the upperhand.
Yes, once a cat-lady, always a cat-lady. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in… and now we have Mittens. But we love her.

That picture of Minden is ADORABLE!!
You’re still a cat lady. Although, I also have 2 cats and I totally am not a cat lady. I think it has to do with personality

Seriously? The owner can have power over the cat? I’d never have imagined!
