Cat Wrapped…

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

Ansel is spoiled. That is a given. When his Daddy and I decided to adopt him, we decided we would have a pet, only if we were going to spoil it and give it the absolute best life possible.  Including, I guess, sleeping wherever he wants to.  I didn’t know…and…I do not understand…and not really…but sort of…Ansel likes to sleep…with his head up my butt.  Not really…I lie on my left side…sort of towards my tummy…right leg bent forward and left leg straight…so my legs make an upside down 4…or a small h…yeah, an h.  He waits for me to get settled, then he comes up and plants himself between my legs, curled up with both paws on my left thigh, facing his Daddy, behind me…and his head on his paws.  But next to my butt. He likes it there. That is bed number 1.

I read for awhile and he catnaps, cuz that’s what they do. Once I turn off the light…and he is ready…he proceeds to walk up me…not around or next to me…ON me…to the pillow…HIS pillow, above mine with HIS leopard print snuggie on it.  This…is bed number 2…til daylight.

Bed number 3 is in the doorway of the bathroom…til I get up.  If it takes longer than he thinks it ought to, he mews, just loud enough for me to hear, but not close enough for me to do anything to stop him..like pet him til he succumbs to sleep again…til I do. I’m a fairly light sleeper, so he usually wins.

Bed number 3 is also bed zero…or PREbed.  He will lie there…not every night…some nights…when he decides he would rather not jump into the bed himself, but rather, he should be picked up and gently placed on the bed…where he waits patiently for bed number 1 to be prepared.  Bed number 3…or prebed…is almost always associated with mewing.  Mewing that only I can hear, cuz he knows I will bend to his will. Gah.

I am so wrapped.

Peek A Boo

Monday, June 7th, 2010

As I mentioned…lots of time in the yard this year. And Ansel is now a Catniphead. After he rubs the nip patch and flops in it for awhile…he heads for the shady flower bed:

High or not…he sure does know how to strike a pose.

Ansel’s Garden

Monday, May 31st, 2010

We spend a lot of time out in our backyard. With the economy like it is, we don’t have the ability to travel like we expected to at this point. Ansel loves to travel and loves to ride in the car…but he loves being in the backyard more. So we have put in loads and loads of kitty safe plants. You can find out what’s safe on the ASPCA poison control website. They have a pretty comprehensive database of poison and non poisonous plants for dogs, cats and horses. So, I feel secure knowing Ansel can roam within the fenced in [and fully cat proofed] yard and nom on whatever.

We also planted a small area of catnip for him…which he adores. You can see a sample of his love for the catnip here:

Hey, Y’all…

I’m Ansel’s Mama, Cyndi.  He has become bored with his blog. This is what he does. LOVES something for a few days and then, meh. He’s done with it.  So, I will be providing updates here and there. He may check in, who knows, but there’s plenty of Ansel to be had.  Have some Ansel every day, like I do.  Go on…it’ll make you laugh.
