The Best of Both Worlds?

For as long as I can remember, cats and women have been pretty much synonymous. But, the truth is that with cats being the most popular pets in America, atleast half of those cat guardians are men.

Yup, according to an article in the latest issue of "Cat Fancy" Magazine written by published writer and Grammy-nominated musician Rick Allen, not only do men love cats too, but there are also a few benefits to having a male partner, friend or spouse who shares their life with cats. For example, men who love and adore cats are known to be "generally nicer guys" and have "higher IQ's." After all, if distinguished and well-respected men of history such as Albert Einstein could be devoted to his cat "Tiger" and Winston Churchill his beloved cat "Jock," then surely there must be something to this!

"I simply can't resist a cat, particularly a purring one. They are the cleanest, cunningest, and most intelligent things I know." ~ Mark Twain

That Kiki Cat

Greetings all! Just a little update on Kiki-girl. Long story short, we brought her home on Wednesday night after her lump removal surgery. While attempting to put her reverse e-collar on her, she managed to get her right leg underneath the collar and in doing so, cut part of her dessolvable stitches. After we were able to stop the bleeding, we had to take her back to our vet the next morning. Dr. Ostrich checked the stitches at her neck and since her wound had already begun to scab over, he advised us to forego the e-collar idea as she was not scratching at it and it would most likely only serve to make things worse. Also, she gave us such as hard time giving her the pain meds (both pill and liquid), he told us that so long as she had not appeared to be in any pain, not to worry about it since it was only stressing her out unecessarily.

She spent a couple of nights in the large dog cage so that she would have some time to allow her stitches to heal and she is now out and about the house with the rest of her siblings.

This week's "Feline for Thought Friday" is brought to you by

Gotcha!!!

Our little Kiki-girl has always been very difficult when it comes to allowing us to take a really good pic of her. She hates it so much that she makes sure to shut both her eyes just before the camera flash goes off on the digital camera (which, BTW, is rather slow and delayed to say the least)!

That being the case, the only way she lets us take her pic is if we do not use the flash at all. However, today while I was playing with her I caught her off guard ... a very rare occurance I might say ...

"Gimme that string!!!"

"You're gonna do what with that camera?"

Kiki kisses!

Another Blogger Award!

Wow! I can't believe the cats and I won another cool Blogger Award!!! This one is the "One Lovely Blog" given to me by another wonderful Blogger friend of mine, the beautiful Eilis from her blog, "Eilis in Wonderland."!

As with many other Blogger awards, one of the rules of acceptance is that I share 7 things about myself that you might not know. So, here goes!

1) I used to have very low self-esteem up until the time I sang in a band.
2) I used to be agnostic many many years ago, but have been blessed to find what I truly believe in!
3) I LOVE Bassett Hounds and plan to share my home with a female named "Guinevere" someday. LOL!
4) I have always wanted to work with mentally challenged and/or "handi-capable" children and adults.
5) I have "lazy eye" which basically means that sometime after I was born I developed a weak muscle in my left eye. As annoying as it is on pics, it does not affect my vision at all.
6) I was engaged twice before I met my hubby of 11 years - we lived together for seven years prior so actually I count that as about 20 years. ;)

7)  I have never smoked a cigarette a day in my life because I can't stand the smell of smoke!

Well, now on to the second part of the award rules. I must now nominate seven more Bloggers for this award. If I could, I would nominate you ALL!!  Here are my picks:

Magic Love Crow

Wiccan Writes

Cottage Tails  

Earthen Magic 

Moments in an Eye

For the Love of Life: Alice's World!

The Feral Life Cat Blog

And there you have it, my friends. Here's wishing everyone a great week until next time!!
