Boss Cat

Very close up photo of Princess, a seal-point rag doll cat. Caption reads: “I’m in charge now. OK?”

Boss Cat by Princess Cat Bumpy Cat used to come downstairs, and order us around.  If Fanta and I (or even the human) didn’t do what Bumpy wanted we were in big trouble. Well Bumpy’s gone now.  Debbie is living upstairs with the upstairs human, and she doesn’t come down here much. This caused what…… Continue reading Boss Cat

Rain

Photo: Fanta, a brindle Staffordshire bull terrier (staffy), looking sad, lying on a red couch. Caption reads: "It's raining."

Rain by Fantasia Dog It’s raining. That means outside is no fun, and unless the rain stops the human and I won’t get our walk.  That makes me sad. On top of that the human had to get up early today, which woke me up early, so I’m tired. I’m a dog having a tired…… Continue reading Rain

Thinning the Floof by Princess Cat We’re past the middle of summer, in the last month of it, but someone didn’t tell the weather that. It’s just getting hotter and hotter.   I know my floofly hair is beautiful, but it gets a little hot. The human says she understands because her hair gets hot…… Continue reading Thinning the Floof

Hot

Hot by Fantasia Dog It’s too hot. It’s too hot to go for walks. It’s so hot I don’t even want to go. It’s so hot the air conditioner can’t cool the house down. It’s so hot I don’t want to sleep on the bed snuggled with the human.  I lie on the floor and…… Continue reading Hot

Bed

Bed by Fantasia Dog The human sets an alarm on her phone for when she plans to wake up. Then she sleeps through it. Sometimes she plans to go somewhere in the morning, and misses out because she doesn’t get up in time. You might not know this about me, but I’m a watch dog.…… Continue reading Bed

Evasion

Princess, a seal-point ragdoll cat, sitting beside a couch. Caption reads: "I'm evading grooming."

Evasion by Princess Cat The human is getting better, but still coughs a lot when she moves. I recently thought of something I wish I’d realised when she first got COVID. She can’t chase me. If she moves too fast or too far, she starts coughing and can’t stop. You know I don’t like grooming.…… Continue reading Evasion

Tired Dog by Fantasia Dog I has the best week last week! My favourite human came to visit, for a whole week. My human and the upstairs human took her away most days. They said something about school, and then about holidays, and then about the zoo. What I was most interested in was the…… Continue reading Tired Dog

Dressing Up

Dressing Up by Fantasia Dog When my favourite human was very little, I sometimes played dress-ups and tea parties with her. So when my human made clothes for my favourite small human she’d make matching clothes for the small human’s doll and a matching scarf for me. A couple of years ago, my human stopped…… Continue reading Dressing Up

Everything!

Photo of Princess, a seal-point ragdoll cat lying on a shelf. Caption reads: "The human used to keep lots of things on this shelf."

Everything! by Princess Cat I have to do everything around here. The other day there was a paper grocery bag on the dining table. There was no knowing if there was anything in the bag that needed to be investigated. The human seemed to be ignoring it, and left the room to do something else.…… Continue reading Everything!
