simons cat : santa claws

Well, once again its time to put up the Christmas tree! I know its early, but I have people coming for Thanksgiving, and not for Christmas. So this way its not just me and Smith who get to enjoy it. Harve and Polly may have a direct impact on how long it actually stays up though.... don't worry, we only have plastic non-breakable ornaments for this very reason.

DIY kitty bed

 

I've been a little out of control with the fabric leftover from making my curtains. i think every pillow in the apartment has been recovered, and i've made a chair cushion....

So when it came down to my last remnant, i wanted to do something a little more interesting.

I'd seen planters turned into cat beds on the internet before - but the DIYs didnt really give me much of an idea of how to actually construct the thing... so I kind of made this up as I went.

What you need:

1 planter - works best with something larger than 11" (the planter i used was 12" at its widest)  //  FREE
1 plastic dog water dish (10" wide, or however big your planter base is)  //  $1.50 at Ace hardware
1 round cushion the diameter of your planter, covered in a fabric of your choice  //  FREE
miscellaneous cat toys. // Miscellaneous prices.

What you do:

1. Clean the planter out
2. place the dog dish upside down in the bottom of the planter
3. fill the excess area with kitty toys
4. place the round cushion on top of the water dish. done!

I might try to find a cooler planter, but not too bad for under $2.00... and polly seems to like it too

cats in bars

should I be taking Harve & Polly out to more bars? this photographer has me thinking yes.

patty cake

harve & polly are cats.. so i guess there's no shame in the occasional cat video post.

necono camera

cute kitty cam with magnetic feet? sign me up! the Necono cat cam takes stills or video and can be perched on a metal surface to lounge and observe - the way only cats can

you can even get this cute camera case .. all I have to say is that if i had orange tiger cats this would already be ordered and on its way to me. but maybe i'll save my pennies & wait for the stealthy black cat version to come out someday.

// cat nap packing tape $7.00

So the movers came this weekend ... put all my stuff on a truck.... and drove away

we said "goodbye stuff!" and are hoping it all shows up in Massachusetts by the end of this week.

after some tears - harve, polly & I said bye to smith and are spending the next few days with my parents while I wait for the moving company to give me the cue to head to boston.

polly productivity

I have been so busy lately its been making me wish for another set of hands....
Polly seems to have sensed this desire because she's been showing off her extra
toes like they're going out of style.

her name's polly because she's a polydactyl cat.. basically she is a cat with thumbs...
and she doesn't mind showing off her 24 toes at every convenience
maybe extra arms are too steep a request - maybe i just need some extra digits!

... or maybe i could just teach her how to type

harve-zilla

taking a last minute trip to nyc this weekend into next week. polly will be glad to see me when i get back - but harve will be his quintessential cool and pretend he didn't even notice i was gone.

maybe if i get him this scratching post and let him live out his godzilla fantasies he wont be so bitter i didn't take him along on the trip.
