This kitty cracks me up. Her silliness is boundless. She continually does things that make myself and Mr. NexStitch laugh, smile, and otherwise forget the everyday stresses of life. Case in Point: Last month I decided, after seeing a picture of some watercolor/pen&ink driftwood paintings in a book, that I’d paint some of the driftwood [...]

Kitty Krisis? Averted. Wallet Crisis? Not So Much.
Last Thursday, our four-legged, meowy little feline started behaving oddly. I arrived home from work at 5pm to find her curled up on the chair by the front door. My husband said she had been there for a few hours and, despite him trying to coax her into her 4 o’clock meal (Who has to [...]

Lick-a-polooze (The Reign of the Cone of Shame is No More)!
Kitty Kats got her freedom on Wednesday afternoon when we visited the vet, who gave her the thumb’s up on her surgery recovery and thus removed the Cone of Shame. And while it seemed very unmomentous while in the vet’s office, the moment Roxie was released from her pet carrier into the living room, she [...]

Day Five (Ready to Shred the Cone of Shame)
We’re already planning the party. You know, the one when we take the Cone of Shame off of Kitty Kat’s head and burn it. Melodramatic much? There are moments when I think I’m OK seeing her cart around a plastic cone on her head – times where I even giggle at her licking it or [...]

Day 4 of the Cone of Shame (I Still Haz a Sad)
Day Four. Four down (well, sorta), three to go. You have to know that I’m counting each day as a victory, crossing it off like school kids until the last day of the school year. Roxie is learning to adapt with her cone. She can get to the food in her little food bowl now [...]

Kitty and the Cone of Shame (I Haz a Sad)
This poor kitty has been through it all. When we adopted her from a neighbor in foreclosure, she had chewed her whole backside right above the base of her tail (And yes, we’ve done every test, tried every food, had X-rays, tried steroid shots, you name it. We’re using a topical liquid that helps a [...]

Abort! Abort! Kitty Cuteness Overload. ABORT!
This kitty has me wrapped around her little paw, I tell you. I can’t manage to get much done with her looking so cute and doing funny things to make me laugh or “Dawww!” all the time. But she’s taken the cake now with her latest move. I started working on revamping a bag design [...]

Birthday Round-Up
The birthday festivities are rather prolonged in this family because so many people have birthdays near one another. In August there are three, so we wind up having joint parties. This tends to carry out my birthday through the month. We just had the birthday round-up this past weekend. And I now have a matching [...]

My Sweetest Girl…
…is driving me bonkers in the vet department. She’s racked up a substantial vet bill over the last several months – we’re talking over $1200 by now – for this one single issue: her tail biting. She’s biting the top of her tail and just a little above that. We don’t know why. We’ve tried [...]
