I'm not sure if you have heard, but I LOVE my cat. Like, so much. For those of you who are pet owners, I know you understand. For those of you who are not, it's ok....we can still be friends. Meow.
Mosby and I have been a family for almost a year and a half and in that time, I have learned some things. I have learned that I am way better at taking care of animals than plants....that having a fur buddy makes daily life quite enjoyable...and that Mosie is undoubtedly the King of this St. Paul castle.
Upon further reflection, I have also observed in myself some behaviors that might lead one to believe that I am indeed a proud member of the 'Crazy Cat Lady' club. And I am 100% ok with it.
So much so that I have decided to share some of the best with you...a top 10 of my most favorite 'I'm for sure in the Club' moments. In part, I share to reassure the pet loving readers out there that you are not alone and don't have to keep your 'crazy' all bottled up inside...share it with the world, let your freak flag fly!
Also I share just to offer you some happy Wednesday giggles of fun. Ready? Me too:
1. I ask him how his day was and how he spent his time when I get home from work. Actually, we have lots of chats about lots of things. Ok, fine...I talk to my cat.
2. I love seeing his cute little nose prints on the window where he watches for birdies and squirrels. Sometimes if I see a happy squirrel friend out there, I let him know to come check it out....yikes lady, really? Yes.
3. I leave the IPod on for him when I go to work to enrich his listening environment while I am away. That's not sooo crazy, I suppose. But, I do make sure to change up the artist every few days so he doesn't get sick of the same songs. And, there it is.
4. I have lots of names for him which include, but are not limited to: Bubba, Mose, Boo Boo, Mosie Love Bug, Mosie Boo, Love, Honey, Baby Boo, Boodle
5. Sometimes I really want to move my legs or turn over when I'm sleeping...but I can't... because Mosie is just too cute and comfy and stretched out right in the middle of the bed. So I don't.
6. I fill his water bowl with the Britta filtered water, because it's cleaner and healthier. Right? No regular, run of the mill tap water for my love.
7. I hide a few little treats around the house before I leave for work so he has some tasty surprises for later. I'm sure he finds and devours them right away, but in my head he slowly uncovers them throughout the day in a magical treasure hunt of fun.
8. On cold winter nights, I cover him up with a blankie at bedtime. I know that fur is nature's blanket and he is totally fine, but what if he gets chilly and feels sad about that?
9. He has more toys than he could possibly want or use in a lifetime. Like a whole big basket full of crinkle balls, little mice, things with bells, things on strings, things that spin, catnip filled things, things to chew, things to scratch, a giant rat and one stuffed avocado (just because).
10. I often turn the tv on if I leave for the evening....ya know, so Mosie has something to watch and be entertained while I'm gone. But I make sure it's a happy show. I don't want him exposed to all that violence and inappropriate content.
Bonus: I vacuumed him last week with the brush attachment because he rolled around in some dirty stuff and how else was I supposed to get it off his fur? Worked like a charm and I would do it again.
So there you go. I hope you enjoyed spending a little time exploring the inner workings of a Crazy Cat Lady's mind. It's a happy place...and I'm loving it:)
