Relax, let go...




There aren't many cats that would lie around a house in this position with a 3 year old and an 11 month old romping around. This is our grand-kitty Ozzie. When this guy's tired he doesn't give two hoots what is happening around him. He just zones out.
We could all take a lesson from this guy to just relax, let go and trust that all will work out.

Cat tip-for-the-day=^..^=another cheap toy
You know I'm always trying to save you some money so here is another very cheap toy you can make for your cat.
I don't have photos for this one but here's what you do.
Drop in to your local thrift shop and pick up some baby socks for .25 - .50 cents a pair.
Fill the toe with dried catnip that sells at most pet stores for a couple of dollars a tub.
Tie the top tight with a short piece of raffia.
Throw on floor.
Enjoy the show. You can get a year's worth of cat toys out of one tub of cat-nip.

hugs, Deb

  1. I love to watch cats sleeping. They do seem to have the right attitude about relaxing!

    Good idea about the catnip toy. Our Chase Bird adores catnip.

  2. I am typing this with a cat in my lap . She is taking up most of the keyboard space too. I think she likes the catnip toy idea but was appalled by Ozzie's blatant un-catlike sprawl. She faces such reckless abandon daily with our other cat and she is not amused. :)

    Ozzie is a wonderful cat, who couldn't love such an easygoing kitty, especially your grandchildren. Does he allow them to play with him ?

  3. Riley carries him around all the time. He doesn't seem to mind anything. His counterpart, Cooper is a little more leary (or smart, not sure) and sets down limits with the kids. They are good with them, though.

  7. I've done that before and it's a big hit -- and since almost every toy ends up in the Dead Zone (we have no idea where she kicks them to) it's a good reminder to make some more. Knit baby booties work, too!

    Loving Ozzie!
