Cats seem to have an endless fascination with bathrooms. Whether it’s sinks, bathtubs or shower stalls, I have yet to meet a cat who isn’t intrigued by at least one of those. And when was the last time you’ve been able to go to the bathroom without a feline escort?Continue Reading
Ruby’s Reflections
Ruby and the Router
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! It’s been forever since I last got to write something here! I want to tell you about something super cool that I did earlier this week. You probably saw Mom’s post last Sunday about how she spent a weekend at a friend’s house with no Wifi. Wifi, wifi, wifi – what a funny word! Wiiiifiiii – wee!!! Anyway, I think it means she couldn’t be on the computer. I don’t know why that’s a bad thing. I like it when Mom is not on the computer, because she pays more attention to me. Continue Reading
Ruby and the Leaves
Today’s post title sounds like the name of an indie rock band, doesn’t it! Ruby has become fascinated with the first dried up leaves that have been blowing onto our deck for the last few days. To me, they’re a sad reminder that summer is coming to an end soon, but to Ruby, they’ve been a source of endless entertainment, as you can see in the video below. Continue Reading
Ruby’s Reflections: It’s my 5th Birthday!
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! Guess what! I’m five years old today!
Mom says she can’t believe how fast time has flown by. She says I will always be her kitten because I sure don’t act like a grown up. I think she means it as compliment…Continue Reading
Allegra, Ruby and the Cable Box
No matter how many cat beds I put around the house, the top of the cable box is one of the most coveted napping spots, especially during the colder months. Allegra and Ruby must have worked out a schedule, because they both seem to get equal time on it. All of my cats over the years have always enjoyed napping on the cable box, and these things must be pretty sturdy, because I can only imagine the amount of cat hair that ends up inside.Continue Reading
Allegra, Ruby and the Secret Birthday Post
Hi everyone, it’s Allegra and Ruby! Mom had one of her super smart posts about some super important topic scheduled for today, but we snuck out of the bedroom once she was fast asleep last night, and rescheduled it for next week. At first we were going to delete it, but then we realized that maybe Mom would get mad at us if we did that….
Allegra: Ruby, you know better than that. Mom never gets mad at us.
Ruby: She does at me! Continue Reading
Ruby’s Reflections: 4th Adoption Anniversary
Hi everyone, it’s Ruby! Today is a very special day for me! It’s my 4th adoption anniversary! Four years ago today, Mom brought me home to live with her and Allegra. What a great day that was! I am such a lucky girl.
Some fun facts about me: Did you know Continue Reading

Allegra, Ruby and the Great Bug Hunting Adventure
The other night, the girls had a big bug hunting adventure, and they wanted to share it with you. I don’t know who had more fun: the girls or me. They were utterly fascinated by this new “toy” in our living room. I was thoroughly entertained watching them try to catch the bug. The level of teamwork they displayed was remarkable; I swear I could hear them strategize on how to best approach this hunt!
But why don’t I let them tell you in their own words.Continue Reading
Allegra and Ruby On Taking Care of Mom
When I got sick with a nasty head cold a couple of weeks ago, I was once again reminded of the healing power of cats. Allegra and Ruby were clearly worried about me, and their quiet presence was the best medicine I could have asked for. But why don’t I let them tell you in their own words.Continue Reading
Ruby’s Reflections: Meditating with Mom
Hi, everyone! It’s Ruby! It’s been forever since Mom let me write something here. I’ve been hard at work helping her with product reviews, being Mom’s office assistant, and, my most important job of them all, keeping my sister Allegra in line. What’s that, Allegra? You keep me in line? <kitty snort>
Anyway, one of my jobs is to help Mom meditate every morning. Continue Reading
