Brotherhood

"There's no other love like the love for a brother. 

There's no other love like the love from a brother."

Mad About Cats

"I've always been mad about my cats." - Vivien Leigh

Devoted Cats

I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul.
- Jean Cocteau

It sounds ridiculous but I adore my kitties. We adopted them when they were two months old, and they will celebrate their 7th birthday later this year. They are our babies. But you've gathered this, haven't you?

One of the most beautiful things about my kitties is their devotion. I know cats are seen more as finicky animals versus devoted animals, but I beg to differ. Cats are devoted to their owners. It's strangers that cats are often finicky of. When my mom was visiting us in December, she fell seriously ill. When she wasn't in the hospital, she was camped out in bed or on our living room couch. There was always one kitty next to her to provide warmth, love, and some furry cuteness.

Dr. Humphrey

In the past few days, I came down with a vicious cold. It has been years since I have been sick. I went to work Monday morning and only lasted for one hour before coming home. Once home, I immediately crawled into bed and slept for three hours. You better believe I had company during my nap. And when I moved my sick self from the bed to the living room couch, my tiger kitty was right there with me (see above).

I can't vouch for anyone else's cats, but I feel like we hit the kitty jackpot. We're blessed to have devoted, sweet, loving furbabies who make our little apartment a home.

Cats and Graphic Novels

Saturday morning awesome.

 

The best way to start your Saturday? Waking up with a cat on your shoulder, of course. Humphrey is 17 pounds of pure love. My shoulder didn't appreciate it, but I love morning snuggles with my kitties. (Crazy cat lady? Perhaps.)

 

My newest book obsession is graphic novels. I never read them as a kid (I'm not even sure if they were around then), but I'm thoroughly enjoying them now as an adult. I remember reading A Wrinkle in Time in 6th grade and hating it. The graphic novel though? Love!

Furbabies

My boys.

Cats and Coffee

Our cats are our children. We have had our babies since they were two months old (they are six years old now). I'm one of those crazy kitty moms who takes way too many photos of her cats. I'm cool with that. I embrace my crazy cat lady-ness.

However, I also have a life... and I don't dress my cats up. Ever.

I can't help but snap photos when adorable opportunities arise. For example:

I take my coffee black. Got it?

Richie balanced his empty cup near Humphrey yesterday morning. How could I not take this photo?
