Snuggle time

Captured this yesterday morning as I got ready for work.  They so love each other.

Adorable

This was just such an adorable thing.  I was nestled at the other end of the couch watching tv.  Looked down and saw this.

Love Bug

Here is my handsome boy.  He is 10 yrs old and a lover.

Love bug in the morning

Here is Love Bug enjoying my pillow this morning.  Luckily he does not eat my hair.  Instead he likes to scratch at my face to wake me up.

My “kids”

Love Bug and Shadow are enjoying an afternoon nap together while basking in the sun.

poop duty sucks

Well a good portion of my weekend was spent either cleaning up after or actually cleaning my cat, Lovebug. He is a little chunky and occasionally has issues with being able to clean his nether regions. And because of this he sometimes accumulates some poop in his fur.

Ugh!!!

So after cleaning up my desk from some….spots….and conducting other poop maintenance, I had no choice but to tackle the issue of my cat.

So yesterday and today I had to clean my cat’s butt. And yes this was as gross as it sounds but necessary. The poor kitty didn’t know what to do. He kept trying to bite me but is too fat to do so.

I think this means I’ll be able to handle a baby’s diaper when the time comes.

I love my cat

My cat Love Bug means so much to me. I already knew this, as I fell in love with him the moment we walked into his particular cat room at AAWL almost 8 years ago and he came right up to us and wanted our attention.

But being home this week has completely validated that for me as he has hardly left my side, and has laid next to me on the couch- where I am designated while being sick -almost nonstop. All I have to do is tap the couch and he is there. The other day he even slept on my tummy!

It has been really great just laying there, resting and patting my cat, while Scott takes care of me.

Love Bug rules

I entered our cat, Love Bug, into an online pet contest several weeks ago now and tonight I checked and he is “best in show.” This means that as of 11pm on May 14th, he is top animal in the cutest pet contest. I am very excited about this and made Scott come and look. I think it is a very cute picture of Love Bug and if you want to vote for him, please do!

Go to Daily Paws and vote!!!

I’m so tired

This totally epitomizes Love Bug’s life. If he’s not sleeping then he’s preparing to sleep or letting us know how tired he is. What a life!

don’t you just love me?

Love Bug absolutely loves his cat tree. We purchased this over 4 years ago and it has gotten lots of use. He especially loves the very top perch, where he is in this picture.
