Oh my goodness, your sorority rush nametag!!! Ahhhhhhh! How cute is that?!?! I still have mine too – it was the shape of a ladybug because everyone always used to call me Katie Bug…it had googly eyes and pipe cleaner antennae. Blast from the past….

I’m with you – I too am a dog lover but I have a cat. Truth be told, they’re just easier to take care of. We can go away for the weekend, leave her plenty of toys to play with, a window seat to bask in & plenty of food and she’s set. I kinda dig that.

Kitty love!!! I’m so broken. I know I’m going to be a crazy cat lady, I just can’t help it. I would totally have a kitty pen in my backyard if we were homeowners. Are there going to be any Aristophiles Anonymous meetings coming up that I should attend?

I didn’t know you were a cat lover! We had one cat growing up, Rocky. I loved him. He loved sitting on my brothers brand new Camero Z-28 and thus just as quickly as my brother brought Rocky home, he found Rocky a new home. My dad is NOT a cat person at all and we never had another, just dogs from that point. RCW and I tried to save a cat once that adopted us, even spending hundreds of dollars at the vet on medicine and testing and shots, but alas, she was too set in her ways and could not learn to get along with Dallas. We had to give her to the no kill shelter, it broke my heart. We’ve talked about getting cats again, RCW isn’t a big cat fan, but maybe one day.

We have one cat in the neighborhood, it runs whenever I try to pet it. Not a whole pet rescue, I’m glad you are so pro-adoption! If I ever get to have a dog we are def. going to the pound! We visit there every few weekends and my heart always breaks.

My childhood cat was fat and nasty. I originally named him Ongey (ah-ngy) because he was an orange tabby and Ongey is orange-y without the R.. it made sense when I was 9. Then I renamed him Simba after I saw the Lion King a few months later, so he may have had an identity crisis along the way.

Also, Helen reminds me how every time I see a cat, I want it. We were at PetSmart yesterday and they had all the cats and kittens up for adoption displayed in their cages.. it was so sad and I had to have my FH literally drag me away bc I almost adopted all of them.

What a great post! Helen is just an adorable cat

I had lots of cats growing up – we lived out in the country and I think at one point there were 25 cats living inside and outside (there were several feral cats that we fed).

We currently have 3 cats in addition to the pugs and I don’t know what I would do without them

We had a cat that sounds similar to your Freckles… her name was Fluffy ( I’m real creative too). She would do the same thing with biting your finger just enough to let you know she could bite if she wanted to.

There are times I think about her and miss her. she died from a thyroid problem but she had the opposite problem of not being able to keep weight on.
