  1. Kitten Dreams

    December 6, 2011 by JillyBean

    Last night I was feeling a bit stressed out from work so I decided to snuggled Pothole for a little bit, because, as the saying goes:

     

     

     

     

    She was on my bed so I laid next to her, and the heated pad was on so I dozed off for a little bit.

    And I swear, as my head laid next to hers, I DREAMED HER DREAMS!

    At this point you may think I am crazy but here is what I dreamed:

    • that I was biting people with wild abandon (not mauling them, just biting as kitties do…)
    • these water glitter bouncy balls were bouncing all over and I was having a blast playing with them
    • Someone was in the kitchen pouring bags of goldfish (like you get from the petstore) on the ground.

    Now you tell me those aren’t fantastical kitty dreams!!  Regardless of their source, I did feel 100 times better when I woke back up :)

    Pothole is a cat that is made to be hugged - she is just built for squeezing!

     

     


  2. Catching Up

    September 3, 2011 by JillyBean

    I have been very busy with work lately so I haven’t really wanted to come home and spend more time on the computer. Thus my blog has been slacking. However this weekend I plan on relaxing and catching up on things I have been missing – including this site! Hopefully I will get several posts up this weekend, but if not, just know I havn’t forgotten about you!!

     

    In the mean time, enjoy these photos from Cuban Fest in Chicago. A delicious time was had by all!

  3. Cats in Need

    July 27, 2011 by JillyBean

    I recently took in two cats from a co-worker of mine who, due to some extreme family and medical issues, was no longer able to care for them.  Both cats are female, spayed, up to date on shots, have their claws and both are in need of a new “Forever Home”.  They can be adopted together or separately. Both have lived with other cats, a dog and children in the past. Free to a caring home.

     

    Chilly

    Chilly:

    Chilly is a 5 year old orange tabby short hair. She is the more active of the two and enjoys exploring her surroundings, playing with her toys and climbing on my cats’ trees. Chilly likes to snuggle and will come to you for attention but I would not consider her a “lap cat”.  Most of the time when I am watching TV or working on the computer she is nearby and interested in what I am doing, but without being “in my face”.  Chilly loves to play with her toys and is capable of having fun by herself but she definitely likes it when you interact with her (such as with a laser toy or wand).
    Here is a video of Chilly in action:

     


     

    Missy

    Missy:

    Missy is a 3 year old black short hair.  She is more reserved then her house mate Chilly and prefers to wait until you make the first move. Once you do though she is an extremely affectionate cat who loves to be petted. She has even jumped on my desk in an effort to get some snuggle-time! Missy favorite toys are plastic rings from milk cartons, which she will carry around in her mouth.  Her previous owner said she used to sleep on his bed and follow him around the house so once you win this cat’s loyalty she will be yours for life.
    Here is a video of Missy in action:

     

    If you are interested in either Missy or Chilly, please let me know and I can setup a time for you to come over and meet them.
