Of the 3 time Brutus has barfed in his life, 2 of them have been directly on me.
Yes, one of those times was just now.
As far as cats go, 3 barfs in 1 year isn’t that bad, I just wish there was a better me-floor ratio.
Luckily, he is ultra-cute
Look what I just found! They did this on their own!
His new favoritest game in the world!
Tomorrow (or later today depending on when you are reading this) Pothole is going to a specialty vet to figure out why she keeps losing weight. At this point she is down to 6.6 lbs!
Friday our normal vet gave her an appetite stimulant which seemed to be working great and today she ate a lot! And then barfed it all up about 30 minutes ago…
Oh well, at least she is a good travelling companion!

Pretty princesses!!
Brutus assuming his ultimate form
Here he looks more like a bull.
Here he is asking if we can be done.
Brutus turns 1 year old today – yay!
Today, The Other and I spent the day revamping kitty playland. It’s been a few years since we have done a complete overhaul and it needed it. I do not have any ‘before’ pictures but we took out all the old ground cover, laid new pea gravel, replaced their lounging rocks, tightened/repaired all the boards, and replaced the bricks under the walkway. We also laid a trail of mulch to both doors so we can go back there, if needed, without getting muddy.
I’m sure the kitties will like it, but they haven’t tried it yet because right after we finished a huge rainstorm (with tornado warnings) rolled through and soaked everything. Oh well, there is always tomorrow!
In other exciting news, Brutus finally figured out how to use the kitty door to go out! He has been coming in on his own for a couple weeks now but about 2 weeks ago I couldn’t find him anyway, started to get worried and then checked kitty playland and there he was lounging in the sun! I have seen him go out on his own several times now so I know he has got it down and I finally got a video – enjoy!
People describe the Burmese breed as “dog-like” and I used to think this meant that they were loyal, craved human companionship, and would follow you around. Mostly that is true. But it also means the bad parts of dogs – begging, misbehavior, and destruction.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Brutus is a great kitty and I wouldn’t change anything (well except maybe getting 2 kittens) but I am often surprised at what a devious little kitten he is.
We recently switched to silicone dishes cause I thought they looked nicer and I wanted a matching set of cat bowls. Brutus soon realized that he could carry these bowls around so when he was finished eating, if he was still hungry (which is every time) he would carry the bowl into the kitchen and drop it off for a refill.
He also constantly goes on the counter (not allowed in our house) and will stay up then until you physically walk over and remove him. Then he jumps down and flops on his side showing his belly in an attempt to beg forgiveness. But he isn’t really sorry. If you leave again, he’s back up on the counter.
Today I went out to run some errands (getting kitty food of all things) and came home to find an empty food bowl and an apparently very “hangry” cat.
Yup – you are seeing that right – he chewed through his food bowl like a dog. This was not some nibbling on one side – this is total destruction of the bowl!
Not only that but I dropped off the dry food at the bottom of the stairs then left to take my brother to the airport. When I returned I noticed the 5.5 lb bag of cat food had been dragged across the floor.
Me: did you move the cat food?
The Other: No, it was Brutus.
Me: *disbelief* he dragged it?
The Other: yea
Me: its a 6lb bag of food, he is a 10lb cat!
I took the bag upstairs and halfway up I notice cat food pellets on the ground. I look at the bag and not only had Brutus dragged the bag, but he had chewed through it to get to the food. On several sides.
*sigh*
Winzig and Brutus, someday you’ll be friends
Winzig says “Unlikely!”
Brutus says “I’ll bite him again!”
Then there is a chipmunk and enemies become friends.
