My next door neighbor’s (stray) cat (she bought a tent for and has been feeding for years) was attacked and killed by two foxes.
I would be heartbroken if I lost Jack Jack…even though I yelled “YOU’RE FIRED!” at 6:00am when he knocked water off my nightstand, trying to paw my ChapStick®. Poor little fucker was passed out on the couch when I left for the day. It is hard work harassing your loved ones all night long!
That’s not good. We had some coyotes kill some cats in our neighborhood. As much as I don’t like the cats shitting in my yard, I also know those are pets and a family will most certainly miss them.
Keep Jack Jack close.
Foxes…yikes! That’s really sad! I don’t really like cats much, I’m a dog person. But I’m always sad for them when they get hurt.
egan and Rachel,
I grew up around cats and have always been an animal lover…but I didn’t realize how attached I would become to Jack Jack. He’s definitely decided that he’s my cat. Even though he’s a freaking cat-tard monster half the time, he’s my cat-tard monster.
There is a huge sign at the front of our neighborhood that someone wrote after their dog got eaten by a coyote. It made me so sad even though the sign itself made me giggle.
“Attention everyone: dog eaten by coyote in cul de sac. Village called. Your dogs are not safe!”
Just tell me that sign isn’t funny until you think about what it means and then get sad.
I had a cat when I was little that was a pain in the ass. I still cried when my parents gave her away when I was in college. She was my pain in the ass, so I know just what you mean.
It doesn’t take long for pets to become family. Then they start acting like family…only cuter.
P.S. You don’t have to be an old cat lady. See my post to your April 8.
hellomynameis……this is for YOU.
Please stop acting like a crazy fool on this blog. It’s obvious Pants is not interested as she has not emailed you.
How about you just continue to read and NOT post? that way, you get all the Pants you want and we don’t have to worry for her sanity.
Creeping a girl out is NOT THE WAY TO ATTRACT HER!
Sincerely, EVERYONE WHO READS THIS BLOG
To everyone and, especially, Pants:
I’m sorry. I’m new to this. I misunderstood. I didn’t mean to creep anyone out or hurt anyone’s friend.
My sincerest apologies.
hellomynameis – that was a very kind message you left. I understand how awesome Pants is and why you would want to get to know her better. I have been friends with her for over 10 years and I love her so very much.
You seem like a good guy, just continue to read and chill and have fun.
Interesting comments here. I thought we were talking about kitty cats, looks like we’ve moved on to our favourite topic: Pants. Yah!
Whoa…I’m not sure I stepped into here, but I have to say I’m fascinated by the idea of a cat tent (and sorry that your neighbor’s cat got eaten).
Pants, everyone, much better:)
I just want you to know that I am beside myself with embarrassment for the impression I gave. I am really not that guy. Thank you for showing me a better path.
That being said, you have an awesome blog. Your creativity is infectious, and you have the best friends in the world.
Take care all!

When I lived in Nevada, my vet asked if I let my Himalayan out and I said “sure” and he said – and I quote “There is nothing coyotes like more than a tasty fat kitty.”
She stayed in after that.
Bucky gets fired for spraying by the pool table every few weeks. Damn Siamese, they are too cute to return to the shelter.
Yeah… I’ve decided to upgrade you from the tree to the actual house. I’m putting clean sheets on the bed as we speak. Bring Jack Jack along… he can fight it out with my two cat-tards.
That’s horrible!
I thought my cat, Esther, was trying to commit suicide last night. She was standing on the balcony, looking down at the street. When I went out to check on her, I realized that she had knocked her kitty plant off the balcony, and it was laying in the street.
I am the crazy cat lady, because I buy plants for my cats. I love my cats.
Hey I just found your blog while browsing finslippy and I don’t know what I would do if something got my kitties. I could SO be a cat lady…my husband keeps me grounded. I’ll stick to my two.
