The teams have been training and the playoff games are almost decided. With the Combine looming in the distance for the NFL Draft, it’s that time once again before the big game. The Feline Football League Kitten Bowl II! While many folks will watch the Super Bowl on Feb. 1, the hands down favorite Kitten Bowl II on Hallmark Channel at noon before the Super Bowl is the true game of competition.

Moving Into A New Year Of Possibilities?

Here we are getting ready to move into 2015. A New Year brings high hopes and fond memories. Since five is supposed to be a lucky number, I’m thinking good things for all of us ahead. That is my wish for all.

Weather is odd once again, woke up to 25 degrees outside and high winds. But we have brilliant sunshine so I can bundle up no problem. Most of the U.S. is in the Arctic Cold outbreak once again so here are some fun things to do this week.

1. Figure out what is bugging you the most and clean it out. Did this recently with the container next to my stove that holds my utensils. Couldn’t even get one more in the container, so sorted it out. Stuffed the overage into the kitchen utensil drawer, so now I need to clean that out. But I accomplished one thing!

2. Take a nap. Spec Ops Cat demonstrates his professional level at this activity in the photo. Remember to relax like a cat. Just wish I was as limber as he is.

3. Play a game from your childhood. Taking the Yahtzee game over for New Year’s Eve celebration treats tomorrow to play with family. Nothing like rolling dice and not losing money to make me a happy woman.

4. Read. A magazine, book, cookbook,  ebook or cereal box. It feels like a guilty pleasure to do this during the day in the sunlight, so count me in!

5. Socialize. Whether your watching the bowl games with friends and family, Go Ducks!, or visiting family and friends during the holidays, make time to bond. Actually listen and talk with people. Unplug! It’s a wonderful thing.

6. Be grateful. It’s easy to get wrapped up in all the stuff and things and expectations, but the true joys in life are the little things; always have been, always will be. My favorites this past week were my sister’s pumpkin bread, a calm and happy Christmas, healthy family and friends, donating books to the library, spending Christmas Eve with my Mom, sleeping in and Spec Ops Cat cuddles. Priceless!

Hoping your holidays are going well and let’s all make fun plans for 2015. Happy New Year!

Spring and Summer are just around the corner!

Here Comes Grumpy Cat For The Holidays!

Survived the big non-snow event yesterday, but stayed inside due to the freezing rain that did show up. Since the holidays are approaching faster than they should according to the store displays, it’s a good thing to have a new holiday movie to look forward to on tv. Not sure this one will fit into the “classic” category, but I’m going to watch it for chuckles and the whole paint ball firing episode.

Prepare for the cold weather and holidays by stocking up on your favorite movies now. In case of a real snowstorm. I’m putting this one here so I won’t forget to watch it on Lifetime Nov. 29th.

Happy Quirky Friday! Have a great weekend and stay warm out there!

Do You Have An Office Cat?

Spec Ops Cat has a lot of responsibilities here at the world wide headquarters of Warrior Tales. There is building security, ecommerce and training the humans. Even though he rules the home office, it is still a business and his time is plum full of duties.

Nice to know he’s not alone with his hectic schedule. Cole and Marmalade have the same work challenges in the video below. I think their video should be named “What it’s like to TRY and work with humans.” A cat’s work is never done!

Have a great weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

 

 

Are You A Cat Lover? The Cat Daddy Is Back!

One of my favorite tv shows is “My Cat From Hell” with Jackson Galaxy, aka the Cat Daddy. A new season starts Saturday night at 8 p.m. on Animal Planet. Yeah! I even have Jackson’s book, “Cat Daddy,” which explains how a cat saved his life.

The show is so interesting because it shows how 9 times out of ten it is the humans with issues, not the cat. The cat is reacting to the untrained people. Luckily, Spec Ops Cats did a thorough job of training me, so life is good when I follow his rules.

If you don’t have Animal Planet, the show now has their own YouTube channel and you can watch past seasons online! Check out why Jackson does this work below. Adopt! Spay and neuter! Save the kitties!

There seems to be a baby boom at the Oregon Zoo. Now we have more lion cubs! It’s a kittenpalooza. Check out first time Mom Kya and the wonderful job she is doing. I am sure there will be more family films soon.

Happy Quirky Friday!
