You will never guess what happened to me?
OMG! It is just horrifying! Just awful! …… Ok so I might be overreacting but it was definitely not something I want to experience again soon! It has happened to me before but I forget…
It all started when Daddy filled the big giant bucket in the water room….. Usually I like the water room…. I follow Mama in there all the time, I sit on the big water bucket and play with bubbles…. I drink out of the water pipe….. It was all good….
But yesterday, “I” was the target! I don’t know why!
Was it because I dug up my kitty grass and climbed into that pot…. Or maybe it’s because I rolled in that pile of dirt when Mama was sweeping the kitchen. But I am not dirty!!!
Daddy carried me and put me in the water! My paws were all wet ….. I started to freak out! I mean, who wouldn’t! I don’t know how they spend so much time in the water…… it is so wet and slimy……eek!
I tried to stay still …….. But I just wanted to get out!
Daddy told me to stay calm and I will be nice and clean soon…… Then, he started to pour water on me! He made sure to keep my ears dry though…. He wiped my head with care… We, cats, have very sensitive ears so you must be careful not to let water get in them…. Daddy is a smart hooman…. He knows these things…
I know I look very brave here but I was scared on the inside!
Then Daddy put some strange foamy thing on me….. He kept rubbing it all over me…. He said it will help me with the itching….. It did feel nice but ‘get me out of this water’!!!
Mama was sitting by me the whole time…. I kept looking at her, hoping she will let me out of this hellhole but she kept saying ‘It’s ok baby, you will feel better soon’.
I trust Mama… I stayed…
I like this picture… Look at my moves! Looks like I am trying to hold the water…..
It felt like forever ……I tried to get out many times…. But I couldn’t! Water, Foam, Water, Foam! Rubbing, Scrubbing……. It went on forever!
Finally, Daddy took me out! I was soaked to the bone, I was angry and annoyed! But Daddy wrapped me in this big, soft cloth and dried off all the water…. I felt less angry…
Mama gave me kisses and told me what a good girl I was! Her hugs made me feel better…
After all that excitement, I had to spend hours drying off!
I must admit, it felt really nice…. I felt fresh and clean….. Mama said I smelt so good…. The bonus was I got extra treats for being a good girl:) There is always a silver lining!
Welcome hoomans
It is I, Miss Kitty Mojito……. Mama is a bit busy so she told me to write something here….
I just woke up from a nap ……….
I was sooo tired from waking up this morning when Daddy was up getting ready for work…….He said it was 4am when he looked at that box that makes a shrilly sound each morning.
I always wake up with him hoping he would give me a treat…. It never happens …. Daddy knows that Mama gives me treats when she is up…… I try to be sneaky and get some from him too ….. But he is smart, that Daddy!
I went back to sleep after he left and woke up again with Mama…. Then she went out, so I went back to sleep… As you can see, I am tuckered out…. When Mama came back, she gave me 2 treats….
I love my Mama, she is very good to me……… I get so many hugs and kisses all day….. Sometimes too many…. Sometimes I just want to be left alone to sleep… but she comes and hugs me….She takes care of me …. My poo box is always clean….. There is always something in that dish where food shows up… I even have a fancy water dish…. Water flows around it … I like it… Mama says I am her precious baby.
I love Daddy too… He works very hard to take care of me and Mama… he wants to make something called ‘mooney’…. Must be some delicious treat because he seems to like it very much…. I hear them talking about it….
Daddy is tired when he gets home at night… but he still plays with me….. I love play fighting with him….. He doesn’t mind when I bit him a bit too hard… only sometimes….. When he annoys me a bit too much….
Ok, enough talking for now.. I have to nap ….. Maybe I will say more later…. Mama says that I have some friends coming over for dinner tonight…. I need to get some rest before that!
I am going to be a bit busy over the next few days so I thought I would let Miss.Kitty take charge of the blog for a bit:)
I am sure she will have some interesting stories to share with you all! I know she is super excited to take over…… !
Here’s something new for all my amazing readers!
I have designed a small bookmark! As you can see, it has one of my signature cat designs! There is something at the back of it as well but I will leave that to be a surprise!
These will be available for $2 each (includes mailing costs)
You can pre-order this now and I hope to start mailing them out by the end of the month:)
Let me know if you would like to grab one! 🙂
As I write this, there is a northern oil town called Fort McMurray here in Alberta (Canada) that is burning from a massive wildfire that is out of control.
Over 100,000 people have been evacuated. Not only have these folks lost their homes, their possessions and livelihoods, some have lost their precious pets :_( But we, as a province and country, have all come together to make sure that these folks and their furry friends are taken care in this time of need.The outpouring of support for everyone affected is amazing and it makes me so proud to be a Canadian!
Even thought the worst isn’t over yet (the fires are still burning!), it is time to focus on rebuilding. … My thoughts and prayers are definitely with those affected!
All this just reiterated the fact that we all need to have an evacuation kit and an emergency plan, especially if you have pets. I wrote a previous post about putting together a pet emergency kit which I hope you will read again (if you haven’t already!)
It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, even if it is just a backpack with a change of clothes and copies of any important documents along with a small first aid kit would be sufficient.
For your pet, a few cans of food, an extra leash, some bedding added to a small pack is vital in case you have to leave your home in a hurry.
Also chat with your family and come up with a meeting point …. somewhere you can all gather … make sure your kids know what to do in a situation like this, have a list of emergency contacts visible at home…. there is so many things we can do … all you have to do is Google it and get started!
I think there are two scenarios we need to be ready for and here is my own plans for them. I hope this inspires you to have a plan for your family.
Scenario 1 :
If (god forbid) something happens while I am at home that require me to evacuate, leaving my cat behind is not an option,, not matter what. I already have a plan in mind, I know exactly what I need to grab and get out.
The first thing I would do it grab Kitty’s harness and leash and secure her in the stroller. Next I would grab her emergency kit (which has some food, supplies to keep her calm) while also grabbing our own emergency backpacks (one each for my husband and myself), filled with a change of clothes, some toiletries and copies and originals of important documents).
That’s it! Everything else can be replaced….. !
I will then run to my friend’s place and grab her two kitties if she is not home.
Scenario 2:
If (again god forbid!) there is an evacuation happening when I am not at home, I have emergency stickers on my front door indicating that I have a cat inside. This lets the emergency personnel know there is a pet that needs to be saved. These stickers can be found at pet stores everywhere! Please grab one today!
I also have contact numbers of a couple of neighbours that I could reach out to, one of whom will grab Kitty and keep her safe until I can be reached. We have an agreement that in case of emergency, I will grab her two kitties and vice versa! This way I know Kitty is safe!
Having some sort of plan will really help ease some of the stress….. I know we don’t want to think about anything awful happening to us, but sometimes bad things happen so we need to be prepared.
It’s getting to be that time of year when we all want to spend as much time outside as we can….
Spring/Summer is my favourite time of year…. the flowers in bloom, the trees all green, street fairs, farmer’s markets, festivals galore, spending time out on the patio with a cool drink in hand……. ah! life can be perfect! 🙂
This is also the time that I try to go for walks (and an occasional run!) often…. Usually it is just me, sometimes with my husband and occasionally with Kitty 🙂
However, with it being so lovely outside, there are lots of other fur babies enjoying their time out as well. So this year, I thought I would invest in a little pet stroller ! This will allow me to take Kitty out while avoiding any unwanted interactions with those big doggies:)
I got some input from some cat enthusiasts on the various cat groups on Facebook…. spent a few hours online trying to find a good deal and eventually I managed to find a great stroller for a steal of a deal of $30 at a yard sale!
Here are some good tips to keep in mind when shopping for a stroller.
Safety first! This stroller has two safety hooks that can be attached to your pet’s harness
Make sure there is good ventilation all around!
There is enough space inside for her to move around!
This stroller also had a small bonus basket under it! Great to carry any extra treats or water for your trip!
So keep in mind to invest in something that has a sturdy frame, with lots of great ventilation as well as enough space inside so that your furbaby is comfortable … They need to be able to sit up, move around and enjoy the stroll! Extra pockets or baskets for storage is a bonus but not a necessity! The main thing is your pet’s safety and comfort!
Here is Kitty on one of her strolls .. 🙂
All ready to go !
Outside!!
Surprise!

Today I put my baking skills to good use and made these awesome treats for Kitty.
I call it Tuna-tato Bites….It is super simple !
Ingredients :
1 can of tuna ( I used white flaked tuna)
1 egg
4 tbsp of rice flour (I used gluten free rice flour – it’s what I had!)
a few tsps of water
1/2 russet potato
Step 1
Peel and cut the potato into chunks and add it to boiling water. Let it boil for a good 8-10 mins. Then, mash it up, making sure it is not too dry (add a few tsp of water to make it more pliable)
Step 2
Beat the egg in a separate bowl. Add them to the tuna and mix it well. Next add the rice flour.
Step 3
Spoon the mixture in a small muffin tin and bake in a preheated oven at 350C for 15 mins.
Note: if you are using muffin liners, the tuna will stick to it (as I later found out)… I would suggest leaving out the liners and bake directly in the pan.
Step 4
Spoon the mashed potatoes into a piping bag and add it on top of the baked treats once they have cooled. You can leave this part out if you prefer.
Finally, just to top it off, I added a piece of Kitty’s dry food to each of the treats:)
And now .. drumroll please…. The Taste Test…..
She LOVED it!!…. She wasn’t too crazy about the potato part so I may leave that out next time…
You will have to break the ‘muffin’ into smaller pieces for your cat …. It is a dry treat so make sure it is broken up to avoid any choking!!!… you can add some pumpkin puree to the tuna mixture if you want a more moist muffin.
No more than one muffin a day per cat…. And please store it in the fridge! It should last 3 to 5 days.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this recipe and if you end up making it for your furbaby, please send me some photos so I can share them here:)
