Kittenball Run

Some houses have names. Usually, they are big, grand houses with giant yards–which get called “gardens” because it makes them sound even fancier–and staff that wait on you hand and foot.  Our apartment also has a name: The Cattrap Hotel and Day Spa.  Gwyd was guest number 1. And no, he's not checking out any… Continue reading Kittenball Run

Feline Fine, Part II: Our cats’ favorite things

There is nothing our cats like better than watching the birds out the window--and waiting for us to come home on the rare occasions one of us leaves (even if it's just to take out the trash). They can see everything with their two window perches. The suction cup style hammock can hold up to… Continue reading Feline Fine, Part II: Our cats’ favorite things

Cat Update

Last week wasn't a great week at Chez KnotMagick. Wednesday, I was just about to make my breakfast when Ash informed me there was bloody stool in the litterbox. So we ran around catching cats and trying to figure out which one had left the deposit. It turned out Hermes was the culprit. Hermes is… Continue reading Cat Update

Cat Update

Just a few photos this time. We made it through September without incident (insert me knocking on wood and throwing salt over my shoulder) which means it's the first time since March we haven't had at least one trip to the vet. Hopefully, October will continue this trend. So far everyone is doing well.  Our… Continue reading Cat Update

Lord and Lady Fluffington Purr Again

Yes, I'm the kind of crazy that writes silly stories about my cats. If you want to read the first installment, you can find it here. There is nothing like staying at home, for real comfort. However when one is forced into staying home, such as during a quarantine of extended period, it does become… Continue reading Lord and Lady Fluffington Purr Again

Cat Update

Gwydion went in for his neuter on the first, and for two blissful days we had relative silence. Not that he stopped talking or playing; he did both. But he didn't find it necessary to announce the fact that he was still breathing every second of every day. Seriously, he would be the perfect pet… Continue reading Cat Update

Cat Update

This morning I learned that Gwyd has learned how to open draws. I discovered this when I went into the bathroom and found him sleeping in the bottom drawer of the vanity, hugging the role of toilet paper we'd hidden there. I haven't decided if I'm going to put a child lock on that drawer,… Continue reading Cat Update

Cat Update

Gwyd is settling in. He's affectionate, but not a snuggler. The boy loves his ear rubs, though, and will go completely boneless at the slightest hint of scritches. He and Bast have been playing together. They chase each other and wrestle, but are still learning what the boundaries are. We separate them at the first… Continue reading Cat Update

Cat Update

If you follow my Twitter (@knotmagick) or know me on Ravelry (also @knotmagick), then you know Sunday was far too eventful for my liking. Sunday morning my mom called shortly after I woke up. We were chatting pleasantly when Bast jumped up on the bed. He was covered in poo. Turns out he's been stealing… Continue reading Cat Update

A Void

If you've been following me on Instagram or Twitter, then you might have some idea of just how hard the last week and a half have been. On the 25th, just before dinner time, Morrigan, who had never before shown any interest in the outdoors other than stalking squirrels through the window, forced her way… Continue reading A Void
