Kiwi Likes Head

I know what you’re thinking. Another crazy cat lady blogger.

“Look at my cat, isn’t she absolutely adorable? I dress her in bonnets and sprinkle glitter on her so when the sunlight hits her she becomes angelic. And we love to eat tacos together.”

No.

I truly love my cats but I draw the line at dressing them up in silly outfits. That’s why I had children. Duh.

Kiwi somehow managed to snatch a Barbie head (we have lots of them) from the secret Barbie head vault and propped it up on the arm of this chair. She sat there for hours. Guarding it. Watching it. I thought she might eat it because her ass is getting so very large I suspect she’s been eating other things lying around the house. Batteries, condoms, pickles, squirrel droppings, barbed wire, etc…

She finally left her perch after my daughter Reese attempted to wrap her in aluminum foil and put her in the oven like a baked potato.

That’s it. All I’ve got today. Silly cat blog post. But it’s Friday and I’m dying for my husband to get home so he can take over the parenting bit while I sleep. Or drink. Either way I can’t lose.

Don’t forget Monday is “Gobbledygook Day.” I’ll be attempting to write a somewhat cohesive post with six paragraphs I’ve received from other writers around the globe. Should be a fine mess.

    I have a confession to make, and I don’t want you to be scared. I’m in love with your blog. It is not the type of San Francisco, let’s make out in the bushes type of love, but an honest to goodness, the design and the content makes me squeal in delight.

    Whew! I feel so much better now. Thanks.

      Oh I’m not scared. I shouldn’t be, right?

      Thank you! That has to be one of the nicest things anybody has ever said about my little old blog.

      Now please tell all of your super awesome friends to READ MY BLOG!

    All of a sudden I’m feeling the desire to pee on some plants and shred a sofa….curious.

      Peeing on the sofa is SO overrated.

    What is wrong with your pussy is no small thing. And your cat is pretty messed up, too. Magda made me do it.

    Cats are ok but you are way better
    hope you get that drink soon!
    Be sure to keep it away from Kiwi (-;

    Awe- our mutual kiwi love brought us together. My Kiwi is the devil I do believe. Your chair is too nice for a house with kids. I don’t think I can like you anymore.
    OK I can…:)
    My son used to take olivia’s barbie heads and bury them…hmmmm.

      Your son sounds super cool. Did he have the eyelashes on when he buried the heads?

      The chair was courtesy of my mom via the Wisteria catalog. My kids love it.

    Oh poop. I’m one of those bloggers and I haven’t sent you anything. Can I send it to you tomorrow? Please say you’ll say “Yes” and not kick me off your island.

    I love the picture! When I first saw it, I thought it’s some artsy picture that you found (you know, online. Interweb is wonderful) There has got to be some artistic message to that picture…

      Oh no, I take all of the photos on this here blog. I’m all artsy-fartsy and shit.

      You mean you couldn’t decipher the true meaning of that photo????

    Hey, Kiwi isn’t fat, she is curvy. And the Barbie head was symbolic, a way to say “we are watching you”. So she needed another set of eye so the symbolism was WE and not I.

    Moral of the story? You don’t need to have a cat to be a crazy cat lady. I do just fine, thankyouverymuch.

    Was your duaghter attempting to bake the cat or the doll’s head? LOL! Either way–too funny!

      The cat. She tried to bake the cat. But my cat is far too smart to be wrapped in foil. Plastic wrap, not so much.

  15. Posted January 24, 2010 at 3:29 pm | #

    Glad to see I’m not the only one who lets the kids enjoy a bit of cat torture now and then. Whoops. I forgot to write something for you. Oh well, that’s the story of my life….

      My kids are OBSESSED with our cats right now. Today I found our other cat Truffle buried beneath paper, a stuffed bunny and a sweater. Didn’t bother her at all.

  16. Posted January 24, 2010 at 4:05 pm | #

    is that the world’s biggest cat, or a weeny chair??

    And if your daughter wanted to wrap her up, she should check out the youtube video on how to wrap a cat!

      She’s a giant cat. As a matter of fact, we’re all quite large. Makes it hard to buy off the rack…

  17. Posted January 24, 2010 at 8:03 pm | #

    Your cat must be very good natured. Any attempt at wrapping my old feline in a blankie much less a sheet of tin foil resulted in deep bleeding wounds and sneak attacks from high perches for the rest of the week in retaliation. My cat was a Machievellian mastermind.

    Too damn funny!! I would just like to know what the cat was REALLY thinking. “So, Barbie, how does it feel to not be able to use your body to talk Ken into coming to your rescue? Where’s your little pink car now? You’re in my dream house now, bitch!”

    So speaking of cats and bonnets…we had to put a lamp shade on our kitty because she just had surgery and can’t lick her stitches. Now she looks like she’s wearing a bonnet like the pioneer ladies used to wear. And she keeps bumping up against the walls. Damn funny, if it wasn’t also slightly pitiful.

    The chair is very cool. The cat has that look all cats (including ours) seem to acquire when sitting on a chair.

    The Barbie head is a Barbie head and creepy by definition. In fact ‘Creepy Barbie head’ is a bit of an oxymoron.
