Had the girls over today, and as usual, Kenzie insisted on hopping in Kaleigh’s bag to ensure no hairthings or toys were lingering it it. She’s been known to steal random items from my friends bags on numerous occasions. The bigger the bag, the more likely KenzieKat will sift her way through it.

Cat Tip of the Day: Do not leave purses unattended in a fetching cat’s presence.

She’s slept in the box so much, that I’m considering decorating the thing. I’ve already added a little blanket to the bottom for her comfort. Maybe she is not a diva after all!

This is my life

I need to get away from everyone.” block4: “Or maybe I need to try being a little easier to get along with.” block5: “yea that’ll happen” block 6: “screw it, who needs people, right Manuel? all i need is y…”courtesy of shamelessmag.com

I’ll admit, Kenzie does walk a bit funny right after their application, but it only takes her about five minutes to forget they are on.

cat tip of the day: before applying SoftPaws, clip your cats nails so the fake nails will stay on longer.

Turns out, my dad set the security system in the house before we left, forgetting poor Kenzie was still there.

The security system alarms as soon as movement is detected in the house, aka KENZIE. Thus, not only were four cops & my grandfather called via Secure Us, Kenzie was exposed to a minimum of twenty minutes of a loud siren sound shaking my entire house.

Poor Kenzie.

My dad was angry Kenzie called the cops, but I was angry my dad set the security system and nearly gave my precious Kenzie a heart attack.  I’m not sure Kenzie will be invited back.

cat tip of the day:  do not set your security system to detect all movement within the house as a burglar IF your daughters favorite creature is visiting for the weekend.

I had some friends over planning spring break, and the boyfriend was already annoyed by the amount of gals at my house (he was quite outnumbered); plus, I think his chemistry homework was getting the best of him. AND, I admit, Kenzie was doing her weird meow sound over and over because no one was paying attention to her.

The boyfriend locked Kenzie in the office to escape the meowing.

I was unaware that the boyfriend did such a traumatic thing, but Kenzie found her own revenge…..

Kenzie Got Revenge

She pooped in his dufflebag, and peed all over his gym sweats….the only two items that were his in the entire room.

I love my cat.

cat tip of the day: cats are smarter than most might think and use their smarts to be hysterically revengeful. cat haters beware.

The boyfriend thought he would be a better walking teacher than I and decided to teach himself after the first two clips, you can see how that worked out for him. For being a big, strong bodybuilder, he sure is a big baby when it comes to cat scratches.

Proof Kenzie needs new nails.

Kenzie’s SoftPaws have fallen off (they are supposed to after so many weeks), and her mamma has been neglecting to put new ones on, but after today I think it’s time. Walking lesson #2 will not take place until new shiny pink nails are on her pretty paws.

cat tip of the day: wear gloves when training your cat to walk.

Kenzie LOVES this.

Today, she was playing around with the boyfriends mesh laundry basket, as always, when we decided to throw a hair elastic into it…just to see what she would do.

Well, as expected, she went NUTSO. She couldn’t figure out how to get the elastic out, and she kept digging through the mesh in a desperate attempt to get the elastic. Obviously, it is impossible to get the elastic out without physically jumping into the basket, but she, of course, did not think of this.

Instead, she got her pretty pink claw stuck in the mesh trying to retrieve the elastic.

I figured she would be able to get her claw unstuck herself, but after about thirty seconds I realized she might need some help, but it was too late.  By the time I got to the basket,  all that was left in the mesh was a fake pink cat nail, with a real nail stuck in it.

She pulled out her own nail to unstuck herself, and she didn’t even flinch.

Did I just de-claw my cat unintentionally? Do these things grow back? A  web- discussion has convinced me that, although it may become infected, this is a minor injury & since she’s an inside cat, hopefully the chances of her getting infected are slight. Any advice on this matter my fellow cat bloggers?

cat tip of the day:  if your kitty gets stuck in a mesh laundry basket, help her immediately. She will rip her claw out to save herself.

My best friend from high school, Jordan was in attendence with her boyfriend, who I like to call Farmer John. Farmer John, who majors in animal reproduction (seriously), is quite fond of animals, but not so fond of cats. Regardless, I could tell Farmer John was intrigued by the fetching stories he had heard about Kenzie.  He was also quite skeptical.

He had the nerve to say DOGS were smarter than cats. HA.

Then,  I gave him a hair elastic to throw. He threw. She brought it back.  He was impressed, but said, “is that all she can do?’ The nerve of him!

So, I explained that Kenzie was a very talented cat and could do much more than just fetch hair elastics. She can catch, too! Then I realized, I’d failed to tell my blogosphere that my precious Kenzie cat also catch!

It’s true, she can stand on her two back feet, and when you throw an elastic down on her, she catches it with her two front paws! Proof of this via video will come soon.

She’s smarter than any dog I know. So I got to thinking, let’s make a list of why CATS are BETTER than DOGS….I particuarly like #8 on the list I’ve linked…

“8. Cats tend to respond better to women than men due to the fact that women have higher pitched voices — or maybe because they’re just smarter than dogs… and men.”

1. Cats are less needy, less smelly, and more cleanly than dogs.
2. Cats do not chew up my fabulous shoes.
3. Cats can fetch, with training, just as well as dogs.
4. Cats do not slobber all over their fetching toys.
5. Cats do not lick your face.
6. Your turn! Comment with more!

cat tip of the day:  never underestimate your cat’s intelligence.

I forgot. I’ll do it now instead.
Blogging everyday about the love of your life is an easy thing to do…especially when there happens to be a foot of snow outside preventing you from doing anything else. Overall, the constant blogging wasn’t difficult to do at all, because there was absolutely nothing else to do. My car was stuck all week.

I had every intention of keeping this daily blogging routine, but found that once the snow had melted and my car had been dug out, the daily blogging wasn’t quite so easy.

Which leads me to the conclusion that those who blog daily probably don’t have a full-time job, a full-time class schedule, law school applications, a lovely boyfriend, and WVU News madness on their plate….I hope I have that luxury one day.

Until then, expect two lovely Kenzie blogs a week, and if she does something spectacular (as I know she will), expect more
