That moment

... when your grooming game was tight, but then your bro totally messed with it.

#catlick

Maxwell: I see what you did there, Momma.

Hide-and-Evade Level: Expert



Who's the clever kitty in the family, now?


THIS guy!

(sorry, Faraday, dood ....)


I will hurt you for this, Maxie. You just better hope I come back wif all my teefs ....

(Yes, Maxie hid this morning, and Faraday stood a little too close to mom, gloating about it. And there were appointments to keep. And one thing led to another ....)

Maxie's Request

Maxwell: Uh, hullo? Miz Tooth Fairy? Are you there?


No offense or anything, but if you don't mind ...



I'd kinda like to keep the rest of my teeth today, if that's okay.

Maxie's at the dentist getting his teeth cleaned today.
Here's hoping he gets to keep that snaggle-tooth.
(and all the rest of them, too!)

Thursday's Purrs: Milo

"Are you looking for a sophisicat? Look no further, you've found me - Milo!

I’m well groomed, erudite and my manners are absolutely impeccable. I always use my litter box (of course). I’m a gentleman through and through."


"I’m affectionate, playful, and friendly to all—men, women and children. I’ve been accused of being a bit of a couch potato, but really I’d much prefer a 'lap potato' — I love to be held.

I’m particularly skilled at snuggling and purring. In fact, I tend do quite a bit of both—usually at the same time!

I’m also an excellent conversationalist. I like to keep a good chat going, and am always willing to share my worldly experience with you. Above all, I’m a true, loyal and loving companion. And who doesn’t need one of those?"



"Now, you may ask how a purrfect gentleman like me ended up in a shelter at my age (ahem ... 13. Not that 13’s old, mind you).

Well, I originally lived with an elderly person who placed me with friends when living arrangements had to change. The friends were quite good to me, but were just not ready to care for a cat with diabetes."


"Yes, I am diabetic. Something that’s pretty common in cats and really not a big deal in my book. Right now, my diabetes is mild and controlled by diet alone! I eat a cat food formulated for diabetics - and that's it! Someday, I may need to go onto insulin, but I’m a very gentle and well-mannered guy and giving me an injection wouldn’t be any problem at all.

Most diabetic kitties do quite well, and I expect to live a long, happy, healthy life just like any other cat. So, if you think a gent like me might make your family complete, won’t you please come down to Kansas City Pet Project’s main shelter and say hello? I’d be most honored to make your acquaintance, and absolutely thrilled to share my life and love with you.

Yours sincerely, Milo"

Milo would love for you to visit him at KC Pet Project's Main Shelter today!

Groundhog "Job Shadow" Day

Maxwell: Doot-da-dum-de-dum ...
Nope. No shadow here. Nada. Nothing to see, move along, Winter.


Oh, hullo. Just practicing for tomorrow. I plan to job shadow Mister Groundhog.
You know, make sure he makes the right predictions and all.


Just call me Punxsutawney Maxwell.

February 2: Groundhog Job Shadow Day.
It's a Thing.
(and it's actually pretty cool, too!)
