An Update from the Crazy Cat Lady


Charlie is growing like a weed. He's almost six months old! That means that in a couple of weeks he'll be getting surgery, yes, surgery to remove his BALLS. OH MY GOD HOW COULD YOU TAKE AWAY HIS MASCULINITY? (That's what a lot of Chileans are thinking right now; read Andrea's great post on the subject)

Anyway, I'd like to take this time to share one of Charlie's stranger habits. He loves human food. In the past, I've experienced cats who like the usual: tuna, chicken, milk, etc. Normal foods that normal cats like. Charlie, on the other hand, has a finer palate. He loves yogurt and waits patiently to lick out my bowl every morning. He's eaten peaches, rice and sun dried tomatoes. He likes tomato sauce and cheese. And today I discovered he'll eat lettuce and have video proof! Now before I show you this video, I have to make a few excuses. First of all, I've lost the battle against him jumping up on the table. I was sick last week and didn't have the energy to make him get down. Now it's a lost battle. 99% of the time, I don't let him eat off my plate while he's on the table. But today I was so engrossed reading something online, I didn't realize he was crunching on the left over lettuce on my plate. Also, Mom, I aplogize for sniffling. I know you hate that.

Without further ado...Charlie the Lettuce Cruncher.



Stay tuned for more crazy Charlie antics from the Crazy Cat Lady.

my first chilean vet told me that if cats don't eat human food mixed with cat food they get diseases.

i called bs but just in case, i guess charlie's safe

Oh, and also, one cat does not make a crazy cat lady.

Get that cat off the table! Smack him hard! Cats are not allowed on the table much less eating off your plate. Discipline. He is not a person.

Love, You know who

Danielle: Yes! A bit of a mane. And yes, I realize I'm not a crazy cat lady yet, but, who knows. Maybe someday...haha.

Lydia: I've heard that too! Not from the vet though. Someone once told me: the good thing about having a cat is that you don't have to buy them special food. Ummm what?

Dad: I know. I know.

Kelly: yeah he does, kind of!
