Just had to share this: The Winnipeg Humane Society Kitty Midnight Madness!

I swear, Jetta is every bit as much of a Precious Princess as her sister, Opal, when it comes to food. It has to be exactly the right canned food or Jetta walks away from it (leaving more for Zoe to scarf down). And if the placement isn't just right and the mood right and the stars in proper alignment, she will also turn up her nose and walk away.

I weighed Pippin yesterday and he's exactly the same weight he was back in August - 19.5 lbs. We'd gotten him down to 19.1, so he's backsliding a bit. We're going to reduce his amount of food slightly to see if we can get him past this plateau. We have to watch him like hawks when the girls' food bowls are out, though. He knows very well that they are Forbidden, but he can't help himself.

The new job is keeping me terribly busy and sadly I don't get to be around my cats very much, except on weekends. I'm not happy about it and the cats aren't happy about it, especially my poor office cats.

I decided to give Jetta a catnip mousie this morning, even though I know the inevitable outcome. She goes on high alert the instant she hears me open the velcro on the underside of the mousie to insert the catnip.

Sure enough, within the hour the mousie was lying at the bottom of the water bowl. I changed out the water and wrung out the mousie, then put it up in a hidden spot where I was sure she wouldn't find it. Yeah, right. She managed to find it in the afternoon and the mousie was soon submerged for a second time.

This one batch of female cats, mainly Saffy and Jetta, are obsessed with the whole toy-in-the-water thing. I'm wondering, has anyone else seen this kind of behavior in your cats? If so, feel free to leave a comment at the Moggyblog Facebook page.

Happy 2011. The Tales of the Moggy Horde have been around now for thirteen years.

My dear Saffy girl was waiting for me as I went into the bathroom to have a shower. She had left a mousie gift right outside the shower door. I showered her with love and appreciation, but she quickly left when it was time for the actual shower.

Wonderful pictures: Lynx and Calico fall in love.
