World Television Day

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 21 Nov 21

This morning, I was curious about what holidays there were today. I did a search and found that, among other things, today is World Television Day. The holiday was established in 1996 by the United Nations. The UN site describes...

Rambunctious kitty vs. big sister

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 21 Nov 21

Our male cat likes to play (and play and play and play and...). His older sister is past the point of wanting to spend every waking moment playing; she prefers to spend time doing other things such as meowditating, getting...

A catly Saturday morning

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 20 Nov 21

I am not to move from my spot. That was decided about an hour or so ago by two little tabbies who decided that it was time for their mid-morning nap, which has now stretched into their pre-lunch nap. It has been a busy morning...

Fuzzy obsessions

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 19 Nov 21

I made some small steps today in the effort to get things into moving shape. It wasn't major progress, but I can see a difference, so I know that something was accomplished. As I was shifting things about in the bedroom, I found...

Traveling cats

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 19 Nov 21

Ours are traveling cats. The girl has traveled since she was a kitten (and is now an *ahem* "experienced" kitten), and the boy has now managed three trips to his credit. This morning, I was thinking about cats who travel. The...

Suspicious (Fuzzy) Minds

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 18 Nov 21

They know that something is up. They see me packing things. It's only a few pieces, very slowly. But I know that they know that there is something about to disturb the fuzziness. I am trying to be very cautious in how I do...

An odd concern

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 15 Nov 21

As we were looking over our new lease earlier, my husband paused. He had found a part that deeply concerned him. What, might you ask, was so concerning? There is a part about disruptive pets. Specifically mentioned, "barking." I...

A step

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 15 Nov 21

Finally, the paperwork for our next place has been sorted. For me, that is worthy of a happy dance. Unfortunately, my husband was too busy zeroing in on the price tag. He turned several shades whiter when I told him (yet again)...

Monday morning

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 15 Nov 21

I awoke at 4:30. I quickly realized that part of the reason why I woke up was because my husband was already up and off to doing... Well, I really don't know. Surfing the internet? Doing some work at an unreasonable hour? My...

In a dream

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 14 Nov 21

I figured something out last night. At least, I think that I have. You see, I worked out this idea in a dream. It was one of those very vivid dreams that I sometimes have, but it was thankfully not one of the horribly exhausting...

The bestest toy

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 13 Nov 21

Our cats have quite a number of toys. They just got more toys for Halloween, and there will be even more shortly. However, the toy that has captured my fuzzy boy's attention most in recent weeks is not one that was bought with...

The Anime Metamorphosis

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 12 Nov 21

I look like an anime character. Well, at least, my eyes do. The pupils have that serious dilation going on that is so popular in the world of anime. Think The Powerpuff Girls. Despite my fuzzy son's best efforts, he...

Right to the eye

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 11 Nov 21

Nighttime and kitty crazies go paw-in-paw. Our boy was all hyped up to play, play, play earlier, and he demanded that I join him. So, I did, but he quickly grew tired of how I wanted to play. So, I "pounced" on him. Did you know...

Something lighter

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 11 Nov 21

I've been listening to NPR this morning. Unfortunately, most of what they've been talking about has been rather heavy stuff. I realized just how heavy it was getting after I sat and listened to a piece on the difficulties of...

Reservoir Deer

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 11 Nov 21

There has been some thought that COVID will never entirely leave us. It has also been known for a while that deer can become infected with SARS-CoV-2. Based on the title of this post, you've probably already guessed where this is...

His midnight snack

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 11 Nov 21

I seem to have missed something. Apparently, sometime after I fell asleep last night, my cookie obsessed husband ordered cookies. I didn't know about it until this morning when he offered some to me for breakfast (and, yes, I...

The annoying countdown...

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 10 Nov 21

There is a song by the band Europe titled "The Final Countdown." I've had it floating around in my head for much of today. Except, the version that I have stuck in my head is my own parody of the song with a chorus of, "It's the...

Crushing it

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 10 Nov 21

This afternoon, our boy has been crushing it. Oh, wait... That's not quite right. I mean, he's been crushing me. He has decided, apparently, that he wants to lie on my shoulders. That works. What doesn't work, though, is...

Loose screws and a helpful cat

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 10 Nov 21

Things had feeling a bit unsteady for a bit, but I'd only spotted the culprit(s) right before we left for a few days' trip. I figured that we'd take care of the issue when we got in, but we were so wiped out by the travel that it...

Does The Dude secretly have a canine cousin?

wilsongoddard @wilsongoddard (7291) • United States 9 Nov 21

I was scrolling through YouTube a bit ago and ended up on a The Dodo video about a dog and his ducks. Cute stuff, right? What struck me, though, was the pup's name. The dog is The Dude. But, wait, isn't The Dude a handsome...
