62 days

I did it. I wrote about my favorite animal for 62 days. 62 days. I would like to say this was so much easier to write about cats for 31 days the second time. I recommend making a list. Or you simply need to just take a BUNCH of pictures of cats and write about them for 31 days.




Anyway more importantly, I did it! I did the unthinkable. I can't wait to try to complete this task again. Then I will be at 93 days of cats! Zoey is gonna need to do some more cute and interesting things for me to write about. Anyway, as the last post of this year I am going to leave you with so super adorable pictures of Zoey to hold you off until next time!

Cat Quotes once more...

"A Cat will be your friend, but never your slave".

This is what my crazy cat calendar says about cats today. And you know what it is so true. Zoey will be my friend, she will sit on my face in the morning when she is hungry. She will sleep at the feet of my bed when it is night time. And she will greet me at the garage door when she hears the door go up. But Zoey would NEVER pour me my cereal. She would never help me pick out what shoes to wear. She would never make me coffee. If anything I am more the slave to Zoey than she is to me!

I wake up each morning at 5:00 and feed her. I give her a bath weekly. James cleans out her litter box. Our life literally revolves around this cat. Humans are the true slaves in the Human/Cat relationship.

But again I am fine with all of it! I love my cat-child Zoey and even though she won't actually help me do anything I know she loves me too!

Zoey's perspective on the "Red Dot"

Red Dot (the lazer pointer is moving all around the room)

Zoey: Oh em gee!! There is the red dot! I must catch it! Why is it moving away.

I move the lazer pointer in a circle

Zoey: Ahh I am so dizzy! But I can't stop, I must have the red dot!!!

Now I slow down the movement of the lazer pointer. 

Zoey: Oh I am catching my breath. Oh I can finally get the red dot!!

I continue to move the lazer pointer.

Zoey: I hate this so much. I want to stop. Why red dot? Why do you do this to me??

I turn the lazer pointer off.

Zoey: See I outsmarted it!! It is done!! 

I turn it back on.

Zoey: I will catch you red dot! I  will if it's the last thing I do!!

This continues for the rest of forever :)

Holly

Holly is my sisters first cat. Mom and Dad surprised us each with a cat when we were in Middle School. Holly has helped my sister sleep through the night and has always put up with my sisters crazy antics.

Well now Holly is 12. She is getting older and we have recently discovered that she has kitty arthritis. My mom was the one to discover this. Holly has some bald patches on her knees and around her joints. You see when cats are in pain they lick their wounds. Holly continues to lick her knees and her joints and the Doctor has said it is most likely arthritis.

My parents continue to baby her, Holly has her favorite spot on the couch that is only hers. If she gets up somewhere too high mom and dad are there to help her get down. We probably don't have many years left, but we will make all the days she has left count!

The toilet

The Toilet. Cats don't use toilets. Cats use nasty litter boxes. At least this is what I though until today...

Today Zoey flushed the toilet. She flushed it. She stood up on the toilet seat (the cover was down) and flushed the toilet! She actually did it! I called my mom to tell her this amazing feat and guess what! She said "yeah Kelsey, we potty trained our first cat!" What??!!?? This was all before I was born so apparently once my parents started having kids, they stopped teaching their cats to use the toilet!

Their first cat was named Woosey. They named her this because my dad wanted to call her the "Wonder Woose". That's right. My parents are weirder than me! Anyway, they potty trained her. Like the cat went poo poo in the potty! Apparently when you are training your cat to use the toilet you slowly move the litter box closer and closer to the toilet. Once the cat is comfortable you slowly put litter in the toilet until the cat uses the toilet. And then you give the cat a treat each time it flushes the toilet! So weird! But if you want to learn more about potty training cats, watch the youtube videos! It's crazy!

Cat Apps for the Ipad!

I know. It probably surprised you too. Well someone, somewhere made an App for CATS! Seriously, I am not the craziest cat person ever! This app is free, so you can all download it. If you type in "cat app" in the app store this is the only app that pops up! The idea of the app is to catch as many fish as you can in about a minute. The game automatically levels you up so it seems like the cat is doing a great job, but really she could just sit there and do nothing and would win the game!

I would also like to mention that two year olds also like to play this game almost as much as cats! There are several two year olds in my life group. Every time they see James or I they immediately start asking for the fish game! It's pretty precious.

More importantly here is a video of Zoey playing the fish game. She is also sitting in an oatmeal box...because you know cats...

A very kitty christmas

I love cats... at least the cat is out of the bag now hehehehehe.

Anyway I started writing this blog on cats last year. I encouraged all of my students as well as my family to read the blog. And since everyone did, I ended up with sooo many Christmas presents for my cat or about my weird cat obsession.

Here is the list of hilarious cat gifts that brought so much joy to my life...

1. This cat sign
2. A hilarious cat teacup
3. Cat leggings!
4. Christmas cat clothes for Zoey
5. An automatic cat lazer toy
6. A cat calendar
7. SOOO many cat balls/toys for Zoey to play with
8. Someone bought Zoey a really cute stocking holder for her little baby cat stocking :)
9. Zoey also got sooo much catnip and cat treats!
10.  And for the best surprise I bought myself the ugliest Christmas sweater ever!!

When I thought she couldn't surprise me anymore...

She jumped on the kitchen table...it wasn't that annoying, just gross.

Then she jumped on the kitchen counter...still weird, but I can bop her on the nose and push her off.

Then she jumped on the fridge....just plain nasty, but still not that shocking.

And then this happened....




She jumped on top of the upper counter! How did this happen?? I was doing laundry in the laundry room and I heard a weird noise. I ran to the kitchen and I found Zoey up here! How does this even happen?? I guess this is what happens when we don't have many boundaries...oops. 

Currently James is dusting up there so the next time she jumps up dust bunnies won't fall to the ground...

The Laundry Room

The Laundry Room.

It's loud, the dryer moves on it's own, Zoey's litter box is there, generally the washing machine is leaking water....and Zoey has a perch in this room.

You would think that all the above listed things would make Zoey hate this room. However, it is one of her favorite places. We have a window in the room that allows wind to finally blow through the whole house and Zoey loves to watch everything!

And as I listed above...our laundry room is falling apart! One weekend the clothes weren't getting dry, water was EVERYWHERE, the washer is so old that while it is working it moves, and sometimes dumps over her litter box. This room is a hot mess, I feel like at some point in the near future James and I will have to buy a new washer and dryer, but for the time being Zoey apparently loves this room!

Zoey's Room AKA the "pink room"

I have mentioned that James and I bought a house this year! We bought this house back in July, and the house is amazing! The only problem we had with the house was 2 paint colors. One room was HOT pink and the other was lavender purple. Needless to say we painted them! And Zoey has now claimed the "pink room" as hers.

The very first day that we started painting the pink room she claimed her territory. As you can see in the picture below she was saying goodbye to the pink room. The pink was a little too bright for everyones eyes and we were all glad to see it leave.
Saying her final goodbye to the really HOT pink room!


Now that this room is painted "saharan dessert" she LOVES it! If you can't find the cat she is usually cuddled up on her bed in the room sleeping. There is sooo much cat fur all over the comforter now, I will probably never get it out! But at least I know where to find her and she loves her bed :)
Zoey is not in this picture, but she is usually found curled up on the end of the bed by the window!

Spring Cleaning

I know most of you spent your spring break going to cool places, playing all the new video games or just sleeping in. I spent my spring break cleaning! And I LOVED it! I haven't actually like deep cleaned my house since February (probably really January??), I am a teacher! I am a very busy woman! It was wonderful! I moved things around, I put all the laundry in its final resting place, and I have also made a giant pile of things that need to be donated!

I would also like to bring the cat part in now...Zoey is oddly curious about all the cleaning supplies and loves to follow me while I clean. That is until the MONSTER (the vacuum comes out). She is terrified of the vacuum. Even if I just pull it out of the closet she will run. I don't even know where she runs to, she hides and comes out about 3 hours after the vacuum has been put away! Crazy cat!

Anyway, I enjoyed my spring break spent cleaning, and I hope you enjoyed yours as well!

Backyard Cat

July of 2016 James and I bought our very first house! It was a stressful and exciting time! We LOVE this house and it is perfect for us and Zoey. The best part about the house is Zoey gets to have a WHOLE backyard all to herself! She loves it! She runs around, tries to catch birds, and loves eating grass. (Which she usually throws up later...).

When we were in our Apartment Zoey was not allowed to go outside. We didn't have a fence, and most of the apartment complex was street where cars were. She so badly wanted to go outside though! And then we moved into our new house and Zoey finally can be the "outdoor" cat that she has always wanted to be!

Here is a picture of Zoey stalking her prey in our backyard!
It probably sounds crazy, but we pretty much did buy this house so Zoey could have a backyard to play in, and a fence to keep her protected! We sure do love our little cat :)


Kansas City

This weekend James and I decided to make a quick trip up to KC to see our families! My parents live in Overland Park and his parents live in Lee's Summit. It is so wonderful to have them so close, we were able to see both sets in one day, and eat lunch with all 6 of us!

My blog is about cats so while I was in KC we stayed at my parents house. My parents have 2 very large cats (25 pounds each) and my sister also brought her cat (the demon) home. Altogether we had 3 cats in the house! They very rarely ever get along. But I was able to capture this precious moment shared between the three cats.

My mom had just feed them all, and they were hungry! Right after they finished eating they all went back to hissing, meowing and fighting with each other! At least I was able to capture this precious moment while it lasted!

St. Patrick's Day

I know this post is a day late, since this is technically the day after St. Patrick's Day, but I want to take a few minutes to talk about the amazing husband I have!

This St. Patrick's Day James wore a cat shirt! That's right. The crazy cat lady has found her crazy cat man! Now I don't think he really wanted to wear the shirt, but since I bought it for him (and I made him feel really guilty about it) he wore it! James is not a teacher, so at his work it is not exactly "normal" to dress up for holidays or participate in weird traditions, but because this man loves his wife, and his cat-child Zoey he wore the shirt!

I personally would love to wear it, but Walmart did not have my size! So I bought him one! You can see the picture below. And more importantly, you can see how wonderful and truly manly my husband is! (And now he has to wear the shirt once a year FOREVER!!)
That is a cat leprechaun riding a cat unicorn!

5:30 AM Wake-up Call!

5:00 AM: The alarm goes off. I decide that in 15 minutes when the alarm goes again I will actually get up to run. (Sleep for 15 more minutes).

5:15 AM: second alarm goes off. I again decide that I will actually go run at 5:30 when the next alarm goes off. (Go back to sleep again for 15 more minutes).

5:30 AM: third alarm goes off, and jump, pounce, purrrrr, the cat is now sitting on top of my face begging me to get up! I try reallly hard to go back to sleep, but I can't breathe cause you know she is sitting on my FACE! I finally get up, go to the kitchen, feed the cat, and I finally go for a run!

Sometimes I hate my morning "alarm", but at the end of the day, I know that Zoey is just trying to look out for me and is trying to make sure I get in my daily work out in. I love her and she is trying to make sure I don't get fat lol!

The Brain Break Club

I am sure most of you now are wondering why I am not the lady in charge of the Crazy About Cats Club, and honestly the answer to that is, Mrs. Abbott took it from me before I had a chance :)
I am however, the sponsor for the Brain Break Club!

This club does understand my love for cats. My favorite Brain Break is probably Kitty High Five or Cat Party! I like them because they are about cats, but also because they are just down right WEIRD! The dude at the end shows up wearing a CAT head! I also enjoy the llama song...but that is because it is also weird!

I love that I am the sponsor for this  club. I get to share my amazing dancing abilities with several other 5th and 6th graders and they all get to watch weird cat people dance as well! If you haven't yet, I hope you will consider joining my club as well!

Cat Nursery Rhymes

Rain, Rain go away...
The cat hates you
It gets wet and meows.

Twinkle, Twinkle little star...
My cats eyes are brighter than stars and are twiklier.

Row, Row, Row your boat
Cats hate water and will not get on boats.

The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout... and was eaten by the cat.

Rock a bye kitty on the tree top...
The cat has claws and will not fall off.

Mom and Cat Hide in Seek!

Zoey has such a fun personality. Cats have personalities much like humans and babies. Zoey loves to hide around corners and jump out and scare you! It is so funny! She creeps around the corner and hops out and makes her and her tail all "big and scary". She thinks she scares me, but she just ends up looking cute!

I have now taken this creeping up on me and I have turned it into a game! I hide around the corner and slowly back away until she peeks around and jumps. We will play this game for hours! Most cats get bored doing the same thing over and over again, but Zoey loves playing this with me!

Recently I have also tried creeping up on her, and it usually scares her away. But recently she has been "faking" being scared and then jumps out at me! I know this is like the silliest thing in the whole wide world, but I had never met a cat who liked to play games, but I am so glad I have taught Zoey how to do this!

Shark Cat

This is Zoey in the Shark hat!

Sharks and cats...what do they have in common. Well not much...But when your coworker, Mrs. Crouch, buys your cat a shark hat you proudly make your cat wear it! And first of all Zoey looks super cute in her shark hat. My sister's cat also has a cute shark bed, and matching litter box. Maybe my sister actually has a shark problem....

I know that I have a problem because now my coworkers are all sharing cat related stories on my facebook page. Mrs. Greek bought me kitty christmas wrapping paper. I clearly have a cat problem now but I know that sometimes my cat brings happiness or a laugh to my coworker.

Auto-Cat Feeders

James and I love to travel. We love to visit our friends our families and we really love to go on cruises. But we have Zoey. And as I mentioned in an earlier post, Zoey does love to ride in the car so she usually goes with us. In the off chance that we are not visiting a cat friendly home we have an Auto-Cat feeder!

This thing is so cool! We can leave her alone for up to 4 meals! We simply pour the portions she needs in the food bowls we set the timer and viola! She can feed herself! This is not Zoeys favorite option. That's because she can't beg for food, and it only opens at a certain time, and it's not exactly the portion she is looking for.

The first time we used this contraption we set it up and poured in the food and Zoey tried to open it with her mouth and paws! She could literally smell the food on the inside and so badly wanted to eat!

This Auto-Timer may be one of the coolest inventions ever and allows James and I to travel and see the world!

Real Cat Owners

"Real cat owners know, now one really owns a cat".

I found this quote on my daily calendar of cats. And it has inspired this blog post. Cats don't really let people own them. The cat owns the person.

Cats tend to be stand offish and independent. They choose when to be pet, they let you know when they are hungry, they can use the bathroom on their own and so much more. Cats really own you!

I know this and James and I joke that Zoey really owns the house and simply lets us live here! It is pretty true. She kinda has us running the house based on what she needs! I'm okay with this though! I just love Zoey and the life I have!

ROADTRIP!

Most cats hate being in the car.

Most cats hate going anywhere near the garage.

Most  cats are scared of the noise of the car.

Well not my cat!

Zoey LOVES road trips. James and I each have family in KC, so anytime we go to visit family we bring the cat. We pack her up, with a bag full of toys, just like she was a real child! We bring her little bed she sleeps in and once we are on the highway, she just sleeps in the back seat! I kid you not! This cat is a weirdo!

This summer James and I were in a wedding, so of course we drove. It is the cheaper option, and this way we can bring the cat! She actually didn't make it to the wedding, she stayed at my aunts house in St. Louis. Anyway, this is the longest road trip she has taken with us. Most trips are the KC trips that last about two hours.
This is a pic from the Road trip this summer. From left to right you have, Nathan (James' brother), Me, Zoey and James!

Today she also took a trip up to the High School to pick up one of the neighbor kids from track practice. She loved it! She got to snuggle one of her favorite people and got to see the cows on the way! She sure does love road trips and I love that I have a cat who doesn't hate the car!

This is the picture from this afternoon, while we were waiting on Austin!

Humira

Humira.

This is what the Humira pen looks like. I have to give James the shots every other week. They are pretty scary!


One word. One word, that changed my life (mostly James') forever.

Humira is a biologic medicine that is used to treat a vast majority of autoimmune disorders. Humira for this family was given to us to help "cure" James' Ulcerative Colitis. (See previous post). Going on a biologic is not the first course of action we have taken for his disease. We have tried steroids, diets, every medicine known to man, liquid diets, not eating, and the list goes on and on. (imagine 10 years of this). We were approached about 2 years ago about finally starting to use the magical Humira. And honestly we didn't jump at the first opportunity. There were so many questions. Would James be "cured"? Would this really work? Would he have to continue taking medicine? Would the side-effects be worth it?

After taking all of this into consideration and many, many months of prayer and discussion we decided to take the jump to use the magical medicine. And you know what??!! It worked! I got my husband back! Zoey got a "new" daddy. He is able to run, and go grocery shopping and sit through church (the WHOLE sermon), AND he is able to actually complete his job!

Now, I'm not saying that he is 100% cured. He has bad days still, just the good days outweigh the bad ones. He still has to take some medicine, and we are slowly figuring out what foods he can and can't eat. But all of this is worth it! I am married to  a living miracle who is happy, and got his life back! Humira I LOVE YOU!!!!

Princess Kitty

I found this quote on my calendar of daily cats (that's right, I have a calendar of cats:))and I just had to share and write about how this quote is all too true!


"Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God".

Princess Zoey lives up to this quote all too much. She walks around the house like she owns the place. She climbs on the counters, sleeps wherever she wants, even if that is your face. She licks the food off of our plates, and I always make sure to give her my leftover cereal milk. Actually thinking back on it, maybe I don't have enough boundaries... Whatever....She is a princess! Zoey is the Princess of our house! I also feel like all cats feel that they are God and all humans must bow down to them. I won't actually bow down to Zoey, but I sure will continue to treat her like the Princess that she is!

Cats on their Backs

Not Zoey, but a cute kitty on it's back!

I walked into my house this evening after spending time with our life group, and I walked in and saw Zoey laying on her back showing/stretching out her stomach. I have seen multiple cats do this, and I had heard multiple rumors that it means different things for different cats,  so I hit the internet and here is what I have come up with!

A cat will show you it's stomach when it truly trusts you! They do this because cats are most vulnerable when they expose their belly (or in less fancy terms, they trust you). If you think about it, a predator could easily catch them if they were in that position. This reason definitely makes this cat momma happy :) I sure hope that this is the reason! 

Another reason could be that Zoey was just simply feeling relaxed. When cats are at peace they rest on their backs and simply take in the world around them! Again, this would not be a bad answer for my precious child. She is fed, has a house over her head, and doesn't have to clean up after herself. I would say she is definitely relaxed!

And the last reason my research has led me to is....Zoey simply wants a belly rub. This I know is a LIE! Every time I try to rub her belly she bites me! This cannot be the reason she was showing me her belly tonight!

Regardless of what the answer is I know that Zoey trusts me, is relaxed and definitely does NOT want a belly rub!

A very Star Wars Christmas Take 2!

All the stockings hung by the chimney with care

There are a two people in this world. Those who watch, love and breathe Star Wars and those who don't. I belong to the first category and so does my husband!(I mean we have a giant life-sized Darth Vader that sits in our living room :)) As well as the rest of the family. Star Wars is one of the many reasons my husband and I married each other. His family is just as passionate about these fan favorites. They are so passionate that we have now had 2 Star Wars themed Christmases! (2015 and 2016).
All the Legos we put together as a family. I had no idea how fun Legos were until this Christmas!
My mother-in-law really outdid herself. She decorated the tree to look like Darth. (See picture below).
Everyone needs a Darth Vader Tree
She bought us all Star Wars themed Legos that we completed together as a family. She bought us all R2D2 stockings, and of course matching R2 costumes for Zoey (see her costume in a past post from 2016) as well as their dogs! She bought fancy Star Wars china that we will continue to use every Christmas from here on out.
The fancy Star Wars China we will get to use forver!
Christmas is already a time I love and cherish because I get to spend it with my family and cat, but this one was truly amazing! We spent the whole day watching all the movies and putting together Legos with the cat and dogs sitting by the fire! A Christmas memory I will cherish forever!

Ulcerative Colitis


Ulcerative Colitis.

Two words. 
Two Simple words.
Two simple words that have changed the way my family operates. 

Ulcerative Colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease  that causes inflammation and ulcers in the digestive tract. Essentially UC makes the need to use the restroom increase, as well as a WHOLE bunch of other side effects. 

My husband has been fighting this disease for 10 years! 10 years! He was 15 when the symptoms first popped up and has continued to fight like a true hero! I have only known him for a total of 6 years, so the entirety of our relationship and our marriage he has been fighting UC. And after all these years of constant different medicines, constant flare ups, days of extreme exhaustion and even some good days sprinkled in there, he has NEVER stopped fighting. He is my hero! Each day he gets up, goes to work, deals with normal work stress, and this disease; and he manages to always keep fighting. He is truly amazing!
Zoey and her Daddy cuddling on the couch
Now Zoey, our cat-child, has only ever known her dad for 2 years. And in these two years I can tell that she knows that he is dealing with this annoying disease. She will cuddle up with him while he is sleeping at night. On the bad days, she will sit by his feet, and just be there for him. Cats are truly very perceptive to humans and their behaviors.It is pretty precious, she really loves her dad. She may never know him without the disease, but recently my husband has tried some new medication and I will be sure to fill you all in on another post!

Kong Zoom Groom Cat Brush

(This is my personal Review of the Kong Zoom Groom Cat Brush, written only for the Slice of Life, I promise :))



5 Stars
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love this brush! This is a fairly inexpensive brush. It is easy to hold and bends to the ridges of your cats body. It is also for cats with sensitive skin since the painful poky bristles are gone! This brush allows my cat who is not a cuddler to actual sit on my lap a pet her. She will start purring the second I pull the brush out and will not stop even when I push the brush away. The cat comes in a beautiful purple color. (This is most cats favorite color just so you know). There are a few negatives. The brush will make the cat child shed aggressively, and cat hair will end up EVERYWHERE! Like your shirt will look like it is made out of cat hair... But to know that you cat enjoyed being brushed is totally worth all the hair.

I recommend all crazy cat lovers buy this brush. It is great for all cats of all ages!

Friday Exhaustion

Today was Friday. My Friday started at 5 AM when I decided to run. I had a great run with a wonderful friend. I went home got ready for work and then I was off to school. There I chased missing assignments, graded projects, gave tests, told funny jokes, drank LOTS of coffee and had several students to check up on. I love my job, but by the time I am finally leaving and pulling into that driveway on a Friday I am one tired worn out lady.

And then I see Zoey staring at me through the garage window (you see our garage door, like the actual door, not the one that moves up and down, has a window in it). And then all the exhaustion and wear just melt away. In those moments that I see that precious little kitties face in the window I know that I am home and that I can finally relax and enjoy my family.
Zoey looking at me through our really random window. This was a posed picture and she WAS NOT having it.

I hope as each of you drove/rode the bus/walked home when you saw that precious mom/dad/cat/dog/child etc. you truly felt like you were at home and at peace!

Enjoy your weekend! Mine will be filled with Kitty snuggles.

Genetics

I am a Science teacher. I teach 6th grade science to some pretty amazing sixth graders. Each year while teaching I tend to fall into a rut, I love animals I really do, but they are not exactly my favorite thing to teach about each year. This is also the unit with the least amount of labs so I know that the kiddos aren't having as much fun as they normally do.

But then I get to Genetics. And this is when I get my joy back! I LOVE genetics I love explaining to my kiddos the why they look the way they do, why they can or cannot roll their tungs into tacos, and so many more amazing things! We fill out punnett squares, so many punnett squares. And I get to see my students get so excited about something that I have so much passion for. We also get to talk about genetic mutations...and this is where the cats come in!

Did you know Calico cats are usually always female? Well I do and here is why. The Calico coloring is carried on the X chromosome. In order for this "mutation" of colors to show up the cat has to have two X chromosomes! Isn't this just crazy?? Now there is a like 1 in 1 million chance that the Calico cat will be male. Which is even more amazing!!

Anyway, I thought all my loyal readers would appreciate a mini genetic lesson today about cats! I also feel that I have the cutest female Calico cat there is. See Below...

31 more days of CATS!


The Slice of Life, is always such a fun time at my school. My students, and colleagues all participate in writing for 31 days. It has amazed me over the last few years how excited my students get about writing. It is truly inspirational. Good work kiddos!!

However...I cannot just stop at the challenge of writing for 31 days I have to take it a step further. (I'm just a little too competitive :)) I plan on writing ONLY about cats for 31 days! I know those of you who are new to the challenge think that I will never be able to achieve this, well the joke is on you! I already did it once, and now the challenge is to write for 31 more days about ONLY cats AGAIN!

Some think I am crazy, well you are probably right! Because I am crazy about CATS! Hahahahaha. Anyway, these next 31 days you will see posts about my cat, my sisters cat, my parents cats, cats in general, you will see super cute pictures of my cat, funny cat quotes and the list goes on and on!

I am proud of all of you for taking this challenge, and I hope you enjoy reading about this teachers crazy obsession with cats!

Orson OUT!
