Status updates about my cats

Mr. T (left) and Sally Timms
There are two kinds of people in the world: cat people, and people who find cat people infinitely annoying. As a reformed dog person, I can see both sides. Therefore, I have restrained myself from making all my Facebook status updates about my new kittens, Mr. T and Sally Timms, who just happen to the BEST AND CUTEST THINGS EVER. (Really. Look at them!) Here, to get it out of my system, are some things I resisted posting on Facebook.

1. Can't get off the couch. Got 2.5 lbs of kitten on my lap.

2. For some reason I occasionally pronounce Mr. T as "Mistah T." Friends of a certain age might remember Horshack from Welcome Back, Kotter. I sound like him.

3. I allow Mr. T to sit on my head. There's gotta be something bad about this.

4. I have been about 75% happier since we got the cats. 

5. In the past week I have found myself Googling "cat butt smells" and "kitten stool soft." (Don't worry, everything's fine. It does, however, make Item No. 3 all the more alarming.)

6. Cats who desperately want to get into the fridge or dishwasher should be careful what they wish for.

7. I know you think your cat is cute, too. That's great.

8. What cat toys do you recommend?

Post all that and more! They're too cute! I can't get enough.

There's this thing called (I think) Cat Dancer that is basically a wire hanger with a bunch of cardboard cylinders on the end that Spiro really enjoyed, till he got to old to care about playing. Other than that, a box or a bag.

Cat Dancer is the bee's knees but it has to be that original wire hanger. A few years back, they fancified it. Wrong!
You need to get some fresh catnip sacks, too. Hours of stoned kitties.

My cats stole one of my little troll dolls and would carry it all over the house. (I think they liked to lick the hair.) Other faves - those little curvy plastic rings (super cheap and last forever or until they get stuck under the fridge); anything with a feather on it (but those don't last long); laser pointers.

What beautiful kittens! I find that cats often ignore the actual toys bought for them, preferring instead to frolic with shoes, shoelaces, bags, pens, pen caps, neckties, laundry, and blankets. Just give them lots of love and furniture to jump on!

Yeah. I do think my cat is cute.
But yours are cool, too. We need to meet them
