So, I was at the natural pet food store the other day purchasing a high quality, human-grade (but reasonably priced) bag of cat food when I came across this supplement used by dog breeders. It’s called Concept-a-Bitch and contains progesterone-rich wild yams to facilitate a healthy pregnancy.
And I wasn’t surprised by this product. I’ve read [...]

If you haven’t figured this out yet, I’m a hippy who is obsessed with my two furry children, Bella Donna Bad Girl and Stinky Sphynxy.

Because I love my babes (and have an affinity for all things organic), I spend a lot of time at the natural pet food store. You’ll remember a few weeks back, [...]

So I come home from work last night only to find an ungodly amount of what appears to be cat fur lying on the floor in the computer room.

Obviously this was distressing. But the cats seemed fine – they are jumping and leaping and licking and kicking just like always.
… In fact, Stinky Sphynxy is [...]

Yesterday I wrote all about Sphynxy’s vet trip and forgot to mention what we did about his itchiness. He got a nice cortisol shot and a shiny, new germ-retardant food bowl.
And speaking of retardant - you know what’s really retardant in all this? During Dr. Fruitcake’s speech about animal nutrition, I’m thinking “This [...]

In addition to being stinky, darling Sphynx is also extremely itchy. Day-and-night night-and-day he’s got his little sharpy claws out, scratching his ears, neck and chin. It’s constant - perpetual even. I don’t know that Sphynx could go 60 seconds without scratching. That’s bad, ’cause even God rested on the Sabbath.
This extreme, [...]

Last night Sphynx was running around yelling for absolutely no reason. Loud and persistent, Mr. Kitten’s one-meow opera was really getting on my nerves.
I picked him up and cuddled. I poured him some delicious kitty kibble. I even donned ye olde fully encapsulated gas mask in order to clean his [...]

The hännihaus family is growing, as Angel and I have just added another feisty feline to the fold. Sphynx is our new kitty, so named because of his striking resemblance to his Egyptian namesake. (Big ears, huge feet, that sort of thing).
As predicted, Belle is entirely upset. The other day when I [...]

So it’s Monday.
As if to bring the day in with grand style, my darling purebred GAB (Great American Bad Ass), Bella Donna Bad Girl woke me up with a rousing ceremony that included, first cuddling so close I got fur lodged in my right nostril. As most who’ve had this experience can attest, it [...]

Because Belle got an iPOD!

She has requested that I catalog all my favorite albums in itunes post haste, so I have been forced to spend every free moment making sure the likes of Bjork, Lisa Loeb, Fugees, Coheed and Cambria, and of course, Bright Eyes are o’ hastily entered.
She has also requested that I buy [...]

Fancy scratching post to keep kitty’s claws off couch: $28
Plastic donut purchased b/c kitty seemed depressed: $5
Barbie mice to put in kitty’s Christmas stocking: $8
Realizing that in the course of a year kitty has destroyed all expensive toys and has found the greatest, most indestructible and long-lasting happiness with a rubberband that came off a [...]
