    Ok here's the deal. My husband and I have separated (working on the divorce), and I have an amazing new boyfriend named Jason! Unfortunately, the wonderful new man is SERIOUSLY allergic to cats. I took the boys down to my Dad's house while I was moving and getting settled down after the split...

    Tidy Cats Breeze Boxes - Anybody Want Some?

    Ok - Well it looks like we are about to have to give up on the Breeze boxes that I have been happily using for a about 4 years now. I love love love them! But for some reason about the time we brought Jinkers home last September, Mulder decided he was no longer going to poop in them. We've...

    Just got the boys new collars and – Love them!!!!

    I like to use handmade cotton collars for the boys with their information on the collar itself because I canâ€8482t stand the jingle of a hanging tag. For a couple of years now Iâ€8482ve been using Ragtime Pet Collars and I LOVE their products. But, recently I needed to buy the boys new collars...

    Cruise Pics! (Warning... LOTS of Pics)

    Ok so I'm sure I told some of you I was going on a cruise last week. We went with my Husband's parent's, kind of a family vacation except they weren't stuck to us all the time, we just had dinner together every night and they paid for everything. We sailed with Norwegian Cruise Line on their...

    Made a Tough Choice...

    We gave Jinkers to my Dad and Stepmom. DH and I (and Spooky and Mulder) love him dearly, but it wasn't a good fit for our family. We had some improper elimination issues (pooping outside the Breeze box) which we couldn't seem to correct other than to use regular cat litter (non-scooping)...

    Converted TidyCats Breeze to use Safflower Seeds (Instructions/Photos Included)

    Ok so Jinkers has decided he absolutely will not use the TidyCats Breeze System for #2, no matter what. Someone else had mentioned that the SmartCat Box works similar to the Breeze but that the seed was a closer texture to regular cat litter. Since I can't use regular litter due to it triggering...

    An Aww Moment

    So yesterday I was running around like crazy making pies and dressing and packing for our trip to the in-laws this weekend. Plus trying to clean up after myself with all that. Then I didn't sleep well last night, so this morning after the cats woke me up to feed them, I decided to go back to...

    I feel like the worst Meowmy ever!

    So Jinkers has been having some trouble with the litter box so we decided we needed to re-train him on it. To do this we have had to confine him until he can get the hang of it. We use the TidyCats Breeze litter system, but Jinkers doesn't poop in it, he never has been willing to. (Apparently...

    The Smoky Mountains

    We live less than an hour's drive from the Smoky Mountain National Park. On nice days DH and I like to drive up there and grill out at one of the picnic areas. Today we were going to grill but got stuck in traffic and didn't get out there til late, so we drove the trail at Cades Cove instead. I...

    Mulder is so abused...

    Mulder wants us to know he shuns our enormous (red) cat bed. And our cat toys. Feel sorry for him, he HAS to lay on the hard, cold, wood floor. And he's bored. (We don't feed him either.)

    Best Buddy Kitties!

    My Spooky and Mulder are very bonded to each other. I always joke that Spooky is my cat, and Mulder is Spooky's cat. But seriously, these two are always together. I have never seen two cats adore each other the way these guys do. I hope someday Jinkers can share in this special bond, and they...

    Vibes for Me, Please. (Female Related Issues, You've Been Warned!)

    I've been putting off posting about this as I wanted to wait until I knew more about what was going on. But I am losing sleep about it right now so I thought I would go ahead and share thinking it might help me to talk about it. I think I have mentioned before I don't know many people where I...

    East Tennessee Meet Up - Pics!

    So yesterday evening Capt_Jordi and Catsknowme came over to my house and we all hung out for awhile! I wish more people could have come so we will definitely have to do this again! We played with my boys, went out for pizza and then to Jordi's place to meet Google and Joey! It was a funny...

    Spooky Mulder and Jinkers!

    I know it has been at least 3 days since I posted new pics of my boys! So I must post them now. Its an obligation! Mulder decided to make up for his lack of photos last time by being extra photogenic this time. Mulder in his Look-Alike Bed. And for contrast, here is Mulder in the same bed...

    Ripping up my carpet (While wearing soft paws)

    Jinkers is the first cat I have ever owned that was not declawed. I know the official stance of TCS is anti-declaw, but when I adopted Spooky and Mulder it was just one of those things our vet did when you took them for neuter. I have since learned differently and of course do not plan to declaw...

    For Those with Toilet Paper Loving Cats...

    I was looking on this site for something to lock our bi-fold doors with (to keep Spooky out since he knows how to open them). I found something that is supposed to keep pets from unrolling the paper! One of the reviews said it helped with the scratching/shredding problem too, but I have never...

    More Pictures of Spooky, Mulder and Jinkers!

    Is anybody tired of seeing my cats yet? I keep taking pictures of them, I am hoping to get some good ones so I can finally have a signature made after being on the site for 2 years! They don't have fancy markings or any specific breed, but I think all three of my boys are pretty studly (if...

    DH had surgery today... and has left me an emotional mess! (long...)

    Once again I just need someone to talk to. Ever since I moved to Knoxville to get married I don't know anybody here! And with my sister just having the baby last night, the whole family is too busy in new baby fever to talk to me. Ken (DH) had a tonsillectomy and uvulectomy today. He had bad...
