New Kitten!
Filed Under animals, cats, kittens | 28 Comments
EDIT (Tuesday June 17)
WE HAVE PICKED A NAME (Well I let Scott pick a name, because I named our other cat [Chase])
The cute little black kitten’s name will be:
Co Co Beans Tlastname
Or
Co Co (for short)
Thank you for all your wonderful suggestions, I really liked lots of them, but Scott is a picky man.
Scott and I are the proud owners of a new kitten!
Our friend’s cat had 4 kittens and I some how convinced Scott that it would be a fantastic idea to get another kitten. I’m still wondering how this happened. We have a cute orange cat at home- Chase, of whom you have seen pictures. But I think that cats are happier when there are 2 of them so they can play together! So we got another!
So here is the new addition to our family! He’s been pretty scared so far, so no great pictures. So far he likes to hide under the couch and the bed in the spare room.
I promise I’m not strangling him..
But friends and readers we need your help!
We need a name for our cute black kitten! It- is a boy, and he has a a white patch under his neck, but otherwise he’s totally black.
Any suggestions?

Introducing…Bondage Bunny!
Filed Under kittens | 7 Comments
A few years ago Telus was running commercials with uber-adorable bunnies. These bunnies did cute human things like play poker with carrot slices while “The Gambler” played in the background. How could you not fall in love with that?
While this campaign was going on, my fiance was working at Staples where there was a Telus booth. One day he came home with a gift for me:
My own Telus bunny!
He looks a little ragged now, mostly because he’s become Max’s favorite toy.
Chew toy, that is!
Max carries Bunny around like a dog. It is unbelievably cute!
One day we were thinking of ways to make Bunny an even BETTER toy for Max. We came up with this:
Bondage Bunny!
Bondage Bunny drives Max WILD.
However, after Max’s trip to the vet tomorrow, we have a feeling he might lose some of his aggressiveness. Along with his kitty balls. That’s right, Max is getting neutered on Wednesday. We’ll be dropping him off at the clinic tomorrow morning along with his Blue Jays rally towel and, of course, Bunny.

How can a tiny, 10-week-old kitten wreak such havoc??
He’s lucky he’s so darn cute.

Ask Google: When should I…
Filed Under google, humour, kittens | 4 Comments
I, like so many others, am quite dependent on Google. To an extent, nearly everyone using the internet is! For bloggers, Google creates traffic, and determines your PageRank (which, for better or for worse, carries a lot of weight). Adsense makes you money (well, makes SOME people money) while Analytics measures your traffic and it’s sources. Gmail is widely used (I, for one, have 4 Gmail accounts), as is Blogger and Feedburner (In fact, why don’t you subscribe to Five Blondes?). I could go on, but Google overtaking the world isn’t what I intended to write about.
What I intended to write about is how I need to get my cat fixed.
Max is almost 10 weeks old (and so cute!). Sooner or later, as Bob Barker used to remind me, he needs the ‘chop chop’. I guess I could get Mom to do it (she does it to piglets everyday), but a cat isn’t the same as a pig, and I hope Max will live a lot longer than your average pig. I mean, it took me TWO YEARS to convince D that we should get a kitten!
Off I went to my trusty Google search toolbar in Firefox (which took only two months of convincing D that it was safe to install) and decided to ask Google, “When should I get my cat fixed”?
I typed “When should I” when Google started suggesting. While I’m not sure how the suggestions are determined (most searched first? What they think is applicable to you?), they sure can be amusing. In order, here’s what Google suggested that I search for:
When should I…
- Get a pregnancy test?
- Refinance?
- Feel my baby move?
- Take my Christmas tree down?
- Get my w2?
- Take creatine?
To people who searched for those terms and ended up here, I don’t have your answers. However, if you’re asking about your Christmas tree, the answer is LONG AGO!
I love Google memes. Let’s start one!
