Friday Video Fun: Some Happy Places

Posted on by

With the election looming at the beginning of this week, I needed some Happy Places to go to. Here are a few of the things that I used to make me smile when I wanted to punch everything.

The sassy cup stacking otter:

I’m not really sure I could love that otter more. LOVE THE SASSY OTTER!! (h/t  The Meta Picture)

 

The first video I ever was emailed:

 

I think it explains itself. Heeee

The last one was a reboot of Spongebob’s Best Day Ever. Tom Kenny rewrote it after the 2008 election. And sometimes I would just have to play it again to regian my hope:

Do you have a “Happy Place”? What do you watch on the web to make you smile?

Caturday: Meet the tuxedos

Posted on by

Of my six cats, 2 of them are Tuxedo cats. I’ve not had the pleasure of owning a Tuxedo before these 2. They are pretty cool cats and very very intelligent…which can sometimes get them into quite a bit of trouble.

Meet my Tuxedos!

Wash

(or Hoban Washburne when he’s in trouble heh) He is my newest kitten. I adopted him from Rifle Animal Shelter. Wash is about 3 months old and is going to be a HUGE cat. He’s my big smudgy male.I had been on the lookout for one for months. I really wanted a large Maine Coon male, but those go quickly in shelters. It actually took me adopting three cats total (you’ll meet the other 2 next Caturday) to get the male that I wanted. He is a love and a snuggler and super great with the kids. My kids are really thrilled to have a kitten, cause most of our other adoptions have been special cases that aren’t really kid friendly. Wash loves to play, and isn’t really scared of anything, which is great…because as you’ll learn, most of my other cats are. Here’s some pictures of Wash at his cutest (click for larger images):

 

Mo

Yes, just “Mo”. If you know her, it fits for some reason. I adopted Mo from the Colorado Animal Rescue shelter around Christmas 2 years ago. My daughter and I had gone to CARE’s Halloween party, and I had been thinking about adopting a cat. One night, early in December we made the trek up to the shelter. They only had 2 younger cats avalaible for adoption, but Mo was super friendly and climbed right in my daughter’s lap. She was about 6 months old when we got her. Brave and sassy, she fit right into our family right away. I think that’s why I’m so impressed with Tuxedo cats, they really do seem fearless. I have 4 other cats that are afraid of EVERYTHING  but Mo and Wash just want to know if they can eat it, if it will pet them, or if they can sleep on it. I think they helps draw out my other fearful cats. Here’s some pictures of Mo (click for larger images):

Next Caturday, I’ll introduce you to my special pair, Tyrion and Arya.
