We have been taking care of a very cute cat while our oldest son and his new wife are in Spain this year. Jelly has become a member of the family. We had dogs when I was young and lots of cats that stayed in the barn (I lived on a dairy farm). I always thought we'd have a pet while our children were young. However, we were living overseas for eight years and this made it too difficult to keep a pet with the quarantine rules and travels between countries.
Jelly has been the subject of close to half of the photos I take on my iPhone these days. She is always doing something amusing and it has been great to have a little companion in the house.
I hope you are having a nice weekend. We'll have another busy day at the conference and I am sure I'll have lots of stories to tell when I get home. Sunday will be a full day of travel - it isn't convenient to fly between Boston and Nashville and I have a longish layover in New York.

Have a wonderful time at your conference. Are there lots of cute shoes running around. I bet you are a lot more comfortable than the "cutsies".

Oh boy I REALLY need that book. Max has enough hair around the house that I could weave a big rug. LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. Thanks for sharing.
What a hoot! Every time I clean out the lint screen on the dryer I wonder if there is possibly a market for laundered cat hair. I should have known!

I have a Terrier that sheds worse than any cat. I really could use that book! Love it. :)
ReplyDeleteThere use to be a woman at one of the zoos in Chicago (I can't remember now if it was Brookfield Zoo or Lincoln Park, but I think it was Brookfield, anyway) she use to spin dog hair into yarn. I have always thought that was weird, though with a Norwegian Elkhound I have plenty of hair to spare, LOL ;- ) Hope you are having a fun and safe trip, Diane.

ReplyDeletecan you share any crafts that can be made with cat hair? I have 2
I visited an artsy craftsy place once and there was a woman there weaving on a fairly large loom. She said she used cat hair, dog hair, llama hair,rabbit hair, anything she had on their farm place. Interesting but odd :)
ReplyDeleteJelly is a sweetheart! At times I've been known as "the crazy cat lady," but crafting with their hair is a little too much for even me! lol. Our little fur babies are wonderful companions.

I had to laugh at the book. I have 3 indoor cats so cat hair is what I clean up daily but they are my babies. Hope you learn lots at your confernce. Too bad this was my weekend to work. I would have been interested in this conference. I am slowly learning my way around the computer and need all the help I can get. I only live about 2 hours from Nashville.
ReplyDeleteoh boy..really??? I thought you were trying to get rid of it....LOL
ReplyDeletehow you holding up with all the "cute shoes"
Yes, it is weirder than sheep hair. Why? Er...hey, look over there! [runs away]
ReplyDeleteWow, who could have tought of crafting with cat hair! I am glad you share this with us, Jelly is too cute, I am a cat person myself, but have not have a furry friend for over 13 yrs, my hubby is kind of allergic to them :(, but I sure enjoy looking at pics that remind me of my beloved "creamy shadow" my first pet a beautiful siamese cat when I was 12yo, my uncle had rescued her from a shelter and we cat sitted for him a wknd and that was enough to make me begged my mother will let us keep her... I wish I had pictures of her she was so spoiled it was cute, if it makes any sense :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
