Watching the Tube

Pierre: Do you know a human who is sad because the football season is over? There are a lot of them out there. I understand, because as a mancat, I would be sad if my favorite programs were off the air, too.

If one of your humans is having this problem, you can encourage him to feel better by watching TV with you! Settle into your favorite TV viewing spot. Every man and mancat has one.Usually it’s the spot that your rear end has made nice and soft by sitting there many times. If it’s a little chilly in your house, pull up a soft, warm blanket to help keep your fur warm.

Then turn on your favorite program. Your human will feel better almost immediately. You can tell he feels better when he starts laughing while watching you watching the television.

It’s still getting dark early here in the winter, so it’s a great time to catch up on all of your favorite programs.

Or if your human isn’t feeling like watching TV, you can ask to have the TV tuned to your favorite channel. There’s no need why you should not enjoy, even if they have human things to do.

Do you have some programs to catch up on with (or without) your human this weekend?

Persistence Pays

Ashton: You may have kept Newton away from the treats, little toy, but you can’t keep me out.

Ashton: Newton pushed you around with his paws, but I think the secret is to push you with my nose. Besides, you smell sooooo tasty….

Pierre: What’s all the noise in there?

Ashton: I finally figured out how to get the treats out of the dispensing ball.

Pierre: But you’re on a diet. Treats aren’t on your Cat Watchers plan!

Ashton: I don’t want to hear any more about diets and Cat Watchers! These treats are mine!

The Treat Dispenser that Wouldn’t

Pierre: Oh, that smells good!

Newton: Don’t worry, I’ve got this. Those treats will be out of there in no time.

Pierre: Go! Go! Go! I don’t see any treats falling out yet.

Newton: Give me a minute here. It’s going to happen: treats everywhere.

Ashton: Did someone say treats everywhere?

Pierre: Newt is going to get the treats out of the dispensing ball for us. He’s being a little slow about it, though.

Newton: I don’t see YOU being a lot of help. Why don’t you go watch a bird or something? I’ll tell you when it’s ready.

Ashton: You can’t fool me. I’m keeping my eye on you and those treats. I can smell them all the way over here.

Newton: You’re supposed to be on a diet, remember? I’m pretty sure that Cat Watchers says you can’t eat treats between meals.

Pierre: Did you get a treat out? Are you eating without sharing? Newton!

Ashton: I’m watching. He’s just faking it.

Pierre: Faking treats?

Newton: It’s so embarrassing to not be able to get any treats out of there. Something must be wrong with this toy. One of you can try it.

It’s true! We finally found a treat dispensing toy Newton couldn’t immediately conquer. He actually gave up without getting any treats out of it, much to Ashton and Pierre’s frustration, since Newton is the designated dispenser operator. We have shown photos in the past of how he has gone as far as breaking open treat dispensing toys to get at their contents, so the humans are pretty excited about this find, even if the cats would like something with easier treat access.

Scheduling Notes

Newton: Uh-oh. There’s a problem with this new Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule for our blog.

Ashton: What are you interrupting my nap for now?

Newton: Come look at this, Ash. What will to happen to Topical Thursdays?

Ashton: Oh, I see. Well, they just have to go a different day. Like Mondays.

Newton: They can’t be that day. I am going to have Macho Mancat Mondays, no girlcats allowed! And all that talk about medical things is not macho at all.

Ashton: I’m putting my paw down on that one. We are NOT having Macho Mancat Mondays, with or without girlcats allowed. You and Pierre aren’t taking over. Besides, neither of you is very macho.

Our schedule is changing a little, but don’t worry, we aren’t going anywhere. We’ll be publishing our topical posts about cat health and rescue on Mondays now instead of Thursdays. We will also be here on Wednesdays and Fridays with more of our adventures. We have lots to share with you, so stay tuned!
