Cats are like potato chips..you can't have just one

I have 4 cats. Why do I have that many? God only knows but I have asked myself that question many times over the years. For awhile we were down to 3 (God rest your soul Zowie) but for some reason I needed to have more furry things in my life. Or maybe its the ears...I am a cat ear junkie!

But anyways, here they are in all their glory


Just look at them laying there doing NOTHING! All day everyday this is what they do. If you're just going to lay there then at least fold a piece of laundry or clean a toilet or something. I mean good grief already.
Did I tell you the story about this one?


This here is Enya. She is 12 yrs old and Todd calls her my familiar because she follows me around and basically worships the ground I walk on. One day she decided she was going to be sick. She was puking green stuff and being very mean so finally we broke down and took her to the vet. 3 days and $600 later she comes home. To this day we have no idea why she became sick in the first place. GRR!
Oh and what about this ones story?

This guy is Dexter. He is 9 yrs old and is the most affectionate cat you will ever meet. He is also a butt scooter. Yes you heard me right...a butt scooter. No he does not have worms, he as a problem with his anal glands (sorry but its true and I am just keeping it real folks) Finally I had had enough so I took him to the vet. He was a nice vet and did not deserve the treatment he received from our young Dexter. Without going into vivid details...Dexter got angry with where the Doctor had put his finger and got extremely wiggly and angry on the table. And apparently he had a full bladder because next thing we know pee is shooting across the room and hitting the wall about 2 inches from my head. After it hit the wall it spread across the room (and all over the vet) because remember...Dexter is not holding still. (Just picture in your mind a sprinkler.) Well the poor assistant just wasn't strong enough and Dexter eventually was off the table and running all over the office spreading his love as went. Embarrassing? Just a little! But at least the whole thing only cost me $12. I am always on board for a bargain!
Next up...

Meet Diamond. She is also 9 yrs old (Came from the same litter as Dexter..weird I know) Fortunately she hasn't caused us to much grief. Besides being really really fat and screams at you all the time, there is not much to her. Oh wait I take that back! I forgot...she likes to pee in Kylers room if he has any type of clothing on the floor. I can't believe I almost forgot about that!
The newest addition...

This is Lucy and she is just a year old. She hasn't had to much time to get in to much trouble but trust me she has her quirks. Like pooping in my garden and flower beds. And the most exciting thing of all....catching birds to "play with" and when she is done she brings them in the house. Poor little birds don't have a chance.
And finally..

I know what you're thinking, "wait I thought you only had 4" And yes you are right. Over a year ago (before we got Lucy) this guy showed up on our doorstop with really sad eyes and no meat on his bones. I felt sorry for him so I gave him some food. Big mistake because at that moment we acquired a new cat who we named Sterling. We really liked Sterling (the other cats not so much) and figured if we were going to keep him then we should get him shots and fixed. Well after becoming attached to him and spending all that money on him.....he disappeared and was never to be seen again. Damn Cat!
So there you have it! Useless? Yes. More trouble then they are worth? Probably. Why do I keep them around? I don't know...must be the ears. They get me everytime.
