My Coco-cat decided to sit in my lap yesterday and express ownership of me as the cat-wife, since the hooooman-wife was away. She was _very_ smug about it. [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/uF7cqk7.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/uF7cqk7) ---

> [@Dr.Strangelove](#): > > bought non-toxic lipstick and applied it to each of their cat’s anuses. This reminds me of a time when I applied some oil to one of my cats who needed some help getting his ass clean. His eyes flew open and he let out a holler like we’d never heard before. Clearly, he was telling us, “No means no!” ---

> [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > She was very _gorgeous_ about it. And righteously smug, given how beautiful and poised she is. I think she _heard_ you. She’s been all cuddly this morning, which is difficult, because I’m trying to get the house cleaned up before I drive to Denver and pick up our houseguests for a long weekend of lite-vacation, overeating, over-drinking, and over-spoiling cats. ---

Glad to hear she liked it. Work overtime on that vacation lite, willja, especially the cat-spoiling aspect. And then come back here to tell us all about it, with pictures of course. ---

So, I was attempting to spoil the cats (there is a brand new cat toy in the house which is a winner so far) but there is a new distraction!

Is that a catio that the squirrels are on the outside of? ---

Yes. Our house had an outside deck that we added additional upright supports to and converted into a catio. 🙂 ---

5 years ago yesterday, we picked up Luna and life was never the same. Inna and I wanted to treat her to a spa day, but Luna decided she didn’t like the hair dryer, so all she got was her birthday bandana.

I was asked to make sure to add plenty of photos from the lite-vacation, last night, Coco was being spoiled, with a lovely warm nest made for her on the couch: [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/OhJlLC4.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/OhJlLC4) Then Kai crowded her space: [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/07nQcpl.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/07nQcpl) Leaving her sad: [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/hhB8vvB.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/hhB8vvB) And Kai looking like a brat: [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/95k8aOS.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/95k8aOS) ---

Coco and Kai are both sure beautiful! Nothing like gorgeous cats draped around the furniture to make a place feel like home. 🙂 * * * Good news is rare these days, so I wanted to pass along this update on Valerie the Dachshund. Put a lot of dust in the room at my house, I can tell you.

That’s stupendous news! Yay, Valerie! That part about the “click, click, click” of memories really got to me. Oh, and never underestimate the toughness of a dachshund. 🐶 🌭 ---

Which will never happen, because I keep such close tabs on the little jerk. But agreed, they are much tougher than they look! ---

I’m also glad to see the news. I always despair at how my cats would do in any of the worst-case-scenarios that prowl the mind in the dark of the night, and it’s encouraging to know how tough even the most house-bound pet can be even if we don’t expect it! ---
