Jelly recently celebrated his 9th birthday.
This past year was full of grand accomplishments. Some of his most notable ones…
He’s been a busy feline.
I had a hard baking act to follow after last year’s Birthday Cake For Cats post. It is actually the #1 [...]
A weird thing about Bay Area apartments is that most of the windows don’t have screens. Our landlord explained that they don’t need insect screens here because there are no bugs to keep out.
When we were staying with my sister in the East Bay, we had to close the windows once it got dark [...]
We’ve been in California for almost a month. I figured now is as good a time as any to share pictures from the move.
Here are some of the last photos taken in our Boston apartment, shot at approximately 3 A.M. the night before we flew out.
Jelly was helpful as ever.
A lot has changed since I last updated the blog. Our zip code, for example, moved approximately 3,300 miles west to the Bay Area!
This has been a long-term goal of ours, and it’s hard to believe we’re finally here! I start work this week with a new company (Justin is working from [...]
There are plenty of nights when Justin stays up much later than me. We call late night shifts in this apartment “defending the Wall.” White walkers have nothing on our ferocious feline. While I sleep in a room with a door that doesn’t close all the way, Justin defends my [...]
I went two whole posts without sharing a picture of my cat.
This is what happens when you bottle things up for too long:
You get a whole post only about cats.
He got a new tag. Well, he got 2 new tags before I found this [...]
Let’s talk birthday cake for cats.
Food is the focal point of all matters for Jelly, just like his momma. I knew nothing would make this birthday boy happier than getting to eat all the human foods he usually steals off our plates.
I googled ‘birthday cake for cats’ and searched [...]
I didn’t have many pets growing up. We never had a dog or a cat, just a handful of caged rodents and birds – animals I usually run away from when I encounter them in nature.
I look a little scared there, right? I am afraid for me, still.
When I finally had [...]
I could try to pin my lack of blog posts lately on shoddy internet service. But, I’d rather blame it on Jelly. If he could eat our wi-fi, he would.
Coming soon on the blog (but don’t hold your breath):
- Matzo Lasagna
- Tuna Birthday Cake for Cats

Oh, bother.
Jelly had (what we think was) a seizure over the weekend.
The episode itself was brief: Jelly stopped in the middle of the floor, meowing loudly, frozen with pain. He slumped down onto the ground, meowing still, for another 30-40 seconds. He was drooling a bit and looked [...]
