Why Having Two Cats is a REALLY Good Idea

10. I'd probably be spoiled with 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night.
9. It might be lonely to go to the bathroom without at least one cat.
8. How else would I be known as God of the Doors?
7. Because finding a mouse that somebody lost interest in as it scurries out of the laundry room is REALLY invigorating.
6. If all your furniture is covered in cat hair, you have an instant decor scheme.
5. Otherwise, a house without children would be too calm & quiet.
4. I wouldn't realize how positively frightening the lawn mower, vacuum, garbage trucks, and my husband actually are.
3. I might not realize how many of my possessions are simply toys in disguise.
2. I would not know the difference between mice and voles.


1. Nothing says Love like a dead mouse in the bed.

My cat discovered that the humans don't appreciate him jumping in through the bedroom window and commencing de-feathering a still live bird underneath the bed.

We only have one, we think two would be too much work!

Came over from MS3 to visit...
Oh HOW funny! I agree but one cat does enough for me! The only difference is he's AFRAID of mice!

I am visiting from MS3...your blog is hysterical. I can relate to all of your antecdotes. Are you sure we are not twins separated at birth?

I have 5 cats, yes, we are talking crazy cat lady here, and it actually works out well. Any time one has the midnight gallops there is another to join the fun so they don't need me. When one is finished with a mouse, dead or alive, another one steps up to the plate as it were.
As Hemmingway said, "one cat just leads to another."

Hilarious!!! Our scrawny 7 lb cat is the instigator of all evil. She picks at the side of the bed every morning between 2:30 and 3:30 until she wakes up the dog who jumps on me to 'protect me' from the little monster. Needles to say I'm a very early riser. Then she chews my toes while I go to the bathroom and demands/cries/yowls until I put HOT water in her water bowl. (Beer showers DO work - The clean themselves and nap!)
