Because I'm a Good Mommy!

The other day, I was making some super yummy Chili, but to do so I had to dig out our big crockpot out of the corner cabinet in the kitchen, leaving that cabinet almost empty. The phone rang and the cordless was in the front room, so I ran in to get it, was chatting away on the other side of the kitchen, vaugely aware my kids were playing nicely with all the stuff I had taken out of the cabinet. So I look over and see this.....


I get closer and see this.....

Got them out, then this comes walking out. Ha ha! I'm glad she came out before I put the stuff back in there, because I really didn't know she was in there too!

In other news, we have had my other cat, Xerox, for 6 years now. She was our first 'baby'. We got her about 4 months after we got married. She is a beautiful long haired kitty. BUT with the long hair comes some serious mats. She is also all kinds of crazy. Ha ha! She keeps to herself pretty much, so it's easy to let things go with her a bit. Feed her, clean her litter box, and just not worry about her. But, recently I noticed that she was getting SUPER matted - like really bad. I tried to hold her down and cut them out myself, but I'm no match for a 10 pound pissed off kitty. Soooo I found a groomer that would shave her. View their website here - they are really good!! And reasonably priced!! I didn't think they would have any luck, but they did! And they did a good job!! I think she lost 6 pounds of hair. Here is her before...

And here is her after....

Here is after above her (I'm on the basement stairs). She's my little grey lion. Kris says she looks like a rat.

So, because I'm a good mommy, I lock my kids in cabinets and turn my cats into mini-lions! Ha ha!!
