Cat trivia

Did you know that the majority of orange tabby cats are male?  Or that if a cat is more than two colors it's always a female?  And one of the cruelest twists of all, we can't taste sugary sweet things.  Some sort of defective tastebud thing.
But we do have our fabulous whiskers, which help us to determine the distance between us and things like a wall, so we can tell if we'll fit somewhere.  I just don't bother going into small places and that way I'm sure I won't get stuck.  I just lay on my nice heating pad on the bed.

Oops - It's custom dog jewelry, too, and I forgot to post a pic of one of the pendants

Here's a sample of one of the necklaces my mom made.  I'm sure there's some good reason it's not a picture of me.  It's that annoying black kitten again.  I guess she needs a more glamourous pendant for ME.

Custom Kitty Pictures

While I was staring out the window this week, I came up with a great idea for my mom.  She can make tiny little pictures to go in small pendants and attach them to necklaces.  Now she can wear a necklace with a picture of me all of the time!  (I'm sure that mine will be her favorite one.)  Aside from the ones created for her, she can make them for other people who have pets.  The only downside I've noticed so far is that she's so focused that she doesn't always notice that I'm ready for more food.
Aside from that, it's getting cooler and some days it's too chilly or rainy to go outside.  I'm a little bored.  I'm sleeping more and spending more time sitting and staring at my mom.  It's a fun game I play.    I sit on the floor and just stare at her.  It freaks her out.  She asks me what I want over and over, and  eventually she just gives me some kind of food.  
Time for another nap.  Be sure to check our Etsy store 405 creations and our web site (http://www.405creations.com/) next week - we should have some of those cute picture pendants on there by then.  Sweet dreams, everyone!

Labor Day? What is THAT??

I've heard labor is the same thing as work.  I'm a cat, so I don't do that.  My only job is to look pretty so my mom will scratch me, pet me, and feed me. 
I'm getting used to the little black kitten, although I still don't like him.  I've figured out that as long as he's sleeping I don't have to worry about him.  This is great because I feel safe enough to lay on the bed with my mom again.  I missed that.  I like to lay beside her while she watches that box with moving things in it (she calls it "TV").  Lately I've taken to sleeping on her head while she sleeps.  It's nice and warm there.
She hasn't made too many new jewelry pieces lately.  I haven't been in the mood to help her design - I've discovered a new spot to look out the window, so I spend most of my time there.  Since I turned 16 last month, I've been a little sleepier than usual.  I suppose I should take a look at some of her beads and give her some advice, though.  But that sounds like work, and like I said, I don't do that.  She did make this necklace without my help - she said something about "om".  Maybe she just said "um".  Who knows?  Time for a nap.
Ta ta!
