Saintly City Cat Show

I'm going to a cat show this weekend with Mom and Grandma, to see all the best that the cat world has to offer. The show is part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival ("The Coolest Celebration on Earth!"). I was looking online to find some info about the show and I came across these pictures, which cannot go without being shared. This is the crowning of the winners of the cat show, done by the Winter Carnival royalty.




I sure am writing about cats a lot lately. :-)

Who knew cats liked bagels?

I was blissfully unaware of this fact until this morning. Apparently the new package of Sarah Lee bagels sitting on the counter was too tempting for Mocha. With what (judging by the shredded plastic) must have been a zeal for bagels unmatched by any human, he tore open the package with his teeth, took out a bagel, and ate part of it while strewing bits of bagel all over the living room. He also gnawed on a second bagel, but left the rest in the package in case someone else wanted the other half.

Jason was the unfortunate soul to discover the mess this morning. Oh, the wonder of cats.

In other news, it was my birthday this weekend!! My wonderful husband planned out the whole day, which included excellent homemade pizza and Pepsi for lunch, and then a surprise trip to the spa for me! I had a full-body massage, seaweed facial, and manicure. SOOOOO nice. My favorite was the facial – having someone else put all kinds of nice-smelling creams, cleansers, etc. on your face, while massaging it, is just GREAT. We snacked on some excellent cheese, and later went to dinner at Figlio in Uptown. It was a very nice birthday. We also had dinner with Mom this weekend, and got to relax/catch up on sleep, AND got four loads of laundry done! Can’t beat that!
