You may not think you know me, but you do. I deliver your groceries.

I have a full-time job, but I need the extra money, so when I deliver to you on a weekday evening it’s after having put in a full day’s work elsewhere. If I’m delivering to you on a weekend, it means I’m probably working from 7:30 am until 7:30 pm, depending on the orders I’m able to take. This is gig work, so any order I…

I live in Alabama. This state votes Republican just because… well, just because. Lots of people carry guns on them. Not sure why. I’ve never found myself in a situation where I felt I needed one. Lots of people here love them some Jesus. This weekend a Trump 2020 bus was parked in a lot just off the main drag selling pro-Trump gear to the faithful.

Typical Alabamians fit one or more of these…

Soliciting Advice for My Cats’ Problematic Behavior

Yeah, I know it’s been 4 months. Time flies, doesn’t it? Hope you are doing well and surviving either winter or summer (depending on where you live).

Things here are… well, different. Not bad, necessarily, but not great either.

Yella Fella

But this blog post isn’t to play catch-up. I need your help. You see, I have cat issues.

Graybie is a bully and he’s been bullying Little Girl. She had been on…

KNN Reports…

With all the news that I feel like printing, I’m Yella Fella for the Kitty News Network.

Jen took this photo this morning and noticed some redness around my left eye. A cursory check revealed a knot forming on my eyelid. It appears to be on the outside of the eyelid, but she is concerned all the same. She will be calling the vet Monday to schedule an appointment for me.

Jen went to the farmers…

Jen Bought a New Toy!

Jen did something she’s never done before: she pre-ordered the latest iPhone. It came in the mail yesterday and she has been getting used to it.

A Fine and Mellow Yella Fella

She’s not so sure she likes the facial recognition. But she LOVES the camera! Think you will too after you see these photos.

Little Girl

No, this is not an advertisement for Apple. But it is an advertisement for therapy,…

Sorry to Leave you Hanging…

Yella’s surgery was a rousing success!

He had to wear a cone for several days and Jen put ointment in his eyes for a couple weeks, but look at him now!

The biopsy results confirmed granulominous conjunctivitis.  Yella’s going to remain on lysine forever I guess, so help prevent another flare-up, because this could happen to him again.

We are all so happy for Yella, but no one is more happy…

Not-so-good News at the Vet Today

Hi everybody!

We went back to the veterinary ophthalmologist today and the news wasn’t what I wanted to hear.

She told me and Jen that my eyes aren’t getting any better with medication and she doesn’t want to up the steroid dosage because it could impact my liver, kidneys, and cause diabetes. Surgery is the next step. Jen scheduled it for next Tuesday.

The good news is the vet said it shouldn’t…

Hello! Yella Fella here.

After breakfast, I went back to bed!

Yesterday I went back to see that eye vet doctor. She said my eyes weren’t getting any better and she prescribed steroid tablets. I have to go back again next week.

I don’t like this vet doctor. She looks at my eyes with a funny contraption on her head, and this time she even weighed me! I hadta wiggle and squirm to let her know I was…

For Your Viewing Pleasure…

Here they are, ladies and gentlemen!

Extra! Extra! Read All About It!

Hissy Fit Jones here with all the household gossip I felt like sharing.

Yella’s eyes continue to get better. The knots on his eyelids are slowly shrinking. Unfortunately, the steroid medicine drops Jen puts in his eyes stimulates his already insatiable appetite. He’s resorted to gulping down his food and then jumping on the counter trying to steal a bite or two of mine and Graybie’s food before…

Sharing a Taste of our Home Town

Hi everybody! Graybie Baby here to share with you something that’s really cool!

You know you love the Alabama Shakes, right? Well, lead singer Brittany Howard has a new solo project with a great new song called, “Stay High.” The best part? Her team recorded an accompanying music video right here where we live!  Terry Crews stars, along with our home town.

We thought we’d share the video with you…

Yella’s Follow-Up

So we went back to the vet ophthalmologist yesterday for a two-week check-up.

Yella this past weekend

Yella still has the lumps on his eyelids, but much of the inflammation has receded and he acts like his eyes don’t bother him as much.  We’re to continue the drops for another three weeks and return for another follow-up appointment.

The visit took longer than expected, and so Yella had to go to…

Can you believe it? Yesterday was our 8 year blogaversary!

Hissy Fit Jones

Jen says she hasn’t stuck with anything that long (besides us, of course)

Graybie Baby

That’s longer than we’ve lived in one place.

Yella Fella, whose eyes aren’t improving as well as I’d hoped. Maybe it’s just going to take awhile.

Longer than Jen has stayed in one job (7 years was her record).

  Little Girl

We like…

We have news!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Wednesday Yella went to see an ophthalmologist!  She wasn’t the nicest person in the world, but if she fixes Yella’s eyes, Jen says she don’t care!

The ophthalmologist looked close at Yella’s eyes and did a few tests, then prescribed some eye drops that Jen had to pick up at the pharmacy.  She has to put them in Yella’s eyes 4 times a day!  He’s not…

Hello!  Did you miss us? We sure missed you!

This is the busy season for Jen at work.  Her REAL job has her going lots of places, and then her EXTRA job has her also going lots of places! That means she’s not home to give us loves and treats.  So what’s a cat to do?

Well, take what’s coming to him, of course!

Little Girl is doing better.  She still hisses at us, but at least she doesn’t poop…

It’s the Weekend! Yay!

Oh my, it has been a rough week! Here’s hoping for a quiet and peaceful weekend.

Graybie is doing his part by lying on the table in front of Jen and purring as she types for me.

Today Jen is cleaning our apartment and standing by for grocery deliveries. We’re helping by napping.

Jen is on yet another tear about cat litter. She sweeps it up downstairs 2-3 times a day, and she has to vacuum…

MEOW! Hissy Fit Jones here. We’re enjoying a long holiday weekend. Let me tell you all about it.

  Monday is Memorial Day in the United States. It’s a day set aside to honor the men and women who died defending this country.

Here in the South, this weekend we have Decoration Day, an annual informal event where folks go and clean up the cemeteries where their family members are buried. Back in…
