The jemjabella household is a bit of a zoo, covering several different species: from pedigree cats to exotic spiders. While a hundred (exaggeration) pets might not be everyone's idea of fun, and there's no shortage of cleaning duties to be had, there's always something furry looking for a cuddle and a fuss.

Just a quick entry to let y’all know I’ve added a few pictures of the cats to my flickr :)

Furry Friday: Catching Rays

Mimi mentioned on last week’s Furry Friday post that Hex doesn’t get enough posts, and focus seems to be on Fudge. This isn’t intentional, I do not have a favourite cat. There are two problems, however, with posting new Hex material… firstly, he refuses to let me take his photograph properly, which means 90% of… read full entry »

Just because I like cats does not automatically mean I like everything to do with cats. However, the book was great, and… read full entry »

Furry Friday: Buckets

Hex and Fudge have multiple nicknames. Hex is also known as “Noodles” (Hexy Noodles) and Fudge as “Buckets” (Fudgey Buckets). The later, mostly to do with the fact that Fudge’s stomach is like a bucket… a bottomless pit. Case in point: Karl and I had just finished our evening meal, when Fudgey appears… Nom nom… read full entry »

Furry Friday: Piggy Expedition

The new flat has a kitchen with a door, which means we can shut it off from the cats and let the piggies get some exercise. So far, they’re absolutely loving it: In other furry news, we’ve finally started the cats on the litter kwitter again. What with one thing and another (waiting for the… read full entry »

Apologies for the quality, these are taken in shit light (again): And if you like Furry Fridays, you may be interested in my next project.

Furry Friday: Big Soppy Fudge

Fudge is having a bit of a ‘soft’ day. He spent a large part of today rubbing himself up against me, the floor, the door and the walls. I pointed at him earlier today, and he came over and stood up to my finger, ‘grabbed’ it with his front paws and rubbed himself against it…. read full entry »

Cats Have Terrible Timing

Why is it that cats have such terrible — or perfect, depending on how you look at it — timing when it comes to litter tray business? For instance: It doesn’t matter how many times a cat has already been to the tray that day, the moment it is cleaned and stocked with fresh litter,… read full entry »

Furry Friday: O Hai

Ginger pig wants to know what’s going on… “What you doin’?” (Note: tutorialtastic is still down because of a site5 cock-up. I hope to have it back up ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience.)
