Minkey’s Gone to Heaven

Minkeyservant — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 01:53:39 +0000

It’s taken me a long time to write this. Minkey died at age 17 on September 21st, 2012. I was unavoidably away from home at the time. My little chocolate Siameasle had cancer, and I decided not to have him euthanized because he was still very happy and cuddly and talkative. I was living with […]

In Cat Years, That’s…

Minkeyservant — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 23:04:39 +0000

Thanks to those who wrote, wondering where we were. No, in spite of Minkey passing his fifteenth birthday (which is really old in Siamese years – about 77, according to this chart) we’re both still alive and kicking. 2010 was a year of relentless loss after loss, both big and small: From the old TV […]

Meezer World Domination

Minkey — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:12:04 +0000

So Tolkien called me “the Fauna of Mordor”, did he? Well, there are more of us Siameasles than he knew, I’ve just discovered (by prowling the Twitosphere). Except they call themselves “meezers“… for some strange reason… For example, take Cocomeezer… another cat who tweets, and knows how to keep their Minkeyservant busy. The Cat Post […]

J. R. R. Tolkien on Siamese Cat Behavior

Minkeyservant — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 19:46:47 +0000

The last thing I ever expected to be talking about on Valentine’s Day was J. R. R. Tolkien, famous author of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. However, two odd coincidences made up my mind… First, I found this old photo of Minkey trying to sneak into my suitcase as I packed essentials (a warm […]

Cat Blog Customization

Minkey — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 07:18:41 +0000

Today, I decided to make the text in this blog BIGGER. Really, I am surprised Minkeyservant didn’t think of it before, considering what terrible eyesight human beans have! (They can’t even see in the dark!) *Pook!* *CLICK!* Done. Well, that was a lot of work, so I am going back to toast my back end […]

Merry Christmas 2009

Minkey — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 21:30:30 +0000

Woke up from my winter nap because it’s Rustly Paper day. Yes, once a year, there are lots of things wrapped in rustly paper, with killable dangly bits attached. And a mysterious, wonderful SMELL that has nothing to do with roasted birdies, sent by Auntie Sandi, who only visits Minkeyservant to see ME. (Auntie Sandi […]

Real Live Talking Cat Breaks 14 Year Silence!

Minkey — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:01:57 +0000

Alright. So I do know how to speak Human, take a photo of myself with the camera – and type with my pointy little clawzles! All those hours on Minkeyservant’s shoulder while she worked… and she thought I was just being affectionate – MIAO-WAHAHAHAHA! This “work” she always has to do at the computer has […]

Owner Gives Cat H1N1

Minkeyservant — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:03:42 +0000

I know I’ve been AWOL lately – but I’m not the owner who gave her cat H1N1. I’m afraid it’s not a joke: I read a bulletin that has just come out on the AMVA (American Veterinary Medical Association’s) website. Apparently an elderly cat (13) came down with respiratory symptoms after his human family members […]

Cat Communication Habits You Shouldn’t Emulate

Minkeyservant — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 22:43:19 +0000

Sometimes we develop cat communication habits we aren’t even aware of. Take me, for example… I’m a copywriter who ghostwrites web and advertising copy. I work at home… and Minkey is my only companion during long hours at “work”. This morning, while planning an article, I decided to use my computer’s speech recognition capabilities to […]

Cat Horoscope To Blame?

Minkeyservant — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 17:59:00 +0000

The trials of Minkey’s sudden New Age mellowness… This morning, I awoke to the melodious sound of violent bazooka-barfing, right beside my bed. It’s my own fault, really. I wasn’t able to get Minkey’s special Royal Canin Siamese food so I made do with another expensive premium product. I blearily got up, cleaned it up, […]
