Who's the boss?!?

Maria was trying to read but I decided that her
time was better spent playing with me.

Yes, It's me Twingle! What? You think that just because I'm a cat I can't blog? Well, I'm a cat and I blog, it's one of my many trades.
Maria has been very busy at work and hasn't had a lot of time to update my blog so I decided to help her out, after all it's my blog, and from now on you will be reading from me too.
For my first post I want to remind you all that I'm still looking for my forever home and if you met me at Petco you must remember how much I disliked being in a cage and I REALLY don't wanna have to go back there.
Please spread the word about me and help me find that special human that will be my best friend forever. I'm counting on you all!

If curiosity ever killed a cat, it would kill Twingle.

Not grumpy at all in the morning...

Her new favorite spot...

for when she needs some privacy :-}

and she has an attitude...

This morning when I woke up I saw that Twingle's bedroom door was closed and when I opened  it to see if she was in there, running out of the room, came a VERY upset Twingle meowing like there's no tomorrow. She kept going STRONG and LOUD for a while, at first by our bedroom door and then following me around, walking between my legs, like she was trying to tell me something.
Confused and surprised by her behavior, I decided to wake my husband up to ask what had happened, why he had closed the bedroom door with her in there. Well, he didn't do it on purpose. At some point last night he went into the room  to leave the mail and closed the door behind him when he left, like he used to do every night before it became Twingle's bedroom.
I know it's one of those situations that you had to have been there to find it funny, but trust me, she made me laugh today. I had never seen her like that, so agitated and upset, really distressed that he had had the nerve to do that to her. Let her spend the night locked in the bedroom.
I think her meows were trying to say something like this: "how could he do this to me?!? foolish man!!! how come he didn't see me in there and closed the door?!? how dared him?!?".
It felt like she wanted the world to know what he had done to her just to make sure there would be consequences for his action and it would never happen again.
I asked him to apologize to her and promise her he would never do it again. Later on he went out and bought her a new toy, but said that even so she kind of stayed mad at him the whole day.

A challenge for you

Practicing yoga with Twingle around.
Today was so hot and humid that I decided to skip my yoga class and come straight home after work, thinking that I would be able to practice for at least a little bit on my own.
How naive of me was to think that with "my little shadow" home I would be able to practice yoga??? Very, I have to say.
Twingle just loved my yoga mat and wouldn't get off of it for anything. Not even for some treats and it's needless to say that things didn't go very well when I tried to practice with her around anyway.

Her favorite food

Twingle has finally chosen a favorite wet food. Been trying out different brands and Royal Canin Chunks in Gravy is the winner.

I have no pics of her actually eating her favorite food so here is one of her right after having eaten her favorite food. 

Independent Twingle

Twingle has her own bedroom, the only thing we don't let her do is sleep with us, but I honestly think that she enjoys having her own space to go to when she wants some peace and quiet.
I know I've been emphasizing a lot how much she loves our company and how much she likes to be around us all the time. That's all 100% true. She follows me to whichever room I am and just hang out with me from the time I come home till about 15 minutes before my bedtime (yes, she knows the time I go to bed every night) and that's when she likes to retire to her bedroom and take her place on her couch for the night.
That's been her routine for more than a week now and on the weekends every time she wants to do some serious sleeping she goes to her bedroom and doesn't come out till she's all rested out.
It's just a shame she doesn't like flash photography.

Grooming Time

Twingle let me dry shampoo her yesterday! She really did and it all went a lot better than I thought it would, should have made a video. She smells so good now...

This is how we spend our nights...

She's smart too!

Every night after dinner I have the habit of getting something from our sweets jar to eat  for dessert, usually a chocolate. Ever since Twingle came to stay with us when I get something from the jar for myself I give her some treats too at the same time so we can eat them together. She loves her Temptations treats and I  give her some in the morning and then some more at night.
Now every time I get the sweets jar from over the fridge she'll come running and will stand by the kitchen cabinet where we keep her food and treats until I give her what she wants.
Can you believe that? After being with us for only two weeks?!? My foster girl Twingle is so smart!

Foster Care Favorite!!!

She really is the perfect companion!

Two people home? More hands to pet me with!

I work during the day and my husband at night, because of that we don't get to spend a lot of time together during week. That also means that we don't get to spend a lot of time together with Twingle during the week. She's been doing awesome with me at night and amazing with my husband during the day, but I have to confess I was a bit apprehensive about the fact that the three of us were going to spend a lot time together during the long weekend. I just wasn't sure on how she was going to react. After all she lost her home of eight years because of "problems with a new boyfriend". Well, the three of us had a fantastic time together this past weekend. Twingle loved all the attention. Of course I'm her favorite and of course she likes me the most, but she likes him too, and she really enjoyed having the both of us at the same time home with her.

Almost no need for words today

What else is new? She just can't get enough of my lap now and I can even play with her tail!

A lap cat???

Yes!!! I couldn't believe when she climbed into my lap this afternoon and made herself comfortable there. The sweetest thing ever!!!

What's a good day for Twingle?

One without thunderstorms, that's high on her priority list today, she really doesn't like them. Besides that, a good day for her is when she gets to eat a little;

rest a little;

play a little,

and enjoy the company of good friends.
