Biffy is quite sure it is time for pets – now! “Quit pointing that box at me and rub my ears!”
I said now!

The guardian of Mommy’s chair
This is Mommy’s new armchair. Sometimes Mommy is unable to sit in it. She might have to go out the big door in the front the cats are not allowed to use, or go into the small room where she closes the door to keep the kitties out. When she isn’t in her chair, Neighbor Kitty takes care of it for her – keeping it warm and making sure that Cliffy doesn’t get it all dirty and gross. Because he’s dirty and gross.
Cliffy in training
Clifford G. imagines that he is a great hunter. He’s only caught lizards so far, unlike She Who Must Not Be Named, who hunts (and eats) gophers, rats, mice and even a couple of bunnies in the back yard. But he knows he can be an even greater hunter, and so he must train himself in these ancient feline arts. Cliffy says not to be fooled by how cute he looks in training – he is only honing his warrior ethos!
Ooooh – a box!
Each week, the cat food delivery company drops off a box full of yummy goodies on the front porch. Sometimes Mommy is so busy putting away the goodies in the pantry that she can’t put the box in recycling right away. But Biff is happy when she is slow to recycle, because he has his own method of recycling wonderful, wonderful boxes.
The most horrible time of the year
Biff doesn’t even want to talk about it.
Too darn hot!
Even though Neighbor and Clifford G. do not usually tolerate each other in the same room, the heat wave has made finding a cool spot very important. Today all three cats are hiding in the sun room by Mommy’s new home office: Clifford under Mommy’s new desk, Biff on his new bed by her shelves, and Neighbor on the couch. It’s too hot to fight!
King of the (blanket) mountain
Cliff imagines himself a great mountaineer. Or maybe he’s dreaming of the Princess and the Pea. Probably, though, he just found this pile of blankets irresistibly comfy. Daddy made a mental note that this blanket needs to be taken outside and shaken out very good before it can be used again – kitties shed a lot in the summer.
Night Vision?
Clifford likes to spend time with the youngest human in the family he adopted. And she can only fall asleep if there is a movie on her tablet. One night, after she fell asleep, Cliff wanted to see what it is that has her so engrossed she doesn’t even pay attention to a wonderful cat sitting next to her! He was very disappointed that it was just flashing colors that don’t even smell. Surely a wonderful cat like him is more interesting than those colors!
Biff, defender of books
Biff loves the upstairs bay window. Lately, he he has been perching on a storage bin of books his owners don’t quite have room for in their new book shelves – but also can’t bear to get rid of. Biff is keeping these books safe while he watches for Mr. Angry Kitty Street Cat.
Cliffy’s giant water bowl
Sissy thought this utility tub was to harden the new concrete birdbath she is making for the back yard. Clifford is pretty sure this is just a water bowl that never runs out. Neighbor Kitty can’t wait for the birdbath to be done so she can get more back yard snacks.
