Don’t yell at me for being a good mother.

Victor just yelled at me for sleeping on the floor in the sunbeam with Ferris Mewler in the middle of the day because “Don’t you have a job?” or something crazy like that, and I explained that it’s important to share your son’s interests so that they don’t start doing drugs or vaping, and then Victor was like, “…He’s a cat” and I was like, “He’s a cat with beautifully healthy lungs and a strong relationship with his mother” and then Victor walked away shaking his head as I whispered to Ferris, “But seriously, you have to lay off the vaping.”

  1. Good parenting is more than avoiding the negative. It’s time to start thinking about colleges. You should look at a few online catalogs. Perhaps Catholic University? But, to get in there, he would have to learn his catechism.

  2. You’re a really good mom. Ferris needed some bonding time and you were there for him. How could Victor not see that. Soooo sad

  3. My goodness, Victor? Come on. Everyone who has read CAT OWNERSHIP 101 knows that if you do not spend time teaching your cat about drugs, someone else will…

  4. You are younger than I am (everybody is) and I don’t know about cat years, but – cushions, please cushions – The floor isn’t good for either of you – and its clear that this cat needs a nice brocade and tassels – lots of tassels.

  5. Victor obviously doesn’t understand how vindictive cats can be. They carry grudges forever. These precious times you spend with your furry son will go a long way toward preventing a blood bath in the future. Mark my words. Victor will thank you one day.

  6. One of the great joys in life is sleeping on the floor in a sunbeam! Cats know this, proper cat owners do too.
    Victor should try it, it might lower his blood pressure.

  7. This is exactly why in our house we have a rule that “I have a cat” is a valid universally accepted reason and/or excuse for pretty much everything. “Shouldn’t you be at work?” “I have a cat!” “Aw, yeah. Ok. Cool.” 😊

  8. So happy to know I’m not the only one who randomly sleeps on the floor in sunbeams with my cat!

  9. My dog and I used to soak the heat in front of our patio door. Then we upgraded windows and doors. Electric bill was much better, but we miss “sunbathing” on cold winter days.

  10. Reading this from the floor next to my cat, Mabel, who also is enjoying a sunbeam, you’re doing a great job and don’t let Victor tell you differently!

  11. I’m with Janice. That floor looks hard. Victor should have offered to get you both an air mattress or something. Job schmob. Babies are only babies for a time. You gotta grab every opportunity you can!

  12. i have been lured into laying in the sunbeam with my dogs many times. they make it look so enticing, and then you discover it is quite nice, and maybe a nap is in order.

  13. Perhaps Ferris is in his feline formative year and, therefore, snuggly sunbathing is crucial in shaping his cat-titude 😆! I’m so sorry… I had to.

    I used to lay on the floor with my Maltese puppy, my sweet baby bear Angel. Our game was she would stand over me, bark, and lick my face so hard that it would tickle and I would laugh to the point of crying-so, yeah, we had tickle fights I suppose! 😊

    After I wrote this I double checked the date today and just now realized that today is the anniversary of Angel’s passing.

    I don’t believe in coincidences. Thank you for reminding me of those sweet memories with my precious pup! Hugs!

  14. Doesn’t Victor know that low vitamin D contributes to depression? How do you get vitamin D? From sunbeams!

  15. I regularly lay on the floor in a sunbeam with my cat son. My husband often finds me there, laughs and then kicks me lightly.

    Is this not the normal thing to do when you have a cat?

  16. Slept on the bathroom floor with our cat Mazie Moo Moo Allie Rowe the second last Tuesday night while I went through the bowel surgery preparation. Between every poop she slept beside me on that bathroom floor. Amen to the kitty

  17. Every time I think I couldn’t possibly love you more, you put out something like this! Also, now that I finally got to see Victor from that last interview, I love him more too!

  18. It could be worse, Ferris sneak out and join the cast of Rocky Horror. Then he would be there singing “Science Fiction, Double Feature” in cat.
    (yeah I might be in the local production here……)

  19. Honestly! It’s like Victor doesn’t even care about his son’s lungs or anything!

    He’ll be jealous once Ferris’s next Vet visit comes back with the comment “Great job, Mom! Lungs look fantastic!”

  20. Ah ptewie,

    Have enough of them and inevitably one will end up on the street corner hawking catnip to Toulouse.

    (No Idea if this image works, but in case it doesn’t, just close your eyes and imagine way too many cute, adorable foster kittens hanging out with their supercatly patient mom)

    Just in case that link isn’t, here’s this =@V@= (Whoa!? So doesn’t look like a cat. I’m not sure why I bother keeping it here, apart from the sheer whateverness of it. It was so much better in the website I spent way too long looking over. Maybe this one is better (^._.^)).

  21. You should remind Victor that someday our children will be deciding whether to take care of us or put us in nursing homes, and choosing which nursing homes if the latter. Never too soon to start kissing up.

  26. Why does Ferris’s head loo superimposed on a very large body? Is it the angle or is he a unique breed?? 😉

  27. I’d start checking around for his stash, vaping is a gateway drug …maybe some Molly hidden behind the litterbox, coke in the cupboard….try places he tries to pretend hold no interest to him at all!

    Trust me or it’s a lifetime of Church basements and bad coffee for Ferris.

  28. Doesn’t the ability to sleep on the floor in a sunbeam PROVE you are part feline, and that as part-cat- regular sunbeam naps are therefore essential to your health?

  31. Those cats and their vaping. Next thing you know they’ll start skateboarding at late hours, or loitering like hooligans at the Blockbuster. 🙂

  32. All the comments claiming that if you click their link you can earn money from online activity? All posted by cats whose moms didn’t nap with them in sunbeams.

  33. OMG… I just finish one of your books. Immediately after I finish the book, I search for the Blog. I’m totally subscribing and going back to read your books in other. Reading books out of order just happens in my life. Look forward reading the blog post and your books. Have fun w/ your fur child 🙂

  34. Ummm, doesn’t Victor realize that fur baby snuggles and sunshine are both HUGE stress relievers & Dopamine boosters?!? It’s like he doesn’t even love you! Tell him to do better!
