Winter with Atticus

We are a desert family. The warmer the better. When the weather gets cold, we get grumpy.

With the holidays just around the corner things have been busy. Yesterday I realized just how difficult having Atticus can be. Our number one problem is his non stop counter climbing, food scavenger*ing, knock down drag out I gotta have what you're eating attitude. I tried the squirt bottle full of water, in fact you can see it in the background of these pictures, but being a cat that must be bathed weekly, this doesn't faze him. So we have learned to pick our battles. Sometimes it just isn't important if he is up there.

Like last Saturday night, the house was cold, but he had no problem finding a warm spot.



A nice hot box of pizza.


Now, don't get me wrong. I do not always allow this. In fact he was sanctioned off in a bedroom while I sanitized the counter tops and prepared my favorite spinach dip for a party we will be attending.

I may be tolerant, but I'm not gross, and I would never serve cataminated (made that word up) food.
