The Power of Mint

HELLOs. MintIceCream here(MIC for short) tis a world about me, and the crazy antics of my 5 cats that just love to drive me nuts.

Age-20
Job-substitute teacher
Gender-female
i recently graduated from college with a BS degree in education, certified for art (I'm an art teacher). i currently sub teach while i shop for a job in my content area.

Mindy-my cat, she's a white cat with tabby splotches all over. She's 15 years old, nonsocial, phychotic, and crazy. But i love her all the same.

Texa-my dad's cat primarily, he has a tuxedo style coat. black with a white strip down his belly, on his paws, and the lower half of his face. he's also a manx(no tail) and very talkative. a gentle giant, very lovable, although he doesn't really like me to well. he's 11 years old. (he's also kind of a cranky old @$$)

Bogart-mom's cat. and mine sometimes. the very fat one of our family. he's 7 year old. a brown tabby who loves to raise chaos. he loves to terrorize the adults, and chew on everything. he's also a big pig and will eat anything. even though he's my mom's cat, he loves everyone. he's quite the ladies man. he prefers the company of women over men.

Sammie-Ryan's cat. 7 year old. he is all gray, with thick soft fur. the sweetest cat in the whole world. he isn't all that smart though, and kinda slow. definatley not our brightest bulb, but we love him all the same. he will do anything for a tidbit of human food, so i have managed to teach him a few tricks. his favorite food is gold fish. we try to tell him it's not a real fish, but he doesn't believe us.

Augustus (GUS for short)- everyone's cat. the newest addition to our family, we rescued him from a cousin who should be banned from owning animals. he was 5 weeks old when we got him, so tiny. he's now 3 years old. he is a miniture norwegian forrest cat. all black, orange eyes, and EXTREMLY fluffy. he is the baby of the family, and res1sident ninja/trouble-maker. he is also quite dog like. he will sit and shake paws for a treat, likes to play fetch, loves meeting new people, and go for walks on a leash and harness.

anyways, have fun, and enjoy the power of the minty-ness.

Herculies

Texa is feeling much better. today, mom said that when she came home, was playing like a kitten, and even wrestled with Bogart. he let me give him a kiss, too, when i got home. Mindy decided to get all territorial and bitchy earlier. we have a window by our from door, and she likes to sit there, and be our watchdog. Texa has recently decided he likes it too. and being the nonsocial psycho Mindy is, decided that, no, he cannot have her window.

i finally edited my english essay. now i just have to give a better ending. and i statred sorting through my notes for my art essay. we had to choose a modern artist to write about, and i chose jacksn pollock. did you know he was an alchoholic, and one day he was driving, drunk, with his mistress and hes mistrisses friend, crashed, killed the friend and himself, but the mistress survived. but the wife loved that one.

Hercules was on after school today. i watched most of it, but then decided to come down here while my brother isn't down here. my laptop is next to the big comp(my dad's decision, not mine) and i dislike being down here with him, he tries to watch what i do, and read my essays. grrr.

FUNNY QUOTE: Last night, i dreamt i ate a 10 pound marshmallow. And when i woke up, the pillow was gone.
-i forgot who from

Pills and Kibbles

about two months back, Texa dissapered from our fenced in back yard. we searched everywhere for him, but couldn't find him. then my mom rented a live trap. first we caught simba, a neighbors cat, a possom, whic i named peter, another neighbors cat, then peter the possom again. on the very last day, we caught Texa. but the vet said he had parasites. so now we have to give all three cats pills(antibiotics) because hey all share a litterbox. normally, i squish Mindy's pill in a soft treat, and she stupidly eats the treat not relizing what i've done to it. but not today. she ate the treat and spat out the pill. so i had to hold her down while mom shoved it down her throat.

i played the kibble game with Bogart.he squishes the kibble inbetween his paw pads, icks it up, and attempts to eat it. sadly he ended up dropping 9 out of 10.

after school today, i was supposed to go to work. i bag groceries at the commisary(military grocery store), but i didn't feel like it. so i'm home now, and should probably be doing my college english essay. and my art essay too. maybe later.

Kibble Hunt

today mom played the kibble game with Bogart. You take a piece of ordinary hard food from the food bowl, and roll it across the floor. bogart loves this game. he likes to stalk and hunt his food. the two adults just sat there and watched him looking at him like he was a complete idiot. if it was treats being tossed, the would understand, but kibbles. those are just boring everyday food.

i had a dentist appointment this morning, so i got to miss p.e. and most of algebra 3. in culinary i made sugarcookie dough with kate(we're going to bake it tommorrow) and in art i printed out some notes for the modern artist report due next tuesday. i have to go to my college class tonight. english comp 1. we had to write a 4 page rough draft about a significant event in our lives. i managed 3 and 1/4 pages. close enough.

x-mas tree

we set up our x-mas tree this morning. but we're not quite sure how long it'll last. this is our two boys first time seeing a big x-mas tree. we have baby Bogart, and this is his first x-mas, and Texa, who used to live with my dad in an apartment to small for a x-mas tree. so for, they've only gone up to sniff and bat at the lower branches, but we'll see.
