Hey...I'm back!!

It's been a long time since I've written on my blog! I've been so busy writing articles on Triond.com that I actually forgot that I had started this site on Blogger. Now...if you think I'm exagerating even just a teeny bit, go to www.triond/M-J-katz.com where you'll see over 50 articles written on various topics such as politics, comedy, living with cats, and even a few poems I courageously attempted! Lol!

My husband, his 19 year old son, Adam, and I have just moved to Las Vegas, Nevada along with our two cats, SpiceGirl and Noodleman. We were last in Lincoln, Nebraska but the job situation there sucks so we decided to come to the city that we've always loved...and were married in, too...in order to increase our chances of becoming employed!
Wish us luck because this was one hell of a decision...scary and so final, moneywise. It's a 'do or die' situation but WE'RE GOING TO DO IT!! And we're a lot closer to California now where so many family and friends are just 5 or 6 hours away! WE CAN VISIT THEM NOW!! Lol!

We have a small one-bedroom apartment at the present time...with a 6-month lease...but as soon as we save up more money, we plan on renting a house or 2-bedroom apartment because the KITTIES ARE DRIVING ME NUTS!

Everywhere I turn, there's either a cat sleeping on my side of the bed, or curled up in my computer chair! Did I say, "a cat"? Well, that needs to be amended because Noodleman The Knave isn't the culprit this time. It's the Innocent One who always played second fiddle to the knave in our previous home.

SpiceGirl has quickly developed the attitude that this new home belongs to her, and that she just allows the rest of us to live here...providing we abide by her 'rules'. But I don't know how long SpiceGirl is going to live if she keeps laying down in the middle of the living room floor where most of the foot traffic occurs!

However, Noodleman has the right idea...he found a spot in the bedroom closet that he now calls his domain. Safe...dark...and out of the way. And, believe me, he has let it be known that this area belongs to him, too. Ha ha ha. A little hiss goes a long way, apparently. SpiceGirl is allowed to look inside the closet door much as a kid looks through the window of a candy store but that's it. Lol!! She knows better than to try and claim this little piece of 'real estate' along with the rest of the apartment!

But don't get all sad for her because SpiceGirl has her own routine around here besides claim-jumping beds and chairs. For example, she won't let anyone go into the bathroom without an escort...she constantly jumps up on the kitchen countertops to see what I'm doing while knocking down salt and pepper shakers, papers, keychains, and anything else that may have been temporarily placed there for safekeeping...and has claimed the best kitty bed on the Cat Tree by the kitchen window!

Noodleman may have been the King in our previous home but now the mantra seems to be LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!

However, since it's just the first week of living here, I'm sure things could change a bit because when you're dealing with kitties, anything is possible!

Have a good one! :)
