Walter, the gentleman.

I've told you before that Walter insists on drinking water from our glasses, not from a bowl like a normal cat. We always thought he just preferred the taste of cooler water. Turns out, he's been using his bowl as a sink and washing his paws off after using his litter box. I guess I wouldn't drink that water either. I'm not sure if that makes him the smartest cat in the world or the dumbest.

Walter bits.

Mr. D and I often call Walt nugget. I don't know how it started. The name just stuck. But I think I just figured out why we picked the nickname. The two brown spots on his side look like chicken nuggets. Yep, we're often motivated by food.

I love that little nugget. 

Walter on nip.

Today is your lucky day. You get to see Mr. Walt Kitty in action. He's getting high on the nip (cat nip, for those not in the know). It's in that little stuffed animal. Maybe you don't think this is funny, but I could watch it all day. And, yes, he stayed on his back for a good minute or so after I stopped filming. And, no, I don't condone drug use—unless it's catnip for your insane cat. Then I'm all for it. 

Hello from Walter.

Walter says hi to all of his peeps back home in the DSM. He misses you. He told me so.

This just in: Walter also says he misses his family in Missouri. He loves you mucho.

Watching the Weather

Iowa was hit by a snowstorm yesterday and early today. I am not a fan. But you know who is? Walter. He loves watching the snowflakes come down. I like to pretend he's remembering his days on the streets (the days before Mr. D and I picked him up at the animal shelter), and he's grateful he has a warm place to lay his head. But he's probably just thinking about when we're going to feed him next. The butthead.

And we're back...

I know I'm a little late, but happy New Year! Mr. D and I were off visiting family for a couple of weeks, and we're just getting back into the swing of things. 

But good news—this year I resolve to update this here blog more regularly. I know, I got off to a rocky start, but I assure you it's smooth sailing from here. 

Walter's Water

The dang cat won't drink water unless it's out of a real glass. Is that typical? Is that a stray thing? What a weird-o.

Lazy Bum

While Mr. D worked, I spent today cleaning our apartment. What was Mr. Walt doing? Sleeping. The lazy bum.

Hello, Mr. Walt Kitty

Walter is our cat. He's kind of a big deal.

We adopted him from the local shelter about a year and a half ago, and he has very much rooted himself in the center of our lives. I seriously encourage you to check out your local shelter today. Rescued pets are truly the best.
