Nibbles-n-Bits: Your Daily Cute
Who doesn't love a daily does of Cute? Dorian Wagner knows the answer to that question: NOBODY! That's why she created Your Daily Cute three years ago. No matter how bad your day is, you can skip over to Your Daily Cute, take in a few adorable videos, and suddenly the clouds part and you leave with a sunshiny smile on your face.
Dorian took a break from her Cute duties, as well as her new gig writing the cat blog at Catster, to answer a few questions for the Nibbles-n-Bits feature.
Catladyland: What is something you've learned since you began writing Your Daily Cute?
Cute: I think I used to think it was a funny thought that cats rule the internet, but I’ve come to realize it’s actually true. I’m pretty sure YouTube is 98% cat videos, with a random music video or news reporter blooper thrown in.
I started Your Daily Cute thinking it would be fun to have a bunch of cute videos in one place, but I had no idea that almost three years later I’d still have no shortage of cute cat videos to post!
If they ever get the right to vote, we’re in trouble…
In all seriousness, though, I’ve learned that there is a huge group of people out there who care deeply about animals and go out of their way to help, support and do amazing things to help them. I don’t know if I would have met most of them if it wasn’t for the Cute.

Catladyland: Name three things that make you laugh.
Cute: Moo’s ritual of bring toys to my clothes every day. I always leave my pajama pants on the floor when I get dressed and leave the house in the morning (Everyone leaves clothes thrown around, right?), and without fail, every single day while I’m gone, Moo picks out his favorite toys and drags them through the house to my pants. Every time I come home and see a stuffed gator, a green feather boa and a wand toy or two on top of them, I can’t help but giggle.
Silly short jokes. The stupider, the better.
Cute cat videos. (That was a gimme, though.)

Catladyland: Fill in the blank: Something most people don't know about me is that I like to _____________.
Cute: .....do crafty stuff. I go through phases where I’m more into it, but I love to knit and crochet (although I’ve never actually completed a big project) and cross-stitch and stuff. Anything with something “stringy” I guess. When I grow up I want to be an old woman knitting outside on my front porch in a rocking chair surrounded by cats. :)

Cat Dentists: Fail
Cat dentists try to medicate with catnip instead of nitrous oxide.
No, it's "not the same thing," Dr. Cosmo.

Saffy is List-less
This morning I confiscated this list from Saffy.
She dashed away and when I found her, she'd skipped #1 and moved directly to #2.

Laughter: Saving my Sanity
My schedule has been beyond hectic the past few months. Some of you know I have been co-directing the school play and have also started writing for Life With Cats. That, on top of everything else that fills my already bulging planner pad, has left little to no time for much else. I have neglected reading the blogs of my sweet friends (I'm so sorry) and the faded polish on my raggedy toenails looks like ten tiny Rorschach ink blot tests. For the record, each of those ink blots clearly indicate I am certifiably cuckoo.
Thankfully the play performances are at the end of this week and my schedule will settle down a bit. This week is particularly busy and so I thought it would be a good time to stop and LAUGH. Laughter breaks the tension and lightens the load. It saves my sanity...and I'm not even kidding.
For today, here is something that send me into fits of giggles. I hope you will share a much-needed laugh with me.
My daughter had a fondue party last weekend. As I watched the teenage girls gathered around the fondue pot with their skewered strawberries hovering over the warm urn of chocolately goodness, I could imagine only one thing: What if my cats had a fondue party? How funny would it be to happen upon cats sitting around a delicious pot of fondue? Hmmmmm.....
All better now....

Dear Mama
The following is a reprint from last summer, when there was ummm...chaos afoot.
Dear Mama,
We understand that there is some renovation work happening in the house and everything feels chaotic; however, we would like to make a few suggestions that would make our lives just a little more tolerable.
- Can you please make the "magic box" containing treats more accessible...somewhere whisker-level, perhaps?
- Phoebe wants full-access to the catnip stash. Strictly medicinal purposes...
- Saffy said she is stressed out by the workers in the house and needs an extra serving of food (or three) to cope.
- How about doing a few extra loads of laundry, drying them on the high-setting, dumping them on your bed, and "forgetting" to fold them.
- Cosmo wants to know if it is possible to move the bird feeders indoors and leave the patio door open.
- If it feels too labor-intensive to move the bird feeders, how about creating a sunflower seed trail from the front porch into the laundry room? The chipmunks would be great company.
- Phoebe wanted to mention the catnip again...
Thank you for your thoughtful attention and careful consideration to our humble requests.
Love,
Cosmo, Saffy, and Phoebe

I Choose to Snooze!
It's Sunday! Unless the house is on fire or you're offering something from the treat family, let me sleep!
