It’s almost Taco Tuesday. What kind of tacos should I order? Taco Bell ones give me the [redacted] TOONA You should get TOONA TOONA TACO TUESDAY You’re welcome. = = = I was reading “Purrfect Advice” by Nic Saint, and saw this: “Well, we could start a column with pets writing in and asking questions, […]
Great answers, you are most certainly worth steak. Any advice for how to get a cat used to drinking out of a fountain instead of the sink? Hm. I’ve always preferred a fountain so it just kinda happened. If there’s room, maybe start with the fountain near the preferred sink, and when the cat tries […]
Hi Max! I don’t know what to do about the kitty that lives outside the window. I used to be a feral but now I am an inside girl. There is another kitty that is feral but she does not want to be inside. But Max, that is good because I do not like her! […]
All right, doods, I hope you’re all doing well and your people aren’t driving you six kinds of nuts while they’re staying at home interrupting all your naps. I’ve had it pretty easy; the Woman has always worked from home and the only thing that really changed is that she can’t take breaks to go […]
Max, the only reason any cat would need a bath is if they’ve got something gross stuck to their fur, or they need flea shampoo. Any other reason is just wrong…right? I can’t think of any reason other than torture, and that’s just mean. I’m not even sure why people like baths for themselves. They […]
What will you be doing to entertain the troops during this undoubted crisis of humanity, and B (not that there was an A) To spot the humans being OVER attentive with the grubby paws – well overly sterilised paws. OK there is a third. C) How does one stop a human from trying to bathe […]
So nice of you to offer your books for free. Max. My human already has them all, I’ve read them on her tablet thing. I don’t like this pandemic thing. The human has to stay home now, so I have to snoopervise to make sure she actually does some work. It’s exhausting! The stabby place […]
Dear Wise Max, My name is Sonny, but my mama calls me Muffin, or Fluffyfloofkins (why does she do this? I mean I am quite fluffy and must say very handsome, but sheesh a cat requires dignity) I am almost 13 and have two pain in the *asterick* sisters, Little Miss Sapphire and Temperance Sweets […]
O Wise Max, This is Dot and I have suffered an indignity…momma gave me a bath. Like you, I’m an oldster (I turn twenty in a few weeks). Momma said I wasn’t smelling “fresh” even though my many white parts looked clean. Well, duh, I must be cleaning myself…but no…she says that’s an indication of […]
Max! A STAINLESS STEEL litter box?!? How did we miss this development? What does it look like? And where can we get one (or four)? (s) Belle, Romulus, Rosalyn and Harrison Seriously, they make stainless steel litter boxes. And it looks like, surprise, a little box! We got ours at Amazon but it might not […]
Max, The human has a blankie that is sometimes very warm. Like, if you could sit in the fireplace without setting your asterisk on fire warm. But then sometimes, it’s just regular blanket temperature. I sit on it anyway, thinking it’s gonna be all warm, but then I realize it’s not and I go on […]
There was a discussion regarding the tiny white bowl placed in front of my mancat cubbie. There had never been a bowl there before, and while I was witness to its placement, Buddah was not, and he did his best to convince me that drinking from it would be a huge mistake. It could be […]
Max, how will you be preparing for Valentines Day? If not you, will the staff be setting out their stall for each other or do they just, like, ignore and carry on regardless? What would your tips be for the best gifts a Cool Cat like yourself could get or give on this strange day….. […]
Max, what are your thoughts about Sherlock Holmes? AC Doyle wrote his stories a long time ago, but since then, lots of writers continue to write about Holmes’s unique abilities to help solve crime (if the coppers will let him!) I wonder how many people believe he was a real, live human? Well, honestly, the […]
Hi! Know what I’ve been doing all week? I’ll tell you. No. I’ll SHOW you. It’s been cold outside, so the Woman has turned the fireplace on for me A LOT this week. She says she thinks I sleep better when I’m in my mancat cave with the warms blowing around, so if I ask […]
Dear Max. That festive occasion on the 25th (not Christmas, as we do not celebrate that) has come and gone, and I am a year older. I really ought to have made a new year resolution this year but can’t think of any to make besides the usual: eat more, chase mice, chase more mice, […]
Dear Mr. Max, My name is Max too! My mom lady named me after you and so I have to make you proud! Mr. Max, I am all of 3 months old and pretty tiny. I seem to drive ladies totally crazy and they just love to cuddle me. My question for you is this: […]
Doods! I hope you’ve had an awesome holiday season–and it’s not over. We still have New Year’s Day, and this one will be a year filled with clarity and far vision, a good time to take stock and see what’s what. Look ahead and see the bigger picture–there’s not going to be another 2020, so […]
You are, of course, right about life without cat hair all over being not what it’s cracked up to be. How many treats are enough? Just one more? Count out the treats and give them to the kitty one by one. When he throws up, there’s your answer. One less than that. = = = […]
My question is, is there any way to make fresh laundry unattractive to cats? We had limited success using a detergent that had a really strong perfumy smell, but it was too much for me so i had to go back to the one we’d been using. Well, if you leave it in the dryer […]
