While I’m off feigning interest in college football, Ralphie and Weasel will be holding down the fort here.

Ralphie fell into a deep depression this week just moping around and not eating. It took me about a day to realize that Federico (her toy ferret) was missing. Stew and I turned the house upside down and finally found Federico in the laundry. They are reunited and she is back to normal.

Weasel just continues to be tiny and ridiculous. This week she wants to be a tiger.

As bloggers for a day, the cats wanted to share some of their favorite foods with you.

When I first found Ralphie skulking around the neighborhood, I was living with my younger sister and, therefore, had access to low quality meat products like Tyson frozen chicken nuggets. That,unfortunately, is what Ralphie ate for the majority of her gestation.

Once I officially took Ralphie (and her 5 babies) in and made her my own, I started buying Friskies Savory Shreds turkey and cheese flavor. It is as wretched as it sounds and creates poop smells that linger for days.

It made the cats fat, which at the time was ideal as Ralphie was a severely malnourished street cat and the babies were growing. But eventually the weight gain (and the poop) got so out of hand that Stew was finally able to convinced me into switching them over to dry food. This was, however, the cats’ favorite food and they have never forgiven me for the switch.

Now they eat Good Life Recipe crunchies for indoor cats. It’s boring and they loathe it but I don’t have to scoop lethal poops anymore so everybody is happy.

Everyone except Ralphie, that is.
