I have a neighbor and a friend who regularly take care of Toby when my boyfriend and I are out of town. Both have declined money in the past so for one I make pie or cookies (I make a killer blueberry pie) and for Christmas we’re giving him a gift certificate to the restaurant…

Best part of working at home
The heat is broken at my office today so I’m working from home. I was just starting to get annoyed with an excel sheet (I love the program, but often have to check formatting formulas) when I heard a commotion to my left. I turned and there was Toby. Ignore the mass of gray fur…
First Ever Film By Cats
Departing from the holiday theme, I know I’m late on this, but I finally saw the Purina “Cat Diaries” today and it melted my heart with happiness. We’re still in the midst of a nasty cold snap in DC right now, but this warmed my heart. Don’t forget, with the cold snap, make sure to…
Leaping Bunny Reminder!
Don’t forget that many animal lovers, even those who aren’t vegetarian, avoid products that have been tested on animals. That’s not a major issue with books, but if you’re trying to pamper the hands of an animal-loving teacher with superb lotion or give a relaxing spa set to your stressed out wife, make sure to…
Three Gift Ideas for Animal Lovers (and an Eggnog Complaint)
I brought my first eggnog of the season home a week or so ago and have had the devil of a time keeping glasses of it away from Toby.. I keep turning my back for a second only to find his entire head in my empty glass, frantically licking up the remains of the eggnog….
All Healthy!
Finally went in for a full day of work on Friday. So grateful that my company allows us to work remotely. I was all set to go in tomorrow afternoon, but then Toby had a tablespoon or so of blood in his litter box. I freaked, called the vet for advice, and she said that…
Slight Delay
The rest of the guide will be posted once I recover from a nasty cold and trust myself to write coherent sentences. Many apologies.
It’s Advent!
Let’s cover my horribly long absence by stating that I had some personal stuff to take care of that meant my internet time has been severely limited. I’ve been reading only my most favorite blogs and even commenting on those only in batches while mostly lurking. I’d apologize, but I think it’s understood that people…
Housekeeping
After a great deal of thought, I’m going to spend some time this weekend getting posts ready and cleaning up Capital Animals so that I can post on a more regular schedule with better content in the future. If you have any feedback (criticism, compliment, or complaints are all welcome! Well, within reason.) I’d love…
Welcome You Back with Electronica Cats
I’ve been absent as of late partially because of work and partially because I was busy outside of work. Last week was my birthday and amongst other awesome times and gifts, my brother gave me amazing cat toys that amuse Toby (and thus me, too) for hours on end. My brother is pretty awesome. I’m…
