Cat People versus Dog People

Blog Status: Ella is spending a quiet night at home

I've always said there are two types of people in the world. Cat People and Dog People. I'm a Cat Person.


No offence to all you Dog People out there, but I generally don't like dogs. Cats are less work, less mess and (in my opinion) are much better cuddlers. Cats are quieter and less needy and you don't have to get up at the crack of dawn in the winter to walk them.

However, last night I came very close to falling in love with a dog.




I challenge even the most devout Cat Person to resist that face. I just wanted to eat him up and snuggle him.

Not to be outdone, I came home last night and that adorable creature up there was very angry with me. I picked her up to cuddle with her, and she could TOTALLY sniff Dog on me and let me know (with a nice sized scratch) that my associating with dogs would not be tolerated.

So readers, Are you a Cat Person or a Dog Person?

** Thank you Bluefish for the correction on my title!

..I'm not even positive that this title is gramatically correct in french. Anyone?

Anyway, my mom arrived home from a very fun-filled week in Paris yesterday, and we spent most yesterday catching up. She told me all about her trip, and made me miss Paris just that little bit more.

On the bright side, she brought me back a very unexpected present! I love Longchamp bags, and if you've ever been to Paris, or anywhere in europe really, you've probably seen them. I have a small one in navy that I use as a purse quite often, but my mom brought me back a tote-sized one similar to the bottom photo in a beautiful cream colour. Its big enough to fit my laptop and assorted school books, and I have to admit I'm in love with it! Its perfect for school, work and travelling.

Things in my household seem to have resumed back to normal, The Cat went back to sleeping with my mom, and I have to admit I felt a little lonely last night not having 16lbs of fur waking me up intermitently throughout the night. Go figure. I spent the majority of last week b*tching about The Cat, and now I miss her.

The weather here is absolutely amazing today. 27degrees C with a HUMIDEX of 30! I'm living it up today as much as I can. I broke out my jean skirt and flip flops for the first time this year.

I hope everyone around the world is having good weather today too! I especially hope for my fellow Bloggers from the Netherlands that you guys have good weather for Queen's Day this week! Its not a celebration I'm familiar with, but it sounds very exciting.

Ella alone day 5

..the aforementioned cat has developed a new habit. This morning I woke up to her "lightly" scratching the side of my arm with her paw. It would have been adorable if it wasn't 6am once again. I ignored it for a good 40 minutes. She in turn I suppose got more frustrated at me and swiped the side of my cheek with said paw. Needless to say that woke me up. I now have a red war wound on the side of my face in the shape of a scratch.

This photo is actually her (when she's peacefully sleeping) although after this morning I'm thinking the first is more appropriate. I love her to death, just maybe not before 8am.

I know a lot of you are also cat lovers, does anyone have any funny/annoying cat stories?

Ella alone Day 3

I woke up this morning to find that we have no running water. Which of course never happens when my mom is home. So I've been on the phone with the property management company and water company and talking to my neighbours. No one knows why we have no water at the moment. Which made getting dressed this morning extra fun. Has anyone else had the pleasure of brushing their teeth with a water bottle?


Also, I was so preoccupied with the water situation, I managed to burn a poptart! Who does that?




Hrmm, so that's my sunday so far. Now I'm off to the library for most of the day, and hopefully coming back to a nice shower.


Also, my beloved cat has developed the habit of wanting food at 6am. I managed to ignore her until abut quarter to 7, and then gave up and got up to feed her.
