Mama BiskChip

I don't know who needs to hear this, but sometimes the best Friday night plans involve absolutely NO plans. Just comfy clothes, something good to eat, a show you've already watched 15 times, and your pets hanging out nearby. That's my kind of Friday night. ❤️

A little reminder for anyone trying to grow on social media. Sometimes a video you spent 10 minutes making will outperform one you worked on for HOURS. I've been doing this for almost eight years, and I still can't predict everything that will take off. You just have to keep experimenting!

Biskit was sitting on one of the armchair earlier when I walked over and started scratching her head. She was LOVING it, purring and leaning into my hand, until Chip walked into the room and she immediately got up to follow him. Apparently our appointment was over. 😂

Chip was sitting on the dining room chair this morning making the most dramatic little noises. I walked over thinking something was wrong, and he immediately rolled onto his side and stretched out his paws. Apparently I had been summoned for a private performance. LOL.

Biskit was sitting in the hallway earlier and Chip tried to walk past her. She reached out one paw, gently touched his shoulder, and then went right back to sitting there like nothing happened. Chip stopped and looked at her for a solid five seconds. I feel like I just witnessed a very serious workplace disagreement. 😂

Okay, pet owners, I want to know something. What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever purchased for your pet that they actually LOVED??? Not the expensive stuff they ignored. I mean the completely unnecessary purchase that somehow became their favorite thing ever. 😂

I woke up this morning feeling like I was going to be SO productive today. Then I remembered that being productive also involves answering emails, making decisions, and talking to other humans. Can I just do the part where I cross things off my list??? 😂

One thing nobody warned me about having a toddler AND cats is how often I would hear a suspicious noise and have absolutely no idea which one of them caused it. Sometimes it's a toy hitting the floor. Sometimes it's Chip knocking something over. Sometimes it's Biskit doing something she's not supposed to. And sometimes it's all three working together. 😅

Biskit has recently decided that if Dad is sitting somewhere, that is exactly where SHE needs to be. Doesn't matter if he's eating, working, or trying to get up. She'll make herself comfortable and act personally betrayed when he moves. I married him, but apparently she's the one who owns him. 😂

Chip has absolutely no survival instincts when it comes to being carried around the house. I can scoop him up, turn him sideways, hold him like a baby, and he just accepts that this is his transportation now. Meanwhile, Biskit would like to speak to management if you hold her for three seconds longer than she authorized. LOL.

Biskit was being unusually sweet earlier, so naturally I got suspicious. She followed me around, rubbed against my legs, and even let me pick her up without complaining. Then I realized her food bowl was empty. I really thought we were having a MOMENT. 😭

Chip has this hilarious habit of following me into a room and then acting completely confused about why we're there. He'll stand in the doorway, look around, and eventually wander off like he just remembered he has somewhere more important to be. Buddy, I don't even know why I'M in here half the time. 😂

I love how Saturday mornings are supposed to be relaxing, but somehow I've already started laundry, picked up 14 random things off the floor, made coffee, and remembered three things I forgot to do yesterday. And it's not even 8 AM. LOL.

Okay I have a question for everyone who has multiple pets. Do yours ever seem to have little inside jokes or secret conversations that you're NOT invited to?? 😂 Because sometimes Chip and Biskit will look at each other, do something completely random, and then walk away like they just agreed on something.

FRIDAYYYYY!!! I have a whole list of things I want to get done before the weekend, but I've already mentally checked out and started thinking about what we're having for dinner tonight. 😂 Honestly, if I finish even half my list today, I'm calling it a win.

I was thinking earlier about how much has changed since we first brought Chip home. Different jobs, different routines, a whole business, a baby, and SO many things we never could've predicted. And through all of it, he's just been our little Chippy Boi. Still the same happy, ridiculous cat. ❤️

Chip was sitting in the bathroom sink earlier and I turned on the faucet just a tiny bit. He leaned forward, sniffed the water, got one drop on his nose, then, looked personally offended. Sir, YOU requested this experience. 😂

Biskit was laying on the floor earlier when I walked past her. She reached out one paw and gently tapped my ankle, so I stopped. She looked up at me. I said "what is it, Biskit?" She tapped me again. Apparently I was supposed to understand the first time.

I genuinely think my cats have better work-life balance than I do. Chip knows exactly when it's time to relax. Biskit has never once answered an email after hours. Meanwhile, I'm over here convincing myself that checking one more thing before bed is totally reasonable.

Biskit was sitting on the couch earlier and I reached over to pet her. She let me. Then she grabbed my hand with both paws. I thought she wanted more pets. Nope. Vampire bites. I fall for this approximately every time. 😭
