summer

I never thought about teaching Summer to jump vertically through a hoop until I saw somebody else doing it. So here’s our first practice session. I hope you stay till the end because she really surprised me! #cattricks ##cattraining##catlife##cats##fyp

Marshall’s is back with some fancy cat dresses! My friend git this one for Summer to model…and i found some accessories to match #catmodel #marshallsfinds #catdress #fyp

Summer and I are doing our gherapy cat vidit st the assisted living residences today. It’s usually pretty easy for us, although you never know! The residents are usually sweet but occasionally unpredictable #therapycat #purringcat #cattok

Summer will be live for her birthday at about 3 PM Pacific time on Tuesday, March 19 (that would be the morning of the 20th for people in Australia and NZ). We’ll be live for anout half an hour. I hope you can pop im and say hi!

She was really confused about why we were sitting in the car and not going into @target. But she was still happy to be there! #targetrun #catadventures #happycat #fyp

When I travel with Summer, I leave her in the carrier for a few minutes while I take the following hotel room precautions: 1. I check under the bed for anything hazardous that might have been left behind. The maids don’t always look under the bed when cleaning up. There could be meds (legal or illegal), razor blades or other sharp objects, strings, etc. Also check the box springs. I’ve found the fabric that covers them is often torn, which means a cat could crawl up in there. Good to know if you ever can’t find them. 2. If the bed’s on a platform, check where the mattress meets the wall. There’s often a crawl space behind there that the cat could crawl into. I try to block these areas with pillows, but you have to stuff them in really tight or the cat will still be able to squeeze in there. 3. Check for any other small spaces a cat might crawl behind or under, and possibly get stuck. This includes underneath comfy chairs and behind the dresser and nightstands. You want to know of all potential hiding spots, or danger areas. 4. You will probably have one trash can where you put things that may be hazardous to your cat, like dental floss, or things you just don’t want your cat to get into, like food trash. I always keep one specific trash can for that type of stuff and put it on a high shelf in the closet. That’s the one place your cat can’t get to. Because believe me, they will probably go everywhere else! The one alternative to this, if there isn’t a closet with a door that closes is to use a drawer. 5. Keep anything you’ve brought that may be a danger to your cat, like your meds or supplements, zipped up in your tote or in a drawer. Unless your cat likes to open drawers. Then definitely just use a zipped up bag for those items. I’ve found everything in hotel rooms from over the counter male enhancement pills to empty cat food cans. A friend who travels with cats once found a switchblade! So do check thoroughly. Once you know it’s safe, then you can let your cat out to explore. I always keep Summer’s harness with ID on when I need to leave the room without her (going to the gym or to eat). I usually decline maid service during our stays to minimize the chance of people entering the room when she’s there and I’m not. #cats #travelcat #catadvice #catsafety

Summer had a good time at the cat show! I dodnt get as much video as usual but you can see somebof what she wore #catshow #cats #catlife #catsoftiktok

So many of you ask to see kitten photos of Summer, so here you go! #kitten #cutekitten #kittensoftiktok #fyp

This is Summer’s typical dinner routine. I thought you might like to see #catfood #dinnerwithme #catlife #fyp

If you celebrate Easter, share it with you cat by making them a cat Easter Basket! Summer shows you how in this fun DIY tutorial #cat #easterbasket #happyeaster #catgifts #diyeaster

We lost the music to the original video quite a while ago. So here’s a new version of Summer modeling Dolly Parton’s pet clothing line. I think theyre way too big for her. Let me know if you agree. We did keep the hat. #catmodel #dollyparton #catfashion #cutecat #fyp

It’s a fashion show with Summer! How’d I do matching outfits with these tiny hats? #catfashion #cathat #catmodel #cats #fyp

For those of you who have asked how I trained Summer to wear clothes— I didn’t! She liked it right from the start so I didn’t have to do anything. All I really did was make sure it was a fun experience for her every time we did a dress up video. So if your cat doesn’t really want to dress up, and most of them don’t, just don’t do it. #catsoftiktok #catmodel #catlife #fyp

Not only did the peach kitty come visiting when Summer and I got back from Ventura, he brought his mom! She stayed and watched for the whole visit, and actually hung around outback for quite a while after we were back inside #cats #outsidecat #catsoftiktok #fyp

Maybe I’m overprotective, but I avoid having Summer in the smaller indie pet shops at the same time as I know dogs are in there as much as possible. I want her to be able to wander freely without worrying about an unfortunate encounter. We did get in eventually and she had fun exploring to her heart’s content ##catadventures##catonaleash##catfun##cats##fyp

We’re at the cat show in Ventura today! The address is 10 West Harbor Blvd. and you have to drive all all the way around to the far end of the fairgrounds. We’re here until 4:30. If you’re in the area I hope you can make it! ##catshow##catlover##cats

Sometimes a modeling session turns inyo a play session! #catplaying #catlife #catsoftiktok #fyp

This was Summers very first outfit she ever wore, and she still wears it occasionally. I knew she wore this as a five month old kitten that she would wear pretty much anything, and like it #pirate #cat #cattok #catpirate

The peach kitty showed up to see Summer and he was especially friendly to me this time. #cats #catfriends #catlovers #catlife #happycat #viral

I just noticed that one of my favorite videos with the peach kitty was muted because of the music problems TikTok has been having. So I changed the music track for it. Watch him try to steal her away. It’s hilarious! #twocats #funnycats #catlove #cutecats #catsoftiktok
