Cat parent secret of the universe:
original Cat Dancer cat toy, which looks too simple to be awesome but is Jiji's favorite thing in the world.
I have no pics of her with it she goes too fast, she just spins and flails with it.
Endless entertainment for all under $5
Also gratuitous cat pic
Glorious long orange cat wrapped around my leg with a slightly crazed look that is exactly what it looks like she's gonna blow

The dilemma: Artsy friend is starting chemo
The solution: A travel watercolor kit

This falls under the category of goblin gifts, which means homemade, and possibly it looks like a 4 year old made it, but also the love is in there

I thought of something I can do for my friend that's starting chemo. I'm going to make doodle pages. I'll paint the background and she can doodle without having to use her brain.
