Between You and Me: August 2013
http://lauriekayolson.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Between You and Me. This is a Life? Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Ten Things I Still want to be When I Grow Up. I still want to grow up to be tall, willowy, and graceful. Oh, I know that this is a long shot since none of the women on either side of the family are built like that, but a girl can dream can’t she. We are all short and round – at best we might be described as Rubenesque; at worst we could be called Weight Watchers rejects. *sigh*. I want to grow up to be an even crazier cat lady. I still want ...

Cheek by Jowl: K - The Kismet Kittens
http://laurieswildlife.blogspot.com/2013/04/k-kismet-kittens.html
Friday, April 12, 2013. K - The Kismet Kittens. When I was a kid my mother had adopted a cat named Cassie. Cassie's mother was Cleo, the cat of a. Man my mum was dating. She disappeared within her first year with us and we never saw her again. Eventually mum decided that I needed the companionship of cats again (this was not long after dad moved out and they divorced). So she took me to the Humane Society to adopt another. We'll take them both.". The kittens lived long and healthy lives with us, and even...

Cheek by Jowl: Cats 101
http://laurieswildlife.blogspot.com/2012/05/cats-101.html
Wednesday, May 23, 2012. My cat is . . . well, a cat. She is precocious, funny, lovable, and willing to bite to draw blood. Another time she followed me all the way down the street when I went to the neighborhood garden club meeting. She sat outside the whole time asking to come in. It made everyone laugh and me blush. Late comers kept asking if they should let her in, only to receive a chorus of "No's.". Posted by Laurie Kay Olson. May 23, 2012 at 10:07 PM. Http:/ www.facebook.com/BrittneyTheCat? What a...

Cheek by Jowl: Hamster Haven
http://laurieswildlife.blogspot.com/2013/04/hamster-haven.html
Tuesday, April 9, 2013. When I was about 11 years old my mother bought me a couple of hamsters on a whim. She bought two so that they could keep each other company. Instead one declared war on the other and we ended up having to keep them in separate cages that we kept sitting right next to each other. One hamster was sweet and gentle while the other was hell on earth. So you can guess which one was the aggressor in their relationship. Posted by Laurie Kay Olson. April 9, 2013 at 11:50 PM. Have fun with ...

Cheek by Jowl: September 2013
http://laurieswildlife.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 7, 2013. I don't view animals as little people with fur. I do view them as living, breathing beings possessing varying levels of sentience. So I still eat meat. I might still wear leather if I could afford it. I won't wear fur. What is the difference between leather and fur? I find the beating and abusing of animals abhorrent, as I do in the treatment of humans. This is as true for food animals as it is for soldiers. I am also pro-choice when it comes to abortion. I believ...

Cheek by Jowl: The Buck Stops Here - Well, There, Actually
http://laurieswildlife.blogspot.com/2012/05/buck-stops-here-well-there-actually.html
Friday, May 11, 2012. The Buck Stops Here - Well, There, Actually. Our "trailer" park, or, more politically correctly, mobile home community, is not stereotypical of the "trailer park" of red neck comedians, though there is plenty of comedy around here. We live with a fairly wide range of wildlife passing through. Fox, deer, snakes, rabbits, raccoons, squirrels, skunks. . . Around here it really is a wild life. . . Posted by Laurie Kay Olson.

Cheek by Jowl: The Great Catmunicator
http://laurieswildlife.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-great-catmunicator.html
Sunday, April 7, 2013. My cat is learning to become a very effective communicator, now that she has figured out just how. Stupid I am. Obviously, if she just sits and meows at me, I'm at a total loss. I have to ask her to use her non-verbal skills - though I'm no genius at interpreting them at times either. My mother passed away last year. It is nice to know that there is still someone looking out for me and willing to tuck me in at night. Posted by Laurie Kay Olson. April 7, 2013 at 1:40 PM.
