Has anyone ever heard of a cat LOVING vitamin E pills??? Peanut hears me shaking out my vitamins in the morning and comes running...
She stands on the bathroom sink and stretches up to knock off my vitamin E pill so she can gum-suck it. (FYI -- Peanut is on my back gum-sucking my head as I type this...) Man, is that cat ever heavy!! She is always jumping on my back -- I call myself the Peanut Express. She jumps on my back and then I walk over to her food (on the counter) where she dismounts.
Sometimes she doesn't want to disembark and I have to throw some shoulder into it... LOL!!!!
Back to the Vitamin E thing....
To try and save time in the mornings, I would take out my vitamins the night before and lay them on the bathroom shelf -- well, Peanut quickly discovered this and my Vitamin E pill would be gone by the morning. I even tried hiding the pills on a shelf in the medicine cabinet, but Mike thought it was funny to leave the cabinet door open just a little bit so he could watch Peanut pry it open and steal my pill...
A few mornings ago, I took my pills and set them by the computer where I was going to eat my oats and peruse my email... I had settled into the chair when Peanut came out of nowhere LIKE A BOLT OF LIGHTENING!!!!
In a series of perfectly-executed movements, she jumped on a stool, then the computer desk, grabbed the vitamin E pill in her mouth and jumped down and ran away! I gave pursuit --- but it was like she was on catnip! She was bucking like a bronco and gum-sucking that pill and scratching the carpet -- I just stared at her....
What else could I do??
Have you ever watched a gum-sucking, bronco-bucking cat? It is an alarming sight.
I've resolved the issue by taking my Vitamin E AS SOON AS I OPEN IT. Hahahahahahaha!!
Training:
Had a grrrrrreat trainer ride yesterday. I am so in love with my Computrainer -- I fall in love with it every fall. Sigh. :) :) :)
The weights I've been doing, I feel, have been helping me out immensely. I honestly feel like they have been my *missing link* among other things -- hahahahahaha!! The strength I've gained in my back and legs and arms and chest -- wow - I've noticed a big improvement in the watts I can push out on the ole CT now. YAHOOOOO!!! Let the sweat pour!! Hahahahahahahaah!!
One other note about The Nut...
After every workout I have a 7 minute stretching routine I do on the yoga mat. Peanut loves the yoga mat even more than Vitain E -- she rolls on it, meowing and errrking and rubbing her orange body all over my sweaty face and legs as I try to stretch. Orange fur sticks to sweat.....
NICE.
LMAO!!!

growing up I had a veggetarian dog. He would spend so much time with my Mom in the garden(my mom had a huge!!!! garden) that eventually he started eating the veggies. Not only eating them, but picking them himself, pretty much everything beans, peas, potatoes, carrots, corn. My mom didn't mind much since she had lots, except when he'd grab a hold of a pea on the vine and rippppppp the whole vine off. But yeah he'd actually dig up the potatoes and carrots on his own too. He knew where they were from watching my mom. I think he ate strawberries and raspberries, not tomatoes though. Normally you'd see a dog sitting and knawing on a bone right? In this case our dog would chew on a raw potato. LOL I don't know why I'm telling you this, I guess just the weird querks animals have from watching us humans. Keep up the CT training Julie I'll see you on the CDA course, ripping it up!!!
First off, love the new blog header! Hilarious about the Nut. Finlay is a huge fan of veggies, just like runningman's dog. He hangs around in the kitchen hoping to catch some carrot, or a tomato, apple, pear, you name it. Not fond of strawberries though.
Glad to hear all the strength training is paying off!
You gave pursuit!? Surely, even in the unlikely event of catching her, you wouldn't have made her disgorge the pill, and taken it yourself??? Oh, please, I hope...
Susi might remember our Nefertiti cat, the famous magical hovering cat. She would sleep on your shoulder or hip, and no matter how you thrashed, she'd remain there. Same with laps.
We have seen a gum-sucking, bronco-bucking cat. 17 pounds worth. High on catnip. Yeehaw!
Cats love to show off just how bad humans are a yoga and stretching in general.
Oh dear. A cat on vitamins. That is very funny!! My old cat used to eat olives.
I love Peanut and I don't even have cats! Sweet buddy, vitamin E lover. Ah, the fall and winter. It's time for some trainer...I hate it too!
