As many of you know, Cruella had a large malignant tumor removed from her abdomen last March. She also had several mast cell tumors removed from underneath her skin. She has had regular oncology visits since that time. Last November, a new mast cell tumor appeared and was removed. Since that time, there has been [...]

Addicted to Coupons
I officially started my Total Money Makeover on July 16th, and I am pleased to say that it’s moving along quite nicely. Certain activities are taking a little longer than I originally thought they would, but that’s because of the unexpected vet bills I’ve experienced over the past month. Fortunately, I have managed to pay [...]
Overheard at the Vet’s Office #3
What did one vet tech say to the other while taking Cruella for a walk on the grassy strip behind the clinic? “Watch out for the landmines!”

Ode to My Best Friend
I’ve been blessed with some great friends during my lifetime. I’ve blogged about many of them here at The Kat House, but there’s one very important fella that has barely gotten a mention. It’s not because he isn’t deserving of a thousand wonderful posts. In fact, there’s no one more deserving than my best friend. [...]
A Song That Brings Me to Tears
Teeni tagged me on an interesting new meme. I have to post about a song that touches me and brings me to tears. I had planned to post one of the many tearjerking country songs I know, but instead, I decided to go a completely different route. Many years ago, the tears flowed when I [...]
