The following is an excerpt from an interview that did not appear in Cat Fancy magazine:
I can’t take all the credit, but yeah, I think I was the first person to use the term, “cat aquariums,” this way.
Before that, they were just regular fish aquariums for cats, ya know, to give them something interesting to look at, but then I came with the idea of building really big aquariums filled with cats for crazy cat ladies like me.
This one here is our bestseller. It’s called the Tabby 2000. It’s a 2,000-cubic-foot, lightweight plexiglass enclosure, complete with AstroTurf flooring, a 60-foot-long cat run and dual-cedar climbing trees for $390 (cats not included).
Very popular at birthday parties and farmers’ markets this year…
Oh, that one? That one over there is our portable model, the Micro-Mau. It’s designed for home use. As you can see, it’s about the size of a phone booth. Same AstroTurf flooring, a single cedar climbing tree with seven levels and a perch on top. Perfect for households with one or two cats.
If you’re interested, I can give you a great deal on a floor model. 🙂
Rise and shine, pal o’ mine. Good morning!
Hope all is well on your end of the keyboard. No complaints from here. I slept in a little, and now I’m just fooling around online (as you can see).
I had so much fun with the girls in the city yesterday. I got a nice medium-pressure massage at Bliss (turned out I wasn’t in the mood for deep-tissue) and then tea and yummy food at Samovar.
Not sure what I’m gonna do today. I cleaned the house yesterday before leaving, so I did most of my chores. I might try to go see Snow White and the Huntsman, but it’s such a nice day outside; I’d rather not spend it indoors.
We’ll see. Right now I’m going to take Tabs out for a quick walk. Be back soon. 🙂

I just looked up the word “summer” on dictionary.com and my computer started playing this song.
Now where’d I put my big hoops…?

P.S. Seven seconds. That’s how long it would take you to enter this weekend’s $50 Sephora eGift card giveaway with a quick one-word comment like, “poop!” Incidentally, that’s one second less than it takes to win a rodeo. 🙂

Ooh, Tabs! I am madly in love with those eyes and whiskas! Would love to lounge at Samovar again, someday! Today, i am planning to have some meow time (which of course will involve hanging out at Sephora and some noms). And i need to visit a bookstore, any bookstore…It’s so sad that so many bookstores have closed (there weren’t many to begin with, in this area)-but there is something about being at bookstore that’s just so, so relaxing!
Karen says
Hi, musical. I wholeheartedly agree about bookstores, and they’re disappearing. It’s sad. I do like amazon.com, and who doesn’t like low prices, right? — but that’s part of the reason bookstores are disappearing.
What if a bookstore charged a low annual fee, like a Sam’s Club or Costco, where a few dollars/year got you access to the store? That might be one way for more brick ‘n mortar bookstores to stay in business. They need to do something, that’s for sure, before it’s too late.
musical says
You’re right, Karen-bookstores need to come up with innovative ways to stay in business. For example: Harvard Book Store introduced “Espresso Book Machine”-to instantly print public domain books. Some bookstores have a good cafe’ as a part of the deal, while a few others have fantastic gift shops.The membership fee sounds like a nice idea!
It was such a treat to be at a bookstore today (chain or not)-I picked the boxed set of 1Q84-easier to carry each book now, instead of the bulky one ;).

Tabs 😀 😀 He is the cutest :*
Karen says
Hi, Rads. Uh, oh. Don’t let him hear you saying that. It’ll go straight to his head! 🙂
What are you up to this weekend?
Nadège says
Tabs totally needs a show or a youtube channel!
So…I’m loving Big Hoops! Never heard it before 🙂 And I LOVE How We Do. It’s on my summer playlist!
