A blog by two cats who used to live in the same house in Northern Virginia. Unfortunately, they are both no longer with us.
Taxes? Due when?
posted by Jake and Bathsheba @ 10:49 PM
Jake: I was a nearly 15 year old tabby who commanded and demanded attention. I used to love to hang around on my deck outside. I developed cancer and died February 5, 2009. I didn't like my sister because she was cranky. Bathsheba: I was a polydactyl 18 year old dilute tortie and white. I used to be a big hunter in my day, but I retired when I went deaf. I developed a rapidly spreading cancer that affected my appetite and I died in the garden in November 2009. I loved my mom the best. Jake was a constant annoyance, but I missed him when he was gone. For a short while I contended with that bothersome kitten Emerson who is now my legacy to the cat blogosphere.

Oh Jake, I think you are a brave mancat to get that close to a tax form!
I do not blame you for falling asleep, Jake. Taxes are boring!
Taxes are super boring.
The IRS should give us Geezer Cats a tax break!

Sorry you have to do taxes. We leave that totally to the staff....
We hate "Tax Time" too, but only cause The Big Thing says Bad Werdz when doing them forms.
Oh, Jake ... Teleport over to my house. Mom's taxes have been done since January 26th an' she's had her refund since Valentine's Day ... Oh, an' Grandad used to work for H&R Block (an' the IRS ...)
...He can get your taxes filed in a jiffy!
Smooches!

Taking a nap through tax time sounds like a dandy idea!
Happy belated birthday Jake.
Yes, our Mom doesn't let us blog so much anymore either. In any case, it is OK if you just want to stay inside Bathsheba because I'm a good hunter and I will bring you all the mousies you need.

How will you spend your return and rebate? I’d like to tell you that I’ve written a scathingly funny book, The World Is Your Litter Box, which will be out May 6th. The book is cleverly disguised as a cute cat book so humans will buy it, but is, in fact, a how-to manual FOR cats. Check it out on my website, www.theworldisyourlitterbox.com.
My mom was freaking out over the tax thing, too - she wasn't even going to prepare them; it was gathering everything up and adding all those numbers that was driving her crazy! They're finally done now.
Our mom just did and mailed out her taxes. She was grumbling a lot and saying loud words. She doesn't like this Mr. IRS person.
Lol...So Cute Happy Belated Birthday.
Please be so kind to come by our blog, there is a party invitation and an award for you!

The Party is on now, so drop by anytime, we have "Lizards - ALL You Can Eat"! And lots of fun.
Karl
P.S. - don't worry - we are not good with visiting anymore either - if we make the rounds once a week we are lucky.... But we always think of you!
Taxes. I do hate them. It makes daddy krabby trying to figure out all of the stupid rules!
Have a good nap when you are done and don't forget to get that out before midnight :-D
