It’s Monday! What Are YOU Reading and #JHC 10

77 comments

1. My Human bought a big BOO sign at Costco — it is in her office at work though. I think she should bring it home so I can take a picture with it! Snowball is *always* Awwwww-worthy to me! XOXOXO

   1. Snowball thanks you Spitty. And I do think a BOO sign would be a great prop for you. XO

2. My human and her boyfriend both need wills too. It’s stupid neither of them have one.

   1. They should get moving on that.

3. Bear and I did a post about estate planning involving cats. I haven’t finalized my plans because I want a perfect option – I keep thinking one will materialize – but there probably isn’t one. There are a couple good resources in the post too …

   1. Thank you, I will check out your post.

4. That sounds like a good book…..and reading stories like that does remind us that we should have a “plan” when it comes to our pets – things happen and we want to make sure they are taken care of if WE can’t do it any longer. I loved Seinfeld, but not sure that book sounds like it does it any justice!!!!! LOL

   Hugs, Sammy and Mom Pam

   1. Wills and or/trusts are important. This Seinfeld book is boring . XO

5. That is something the Mom thinks about all the time. It is such a hard thing to decide what to do.
   Sorry we haven’t been here in so long. Lots of computer problems.
   That does sound like a good book. And also that is a great review.

   1. Thank you. Yes, you have even more kitties and donkeys to consider.

6. I am reading a great book called Dog Medicine. It’s a memoir about a woman’s journey back from severe depression and how her dog helped her recover.

   Wills are definitely important especially when it comes to making plans for your pets.

   1. That sounds like a wonderful book, pets are so good with emotional support.

7. That sounds like such an interesting read. I actually know a of people who don’t have wills in place yet. Although of course important, I think it’s just such a daunting task to consider.

   We love your “boo” blanket, Snowball. And of course you’re aww worth, always! Purrs!

   1. It is scary, but we never know when an accident could happen. Snowball thanks you 🙂

8. That reminds me that I don’t have a will yet either. I don’t have human or furry dependents to consider though. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

   1. No human dependents here either, but lots of furry ones.

9. Of course Snowball is awwww worthy – so cute!

   I have the cat book added to my “to read” list – thanks for the review!

   1. Thank you. I hope you are feeling better.

10. Now you reminded the mom that she and the dad-guy need a will…and some other legal stuff. She better get on it!

    1. I know, my hubby is the one dragging his feet.

11. Snowball, we would totally vote for you!

    1. Aww….thank you 🙂

12. Our Mom is reading a trio of books containing stories by Raymond Carver and we don’t like them at all. It’s a required reading thing for her and personally, all of us can’t wait until she moves onto something else. Our mom read thirty books this year with three more to go. We liked most even though there weren’t many that had cats in them. Why was that???

    1. That is a lot of reading. Required reading can be boring.

13. Snowball is indeed Awww worthy. Adorable too.

    We have our wills all done, and our funerals done and paid for. It’s something everyone needs to do. We just had a friend die and they did nothing. Now their entire family is trying to come up with the money. We just don’t want to put our families through that. You’re thinking about it and that’s the first step. Some never think of it at all.

    Have a fabulous day. Scritches to Snowball. 🙂

    1. Thank you 🙂 We have a lot and gravestone and insurance, but need to get that will done.

14. Great post. A will and POA were both on my To-Do list for this year. I found a great place online, and found a notary to notorize both documents. You might want to check out http://www.legaldepot.com. No charge unless you subscribe! Has a breakdown of fill-ins by the state your live in. I was so relieved to get this done, and I made sure to put in a provision for my cats, just in case.

    1. Thank you for this link, I will look into it. I am glad you made arrangements for your kitties.

15. we made our wills years ago…..whew! Glad we did!

    1. That was very wise of you.

16. Lawyer For a Cat sounds like a pretty good book!

    1. It is 🙂

17. Yes it is a lot to think about when you are guardians to furbabes.
    When we travel I keep contact info in my wallet stating our sitter and Vet’s name and how to contact our daughter.
    Hugs Cecilia

    1. It is really hard with so many and wanting them to stay together. You are smart to have that information with you. XO

18. snowball….ya look gorgeouz with yur boo blankit……orange iz kinda sorta yur color…. all most…. ☺☺☺♥♥♥

    1. Snowball thanks you 🙂

19. Claire and Momo talked about wills together. It’s not funny, but it has to be done. Purrs

    1. It is a necessity.

20. Our mom and dad made sure that care for all of their cats, and keeping them together, was provided for in their wills.

    1. Your folks are so smart and efficient.

21. Michigan allows people to set up trusts for the care of their pets, but The Hubby and I haven’t done anything about wills or trusts either.

    1. Massachusetts does now too so we need to get moving on it.

22. I’ve been wanting to read Lawyer for A Cat. It looks good. Have a great week!

    1. I highly recommend it.

24. I love to hear about new cat books you’ve found. Since you enjoy non-fiction, I thought I would share one I finished over the weekend called Shadow Divers. It’s about two divers who discovered a WWII German submarine deep in the waters off of New Jersey. It was a fascinating read, even more so when you google to look at more photos and info online!

    1. That does sound good, I will look into it. Thank you 🙂

25. I like the sound of Lawyer for a Cat. Oh dear a few of us without wills, I keep meaning to as such a nuisance for those left behind if no will and in your case a number of cats.

    1. It is a good book and such a good reminder to have a will.

26. I am finally working my way through all of the Harry Potter books! I know, I’m a little late to the game 🙂

    1. You are ahead of me, one of these days I want to read them too. I have seen the 1st 2 movies.

27. I would love to read that book! My hubby works for a big law firm and he has so many hours of free estate planning. It is so hard to think about dying but I know it is inevitable. Only my youngest grandson would properly care for my kitty who loves to drink from the bathroom stink faucet. I am guardian to our youngest son Nick’s cat until he returns from college in May 2017. She already got sick once and that cost a king’s ransom! But I promised him I would care for her. I would not want to see her separated from my Mr. Kitty neither. 🙁
    Thanks for the share today and enjoy your week.

    1. That is nice that they offer free estate planning. We have 13 cats so it is hard to find someone suitable other than my Mom.

28. We enjoyed Lawyer for the Cat!

    1. It is good 🙂

29. That sounds like a good book and a good reminder too!

    1. Thank you, yes, it is important to have a plan in place for our cats.

30. I love that blanket! And the Kids on it make it even more adorable! Hugs.

31. Pierrot had to come by so he could see his sweetheart, Snowball, looking so pretty.

    That book looks really good. I’m off to check it out now.

    1. Snowball is happy to hear from Pierrot. XO

32. The Human started to make a will about 10 years ago but never finished. Phffft. She better get going because she is o-l-d-e-r than dirt.

33. That looks like a good book! It’s certainly important to have will and plans for what should happen if the unthinkable happens. Good reminder!

34. I think you aced boo, Snowball! My peeps are a hunnert and they keep putting the will thing off.

    1. Thank you 🙂 I hope they write a will soon or at least have a place lined up for you just in case.

35. The first book sounds very interesting. I don’t think that I’d like the second book either.
    The Boo! blanket is cute. 🙂

    The kitties are adorable. 🙂 Have a blessed evening.

    1. Thank you it is a good book. I hope you have a blessed evening too.

36. Oh a will is so important when you have a herd. I did mine (my mom did as well) about 10 years ago. Huge relief. Our lawyer thought we were a spot crazy since it was his first pet will to make up that even included the herd mice and turtles at the time. lol But they’re babies too and need protection should anything happen.

38. We made a will eons ago when the unfurs here were furry small…and it did not have provisions for pets…but now our situation is different and the unfurs are grown up and we have three furry ones…so we need to make a revised or maybe even a new will. Hubby has a four year old living will, but not petcretary…

    1. I am glad your hubby made a living will, my husband is really dragging his feet.
