It sure was nice of The Boy (@joshharoldson) and The Pretty One (@stasiaharoldson) to get me a cupcake to celebrate how cute I am. Side Note: Turns out it was also The Boy's birthday that day! I'm surprised The Pretty One didn't do anything for him though. She's usually way more thoughtful than that.

Your cat's so cute(:

Thanks! I will tell the boy that you said that! Go State!

Your blog is my life😍

Hey, thanks! That means a lot! Sometimes I think that there should be more to life than chicken, sleeping and looking cute, so once in a while it's nice to get a reminder that I'm doing alright.

xoxo,

Basil

So the Boy finally helped me get set up on Instagram.

After looking around a bit, it seems like the way to get the most likes is to take pictures of yourself in the bathroom so get ready for some awesome selfies from the litter box.

To all the kittens out there, follow me and I will might follow you back!

Follow Basil's Clubhouse on Instagram.

Hallo-Birthday-Ween is the best.  2 catnip fish, 3 catnip teabags, a catnip pumpkin, a catnip carrot, a bag of fuzzy balls dipped in catnip, a crinkle ball, a squeaky bird AND a jitter-mouse, plus 2 bags of chicken.

This is the greatest day of my life. Now excuse me while I go find a corner to throw up in.

Happy 2nd birthday to me.

Summer Road Trip Memories

After our little run-in at the truck stop, most of the truckers let us go after a few miles once they saw how adorable I was.

But not ole' Smokey and the School Bus. They followed us all the way through Mississippi, Alabama and most of Georgia.

We thought we'd finally lost him somewhere around Memphis, so the Boy and I stopped at the local chicken shack for lunch where I met a nice little kitten who was looking for a ride out of town.

But of course, just as I was about the see if The Boy wouldn't mind taking on an extra passenger, our old friend showed up in the rear-view mirror.

We weren't out of the woods yet.

I'm so mad about the Iowa State football game its going to take a nap and something else the size of Texas before I can recover.

Summer Road Trip Memories

In hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have called that trucker’s dog “Fatso Bus Stop”, but the look on the Boy’s face when basically the entire cast of “Smokey and the Bandit” started chasing after us was priceless.

What time is it? 3:30? In the afternoon? The pretty one is going to kill me!

I forgot to set our fantasy lineup for Eight Men in the Litter Box and I still have Blaine Gabbert as our QB.

Oh well, go Jaguars. Rawr Meow.

I think its the blue...no the red...wait...maybe the yellow one? Whatever, I'm just going to bite this green wire and hope the car still starts.

Wish me luck.

A little privacy please? The faucet and I are having a moment.

[acatnamedbasil]

the pretty one and i are co-managing a fantasy football team this year called "eight men in the litter box".

we're mostly on the same page, but she didn't like my plan to only pick players on cat-themed teams.

how am i supposed to know the jaguars are terrible?

[acatnamedbasil]

today i celebrated not going to work...ever.

happy labor day!

Life is all about finding the good light.

Escape Log Day 438:

Dear diary, today after months of planning I snuck out the door while the Boy was taking out the trash.

As I ran towards freedom, my escape was all but assured until I encountered a doormat shaped like a watermelon. Unfortunately, while contemplating whether or not to sit on the mat I allowed myself to be captured.

And so my struggle continues.
