I needed a theme for this year’s Valentine, so I decided to turn to my blog’s search term stats for inspiration. I reviewed the list carefully and narrowed it down to these three:
so many flies all of a sudden how decomposed would marilyn monroe be cat happy valentines day
I decided to go with the cat one. You’re welcome.
The Unlikely Explanations cats would like to wish you a grudgingly happy Valentine's Day
Want to do something special for your cats on Valentine’s Day? Serve them a lovely homemade chicken and gravy dinner and give them a nice gift, like a CatSofa or a Squeaker 3000 Robotic Toy Mouse.

/ February 14, 2012You really get the oddest search terms, Laura! How do you do it?!

/ February 14, 2012My cat decided to sit on my chest in bed whilst I read this on my phone, she was trying to knock it out of my hand. She’s never liked other cats but I didn’t realise it extended to me reading about them
Laura
/ February 14, 2012If she misses out on getting a special dinner and gift because she prevented you from reading the suggestions at the very end of the post, then she has only herself to blame.

/ February 14, 2012Hahaha! People can be so imaginative with words.
I think you chose a good one.

/ February 14, 2012Kitties! I love the calico! Don’t tell the other cat I said that.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Laura
/ February 14, 2012The calico is Holly, and the tabby is Thunder. Last year’s Valentine featured a picture of Thunder biting Holly’s ear. My cats don’t exactly go for the traditional Valentine’s Day poses.

/ February 14, 2012(Don’t tell them they are cute – it only goes to their heads…) Happy Bloggentines Day to all the household!
Nora Blithe
/ February 14, 2012I’m pretty thrilled that you went with the cats over your other options. Whew! Besides, I like cats. My own 3 gave me a hairball for Valentines! They’re thoughtful like that.
Laura
/ February 14, 2012My cats don’t really do anything special for me on Valentine’s day, but they show their love by presenting me with hairballs throughout the year.
Holly Folly
/ February 14, 2012I dunno you guys, I think a zombie Marilyn Monroe holding a heart would be awesome. The cats are adorable though, so there’s that.
Laura
/ February 14, 2012Do you mean a heart shape or an actual human heart?
Binky
/ February 14, 2012Cats would be a lot more into Valentine’s Day if those hearts contained tuna instead of chocolate.
nursemyra
/ February 15, 2012Well aren’t they a handsome pair
Laura
/ February 15, 2012Yes. Yes they are.
Kitten Thunder's Girl
/ February 15, 2012Aw, they loves each other. In a “two fur coats are better than one” sort of way. I, too, think you made the right choice but you should hold on to Marilyn for future blogginess.
Laura
/ February 18, 2012They do. When they’re not squabbling with each other, that is.
spilledinkguy
/ February 15, 2012I always have good intentions, but who can resist from eating the Squeaker 3000 Robotic Toy Mouse and playing with the Chicken and Gravy dinner before they ever make it to the cats?!
Wait… that might have come out wrong.
:)
Laura
/ February 18, 2012See, this is why you should always read the instruction manual. It says right there on page 32 that you’re not supposed to eat the Squeaker 3000.
spilledinkguy
/ February 18, 2012Oops…
I ate page 32 as well…
Laura
/ February 18, 2012Printing the manual on chocolate was probably a mistake.
lisa@notesfromafrica
/ February 15, 2012Aah sweet! I hope the two Unlikely Explanations cats had a good Valentine’s Day. Did you give them a special treat?
Laura
/ February 18, 2012They got to watch me eat some chocolate. What could be more fun than that?
nancyfrancis
/ February 17, 2012The are friggen cute, in a very begrudging fashions
Laura
/ February 18, 2012I passed your compliment along, and they said “Hey! We’re trying to sleep here!”. They’re very gracious.
Whitney Soup
/ February 17, 2012should have gone with so many flies all of a sudden – you made a big mistake ;)
Laura
/ February 18, 2012I probably could have combined the flies with Marilyn, now that I think about it.
alonewithcats
/ February 19, 2012I kind of like cats. I’m not sure whether I’ve mentioned it before.
Laura
/ February 19, 2012Huh. You learn something new every day.
