I tried… (animal’s love, food and giveaway winner)


Some of you many know I have a cute little kitty named Obbie! He is the most sweetest and playful cat you will ever meet. Unlike other cats, Obbie likes people and he is very obedient (well when he is not sleepy or mad). I prefer cats to dog because I hate to be licked and I don’t like stepping on pee. Yes I know dogs can be train but that’s the point, cats don’t need training they just go in the sand box as if they were born with the instinct. I'm not a dog hater, I'm just not yet prepared to the bigger responsibility that entails. By the way, believe it or not, my cat loves water! He watches me while I shower and the second I’m out he jumps right in the tub to play with the water. Weird but very funny! He waits for me at the door whenever I’m out and he doesn’t go to bed until I’m in the bed too.

He looks so cute sleeping!

I love him so much and I wouldn't even dare to imagine if something happens to him. Which brings me to the subject of supporting animal rights. Some people think PETA take it to a ridiculous level but I think they’re doing it to make an impact and in my opinion they’re getting the attention. ASPCA are subtle but equally effective. I send a monthly donation to them.

You can count on me to be against animal cruelty and not wear fur but I CAN’T BE VEGAN! I do like vegetables and I seriously tried once but it was too hard since my boyfriend is a meat lover and he always picks delicious steaks at restaurants (we eat out a lot since I suck at cooking and he loves avoiding to do the dishes lol). And I must confess that I love meat just as much! Look at this delicious garlic steak:

No meal here is complete without a plate of rice and beans. Literally I eat rice and beans like 5 to 6 times a week and I never get tired! Almost everyone here on the island was raised this way. In conclusion, I’m sorry to disappoint my Vegan readers and animal supporters colleagues but I’m a meat girl…

Yum Rice and beans. I need to find a step by step recipe that will give me a good pot of rice and beans. I try and it never comes out well. My mom says, oh dear, I can't believe you didn't take my PR genes at all. LOL

Have a great week!

Aww, I have a cat too. She likes going in the shower after I'm done, and drinking from the faucet. She meows at us every morning for water at our bathroom sink. And she plays fetch with hair ties. Yes, our cat is weird too.

I could never be a vegetarian. Ever.

When we went to PR we fell in love with rice and beans. Haven't been able to find a good recipe though. We ate at this place called Edith's Cafe - I died and went to heaven at her shrimp stuffed plantains. People - when you are traveling ask the bellboys where they go to eat during their breaks. The places they tell you at the front desk are too touristy and expensive!

I'm not really a cat person. However, your cat is one of the cutest cats I've ever seen!!!

Hey, Obbie looks so cute!!
I'm a meat lover too. I once tried going veggie and couldnt bear for more than two days..lol!!

LovelyBee said...

cats are cute but I am allergic to them and I'm afraid of dogs;
I tried to be a vegan for 2 years but then meat called me and said that I need to hit him up ASAP!

Steph said...

Obbie is adorable! You should share some of those pics of him for Favorite Kitty Pic Friday each week - I'd love to see more of that cute face :)
Rice and beans can be awesome - except for the fact that I can never get it to come out just right... :(

Jessica said...

Beautiful cat! I agree on the cat front. I love dogs, but cats are way easier, and far more entertaining.

I'll be following along now!

Oh my goodness...

Is there a little kitty more adorable than Obbie? Methinks not.

I'm bringing home my new Shih Tzu puppy in a few weeks and feel stupidly, ridiculously excited.

My boyfriend and I have been together for seven years - and engaged since November - so we are hopefully ready for the responsibility that comes with raising and caring for a dog.

Here's to hoping that my little puppy and I will bond as lovingly as you and Obbie have!

P.S: Might you be able to share your recipe for the rice and beans dish? They look so yummy, I almost want to lick my Macbook screen... ;0)
