Hello! I actually have a semi-serious message today (at least for RER). But first let’s talk food stuff. I hit up the store today for Bunny Cake supplies…
My mom requested white cake. I don’t know why, but she loves it. I wanted Funfetti.
and found a new-to-me dressing to try.
I already love this line of salad dressings. But I’m not a usually a big fan of Blue Cheese dressing. However, I’ll make an exception for something that is on sale and 35 calories (so I can eat extra bunny cake).
I walked to the store because I’m green like that.
I wore stars and stripes because I’m patriotic and weird like that too.
(Similar Stars tee and stripes hoodie.)
Giveaway Very Close to My Heart
Okay. So I mentioned a while back that I was going through some personal things. It is definitely a very complicated situation and I’ve been struggling with a lot of life decisions lately.
After a lot of thought, I’m going to be moving.
Remember how I recently got all new appliances? And have been doing a ton of Spring cleaning… Well, that was to get ready to move.
And while I’m feeling positive about this new chapter of my life, it’s presented a lot of problems. One of the biggest problems is that I can’t bring my cat / only friend, Vegas with me.
I was going to give him to my mom to watch, but after a few sleepovers we’ve come to realize he does NOT get along with my mom’s new cat. (He does get along with the dogs since he grew up with them.)
So, with a very very heavy heart I’m giving my cat away.
And since he gets so much love on RER I thought I’d put it out here. If you want to be entered to win Vegas or know a good home for him please leave a comment below.
About Vegas:
- He’s 7 years old.
- He doesn’t like other cats, but will tolerate some of them.
- He is afraid of dogs he doesn’t know, but does get along with my fam’s two dogs (and they’re very big).
- He eats a Purina Urinary Tract Cat Food – that’s pretty cheap.
- I would like it to be able to Facetime or Tango with him once a week.
And if you’ve been reading the blog for any length of time you might know he likes to cuddle every now and then. It’s really the sweetest thing.
I will give his new family his feeder and carrier.
He is really good <3
and entertaining
And a good sport…
Mmmmwuah!!
I know this post has too many pictures, but I just can’t stop.
Losing Lindy says
I am assuming this is an April Fool’s joke…I can’t imagine you not having him,
If it isn’t a joke, I have two already but would take him.
Debbie says
I really would take Vegas. Figure he is a semi celebrity and I could cash in. Your loss my gain. 😉
runeatrepeat says
Ha! I’ll tell him 🙂
Sue says
Happy April’s Fools!
Karinna says

Cori @ She's Going the Distance says
saddest april fools joke ever. at least it better be! I don’t even like cats but yours is too freaking adorable!
Nicole says
Happy April Fools! If you WERE giving up Vegas, I’d ask for permission to rename him to “Dum Dum”….nothing to do with Vegas, I just want a cat named, “Dum Dum”.
Sara says
April Fools, Right? Right?!?!
jillian says

Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says

Nina says
April Fools!!!
Marie says
Whew! So glad it was just April Fool’s. LOL
Shannon in Tustin says
April Fools!!! The day you can disregard nearly everything you read online. 😉
Danielle says
Totally fell for this until I read that you wanted weekly skype sessions… hahaha. This would have been SO sad if it was real.
Shannon says
I’m betting April Fool’s too about giving away Vegas. Now the moving part might be true?
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job says
This is going to be really funny if it’s not an April Fools prank and no one actually comments about taking the cat.
HeatherJ says
u had me for a minute! lol
Gretchen | Gretchruns says
Dang, I have a dog, guess I’m out of the running! You come up with the best posts for April Fool’s! Good one 🙂
kristin | W [H] A T C H says

Allie @ Running on Peanut Butter says
I got so sad until I realized it was April Fool’s Day. I would so cry if I never saw Vegas again!
Mary says
yup. definitely fell for it. i was trying to think of who could take him since i already have a cat hahaha
Jessica says
you had me for a second there! April Fools- Vegas is packing his bags too! (and if you are serious, I’ll totally take him ;))
Serenity says
No way I’m believing that. I still remember thee tattoo prank…
Kersten says
Oh you totally got me too! Didn’t remember that it’s April 1st… It really broke my heart to read it and hope that’s a joke!
Sherilyn says
I hope this is an April Fools joke. If it isn’t, I’m really sad for you. I can tell how much you love Vegas and would be heartbroken to give him away. I would take him but I live in Massachusetts and have an orange kitty who also does not like other cats!
I do hope the other part is true though!!
Amber says
I was in tears…..you got me! FYI, Vegas is welcome in my home anytime!
Suzanne says
April Fools! White cake doesn’t really exist!!
V says
Yes, white cake does exist. Google it!
angela@LoveTheRunning says
Nice April Fools Monican. Now I’m wondering if any of it is true, are you actually moving?? Is Vegas really 7?? Does he actually like to cuddle or do you hold him there until he gives up on life?? Does he really hate all dogs? I’m sure he’d love my dog Stormy 🙂
Deb says
You totally got me! I was crying … for real!
I thought it was real until I read the other comments.
So glad others out there aren’t as gullible as me!
But…are you REALLY moving (and taking Vegas, right)?
TELL!
Sarah says
This is the saddest joke ever =(((
Danielle says
ha april fools
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
I totally fell for it! I was feeling so bad you had to give your cat away! You got me! 🙂
Maddie @ Dixie Runs says
Okay I was literally crying reading this until got to the comments and realized I am the most gullible person in the world…..
Asma says
Omg I’m gullible too. Fail. I’m glad for her cat that today is April 1 because that would be miserable.
Mallory says
SO glad this is an April Fool’s prank!
Chelsea says
I’m such a freaking sucker! I was almost in tears over this! Happy April Fools!
Jenn @ Fairest Run of All says
Haha, whew! I have never been happier that it’s April 1. 🙂
Kim says
Oh, that makes me so sad. I would take him in a heartbeat if I didn’t already have 3 cats that I had to beg the hubs for. I hope you find him a wonderful home and best of luck to you in your move!
sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
This one is good…but your tattoo post got me better!=) Happy April Fool’s!
Elena says
the sriracha one got me – I was all like “that’s the best way to lose weight – I’m going to try it!”
Elena says
I call April Fools on the cat but wonder if you really ARE moving?
Heather says
That’s what I was thinking!?!
Cocomama says
She IS moving. She wrote that in her post about the number of Manatees in Florida!
Cocomama says
Got me too! I was already envisioning the new owner herding Vegas over to the computer for his weekly Facetime session… Would he cooperate? Would he see the screen? Would he interact? haha
Nikki says
I love your creativity with that joke!
emily says
totally April Fools!!
sara says
if this is an april fools joke, not nice, i actually started crying 🙁 but if it’s not, i’m sure you will find a really good home for him. i would LOVE to have him. he’s a sweet and fun kitty.
Megan says
April Fools!!
Erica { EricaDHouse.com } says
omg why can’t you take your cat?! I’d become homeless before I ever had to give up mine.
Deb says
IK,R! Me too!
Melody says
ME TOO! My cat is like my child. I would never ever give her away.
