Three Cats Plus Two

Today I made some progress in being friends with Smudge. He still hisses at me, but does not act all scaredy. Kasey is curious about him, but not enough to get into a situation. They are laughing because there are three of us inside, and two more outside: Katy and her husband, Those two come over every day for a snack. Sometimes they come twice a day. I wonder how that will work after Katy gets fixed to not have kittens. That happens in two days.
They went to Their thinking friends' meeting today, and the topic was about emotions. It is interesting, She said, that so many of the friends had thought-making things to say. She had to explain to me about emotions. That is when you are very scared, or when your feelings are hurt, or when you need to hiss at someone. The best is when you are getting snuggles and pets. That is a nice emotion! Or when you just get comfy and need to purr. People are trying to control their emotions, She says, so I will try to control mine. Wish me luck!
Being sad about two things is emotion that She wants to control. About Ms. Rita, and about Mazie moving far away. She says She is trying to see what She has, not what She has lost!
He is putting water in my bowl. I'm going for a drink. Bye.
