Warning!

If you are a cat and you are reading this, I urge you to take some advice from a very wise cat. (ahem) Do NOT go out tonight! Oh, I know it is tempting. There are cute children everywhere, and there are bags of treats, and pumpkins with funny faces. But there are also some dangers. Your tail WILL get stepped on. If you get into some strange food such as chocolate, you will get sick. This part She would not tell you, because She doesn't want to believe it, but there are some people out there who like to hurt things. Remember Katy's first kittens? It turned out they were hurt by some wicked boys, not hit by a car! And cars are dangerous, too. So stay inside. Peek out at the children, if you dare, but keep your little self in the house! That way, if someone out there think that cats can talk to witches (which they can, but witches are not evil.) you won't be a target.
Sorry to be a downer today, but even though She says don't worry, Coffs, I remember what it was like before I lived here. Here, They make pasta for dinner, and give lots of pets. And They absolutely will NOT let us go out! Be sure to check the bags the children bring home, and we can talk about that tomorrow. Doss vadonya.

Her Face is Red!

Here's what happened. She was supposed to go for a meeting a Katy's Boy's school - She THOUGHT. She called Katy's Mom to make sure of the time, and just said I'll see you at the meeting. She got all ready and went to Katy's Boy's school, and everyone there had left. She called Katy's Mom to find out what happened, and it turns out that it was at another school for Katy's GIRL! Oh, She felt so foolish! I guess they won't think She is such a big help after all! Well, not everything was wrong today. She ordered a birthday present for Her little brother, who will be 72 next month. She reordered minutes for her cell phone. She found a catalog that LW's big brother would love, and She told Him She wished She could get him a dozen things out of it. Maybe She will just give LW's Mom the catalog. She may buy a lotto tomorrow, She says. I don't believe that She will. She never does.
So now She is finding out what She missed at the meeting, and trying to get over feeling foolish. She will have a good sandwich for Her supper, and maybe give a taste to Her beloved (ahem) cat. Here comes Kasey for some treats, so I must sign off. Happy Halloween tomorrow.

Kasey's New Friend?

It turns out that Kasey is actually willing to pretend to be friends with Her in order to get those wonderful treats. Kasey spends a lot of time in the inbox, and whenever She comes in the room, Kasey goes and sniffles Her hand. Today she actually rubbed her head on Her hand! I thought I would fall over! I would not be surprised if She thinks Kasey is starting to like Her. If She thinks that, then the joke's on Her, because Kasey does not like anyone. It is the treats she wants and she knows how to get Her to give them. I am sorry that She will be disappointed, because Kasey is not a friend, and will tell Her that when the treats are gone!
Last night, She met with Her beloved Crones, and came home feeling very happy, even though a lot of the Crones were not able to come to the meeting. Here is what She told Him. It is not how many that are there, it is the fact that we all care about each other that is good for my heart. He said He understood that. She did say She wishes Mable's Mom would get better. M'sM fell down again, and landed on her bad knee. It was hard on her bad back, as well.
I think I'll go give Her a snuggle, so She can see who Her real friend is! TaTa.

Doctor Cat

This morning She got up and dressed and left the house without giving me my butter. I was very upset, until He explained that She had to go to the doctor before She ate anything. I was worried. What if She forgets to give me butter when She gets home? I did not need to worry, because the first thing She did was fix coffee-the-drink and Her usual bagel, and I had about six fingers of butter, I was so hungry! There is nothing wrong with Her. I told you before, She needs to get a check-up before She gets Her little pills. The doctor did not give Her a special sticker so She could park Her car closer to the store. Get more exercise, the doc said. The doc's grandma has the same walking problems, she said. Make sure you don't fall, she said to Her. Oh well, She said.
Tonight She goes to meet with Her beloved Crones. They are trying a new place In fact it is the place where She gets Her bagels sometimes. Deena's Mom gives Her bagels from there sometimes, so She will like to have the meeting there.
Here's the thing. She doesn't need to go to the doctor very much, because I give Her lots of snuggles and massages. She says that makes Her feel better than medicine. You're a good doctor, Coffs, She says to me. I may give Her a little massage right now, in fact. Later, gator.

He Thinks She Thinks

Today was the day for the thinking people, and She was very excited with the people and the question. What kind of made Her sad was that He didn't go along this time. He has a class in the afternoon, so He didn't want to take the chance of being late. That is very responsible, She said, but inside She wished He would go. She told me so Herself, when She came home. I don't know when She will stop worrying about His thinking. She does not like worrying. Don't worry, Coffs, She says to me all the time.
Tomorrow morning She is going to Her doc. She feels fine, but the doc makes Her come back to visit before she gives Her refills. Those are for the little pills She takes to help Her be all well. They make Her bones strong, because She falls down. She says She thinks the doc is just lonely.
For Halloween She has lots of M&Ms to give to the kids who come to the door. She will not go to any party on Halloween. because She likes to see the kids in their costumes. Someone told Her to put Kasey and me in costumes. She laughed out loud at that, I am glad to say. I believe Kasey would bite Her on the nose if She tried to put her in a costume!
I hear someone coming in the door. If it is Him, I will get some nice pets! Talk to you tomorrow.

Thunder Cats

There was surely a lot of Thunder today. Some of it sounded so close that I was startled, and went and hid. Pretty soon I thought She might be nervous, so I went and gave her about a dozen snuggles. That gave Her some relief, so She went and made our bagels and butter. That butter tasted especially good. During all the noisy thunder, Kasey stayed in the Inbox on Her desk. Kasey didn't go to her cozy blue blanket because she had gacked up a hairball on it last night. Even after He cleaned it up, Kasey was not interested, until She turned it to a clean place. When Kasey was yowing for treats, She said if you eat too many of these treats, you'll get sick. You see? That very night is when that hairball come up!
But this is not a very pleasant story. I will tell you nicer things, like She got something funny for Smudge's Dad's birthday. Even though it is a long time from now, She is happy She found it. She really loves Smudge's family! Another nice thing is that He will get some help with His schoolwork. There are people that can help you when you have a thinking problem. His is not as bad as it was last summer, but it is still hard for Him to get all the things the teacher says. He deserves help, She says. I'll let you know how it works out.
I'm kind of knackered from all that thunder. I think I'll get a little snooze. See ya.

Blessing Cat

Today She is very glad She went to hear a wonderful talk by a friend who understands the nature of things. That is what She told Him, anyway. She was really inspired, and that is a blessing all by itself. Once I heard Her say that there are blessings all over the place, if you just look and listen. She has always thought Mazie is a blessing, and so is LW and the Alphas. It is lucky that you don't have to ask for blessings - they just show up! And for every one you get, you have two to give away. That's what She says, and I believe Her!
After the talk, She and Mable's Mom went to eat at a place where the food is really good, and kind of old-fashioned. No, She didn't bring anything home for Her beloved cats (ahem) but She said we weren't allowed to have milkshakes anyway, especially chocolate. Now that He eats vegetables, She doesn't bring much food home. Kasey doesn't care, because she just wants treats. The kind Smudge eats. It was Kasey's favorite day when she tasted those treats!
It will be a nice week, because She will go to Her thinking friends, and She likes that. She will tell them about the talk She heard today. Good thinking stuff, She says.
I am kind of tired now, from all this typing. I'll get a quick nap before TV lap-time. Toodle Pip.

Pasta Cats

It is the day that She makes His favorite spaghetti. She even got Him some fake meat to put on it. He has been gone all day at school, learning more about computers, and She has been looking forward to how happy He will be when He knows there is spaghetti.
LW's Family is having a great big party tonight. LW'sMom fixes lots of food and the whole house rocks with this party! LW'sMom probably will have pictures, and She can't wait to see those alphas in their costumes. They used to go to these parties, done up in costumes, but She doesn't want to go too many places anymore. She is afraid She will fall. Maybe when Her eyes get fixed she will be ready for more adventures. She says, let's see, I can't drive at night, I don't go many places - I must be getting old! But then She talks to Her other friends, and they all tell Her just wait till your eyes get fixed. She says being afraid She will fall is worse than falling. I don't quite get that, but She says never mind, Coffs. You will always land on your feet.
In just one more week, Smudge's Mom will be home, and things will seem right to Her. Tonight I will just give Her some snuggles, and we will watch a movie. If it is any good, I'll tell you tomorrow. Addy-ose for now.

Told You So

Yesterday She was having a waiting day, because She couldn't settle on something to do. She had enough of that, and last night She made Her to-do list. So when She woke up, She was ready to cross things off Her list. She has been doing things all day, and now She is ready to rest without feeling sad about not getting anything done! A really odd thing happened last night, too. When the clock said about 2:00, there was a loud pounding on the door. I quickly went into the closet! She wasn't going to answer the door, but He said who is it, and the door said Sheriff's Department. He opened the door carefully and the Sheriff guy said what's going on? He and She both said we were sleeping. The Sheriff guy said we got a call that there was trouble. Is this 7311? Yes, He said, 7311 Skybright. Oh, says the Sheriff guy, we thought it was SkyLIGHT. He told them that was the street behind us, so the got in their car with the blue lights and left. So maybe He didn't go outside Wednesday night. Maybe it was a premonition! We went back to sleep anyway.
She has been thinking about LW's Mom today. She had an important meeting for her new work, and She knew it would go well. She can't wait to hear the details.
Do I hear some rude cat yowing? What's up with Kasey? I'll go see. Bye for now.

Waiting Dy

This is the kind of day it has been - waiting. Waiting to get an idea to do something. Waiting to decide what to eat. Waiting to read the whole paper. Waiting for inspiration. When She has a waiting day like this, it is good for me, because She will pet me while She is thinking about things. One reason She is kind of between ideas is that She is worried about Him again. She woke up early this morning, after She heard Him come in from the outside. I don't know why She didn't ask Him what He was doing outside, but I think She was afraid He was having His thinking problems again, and She didn't want to deal with it. Then She couldn't get back to sleep, which never happens to Her! In the morning He was just fine, and was thinking great I guess She was dreaming about Him going outside! She was so relieved that Her brain went into waiting mode. So I have had a brushing and lots of pets while She decided to wait for some sparkle to make her do things. Kasey does not care if She is worried or not, as long as she gets treats.
I think it will be a busy day tomorrow. That is what always happens when there is a waiting day. She decides not to wait for another day, so She gets an idea for tomorrow before She goes to bed! I think She feels silly for worrying over nothing. She won't be silly like that too many times.
I know exactly what I want to eat - some nice kibbles. TTYL

Cats Music

Today She was listening to music while She was at Her computer, and Kasey came and got me, because the music was all about Cats! It was really pretty music, but it was the words that made me laugh, because they were true about cats we have known. Some of them were a little silly, but I tell you, if you are a cat, you will like these songs. I am not sure that it is a good idea that the songs tell a lot of cat-secrets, but I know She can be trusted, and He shuts his office door when She plays the cat songs. She says He is not a music lover, unless it is cool jazz.
The guy on TV said it was going to storm today, but so far it has just been cloudy. I could feel the storm in the air, so it will be here soon, I think. When it is about to storm, She notices that I am nervous, and I am not really into my daily stalking. I will finish this story, and then I will go and get close to the closet, just in case. It is a relief that He and She are both here, so I don't have to worry about them. It is really good that I heard the Cats songs, because I will think about them while it is storming. A railway cat? I am laughing just thinking about it!
I wish you all a nice evening, and hope you are safe from the storm. If you need me I will be right outside the closet. Just in case. Toodles.

Kasey's Treats

When our cousin Smudge was here with us for a few days, his Mom left some treats for him, which he shared with Kasey. I don't care for treats, just butter. Well, Kasey fell so in love with those treats that She had to get some. When Kasey goes to the Inbox, she always begs for treats - in her nonchalont Kasey way. Mostly, she stares at the package of treats, comes and sniffs Her hand (without touching it), and yows. It is funny to see how She falls for Kasey's semi-rude demanding of treats, but She does.
Today She went to school to help Katy's boy, who was having trouble at school. I don't know if the meeting made everyone happy, because She says we have to wait and see. We don't want Katy's boy to feel bad about going to school, because he is a sweet boy.
This was also a day to get Her hair cut. It was lucky that the haircut lady was there, because she is late on Tuesdays, She says. She thought She would only get an appointment,but She got the haircut today. I can't tell the difference.
When She came home, I was in the mood for some snuggles, so She watched some TV while I had a snooze on her arm. Very cozy! I may go get another snuggle this evening. Oh Reevwar.

Sunshine Cats

There is a certain time of day when there is a square of sunlight on the floor by the table, and I consider it my job to go lie in that square of sunshine. Kasey tries to get me to chase her, but I know my job, and I stay right in that sunshine! Of course, She watches all this and laughs at us. I am glad my hard work makes Her so happy! Hmmph.
This afternoon, He had to go lie down, because He spent some time with His mother, and she wears Him out. His mother does not like her new room, and wants to leave the place where she lives. She says She knows how to make that happen, but She would get arrested. I think
She is joking. Mable'sMom would not come and see Her in jail, and that would make Her sad.
Some of Her friends went to see Her beloved Eddie in NewYork, and She spent a lot of time looking at their pictures. Mable's Mom says She is OCD, but Deena's Mom understands. It is a gift thing.
The thing She has for Her supper tonight is a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. Even though it is not fish, I will make a hungry face, because She has had that before, and it is very good.
I will go and check out the floor for a little piece of sunshine that may be left over. Chow.

Cool Cats

When She went outside today, it was actually cool! It was sunny and nice, but it has been a long time since it was this cool, and She said it perked Her up! She was kind of down to think about Smudge's Mom, because her Dad died and that is always hard. Smudge's Mom was relieved that her Dad does not need to suffer any more, but you know how hard it is to know someone is always there - and then they aren't anymore. It takes some getting used to. She says that after awhile you start to think about nice things, and that will comfort you. And you know what She believes, don't you? That as long as there is a memory, that person has not left you. It helps Her. She hopes it will help S'sM.
Because it was so cool, Mable's Mom brought Mable with her to have brunch with Her. Their friend who goes on boatrides was there, too. Mable was so happy to be along that she was quivering and wagging all over, She told us. Kasey and I don't like riding in the car, and we don't go outside. We like the cool weather,. though, because everyone feels perked up.
Kasey is in the Inbox, and she doesn't like me to be here, so I will go find a lap or something. Enjoy the weather.

Weekend Update

I hear Her say that all the time. It means to catch up on what's going on. Well, here's what's going on in my world. First of all, He went to a different school today, and left very early. He really likes learning things. Since She was up early, too, She and I had bagels and butter, and checked the mail, and then She started uncluttering again. I went and hid.
Smudge's Mom is still in Montana, and it is good medicine for her family. It is not hard to get sick when you are anxious, so She is sending good energy to S'sM. Mable's Mom went to see a doctor about her back, and the doc made her feel better! That is all that it takes to make Her smile, even though She doesn't like docs like that. LW'sMom is far away as well, visiting LW's Grandpa for his birthday. What a nice gift! Cleo's Mom is letting Cleo come and visit us over Thanksgiving, and we are going to give Cleo a good welcome - but that is a long time away. Her Eddie friends have been to see him in person, and She is so glad to get their reports! It's almost like being there Herself, to hear Her friends tell about it and show pictures.
Tonight She is fixing spaghetti for dinner. He says He would like it every week, aand She says sure, why not.
They were invited to two parties tonight, and aren't going to either one. I am glad They will be here with us, so it looks like spaghetti, TV and snuggles. Great plan! Bye now.

She Means It!

What She is doing today is working on cleaning the kitchen. She is not very interested in cleaning, as you know, and so here is what She is doing. She is sorting things out into stacks. She has a stack to give away, a stack to throw away, and a stack to keep. She learned this trick from Her friend Betsy, who now lives far away. Because Betsy has been on Her mind so much, She has gotten busy with the kitchen. She told Him that the pantry shelves are kind of marked up, so She got some stuff called Contact Paper to cover the shelves. You just know He is going to be stuck with that job, don't you? Then She wants the counters cleaned off. How can two people and two cats have so much stuff on the counters? She asked Him. He is very wise, so He just waits until She is through, and then He will put His stuff back on the counters. Then, after awhile, She will run out of steam, and everything will go back the way it was. Meanwhile, I am trying not to laugh.
When Smudge's Mom comes back, She will go have coffee-the-drink with her, and Her mind will be off the kitchen. He says He hopes it is before She decides to paint it!
She has been emailing with Her Eddie friends, who saw his movie last night, and it made Her all teary to hear about it. I guess Eddie still misses his mom, after 40 years. He needs a hug.
Well, I had better go and hide before She puts me to work. Addy-Ose

Treats and Greets

Whenever Kasey hears someone coming in, She gets off her blue blanket and goes to jump on the table. She has trained Them to give her treats when They come in. They think it is kind of cute, but I can't understand why they like to be tricked like that. Lately, Kasey gets on Her desk, where the Inbox is, and looks hungry, so that She will give her treats in there! I have told Her not to give in to Kasey, but She pretends She doesn't understand - and gives Kasey treats! If She doesn't get the treats right away, Kasey goes to where the treats are and sniffles them, and looks at Her as if to say here they are, you doofus! Give me some!. One of these days, Kasey is going to get a tummyache, and then They will feel sorry for her. I know she is my sister, but sometimes I just have to shake my head and wonder why anyone thinks she is charming!
Today She is thinking a lot about Smudge's Mom, who has gone far away to be with her family because her father is sick. I know that will make him feel better, because Smudge's Mom always makes Her feel better.
She told Him that Mazie got her popcorn for Halloweeen. She can't believe that Mazie is so grown up that she emails Her. It does ticke Her pink, though!
I'm going to get some pets now. She gave me a good brushig, and I am soft when She pets me. We both like that. TTYL

Kindness and Friends

Today She met with Her Crone friends, and She says that just being with them makes her feel good! It doesn't matter what is going on in the world, She says. Her friends put everything in its place. I know that I feel like that when I have had a sad thing happen. She and He are my friends, and they help me feel good. Her Crones are nice, She says, because they understand. Deena's Mom is Her friend, too. Some of Her friends are younger than Crones, and they are good for cheer. And Her favorite friend is He. They have been friends for the longest. They were friends, and then they got married. Marriages are best when you marry a friend. That is what She says. I am not married, because I don't have any cat friends except Kasey, and she is not all that friendly. I have people friends, and that is good.
She also gets cheer from Her Eddie Friends. They are all over the place, and they care about each other, which friends do. One of Her Eddie friends is a tooth person, and She says She will get in trouble if this friend finds out She lost another tooth! So shhhhh. Don't tell. She will have to tell LW's next sister, though, because she is losing her teeth, too. But hers will grow back!
Someone is at the door. I think it's Katy-next-door, looking for treats. I'll go check. Seeyalater.

She Hurts

How can I be upset with Her when She heard news that made her so sad. It is bad enough, She says, when old people die. That is bad enough, because you have to learn to do without them. When a younger person dies, though, She hardly knows what to say. That is strange for Her, because saying things is what She does. They have some favorite music friends who moved far away - farther than Mazie - and their son moved with them. The son came to see them a lot when he lived close by, and always helped with big and little jobs. He was not much older than LW's Mom and Dad, but he died in his sleep one night, and no one knew anything was wrong with his heart! It will take Her awhile to get used to this.
I have been tryng to cheer Her up today. When She is sad, She wants to be cheered up. I reminded Her that She has cats to brush, and She has some popcorn treats. She had a lovely day with Deena's Mom yesterday, and She has a program She likes to watch tonight She has talked to Cleo's Mom, and checked with all her computer friends, so I will bet you a bunch of kibbles that She will feel better tomorrow. Rest in Peace, Betsy's Boy.

Oh, No! She Didn't!

Please note that I am officially pouting. She went off to Deena's house without us, but She thought we might be scared of Deena. We wouldn't, but I can understand that She might think so. What I cannot take so easily is that She had salmon for Her lunch at Deena's! Of course, you would think She would bring some home to her beloved cats -- but NO! She didn't! To tell the truth, She said, She was having such a nice time with Deena's Mom that She forgot. All I can say is Hmmph. She just loves Deena's Mom and that is fine, but She needs to remember that we are starving over here! Only kibbles and butter and treats. Well - maybe not starving, but..........It was salmon, after all.
Smudge's Mom has gone far away - farther than Mazie even, to help her family. I know She will be lonesome for her. It means that Smudge's Mom will miss lunch with the Crones, and they are trying a new place. She really wanted S'sM's opinion. But She said you've gotta help when the spirit says help. S'sM knows that, and so does She. In fact She feels so sorry about S'sM's emergencies that I might just forgive her for the salmon thing.
All this talk about salmon has made me hungry. I will settle for kibbles now. toodles.

Cat Hides

I guess She thinks She is funny. When She can't find us, She says we are making cat hides. I don't get it. She says She was once in a big park in Montana, and there were signs posted every mile or so. They said to watch out for the buffalo. Well, She didn't see any buffalo on the whole ride, so She said that's where they get the saying buffalo hides. Sometimes I just laugh at Her because She is laughing, even if I don't get the joke. That's OK, Coffster, She says. It is laughing we're after, not the jokes.
One reason She is so happy today is that He and Mable's Boy got his mother moved into a better room in the place where she lives. He says His mother is so confused that she doesn't know the difference, but she thinks it means that He is moving in to her old apartment. I can tell you She laughed out loud at that idea.
Some of Her friends have gone to see Eddie's movie, and some are going next week. It is not coming to where we live, but She is glad Her friends can see it. He will be there in person, She says.
Well, I am going to hide again. Maybe She will skip the joke this time. Bon joor.

Cat-Fish

When Her beloved Mazie used to come over, before she moved so far away, She used to give Mazie fish sticks, french fries and ketchup. That was her favorite thing for lunch. When She went to the store, She automatically got fish sticks, french fries and ketchup! Habits are hard to break, She said. So, tonight She is fixing the fish sticks, and since He only eats vegetables, She will have them all to Herself, and She will dedicate the dinner to Mazie. I will surely remind Her who else likes fish (ahem) and hope She is in the mood to share.
Things are moving quickly about getting His mother in a new room. They just have to move her things, and He will see if Mable's boy will help Him with that. She is very pleased that His Mother is finally moving, becaue it will save some money, and you know how She is about THAT.
Another thing that is making Her happy is that She will be seeing Deena's Mom this weekend! She told me She likes that even better than I like fish, and that is quite a lot. They have a lot in common, She says, and that means they have known each other a long time, and that they think alike. Deena's Mom makes Her feel cheerful!
I will go and get a good place to look at Her fish and get big, hungry eyes. That always works. TTYL

Thursday Cats

Around here, we like Thursday, because He comes home earlier and has a chance to get some rest. He gets tired very easily, and She thinks it may be because He is sad about His school. She is sorry someone told Him He needed to go back to work. After He was retired almost ten years, His drawing business has changed. That's why He needed to go back to school. His mother was costing a lot of money. Well, She is the one that fusses about money, and She says there is enough. She will keep trying to convince him. Kasey and I wish Her luck. Actually, Kasey doesn't care, as long as there are kibbles and treats. I am more likely to worry.
Anyway, as long as there are bargains, She will see that Her Alphas and Mazie and Cleo's girls get happy surprises. She just loves bargains and coupons and deals. She says that saves a lot of money. Besides, now that He only eats vegetables, the groceries are not so much money! That tickles Her pink. Don't think so much about money, Coffster, She says to me. We will always have enough! I promise. That makes me feel better. Besides, She had fun with her Eddie people today, and all Her computer friends.
Sorry to leave you, but I need a bite to eat right now. A-doo.

Far and Near Friends

Today She talked to a good Crone-friend who has moved far, far away - Farther even than Mazie. She calls this friend Betsy. I heard Her on the phone. She was sad when Betsy moved away, but She knows that everything changes. She never gets used to it, but She knows it. She was so very glad to find out that Her friend had a lot of things fixed in her heart. Really in her heart, where the things were stopped up! It sounded very scary to Her, but since Her friend is much better now, She is glad the docs found where the stopping-up was and fixed it.
Then, later, She talked to Mable's Mom, who lives very close. She wanted to have dinner with Mable's Mom, but decided She should stay home and give hugs to Him when He comes home from His school. He is very sad about the way things are going at His school, and She thinks hugs help when you are sad. She told me I cheered Her up with snuggles, so She knows I understand.
She has something very neat for Her nearest friend, Katy's Girl. She can't wait until Christmas to see if she will like it! Katy and her family live right next door, you know. She hopes they don't move away, too. I told Her not to think about it.
Are you hungry? I am very hungry, so I'll be going now, to eat some delicious kibbles. Tata.

Kasey Abides

Yes, Kasey has certainly taken over that Inbox. The trouble is, I like it, too, and I have to wait until Kasey goes to her soft, blue blanket, and then I squeeze in there. Luckily, I can curl up and hardly hang out of it at all. When one of us is in there, She laughs at us. If He starts to open a bag of treats, though, Kasey gets to the table in about three jumps!
He has had some trouble with His school work. He was very sad that He didn't pass a test, and was going to drop that class. His teacher said He just needs some tutoring, and that He should not give up. It bothers Her, because She wants Him to learn how to be retired so they can go places and do things. Can you believe that some people never learn how to be relaxed? I am very good at relaxing, and so is Kasey. It is easy for Her to relax, so She thinks He is missing something. Poor Him.
Another bunch of catalogs came today, so She is in there, turning pages and going hmmmm. She got a very nice book about cats for LW. She got books for each of the Alphas. She likes to have a theme. I guess this time it is books. Kasey says that She better get treats for Her cat. Her Cat, she said! Not Her catS. I think I'll go chase Kasey for that! Farewell.

Get Up and Go

That was what Her day was like! She likes it when She can take care of lots of little things. Makes Her feel as if She has done a lot, instead of a little. In fact, She even went to the store before lunch! It was kind of like a game, looking for things They could eat together, now that He only eats vegetables. Tomorrow, She is making soup with all vegetables, but She will put some meat in it when it is in Her bowl.
Last night They had to choose what to watch on TV. There was a show that had a guy She likes from another show. I don't care what they call him, She said. He will always be Mick St. John to ME. And He just shook His head. Not another Eddie, He said. Oh, no, She said. I just like this guy. I LOVE Eddie! He had to laugh.
Also today, She got a box in the mail. This is the last of Her Christmas shopping, She said. He said good luck with that, because a lot more catalogs came today.
His mother is back in the place where she lives. I wonder why She said drat.
Kasey wants some treats, so I have to go and bother her. (snerk). They think I am the sweet one.

Eddie-Puss-Wrecks

While Kasey was in the Inbox, I jumped up and got a good brushing! Kasey said you had better not have that brush anywhere near me, or I will make a mean face and yow! Still I believe she was jealous, because she stared at Her while She was brushing me. It was all I could do not to laugh!
But really, I want to tell you about the movie we watched today. It was called The Cat's Meow, and Her darling Eddie was in it. He has already seen it a few times, so He went to study His work. But She loved it. Here's the thing - there were no cats in it! Not one single cat. They could have called it A Boatride. She gets all fuzzy when that Eddie is in the picture, so She gave me pets without even paying attention!
Last night They watched a different movie. It was about a man who got to know his neighbors, and he liked them better than his own children. It make Her cry, because the ending was kind of sad. It has been a big weekend for movies so far! At least we had some popcorn. I mainly sleep through the movies, so I am well-rested and ready to stalk things and chase Kasey, whenever she gets out of the Inbox! SLFN (So long for now.)

Cat -Alogs

This is a hard time of year for Her. Today, lots of catalogs came with lots of pictures of things She would like to get for people. Trouble is, She already has things for just about everyone! When She sees something that LW's Mom or Smudge's Mom or the Alphas or Mazie would like, She has to decide. should I get that now and save it for some other time? Or should I get it and give it to them for this year, or............It is really funny to watch Her! He just shakes His head. These are not big things. She would rather give a few small things. Kasey has already told Her not to wait even one more day to get her some treats! Nevermind this Christmas business!
She is making spaghetti for Their supper tonight. While He was at His school, she cooked some meat for Herself, so She would have some for the sauce tonight. It is nice, She says, that He wants spaghetti, with fake meat in it. Before He started eating only vegetables, He didn't ever eat pasta. That is what spaghetti really is, you know. Now, He asked Her to fix it once a week. She is OK with that. She has not read His vegetable book, but if it makes Him happy, She says, let Him make tomato and onion sandwiches on pumpernickle bread.
I'm going to get into the inbox now, because Kasey isn't here. She is sleeping on the clean laundry. TTYL

Our Birthday

Here it is, October already, and Kasey and I have been with Them for two years now! There is something about October that feels kind of exciting to us. I don't know what it is, and neither does She. Kasey doesn't care. It might be that Halloween comes in October. That is a tricky time for cats, you know. We are lucky that we are not black cats! Also, we are indoor cats, so no witches can get us! I am worried about Katy-next-door, though. She is not black, but she is dark gray, and someone might think she is a witch's cat! I will ask Her to tell Katy to stay in on Halloween.
He went to see His mother today. His mother is still in the hospital, but she might go back to the place where she lives tomorrow. I'll let you know. He told them to move her to a smaller room while she was in the hospital. He finally believed Her when She said his mother doesn't know where she is, anyway. Might as well save the money. She is very particular about money. He just wants His mom to be happy. What She says is that would be a miracle! I am not sure about it, because I have never seen His mother. Lucky you, She says.
I believe I will go give Her some snuggles now. Bye, now.

She Forgets

Sometimes, when She is very excited about something, She forgets to leave the computer on when She goes out. That way, I can't write my story! Here's what She was so excited about yesterday: It was Mable'sMom's birthday, and they were going out for dinner with some of their other friends. After that, they were going to Crones, so for Her, it was a really good day. She told Him She had pizza, and I know She brought some home. He can't eat it because of the cheese, but it does have a lot of vegetables. Mable'sMom made her own dessert, which was a magnificent pie, made of chocolate and raspberries! Ooooh, She really liked that! When She got home, it was almost time for a TV show She likes, so there you are. No story.
Today, I tried to get into the inbox nest to see how it felt. It really is nice and soft, and I did fit into it, but my fur stuck out of the little holes on the sides. When Kasey found out, she came and stood there until I got out. She didn't hiss or yow, she just looked at me. Her look said get out of my inbox, you doofus! I pretended I wanted to get out anyway, and went and had a snack.
In fact, that sounds good for right now! Toodle pip (Or poodle tip. Get it?)
