Happy New Year Cats

I could have said puzzled cats, because I wrote my story yesterday, and it didn't get on my list of stories!It is too late to help that now, so I will just go on and tell about today. This is New Year's Eve, and it is also Cleo's Girl's birthday. He and She are going to have dinner with Cleo's Girl and her family. That is Their family, too, and they are going to a place where He can get His vegetables. Then They will come home and play with us until the clock says midnight, and then
They will have something nice to drink and give each other a smooch. (snerk)
They don't go out to other parties, because They don't like to be around people who drink other stuff. She says there is stuff that makes your thinking all fuzzy, and She says they don't drive well like that.
Here's something that has Her singing - In just three weeks, She and Smudge's Mom will be far away, and they will see Her beloved Eddie. Smudge and his sibs and Kasey and I will be waiting waiting waiting for them to come back. She will be all happy when that happens, so I will be happy too. Kasey won't care.
For now, I will stop puzzling about what happened to yesterday's story, and wish you all a Happy New Year. Chow.

Chilled Cats

It is very cold and damp today. I can tell from when She opened the door. I got into a comfy place and yowed for Her to stay in here! Do you know what He found? Katy's husband was hiding in our bushes, to stay out of the rain. He was waiting for his food. Then He told Her that He believes that we now have 3 cats. Kasey says he had better not try to bring his loud noise and bushy tail in here! I reminded her that Katy's husband has claws, but she just said hmph and went back to sleep. She has already made a mean face at K'sH, and he does not try to come in anymore.
But Katy's Mom did come over, and brought Her some good things to eat. They were all for Her, because He can't eat meat. It makes Her feel very nice to have some delicious food that She doesn't have to fix for Herself.
We spent a lot of time today looking at pictures. Her Opera Girl has some She looked at for a long time, and Her Michigan Girl had family pictures to show. LW's Mom showed pictures of the new room Santa made for LW and her sibs. Did you know She was worried about LW because of her little eyes? The eyes didn't look right to Her, but She didn't want to upset LW's Mom and Dad, so She didn't talk about it. Turns out LW needs glasses, like She has! That's good news after all that LW has been through.
Going to find a soft place to warm up. Poodle Tip. (Get it?)

Peculiar Cats

Do you remember when I told you about my hiding place in the closet? Well, today I decided not to go in there! When She didn't see me in the closet, She looked all over, and that is when She spotted Kasey sleeping in some clothes that He had left on the bedroom chair! What's gotten into you two, She said. Maybe it's the catnip in the Christmas toys. Maybe it's something in the air. Maybe - let's face it - we are just peculiar cats. We love Him and Her very much, but we don't want them to figure out everything about us. They might get a funny idea about who's the boss around here. I gave that advice to our cousin, Smudge, and he seems to be getting the upper paw over there. And our New York cousins, Nick and Lion have a handle on things. They have taught their Opera Girl how to take magnificent pictures, and today She told Him She wants to go to New York next Christmas. Kasey and I will see that doesn't happen, so don't worry.
We heard that our music guy got knocked down while walking his d-o-g. She knows what it is to fall down, and She felt very bad about that. Kasey said that's what he gets for having a d-o-g, but She told Kasey that wasn't very nice. Kasey didn't care.
Now that She doesn't expect it, I am going into the closet for a nap. Cheery-bye.

Literary Cats in Trouble

My cousin Smudge got into trouble about his stories, and I am in trouble today, too. Let me tell you about it. One thing She likes to do is work puzzles, so She has the puzzle books and some pencils by Her favorite chair. The pencils - there are a lot of them - She keeps in a cup, so they don't roll off the table. (Ahem). You see, She thought they just rolled off by themselves. She didn't realize that somecat was pushing them. Actually, I think She is on to me now. She found pencils pulled out of the cup, and some of them had their erasers chewed off. Here's the thing. I just can't help it. Yes, I am the one who did it, and after I tried to tell Her it was Kasey, She looked right in my eyes and said Coffee, I don't believe you. There was nothing to do but admit it. Smudge confessed at his house right away, but he is young yet. Not me. I blamed Her for leaving temptations where I could get them so easily.
Luckily, She went to have coffee-the-drink with Mable's Mom, and when She came home She was not mad anymore. She says She will put Her pencils in a box now. That proves it was at least partly Her fault. Right?
Did you hear that? He just put new water in my bowl. I'm going to have a big drink. TaTa for now.

Twitter Cat

I can't keep frome laughing! Today, while She was eating leftover party food, I came in and went on Her Twitter (snerk). It gave me a chance for a shout-out to all my cousins, all over the palce! Some of them even Twittered me back. Kasey said it would never work, but I did it, and I'm glad!
Lately, I have been very comfy in the closet in Their room. There is a box in there, and He has put a cozy blanket on it, and it makes a little nook. He made it when our cousins have come over, and I wanted a place to hide until I felt safe. I can't really remember, but something make me very scared before They came to get me, and some of that scared has stayed with me all this time. I don't need to be scared here, but I love my little closet place just the same.
Since I have found out that my cousin Smudge can use the computer, and now I know that cats where Her Opera Girl lives can write notes for me, I may go on Twitter again sometime. I'll have to do some tweaking to my training program so that She knows to leave things hooked up.
Do you know what She has now? Something called sammon moose, and it smells divine! I must go and make a hungry face, so She gives me some! Toodle Pip

Christmas Cats

Excuse me if I seem a little annoyed on this lovely day, but I was looking so forward to telling you about the Christmas Eve/Birthday events, and then She goes off and turns off the computer, so I couldn't write my story. Today I sat on the mousepad, so She couldn't shut off, and so I can fill in some details. Both of them were groaning when they got home, following the 7 Fishes Dinner and the birthday party. Even if He couldn't eat the fishes, Their family had a lot of food that he could (and DID) eat. They were loaded down with presents when They got home, and just collapsed. They kept saying to each other wasn't that a wonderful time?
Even though They had a great time Christmas Eve/Birthday, They knew They would enjoy dinner with LW's family today. LW's Mom is an amazing cook, and she made sure that He got plenty of things he was allowed to eat. He can't stop talking about it, and She is so delighted for Him, not just for the good things today, but the good things LW's Mom sent home with Him. You should have heard Him! You would have thought He won the Lotto!
So Christmas is over, and we just have one or two things to still give out. Deena's Mom and Katy's Mom, and then we can start thinking about the next thing. That will be Cleo's Girl's birthday, and then a new year. I feel much better now. I love to write my stories. Here's what She said: Fleas novvy dodd.

MovieCats

This was an extremely pleasant day. because we all had our chores to do, and then we watched some movies. These were movies that were on TV, and He said they were really old movies. After awhile, She watched movies, too. She talked on the phone some, but She did not go away in the car. She was tickled pink that they could sit together and see these old movies, except They both kept saying that They couldn't remember the names of the people in the movie. That's what happens when you get old, you know. He and She had seen all of these movies when they were much younger, but it was as if They had not seen them. This is how I pictured being retired, She said. Kasey did a funny thing, too. Kasey went where They were watching the movies and went to sleep on the couch, right by them! Kasey never does that. I believe she thought she was retired, too. Luckily, I was alert, and made sure everyone was safe.
Cleo's people are going to make dinner for them tomorrow, on His birthday, and Mable's Mom and Boy will be there, too. We all miss Cleo. This will be hard to have Christmas/Birthday without her.
They are through watching movies, and I suppose I can rest now. They tracked in leaves from outside though, and someone has to stalk them. If you think Kasey will do it, think again. So I will tell you more tomorrow. Addy-ose.

Brookwood Cats

Today She went to a place kind of far way, called The Brookwood Cafe. She told us all about it and showed us pictures. She and Her beloved Crones go there two times every year, because it is very special. There are a lot of people who are not good at thinking, and they stay there at Brookwood, and learn to do jobs. It is more than a nice place for lunch, She says. It is a way to help those people. Not too many Crones were able to go there today, but She said it was a quality group. While they had lunch, She saw the lady who started Brookwood, and her daughter, who worked with Her long ago,before we were even born. It made Her emotional, She said, and the food was really good. She brought soome home, like She does, but He can't share it with her, because it is meat. She is a little sad about that, but as long as He is getting better, She just has to get used to it.
Everyone is so busy for these days before Christmas that She is glad to be able to just go along and read and work Her puzzles. She gets a lot of spirit out of reading what her friends and family are doing, She says. He has His mother to care for, so that makes Him go out in traffic, and His mother does not seem to remember how many times He goes to see her. It makes Her shake Her head, but He is a good son.
You will have to excuse me now, because I have some tissue paper to stalk. Kasey pushed it down on the floor. TaTa.

Cat Cousins

Kasey and I have lots of cat-cousins. Some live next door, Like Katy. Some live kind of far, like Smudge, and some live very very far away, where Her Eddie lives. That cousin likes to get on his dad's head! We have never done that. I guess that cousin has not trained his dad as well as we have trained Them. I shall have to send him some advice.
What She has said about today is that it's a jackpot day. Do you know what that means? They got four packages today, just in this one day. They got a bokay made of fruit from Abby's Mom and Dad, They got some books, and They got a wonderful package from Smudge's Mom and Dad. I heard Her tell Him that They made out like bandits. If you know what that means, please tell me, because it doesn't sound like a good thing to me, and yet They are smiling big smiles.
Since He didn't get His spaghetti on Saturday, She is cooking some for Him tonight. Even if She had some spaghetti yesterday, She could eat it every day! It is no use to want to get thin, like Kasey, She says. Anyway,, Grandmas are supposed to look like dumplings. I have seen dumplings, and She does look like that. He says He loves Her just like She is. It's a good thing, She says.
I am going to look around in the boxes now, to see if there is anything for cats. Cheery-bye.

Celebration Cats

This was a wonderful day! I didn't miss any of my jumps, and They were home almost all day, which I really like, and They gave each other beautiful cards to say happy birthday to Their wedding. She told me it has been 34 years since their wedding day. They must like that, because They were all snuggly about it. The part She and He like the most is having a celebration with Smudges Mom and Dad. They went to a nice placfe where He could get His vegetables, and everyone else could get what they wanted. She was tickled pink about the place, and about seeing Smudge's People, especially. Smudge and his people are very special to all of us. Smudge told me he reads my stories, and I said he should write some, too. He is very smart, kind of like me, and I think he learned to write stories at his house. Smudge's Mom gave Them a ticket to get a nice kind of cake, and it made tears get in Her eyes. She also got some things to put on Her magic bracelet. So it was a wonderful day, all right, and Kasey and I celebrated with Them, by drinking water from the silver cup, having kibbles, and I got my butter and Kasey got her treats. The next big day will be when Her beloved Crones have lunch together.
I must check and see if Smudge wrote a story, the way I told him to. Chow.

Embarrassed Cat!

This is so hard to tell you, because my feelings are very hurt. Two times today I had trouble. Once, when I jumped up on the back of Her office chair, where I go to get my brushing, and once at the soft couch-top where I prefer to have my naps. First, I jumped up on Her chair to get on Her shoulder for my brushing, I slid off the back of the chair and fell down. I was between Her and the chair, and I scratched Her up pretty badly trying to regain my balance. She wanted to console me, but I was so ashamed of myself I ran away. Later, while She was eating lunch, I went to jump up on the back of the couch - I have done it a million times - and I missed, and fell right down on the floor. This time I did go to Her for pets, but I felt so sad I could hardly purr.
Anyway, They went off to where Apache's girls live because there was a party there, and I just went into Their closet and hid. I didn't even want to come out when They came home. She acted like nothing was wrong and started telling me about the party, which was delightful, She said, but I still didn't come out until just now. I know She thinks I am too fat to jump up, but I heard Her tell Him that we might need to see a vet. Oh, NO! Not a vet! I will be very careful from now on.
One funny thing - He had so much vegetables and pasta at the party that He doesn't want His spaghetti tonight. He asked Her to make it on Monday this time! Bye Bye now.

Checking Cats

They have been getting a lot of mail and messages from people, and I like to check each thing to see what it's about. I turns out that a lot of people send pictures of cats, and Kasey and I like those the most, although She makes little noises about all of them. Sometimes She says awww, and She always has Him look at each one. It is nice to get messages from Her friends, who are all family to Her and Him. Sometimes people write little letters with their picture messages. She always reads those out loud.This time of year, She says, messages come about Christmas, the birthday of Their wedding, and His birthday. They all come at once, and the messages make her very happy. We are glad to check them for Her.
Today He went to see a movie that He feels very special about. She did not go, but when He came home, She could see that He liked that movie, and He is going to see it again with Cleo's girls. It makes Her happy to see Him interested in His strange movies. She says it is how She thinks of Him!
She has received pictures of Her Eddie, from the Opera Girl and the Photo Girl. Here's what She says - These are MY kids!
Kasey visited Her on Her desk today, and She thinks it is because Kasey is starting to like Her. Can you say treats? (snerk)She is so fooled! Well, more things to check. TTYL

Funny Cats

When She gets on Her computer, She likes to look at pictures of cats. There are all kinds of funny cats on the computer, and they sometimes have sayings on them as if the cats are talking. The cats that write these are terrible spellers. She has taught me better spelling than that. Well, She laughs at those cats and still, She says, they are not as funny as Kasey and me. How about when I put my paws on her face and massage her face. Doesn't that seem funny? And when Kasey finds even the smallest piece of something soft, she will fit herself on it. When She puts Her soft, pink robe on the bed, and Kasey rushes to get on it...........or when I jump in the air when the toaster pops up. Those things are funnier than the computer cats. But here's the thing. LW'sMom gave Them a camera - the kind that can make our pictures go on the computer, but He keeps it with His equipment, and by the time He goes to get it, we have stopped being funny. One of these days, She says, there will be pictures of Coffee and Kasey on the computer, and I promise you, you will laugh. And the spelling will be better.
A bunch of Their Christmas cards have cat pictures on them, too. People sure know They like cats.
Let me go see what She is doing now. Later, gator.

Massage Cat

One thing I like to do is to give Her a massage. For instance, when She finishes Her lunch and works on her puzzle book, I get up on her lap and give her a little massage with my paws. She puts down Her pencil, and gives me some pets. Today, I lay down across Her chest and put my paws on Her face, then I massaged Her face. For some reason, that made Her laugh, so I went back to massaging Her tummy. I guess She was laughing because She was happy, and not because She thought I was silly.
She went to get a few things today, and it was all She could do not to buy more things for the Alphas and Cleo's People. He told Her to stop getting things, or people would be tired of Her presents. I can't help it, She told Him. When I see something that will tickle them pink, I want them to have it. Well, that's good, He said, but save some things for later. She said that would be OK. It is lucky Her Eddie-friends, including Eddie don't come over for Christmas, or She would not have enough money left to buy kibbles! (snerk)
She is looking for me, so I guess She forgives me for that one little bite I gave Her after the massage. Cheery-bye.

We Learn Things

We learned something important today. Lots of Her friends have colds or something else wrong, and She says we should learn from this that taking good care of yourself is an important job. Kasey and I pay attention when She wants us to learn something because we know it is easier than having Her tell us again! She will do that, you know. She says you can take the teacher out of the classroom, but you can't make her stop teaching! Some of Her friends are sick. One is the beautiful Opera girl. Luckily, she waited until she got back from her trip far away to get sick. But She is also sad that Her Eddie has a cold. He has to do a show every night, even when he feels pew, because lots of people have bought tickets.
Well, He is not exactly sick, but He takes some medicine that makes his hands shake. He told the doctor He wants to quit this medicine, but the doc told Him that it might be bad for His thinking problem. Remember when He had that? I have never seen Her so sad as when that happened. He decided it was easier to have shaky hands than to have Her be sad. She told Him that Her hads shake, too, and always have, so They are a perfect match. Just be careful when you eat soup!
I believe I saw Katy's husband in the back yard. I will go check that out, because She doesn't want him scaring the birds. I will make a mean face at him. Chow.

Monday Cats

Today has been a fine day, for a Monday. Mondays start busy days and weeks for Them. I like a rather quiet day, myself, so I can rest up for evening activities: Kibbles, sharing Her dinner, chasing Kasey, and watching TV with Her. I guess She is in full preparing mode, because interesting bags and boxes are appearing everywhere. She puts the presents in shopping bags to help save trees. She has several things to put in each bag, so She is saving a lot of paper. I don't like that, not because of the paper, but because everyone gets all their gifts at once! Waiting to get your packages is lots of fun. She says Yes it's fun, but it wastes paper, so we will just have to be strong!Do you think She is teasing me?
Katy's Mom has trouble with her car, so She got to go with K'sM to get Katy's girl and boy from their schools. It was really a pleasant trip, and She was glad to help. Katy's Mom is having a lot of bad luck in these days before Christmas. It would make Her happy if all these troubles got fixed.
This morning, He took some more books for Mazie's Mom to the Post Office.
I hear some meowing at our front door. It must be Katy's husband. Now He will take him some kibbles, and I will go and eat mine. TTYL

Church Cats

Today She was excited to go to Her church, because She knew She would see LW and the Alpha-girls. They make Her heart feel good. It seems She decided to stay for a big meeting, because She likes this president better than some of the others, but when She came home, She told Him that it had been a mistake. She was disappointed by the meeting, because it made her feel like it is not Her church anymore. I'll just stay home, She said, and have church here with my cats! That doesn't mean She didn't like seeing the children. She does love those children, alright!
In fact, you may remember when She went to a party for a sweet girl who was having a baby. Well, the baby came, but the new Mom had a hard time. I think the doctors had made a couple of mistakes, and the new Mom almost died! She thinks it was lucky that they caught the mistakes in time - and She is really hoping they did - because the new Mom and her mother are very special to Her. She told us to purr very loudly for them, so that they will have good luck. She was glad to tell Him that the new baby is OK. That's the good news in that story.
I am planning to go and get on the back of the sofa and have a nice nap. It is soft and comfy, and the best thing is that you can't see how much hair I leave up there (snerk). Toodle Pip

Cats Stay Home

There was a lot of driving today. The party She went to was far away. It was as far as Mazie's old house from here, only going the other way. There was lots of traffic, and She ran into a roadblock, so She couldn't get on the road She needed. It made Her kind of anxious, because She knew She would be quite late. She hates to be late. It crossed Her mind to go back home, but She really loves Mazie's new sister, so She kept going. There were a lot of presents for the bride to open, but what She gave was Her old cookbook from when She was first married. It was pretty shabby, in my opinion, but the new sister liked it just fine. There was a lot of delicious food, as well, but She didn't bring any home. The new sister's Mom kept bringing her things to eat. When it was time to go home, She could hardly see, She said. There was a lot of fog, which means it is hard to see. She said it was because they were close to the water down there. I'm glad Kasey and I could stay home. It sounds really hard to go far like that.
Tomorrow She will see LW, She thinks, so She has a lot to smile about. Lots of things to do to get ready for presents. I will help! So long for now.

Fast Days

The packages are in the mail, and so are the cards. She only sends a few cards to special friends. Sometimes they are funny cards, and sometimes they are useful cards, with a recipe or something. Or sometimes they are computer cards that are very, very special. You see, She doesn't make a lot of Christmas. She likes the music, She says, and She likes the excuse to get things for the children, but She is not churchy about Christmas. I heard Her tell Him that you can't deny that there is something in the air. She thinks about the first day of winter, and then Spring is coming. But days are fast now. There are parties and dinners and places to be. That makes time go fast. One thing She says is that time goes faster now that She is old. But it is also nice to be old, She says. It is time to turn the hard work over to younger people. Even when that puts tears in Her eyes, She still believes it.
So tonight They will have a nice dinner and watch some TV. They usually have some popcorn and root beer, the kind without sugar, so each night is a kind of party here! Kasey and I are all rested up for an evening of sharing Her dinner and snoozing on laps. Or in Kasey's case, on a soft blue blanket. More news tomorrow. Keep warm.

Cats Keep Going

We got a lot done today, because we would not let Her get away from business. If She stopped working, I would climb on Her and lie on Her keyboard so that She had to keep going. Her job today was getting the packages ready to mail to Mazie, and to LW's people who live far away. She had a package for Abby's Dad, as well. It is a pillow that says I smile because you're my brother. I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it. It is fun for Her to have a brother after all these years. When I was born, I had brothers and sisters, but I didn't get to know them very well. Kasey is my only sister now. We make Them laugh, because it seems as if we are fighting, but it is just for play. Kasey is so funny when we play, but most of the time she is rude.
A friend of Hers that is an opera singer sent Her a CD of the opera, and She was tickled pink. The opera girl also sent some pictures. The girl is very smart, and can do lots of things, not just sing opera. One day, She says, She will meet the opera girl in person. We like her, too, because she likes cats. That is a friendly way to be. Sometimes She just thinks of all the different kinds of friends She has, and it makes Her smile.
Well, the work is done, now we can rest. Cheery-bye.

A Lesson for She and He

It seems as if She has learned Her lesson about eating too much when She goes to have lunch with Her beloved Crones. She told Him that The food is lovely, and there is so much to choose, but it is not worth it to feel so bad that She needs an Alka Seltzer! She mostly had enough to eat, but stopped before She ate too, too much. She still was full at supper time, but She just ate a small dinner. I am proud of Her that She learned that. I don't like it when She feels sick, or can't talk.
Remember I told you yesterday that He went to get hypnotized? He wanted to learn something, too. He wanted to be hypnotized so He could read faster. I guess you know He has what She used to teach. She said it is dys - something, and He has learned so much even so. The hypnotizing lady was very good, He said, and gave Him a tape to use to help Him every day. He reads a lot, and we think He reads OK, but it only matters what He thinks. I don't know how to read, but I still can sniffle things and find things.
Well, I guess it is time for me to go and look out the window to see if Katy is around here. This morning Katy was in our back yard, and looked in the window at Kasey and me. I wonder if she is back. Addy-ose

Moving On Cats

It just doesn't work for us to be so sad that we can't keep going. We have to move on, give our massages and snuggles, get our pets and kibbles. When you feel like just lying around, like I did yesterday, you don't start to feel better. When She woke up this morning, She said We have to keep on going, Coffs. We need to be thankful for what we have, not what we have lost. She read that in a book. We neet to put one paw in front of the other and move toward all the busy times ahead. Just think, there is a party for Mazie's new sister on Saturday, and then Deena's boy will get his degree. That means he doesn't have to go to school any more, if he doesn't want to! And Apache's girl is having a celebration. We have Their wedding's birthday, and Smudge's Mom and Dad's wedding's birthday, and then His Birthday, and then Smudges Dad's birthday! We do NOT have time to lie around! Yes, we can still feel sad about Cleo, but she would not want us to let all these good things go by, now, would she.
Guess where He went today. To get hypnotized. That sound like so much fun. I'll let you know if there is anything to report tomorrow. I have to go and get a big drink of water, now. Good night.

Cats Can Cry

We are too sad today, too sad to play, or stalk, or ask for treats. Do you know why? Our cousin Cleo died today. We had fun with Cleo, and she didn't scare us or chase us or bark at us. She DID eat some of our food, but I think that was because They give us nice food, and Cleo was trying to be friendly and share. When Cleo's Mom called this morning, She started to cry. That made us so sad, because She is usually the cheerful one. I tried to make her feel better. I got up on Her and gave Her snuggles, but I was not too good at it, because I felt just as bad. Kasey came and got very close to Her face. I think Kasey would have licked her tears away, that's how bad she felt. Kasey just doesn't do that - but she was this close!
She went to the vet's with Cleo's Mom, so they could make each other feel better. Here was the hardest part: Cleo died on her own before She and Cleo's Mom got there. She said that Cleo didn't want to put them through the hurt of saying goodbye to her face. The vet gave Cleo's Mom a piece of something with Cleo's paw print on it, so she can always remember Cleo. We don't need anything to remember Cleo. We won't forget our d-o-g cousin. Rest in peace, Cleo.

Family Cat

Both of Them went to hear LW'sMom give a nice talk this morning, and They both told us it was brilliant. LW'sMom is going to be a great minister. That is someone who helps people understand their spirits. Cats don't need ministers, because we know all about our speirits already. People aren't so lucky. When She came home, Her spirit was nice and warm, because She held LW on Her lap, and LW's sisters sat beside Her - one on each side.
After that, They ate lunch with Mable'sMom. M'sM doesn't feel so good, because she is full of aches and pains that don't go away. The medicine that she takes helps a little, so she will stick with it, and see how she feels in a few weeks. Poor Mable'sMom.
Then, Deena's Mom came over with a wonderful gift! It is something that all the kids will enjoy. That is the best kind of gift, because it gives so much fun to others. I stayed close by so I could hear Her talking to Deena's Mom. I didn't need to hide in the closet, because He was in the kitchen, and She and Deena's mom would never hurt me. The present she brought did kind of scare me a little, but after awhile, I got a close look at it, and sniffled it all over. Even Kasey came to look at it. She says the kids will love it, too. Besides a present, Deena's Mom brought some soup, made out of vegetables, so He can eat it. She says We are so lucky to have such a top-notch family! TTYL

Cats Drilling?

If you ever met Her, you would know that She loves this Eddie guy, and we love him, too, because He is Her grandson. (In Her mind!) Along with this Eddie, She also has Eddie-people. These are people that she met on the computer, and She knows some of them quite well, and loves the way they care about each other. She talks about Eddie so much that lots of Her home friends get tired of hearing about it, but Her Eddie-friends never do. Eddie has this joke about cats. When you think they are purring, they're really drilling, he says. I have to laugh at that one myself. Eddie *gets* cats, She says. Sometimes, when I am purring very loudly, She says, Cat, are you drilling, and then we both laugh.
The snow is all gone today, and the sun was out. It should be warm tomorrow when She goes to listen to LW'sMom. Then, later, Deena's mom is coming over. She is happy about both of those things.
Today is spaghetti day around here, and He is tickled pink. He started talking about it first thing today. She can talk pretty well today, so maybe the worst is over. We all hope so, because there is a lot to do before Christmas. I told you, She will be scurrying around, just like people who didn't get shopping done early!
I have to go stalk something by the window. That's all for me today.

Snow Cats

Today I looked out the window, and all this snow was falling down! I got onto the windowsill and watched it. The grass turned mostly white, with some little tufts sticking up. I watched it for a long time, while She sat in Her comfy chair and said I'm sure glad I don't have to go out in that, aren't you, Coffs? When the snow quit falling, I went over and got on her lap, and we had some roast beef sandwich and chips. She got it at the store yesterday. If She gets three more, the next one is free. It was very tasty.
Remember, I told you He had to go take His mother to the doctor? Well, She hoped that she wouldn't want to go out in the snow, but She should have known - a trip to the doctor is just too good to miss. It was a relief when He got home safely.
Her Michigan Girl has been in Costa Rica for her MS, and She is so thrilled that it helped her! Before she went, she couldn't walk at all, and now she can stand and walk and turn over in bed! It was something called stem cells, and it has worked after one month there. I know She is excited about that!
She made vegetable gumbo for Him tonight, because He has had such a hard day with His mother. I am going to check that out. TaTa.

Lucky Cats

We are lucky to have a nice warm house when it gets really cold out. When She opens the door, you can feel the cold air, and They are wearing warm sweaters. She puts on Her pink robe every morning. The man on TV said it is going to snow tomorrow. Kasey and I can't remember that we ever saw snow. Where He and She used to live, very far away from here, They had snow all the time, and She really doesn't like snow! People here, who don't see much snow get all excited, but She made sure She has everything She needs, so She doesn't have to go outside!
He can't stay home tomorrow, because He has to take His mother to still anothher doctor. It is what she does for fun - go to the doctor. He plays along, so she is not so sad. What She says is what's the use. She will make Him a nice dinner out of vegetables tomorrow, to cheer him up.
She still can't talk, and Mable's Mom thinks it is because the air in the house is dry. I guess She will try to keep her throat damp. She has lots of soda. LW's Mom told Her about some special tea, but She couldn't find it at the store. She will look again tomorrow, and if She finds it on the computer, She will ask Him to get it for Her. Trouble is, maybe He likes that She can't talk! (snerk)
I have to go look under Her chair. I think She dropped something I can stalk. Cheery-Bye

Silent She

It was a bummer day. Her throat was a little scratchy yesterday, but today She woke up with no voice at all. Although She told me She did not feel very sick, it was enough to make Her afraid that She would give a cold to Smudge's Mom, and that made her very sad. Since She couldn't talk, He had to call S'sM to tell her that She couldn't risk it, and She was glum all day. She can't answer the phone, even. And She was couldn't waiting to see Smudge's Mom! And they would have had nice coffee-the-drink, too.
Well, the mail guy brought Them a DVD and it was named Rage. It was very peculiar. She wanted to watch it right away, and so They sat down and said this is an odd movie. All of a sudden He said no wonder you wanted to see this movie, and She laughed - very quietly. I bet you can guess who showed up in this movie. (snerk)
This cold seems very strange, She said. Except for a runny nose and no voice, She doesn't feel really sick, just pew. She has some medicine that says Zicam on it, and She thinks maybe that is helping. But She sure misses Smudge's Mom.
It is time for me to have an after-movie snack. ByeBye.

Cold Weather Cats

It is very cold and rainy today, and not a nice day to do errands. She thought very hard about going out, because She doesn't like to be cold. Finally, She went to Her bank. She is all business about Her bank! And then, as long as She was out, She stopped at the store to get some of what She calls odds and ends. That means it's not food, but finishing touches for Her Christmas and graduation things. She told Him that it is hard to get graduation cards in December, which made her wonder, since She has two graduation people this month. Well, She will keep looking. She was glad to get home from her errands.
One of Her girls from the computer had made a nice picture for Her to put on the place where they send messages to each other. It is so adorable that She had to show it to everybody! It is a picture of a cat, and Kasey and I really like that.
Tomorrow She is going to see Smudge's Mom. They have to make plans for their anniversaries, which are one day and one year apart. They love to do that!
The man who came to fix His light gave me some great pets. He knew that I was just giving a love-bite when I bit him. Must chase Kasey now. TTYL
