Hairy Cats
He and She are working on getting rid of cat hair. Now there are three of us, and She says the animal rights people will be suspicious if they see our stuff, because they will think it's all made out of fur. I personally think that is kind of a joke, because you can see it is really cat hair, but then I don't always get Their jokes. I have not been getting my daily brushings, because I can't always wiggle my way into Her lap and stay long enough to be brushed. I am not complaining, because I have a suspicion. Don't hold me to this, but I think Kate is trying to make friends. Here's what I noticed. Kate came very close to me this morning and we just stared at each other. I'll tell you a little secret about cats' tails. When we wag our tails back and forth like a dog does, it means we are ready to fight or flee. Well, Kate's tail was only wiggling on the end a little, so she wasn't looking for a fight. I asked Her, and She said She thought it was Kate being friendly and trying to know us. Don't worry. I'll still be very careful. She would be so very happy if we were all friends. To be sure, She doesn't expect Kasey to EVER be friends with anyone but Him, but I would love to see Her happy. She fixes fish, after all. TTYL.

Important Decisions Cats
Something has Her all excited today, and it is that some important guys made a big decision about humans going to the doc. Kasey, Kate and I don't bother with money, but it is very important to human people. She is very particular about money, for example. Well, the guy She likes so much, the President, had an idea to make going to the doc ,more fair and not so much money. The guys that are against him said it should be against the law.. There is a group that sorts out arguments like these, and they said the President's idea was OK. She is chuffed about that. He and She are so old that they don't have to pay for going to the doc for regular things. She still thinks it is good for all the other people. It will be better for everyone, Cofs, She said to me. Kasey, Kate and I are just as glad it isn't about cats. I have never liked going to cat docs, and I don't want it to be cheaper so She takes us more often.
She is glad to be home today. One thing She loves is going somewhere with Her pals. Another thing is staying home. I like the home one. Toodles.

Interesting Cats
I might have guessed, when She looked at my stories, that She would have something to say. He thinks it's the teacher in Her. She can't just say, it's fine, Cofs. I love it. What She said was that the people who read my stories might be tired of me whining about Kate. Hana'sGran told Her that it may take a whole year before we are all good friends. So I will try to be more interesting. I will write about how just because you are big, that doesn't mean you are in charge. Being in charge takes more than that. First, you have to want to be in charge. Kasey is like that. Kasey believes she is The most important cat in the whole world, and so everything should be how she wants it. Kate thinks she should be in charge, because she is younger and has more experience in the real world. Kate has lived out on the mean streets, after all, She saw some terrible boys throw her kittens down in the street and kill them. It made her very tough to go through that. Kate believes she deserves to be in charge. Being in charge takes a lot of Cat-smarts. One thing She told me is that humans have to know how to be in charge, too. Don't forget it, Cofs. I am in charge. Well, that's what she thinks, and I don't want any trouble, so I'll just go along with that. So long until tomorrow.

One-More-Step Cats
Today I went one more step toward being back to my old self. In the morning, She gave me some snuggles in the bedroom, right by the closet. Kate didn't come in, so we had a nice time. Then He and She went away, and when They came home, I got some pets. Finally this afternoon, I come in here to the computer and we had another nice visit. I got a much-needed brushing, and it was like old times.
This is the day for the Thinking People, so off they went to Sabra's house. Sabra'sDad made a special kind of coffee. She said it is the kind LW'sMom makes. She loves that kind. None of the other people were there, so He and She and Sabra'sPeople talked about things that people have to do, what they should do, and what they can or can't do. It really had Her tickled pink to think about these things. She realized that there was some really good thinking for the whole rest of the week. She is paying attention to what lines cannot be crossed. I'm not sure I get it, but She sure does. Thinking feels good to Her, and She wants to do it more often. I want to keep taking one more step for getting back to our routines. For now, I have to run back to Her closet. Bye.

Wary Cats
Today I was very brave, and risked a problem with Kate to come and write my story. I did give Her some snuggles today, and then I had to run away from Kate. I wish I could stare Kate down the way Kasey does. They stare at each other, and Kasey makes a mean face and growls, and Kate goes away. I am twice as big as Kate, but I don't like to be mean. I also don't like to get biffed with a paw that has claws. It makes Her very sad that I don't come and sit on Her lap while we watch TV. I don't come and play with Her when She checks Her messages. She promises me it will all get better one of these days. I hope She is right.
Uncle John and Aunt Heather came over today, but they didn't bring Remington. Here's why. Uncle John is moving to Aunt Heather's house, and She has to take a lot of his stuff back, and there wasn't room. I don't think they know how much She will miss their visits. Maybe we can go and see them. Of course, She doesn't go much of anyplace anymore. Well, maybe we will see about that, too. Good night, dear readers.

Kasey Speaks
Hello humans. This is Kasey. I am writing this story today because my wimpy brother is afraid of that new meddling intruder from next door. He is twice her size, but has taken to his closet hoping she will be gone when he comes out. That is not going to happen, and I told him to use his size and wits to stake out his place. The silly woman here tries to cajole him and promise him safe passage, but the woman has no clue. My Man, on the other hand, just goes about his business and I am fine. The box on his desk is quite comfortable. I am used to the bedroom as well. My trips to the living room have been short and infrequent. Coffee-Scaredy-Cat has always depended on the woman. I told him not to trust humans, but did he listen? He is getting what he deserves. I don't care whether the woman is happy, or whether Coffee stops hiding, and I don't care what the humans eat for dinner. If you don't like that, well, adjust. I'm going back to bed.

Seperate Cats
It looks as if the next stage of welcoming our new sister, Kate into the family is choosing our spots and staying there. He has moved our litter, our kibbles and our water into Their bedroom, and Kasey and I work hard to keep Kate out. Kate is kind of a good-natured cat, but gets possessive about Her. I don't have much success telling Kate that She is MY person. While Kate is welcome to pets, they have to come when I am busy with something else, and snuggles are out of the question. Last evening, when I was getting snuggles, Kate tried to sniffle me and I got scared and yowed at her. After awhile, things settled down, but I was watchful. It makes Her kind of impatient, and She says there was a guy who had the right idea, and he said can't we all get along? There have been a lot of changes here in the last bunch of weeks, but it is better, even if we have our own spaces.
She is making soup for our dinner. I don't know why She makes soup when it is so hot, but She says I just feel like soup today, Cofs. I like a good soup as much as the next cat, so I won't complain. Cheerio.

Ole` Cats
The place where She went today with Rocky'sMom was like going to Mexico, She said. The place was very pretty and the people were very nice. She told Him that She could even speak Spanish with the guys there. She was a little worried when Rocky'sMom said she wanted to go there, because She remembered that it had steps, but She saw that the way to get in had a ramp, and the way to the table had steps that were not too hard for Her. They gave Her delicious things to eat, and I can't wait to see what they are. I have to wait until tomorrow, though, because tonight They are having fish. I heard Her tell Him that before She left. I have to use some clever tricks to get onto Her chair, because Kate is very quick and can get from where she is sleeping to where I want to go in a matter of practically no time. Sometimes I have to wait and have Her carry me. She says I look like Puss in Boots when I want to be picked up. I saw that movie from Her lap a while ago, and I don't look anything like that cat. I don't have boots or a hat. So far, Kate doesn't bother me when I am up here writing my stories. Let's keep it that way, OK? Oddy-ose, amigos.

Healthy Cats
The reason there was no toast and butter today is that She had to go to the doc, and they don't want you to eat anything, or even drink your coffee. You can guess that She doesn't like this situation, but the good part was that since She didn't eat or drink coffee, She doesn't have to go back. And She got a good report on Her being healthy. Before She went on that boat, She thought She could do anything, and now She knows She can't. If you have to have bad knees and bad balance, Cofs, She said to me, then it is good if your other stuff is good and you lost a couple of pounds. I sure hope I don't have to go to the doc, because I may have good knees, but I have not lost one single pound in years.
So then She went to pick up Her pills, and She decided to get steaks for Their dinner. Never go shopping when you are hungry, She says, or you'll end up bringing home steaks. The coffee guy made Her a nice cold coffee with whipped cream. That was Her lunch. So, good for Her, to get good marks at the doc, and good for Him that He gets steak for dinner. Good for me that he won't share with Kate. Another win-win? I guess so. Cheers, mates.

Poetry Cats
Oh my, but She was chuffed about going on the Art visit with Smudge'sMom. She was so excited when She told me about it that It did kind of mix me up. They got to the Art Museum just barely in time for their tea, while a lady explained lots of things about tea. They ate cute little sandwiches and a berry covered in chocolate. Afterwards, there was a time to go around looking at everything, but She thought it was a good time to rest. She was tickled at all the new stuff there, and that Smudge'sMom could park in out f the rain, because it was kind of stormy. After that, they went to another museum where a bunch of artists and people who wrote stories, kind of like mine, had a show. She got to listen to people read their poems, while they looked at pictures to match the poems. Afterwards, there were interesting women to talk to, and one guy. She loved it. I was so glad to see Her come home that I ignored Kate and got a bunch of snuggles. I stayed by Her when She went to sleep, and even gave Her a nice massage. It didn't seem to bother Kate at all. Mainly, She had a nice time going out to museums, and I had a nice time getting snuggles when She came home. He called it a win-win. I like the sound of that. Win-win.

Progress Cats
Yes, there has been progress since yesterday. I have figured out a way to get snuggles from Her and ignore Kate, then Kate gets up and has some pets and jumps down. Do you know what is funny? Kasey mostly ignores Kate, but when they are face-to-face, both of them make a long yow, then go on their separate ways. I'm glad they don't fight. It is just like He and She told us it would be. We have a little upsetting happen, then things smooth out.
Meanwhile, She is planning an outing with Smudge'sMom, and She always has a good time with S'sM. She will tell me all about it, and I will tell you.
She was spending a lot of time with Her computer friends today. Sometimes She likes to be surrounded by these people, whom She knows better than a lot of people in Her real life. Oh, of course She loves Her real people as well, but it is fun to visit with people all over the world. She says they nourish her spirit. I don't know what that means, but it must be like how I feel when I'm getting snuggles. I'm going to get some nice kibbles now, and watch what She is fixing for our dinner. Chow, bambinos.

Excuse Me Cats
My dear readers, today you will have to excuse me, because I have had an unthinkable experience, and I am a little bit discombobulated. You see, last night I saw my new sister, Kate get up on Her tummy and go to sleep. Kate doesn't realize that She is MY person. You must realize that She is as baffled by this sad turn of events as I am, but we are at a loss. She doesn't want to hurt Kate's feelings, nor mine. I made sure to get a super amount of snuggles this morning, but the specter of that little gray cat is hanging over us. When Kate came, She told me that there would have to be some adjustments, but to share Her tummy was not what I expected. He says I am Kate's person now, and I don't like to make trouble on Fathers' Day, but He is not correct. She is MY person. You will have to check carefully to see how this puzzle works itself out. Right now I am too emotional to talk about our dinner or Kasey. If I am lucky, I will update you tomorrow. G'bye.

Rambling Cats
Today I feel like rambling instead of sticking to one topic. I'll just begin and we'll see where it goes. About Her is that She seems to be shaking more than usual. She has been shaking since She was a little girl, but now She can hardly eat soup. It must be old age.
About Kate is that today Kate did something I usually do. While She was at Her computer and I was hiding from the thunder, Kate got up on Her chair, then onto Her desk, asking for pets and purring. I'll have to think about whether I like that.
About Him is that He had to go out today while it was storming very hard. He hates to get wet as much as I do, so it must have been very important. She asked Him why he seemed so mad, and He said He had a ton of things to work out. She doesn't like to hear that, you know.
About Kasey is that she is exactly the same, nothing new, nothing interesting.
About me is that I am worried about the usual stuff, so nothing new there. I don't even know what's for dinner. So TTYTomorrow.

Day Off Cats
There was no lunch with friends, no appointments, no shopping to do. Today She took the day off. She didn't even get dressed until nearly time to eat lunch. What's retirement for, Cofs, She said to me, if you can't take a day off once in awhile. As for me, I'm glad She was here. I figured something out about my new sister, Kate. For a long time, she lived outside a lot, and had to kind of take an attitude with the rest of the cats in order to avoid disputes. I like it that Kate is kind of feisty, except when she gets feisty with me. Our Aunt Heather told us it might help to put our litter boxes in separate places, so He did that today. We will see if that makes Kate feel better. I have to remember that it took me a long time to feel safe here.
This weekend is another special day for humans. It is about their fathers. I don't know my father, and neither did She - at least not very much. His father died when He was as old as LW, so He didn't have a chance for knowing His father very well. He and She will just sit this holiday out, I guess. Of course, He and She know some great fathers, and we will wish all kind of good things for them, but that will be all there is to it.
Pink fish tonight equals happy cats. Ah-dyoo, amis.

Cross Cats
This is about how we cannot cross paths with each other without the possibility of a Yow-fest. Don't worry. We are working on it. Kate is just addicted to those treats He gets at the store, and He thinks it makes Kate comfy to have them. That should help.
Today She left the cat drama behind and went to have lunch with Rocky'sMom. She and R'sM have known each other for a gazillion years, and they like to catch up with each other's news every so often. She is glad She doesn't have to go a big bunch of miles to visit Rocky'sFamily, like She did when they lived in the next state over.
As usual, She brought home a box of food, which She will use for lunch tomorrow, because tonight He and She will eat barbecued ribs, which She got at a barbecued ribs place. Maybe you remember that every so often She gets a hunger for those ribs, and this time She decided not to fight it. She brought home enough to have for two dinners, and tonight They will have the second night. I thought you should know that She is thrifty like that. Til tomorrow, ((hug))

Three Cats
When there is a big change in your life, you need to process it and try out different ways to adjust. You know that, of course. Kasey and I know it, too, but it is one thing to know about adjusting, and another thing to adjust. We are still sorting it out, and He and She are helping us. Right now, Kate is not sure about us, so she is being kind of meowie and growly when we get too close. Kasey and I have both backed down when Kate has challenged us. What She says is that Kate will learn to trust us all and everything will be fine. I sure hope She is right about that, because I want to lie in my sun-spot and Kate thinks it is her spot. I still get my snuggles, and plenty of pets, and I try not to be jealous. I hope this will work itself out pretty soon.
Nothing makes Her more chuffed than to see Her beloved Crones. She said everyone was a little bummed today, because Smudges'sMom couldn't come. It turned out she had to see her doc about whether there is something bad wrong with her, or if it is a thing they can fix. All the Crones sent their love to S'sM, and so did Kasey and I. We love Smudge'sMom.
She is too full of a big lunch to want much dinner, so it's every man and cat for him/herself tonight. Cheers.

What's Wrong Cats
Sometimes somebody says What's wrong with you? which makes me think about an answer to that. What's wrong with me is that I am super scared. I'm afraid of loud noises, of strangers, or other cats. She wonders why, but I don't know what to tell Her. Kasey is not afraid, but she has an attitude that some think of as snooty. She doesn't much like pets, rarely accepts a snuggle, and mostly from Him. That's the way Kasey is, take it or leave it. Our new sister, Kate, is getting used to so many things at once that it sometimes causes a problem, like when we surprise her or she thinks we want her food. She will get over that. So, what's wrong with Her? It seems as if She is healthy and awake for someone so old, but it is hard for Her to get around. Her knees hurt, but the worst thing is that She is so afraid She will fall that She doesn't want to walk anywhere. Here's a funny thing about that. She cannot stand on one foot long enough to step up or down a curb. As for Him, there is not much wrong with Him. He has too many ideas, maybe, and He is not good about money, but She doesn't know how She would get along without Him. There is more that is right with us than wrong. I'll tell you someday. Ta Ta.

Meeting Cats
Today our Aunt Heather and Uncle John cam over and it is the first time they met our new sister, Kate. Kate was really the star of the show as she accepted pets and playtime with our visitors. I was kind of nervous, because Remington came along and Kate doesn't understand about Remington being a pet rat. At first, Remington was on a kind of leash, but he managed to work his way out of the leash. Luckily, he stayed pretty close to his people, and Kate only got a whiff of him. I was relieved when Remington left unharmed. Kasey didn't care.
His car is doing something hinky, and He took it in today to be checked. It seems that sometimes the key won't turn when He puts it in the car, and He has to get that fixed. Wouldn't you know, the car wouldn't do it while it was over there. He will leave it overnight to see if they can find out why that happens. He is very particular about everything working the way it is supposed to.
We sang Happy Birthday to LW's next sister today, but she wasn't here to hear us. Bye for now.

LW's Cats
Today LW came to see Her and brought her Mom, her Dad, and her two big sisters. The reason was that it was LW's next sister's birthday tomorrow, and He and She had presents for her. It has been hard to schedule time with LW's family, because everyone has so many things to do, so She gave all the rest of the people their presents, too. She loves to know whether people like their presents, and it is hard with this busy family. LW and her oldest sister sang two songs, and they sounded very pretty. You knw She was chuffed. The Birthday sister did a dance.
The family met our new sister, Kate. They like cats and all animals, and Kate was really ready to play. It was kind of fun to watch them, but you know Kasey and me. We are shy cats, and stayed in the background. It is a long time since Kate wanted to go outside, but when the company left, she went to the front door. She didn't yow, but she loved playing with those kids.
Leftovers for dinner tonight. It's that good chicken stuff. Oh, I love that. Good news for me is that Kate doesn't like to share Her dinner. Aloha, cousins.

Kidding Cats
You know She doesn't like to cook any more. She used to love to cook. It was even fun for Her to go to the store, and make things from stuff out of Her cupboards. Now She gets things that are partly ready and just finishes them. She still loves to eat, so She gets some pretty good stuff. She showed me what She is fixing tonight, and mostly it is out of a big, frozen bag. She will have to cook some noodles, and that is all the cooking She intends to do. That way, She will have time to visit with Her computer friends. I came in and helped Her today, and we sent lots of messages. When She started to play a game, I left. There are no pictures of cats in Her games.
Kate is still nice and comfy here, and has learned that She will give her treats if she acts cute. Kate comes in here and mews very softly, then puts her little paws up on Her chair and looks as if she is starving, and of course, She falls for it. I try to see the cuteness in it, but it just makes me gack. At least we don't fight. Sometimes we get a bit noisy, but it's all for show. . I guess one day I'll forget that I am the big brother to two silly girls. 'Til tomorrow, friends.

Almost Normal Cats
It has been a week, and things around here are almost back to normal with the new cat. Kate has been very comfortable with a soft chair and a cozy nest under the TV. Kasey and I are being just like we were before she came here, except for the occasional growl or hiss. I a, getting my regular snuggles, and Kate is satisfied with pets and a treat now and then. She reminds me of Kasey about not getting her head petted. Maybe it's a girl-cat thing.
She sent away for some nuts, because She wants to avoid candy. She calls it trail mix, but I can see it is nuts and raisins. I guess She thinks trail mix sounds healthier. Remember that our Uncle John fixed the new remote? Well, it stopped working and He and She have to go work the TV by hand. Did you know that is the way everyone used to do it before remotes were invented. I can't imagine doing that. She knows lots of stories about how things used to be, but I don't believe all of them. She says when She was as big as LW, a guy brought ice to the house to keep the food cold. I had to LOL at that story.
There is fish in the oven, and I am a happy cat. Chow.
She sent away for some nuts, because She wants to avoid candy. She calls it trail mix, but I can see it is nuts and raisins. I guess She thinks trail mix sounds healthier.

More Peace Cats
Well, She is chuffed, because we had a better night and day. There is peace in the kingdom, She says, and looks happy. Of course there are still some adjustments to be made. The three of us are wary of each other, but He reminded Her that Kasey and I are not all that friendly, and we have been working on that for years. Kate is very far ahead of that, but she has wisely chosen a couple of places I can't fit into, and rests in there when I am out and about the house. Kate is very cozy here, and likes to get pets. I try not to look when She is petting her, because it troubles my inner cat.
He and She were both home all day today. That is my favorite thing. When all of us are just doing things around the house, it feels good. She has been feeling a little better, but thinks the thing She calls a walker will have to travel with Her. If She goes to a store, She uses the basket that they have there to hold Her steady. One time He tried to buy Her one of those. A small one. You would not believe how much they cost. So the thing She already has will have to work. She doesn't like to talk about how lame She is. It makes Her sad. She is happier when She is home with us, or with Hana'sGran or Her beloved Crones. I'm going to go check on what She is fixing for dinner tonight. I think I smell chicken. TTYL

Noisy Cats
Don't ask me how I got the courage, but last night I decided to show Katy who was boss around here. I wanted her to believe it was me. When she came to eat her food in the middle of the night, I lay down in her way, and glared at her when she growled at me. That led to a meow-festival that brought Kasey out to see what was going on. By the time I got Katy to jump on top of the TV, She got into it and put me on Her lap. Kasey went back to bed and Kate got full access to her kibbles, her water and her litter box. For a minute there, I knew how it felt to be top cat. Of course, She reminded me that She was top cat, which would seriously astound Kasey. Today things were pretty much back to normal, with a little glaring and a few quiet meows. I am not comfortable with being mean. I think I learned how where I lived before I came to Him and Her. She did not scold me, but She said I should be nice to Kate. Things will be better if everyone is nice. That's what She thinks, and She wants me to think that, too. Sometimes, though, I think She forgets that there is a place inside cats where they feel things about being cats. Humans can't always understand that cats don't want newcomers in their routines. I promise I will not be mean to Kate. Kate's girl next door calls her Katy Angel. I am not sure how much of an angel Kate is, but I won't say anything. Leftovers tonight. Yum. Toodle Pip.

Well-Adjusted Cats
Katy has been here nearly a week, and it is not unusual to see all three of us in the same room. That is a long way from where we were last week. Katy has learned that we are not threatening her, and we have learned that Katy is not replacing us in Their hearts. Katy is so comfy, in fact, that she doesn't try to get out when the front door is opened. When Katy's people come back, She hopes that they will understand if Katy stays here while they pack to move. It would make all of us nervous wrecks if she went back next door and then came back here in a couple of weeks. He has gotten Katy a scratching post, an automatic waterer and feeder, and some more catnip.
Meanwhile, She has been writing furiously about what is wrong with schools. She is really fired up about all the testing, and complaints about public school. Those are free schools where every kid is supposed to go. Some people pay to send their kids to a different school, but She believes that there are rules that make teachers not teach right, and kids not learn right. Here is what She says about school. Kids need creativity, interaction and evaluation that takes their style of learning into consideration. I don't know what all that means, but it sure makes Her excited. Until tomorrow, my friends, buh-bye.

Clean Car Cats
While He and She were on that boat, and Uncle John was here with us, Her car had to wait outside and it got very messy with leaves and twigs and dust and spots that birds left on the car somehow. Rocky'sMom gave Her a ticket to get a free cleaning for Her car, and today She went and got it cleaned. The nice boys there helped Her to the place where She had to wait, and then helped Her to Her car. She did not admit it for a very long time, but She can't get around very well at all. It makes Her sad to admit that, you know. Anyway, the car looks beautiful. Nice and clean, with no dust and spots. Here is something funny: They found lots of papers and magazines under the seats, that haven't been cleaned for awhile. I can't wait to see what the cleaners found. When Rocky'sMom gets back, they will go to have a nice lunch. That is Her favorite thing to do, and She will be proud of Her car.
Kate is feeling more at home now, and Kasey and I are more willing to be around her. Kasey went to sniff Kate's tail, like she does to me, and Kate told Kasey to stop that. I laughed for an hour.
I hope you have a nice evening, and come back to read my tory tomorrow. Oddy-ose.

Pondering Cats
Today was not for doing, it was for thinking, She said. It all started with the three of us cats continuing to check things out - this time with all three of us in the same place. Kasey sniffled every tiny bit of the round chair where Kate has been resting. If sniffles cost a dollar apiece, Kasey could have made a gazillion dollars in sniffles. Kate was watching all this and didn't seem to mind. This could be a step toward friendship. Now, keep in mind, I am not that good friends with Kasey after all these years, so don't get your hopes too high. Other than that, it was quiet around here. She is still pondering two big things. How to make things better for teachers, and what to do about adjusting friendships. She read that lots of teachers could lose their jobs because of schools running out of money. Then She read about some things that are on the test that all the kids have to pass. What really made smoke come out of Her ears was that there are schools that are getting money and they don't deserve it. Now, you know smoke didn't really come out of Her ears. That's just to tell you how mad She was. I wouldn't be surprised if She comes in here and writes a mean letter to school people. Well, that's OK. I'm through with my story for today. TTYL

Three Cats
That's the way it is now, three cats live here.I guess Katy is going to be with us forever. Katy has stopped crying by the door, so I guess She realizes that we are all inside cats now. I won't tell her that Kasey still tries to escape every so often. It will be easier on her to think we are all following the same rules. There is something in my system that makes it hard for me to be friends with Katy, but I am working on it, and She says I'm doing a good job.
He had to go to a meeting today, and when He came home, He brought chicken in a round box. It was all cooked and crunchy, so that is what They ate for dinner. It was nice to get in on that tonight. I'm glad I got brave enough to get on Her chair. That chicken was quite good..
She told me the money business is all straightened out, so She can pay the right people when the time comes. It is interesting when you own the whole house. Did you know the bank used to do all of that? Now She has to do it Herself. It's OK, She doesn't mind, as long as the money stays where it belongs.
Tomorrow should bring more progress on the Three Cats situation. I'll keep you in the loop. Cheers.

One Paw at a Time Cats
Every day we see improvement in the cat relations around here. Besides that Katy meows quite a lot, we are all getting better at getting back to normal. For instance, I had my butter this morning - three fingers. Katy got some pets and had some treats as well. It seems she is beginning to realize Kasey and I are not a threat to her. Now, if I can work out that she is not a threat to me, we will be really getting someplace.
He and She had some problems with Their bank account. She has been putting money in the bank every month so when it comes time to pay the bills that the bank used to pay for our house, there would be money in the bank. Well, He has been getting it mixed up with another account, and has been paying bills out of it. I know She will laugh about this someday, but this was not the day. I wonder why people have different bank accounts. It's simple, Cofs, She told me. That way we have money when the house bills are due. I didn't want to laugh at Her, but (snerk). Compared to Them, our cat-lives are almost easy. Well, I'll get some snuggles now, and talk to you tomorrow. Bye.
