What's Clutter?

Today LW's Mom was talking about de-cluttering your life inside and out. When She heard it, She said it was brilliant, but I don't get it. If there is a pile of paper on the table, it makes a good place for Kasey and me to rest. We prefer that to the hard table. When She runs her shredder, it makes an awful noise and I have to run away. When He picks up all the toys on the floor, Kasey and I just have to knock them down again. She told Him we all need to clear our minds of useless stuff so we have room for new ideas. She says she loves that idea, but my mind has all the ideas anycat could ever want. Stalking, eating kibbles and butter, poking Kasey, having a nap.......what else is important? She says love is important, but I don't need to clear a space for that. I am made out of love! Now, Kasey could use some work on that, but when I try to tell her, she just turns her back and says "Leave me alone." I was going to try harder to understand, but it made me tired, so I will just find a patch of sunshine and lie down for a snooze. Toodle Pip.

Scaredy-Cat?

You will have to forgive me if I seem out of sorts. I was very busy stalking something imaginary near the refrigerator. When the toaster popped up, I jumped straight up in the air, and She laughed at me! I was just showing off my great reflexes, but She called me Scaredy-Cat! She SO does not understand my motives, and I am feeling quite glum. I refused to eat any butter today, and did not give Her even one snuggle. I am sure that is teaching Her a lesson, and things will return to normal tomorrow. I ran around the house quite energetically, to show Her I am in control, and name-calling is not necessary. I am completely knackered now, and will find a nice, safe place - no, make that a daring place - to nap. As my dear friend says, Poodle Tip (get it?)

Cat-ch Up

The man who came to visit Her was a jolly fellow, but her smelled of dog, so I kept my distance. The man said he liked cats, but you can't be too careful. Kasey climbed up to take a closer look, but the guy tried to pet her and she escaped. I got up on Her lap, but She was paying attention to the dog-guy and didn't give me snuggles, so I left, too. She says They have some long-term care, which makes me laugh, because They are the ones who take care. Why would They need care? Kasey and I give them something to take care of, and we give them snuggles in return. At least I do. Kasey has never given a snuggle to Her. Not once. I was tempted to offer Kasey to the dog-guy, to get her out of here, but He wouldn't stand for it! Kasey is sort of His cat, and not for me to give away, He says.
Anyway, Mable's mom is still sore, and has to go to the doc today, and She is hoping they have some magic medicine so that M'sM will be fine and ready to go back to work. M's M loves her work, just like She did, when She went to work. I have to find Kasey and biff her. Don't tell! bye.

Cat-egories

I guess you know there are many kinds of cats. Some are obvious, like Kasey, who is a tortoiseshell. You can tell by her markings. Some cats are splotchy with a bunch of colors. Those cats are all girls, She says. Calico, She says - but I just call them splotchy, and I am glad I am not like that, because then I would have to be a girl! Some are striped, and She says Her favorites are black and white. I say Hmph to that! Now, I am all one color, mostly, although I have some stripes here and there. You can see in my picture. So She says I am not an orange tabby like the espeeceeay said. She says I am a mystery. One thing she thinks is that I am partly a Maine Coon cat, because I am so BIG. Do you know how hard it is for a big cat like me to stalk things? I have to pretend I am a panther, sometimes!
She is so happy Mable's Mom is better. She is so happy that she is sending LW's family to see the easter bunny. I would like to meet that dude myself. Mmmmm, bunny. Delicious.
Toodles for now

Bagels and Butter

Every day She has a bagel for her breakfast. She puts lots of butter on it so that She can share the butter with me. If She tries to change from bagels, I will be very upset, unless it is something to put butter on! When she got out her bagel today, She saw there was only one left, and we were very worried. She told me not to panic, and She got dressed in warm clothes and went to the bagel store. You have to get there early, before they run out of the good kinds, She says. Sometimes He gets Her enough bagels for a whole month at a time. He is a really good person like that. Now that He is in his school so much He doesn't have time to go to that far-away bagel store. He does lots of nice things for Her, and so I go sit on His lap, to show Him I appreciate Him. She says we look cute like that. Cute? I am thinking it is more like handsome!
I must go and find Kasey, now, just to play chase with her before my nap. Do you know what Her Brit friend started to say? Poodle tip. Get it?

A Cat's Eye View

Honestly, I thought She would never get away from this computer! She has a busy day today, and she didn't seem to care that I have something to say! She loves the Tea Room, and that is where Deena's Mom took her for lunch. It is always nice for Her to see Deena's Mom, and She wakes up smiling on those days. Then, She wanted to go and see Mable's Mom. She told Him that if She knows Mable's Mom, she would be up on her sore legs doing housework! When She goes over there, She will make a mean face, to get M'sM to sit and do nothing , but She knows it won't work. Oh, well, She says some people lack the veg-out gene.
I do not lack that gene, and I have spotted an excellent patch of sunshine on the floor in His office, so I will go in there and get some much-needed rest. (yawn) TTYL

Snuggle-Bug

Did you ever have one of those days when you just could NOT get enough snuggles? Well, I am having a day like that today. I have tried napping and playing with the flowers. I have eaten a bunch of kibble, but suddenly, I feel hungry for snuggles, and have to jump up on Her chair or into Her lap. She always makes the time for me and only gets cross when I give her a little love-nip. Don't bite me, She says, but She still pets me. Maybe it is the weather. Maybe there was something in today's butter. Or maybe I feel so sad for Mable's Mom...........or maybe I just like to hear Her say that I am Her little Snuggle-Bug. That's kind of funny, because I am a very big cat. Check with me tomorrow, to see if I get over this snuggle thing. I am not as rude as Kasey, but I would like to be more dignified! Snuggle-Bug, indeed! Later.
