Rainy Day Cat

Right now it is dark outside, as if it is night, but it is not night. We haven't even had our supper yet! It is thundering, and She might need some snuggles. Katy's mom came over in the rain, because she is young and can run fast. She can't run at all, but She says that is OK, because She is not in any hurry anymore. I don't know what that means.
Yesterday, She was as happy as Kasey in catnip! She got to play with LW all afternoon, and then LW's sibs, when they came home from school. She loves to do that, and even if She can't run, She can play! She told Him that it keeps Her young!
Today She had lunch with Deena's Mom, and they didn't care it was raining! She loves Deena's Mom! I heard her tell Him in a quiet voice that Deena got loose and had an awful time in a stormy night. She did not want me to hear that, because She knew I would NOT like it! But it turns out that Deena is now safe at home, so I can relax. Don't tell Her I heard Her tell Him. They don't like me to feel upset.
Oooh! More thunder. I had better go and comfort Her! Bye now.

Nervous Cat

Today I might need to go and hide in the closet. I am nervous because She and Smudge's Mom are talking about a road trip. I know that means She wants to go away for awhile, and I don't want Her to go! While He is in school, there is no one here to take care of me if She goes away. I don't mean to be selfish, but His snuggles are not like Hers, and Kasey stays with Him whenever He is home. The one who takes care of ME is Her! And Smudge needs someone, too. Smudge's dad goes away all day, too, and Smudge's Aunt Trixie might just biff him! Trixie is a cat like Kasey, not like me. Maybe if I lie on a blanket in the closet, I will feel better. Or maybe She will think a road trip isn't a good idea. Or maybe Smudge's Mom will be too busy. Or something!
Well, in the meantime, She has Mable's Mom to check on, and Deena's Mom to have lunch with. And me to give snuggles and skritches to. I'll worry about the road trip later.
Off for the closet now. Toodle pip.

Cat-Trick

You will never believe what I did! If She hadn't seen it with Her own eyes, She wouldn't have thought it could happen! Here's what I did: I got on the bed and curled up on Kasey's beloved blue blanket - just to see what it was like! I curled up and got all cozy, like Kasey does, but when She saw me, She called Him, and I knew I had better get down. But for a minute there..........I admit the blanket IS soft and nice, but if Kasey would have seen me, I would be cat stew right now! Kasey would hiss and yow and bite and biff, because that is what she does when she is angry.
Today, She was especially happy, because His class was canceled and he came home early. Then, She got an email from Deena's mom, and they made a plan to have lunch together later. That put a big smile on her face! She is off in the kitchen now, to fix a ham she got for dinner. He said He wanted some ham, so She got enough for dinner and sandwiches. He almost never asks for something special, so when he does, She fixes it. When everyone is happy, there are plenty of snuggles for me. Promise you won't tell Kasey about you-know-what? A-doo for now.

Dog-Gone

I don't mind telling you, Cleo has gone home with her people, and I am relieved. Yes, Cleo is a good friend, but she is, after all, a d-o-g, and the two kinds of us have our issues. Kasey does not have issues, but then, she is a different kind of cat than me. She is a rude cat, and Cleo knows to not try to be friends with her.
This morning, it rained very hard, and thundered, so I had to give Her some snuggles. I don't want Her to be nervous, you know. I huddled very close under Her chin, so She would not be afraid. Cleo barked at the thunder, and it was a big noise, but kind of funny, too. She and I kind of chuckled at that. She says she misses Cleo when she's not here. I say Humph to that!
LW and her sibs talked to Her on the phone and said they liked seeing the Easter Bunny, but didn't say how much candy they got. LW's big brother said they ate breakfast lunch AND dinner there. She is so happy that they had fun.
I am going to walk all around the house to show how glad I am that Cleo has gone home. Oddyose.

A Dog Blog

Here's the way it is going with Cleo. She is really good company, if you can get used to how big she is. She likes us and tries to go where we are. She only ate our cat food once and when She said, Cleo, don't eat the kitties' food, she stopped right away. Do you suppose she thought it was refreshments for company? He and She do that when They have company. Kasey walks right past Cleo's nose and Cleo just sits there. Maybe she can understand cat-language, and knows that Kasey likes to be left alone. I don't like to go past Cleo's nose, because it is very close to her big teeth! I think I remember a dog chasing me before I came here to live. I am just more careful than Kasey.
He and She are very excited for LW and her sibs. They are going to see the EasterBunny in person! I hope the bunny gives them lots of candy. That makes LW happy, and that is what makes Them happy. One of LW's sisters has the tickets, but she promised Her that she would take everyone. I don not like bunnies, personally, and I don't like candy. But I do like happy! I think I will go have a nap in the closet - just to be on the safe side. Toodles.

A Dog's Tale

OK, Here's what is going to happen tonight. Cleo's people are going to bring her over and they will leave her here! Cleo comes to stay with us when her people go out of town, and this weekend they are going to see Cleo's girls, very far away. They are going to stay overnight, maybe even two, and while they are gone, Cleo will stay with us. She is a nice dog, but a dog none-the-less. She eats our food, and she sniffles, sniffles, sniffles us. Kasey climbs to the top shelf of the closet while Cleo is here, but Cleo doesn't care. And He will put our food and litterboxes in Their room, and shut the door. It all works out. We are not scared of Cleo anymore, and she is not scared of us. She doesn't want to eat us. She knows this is our house, too. I guess you could say Cleo is a good friend, too, for a dog. I have more friends than I thought! I will still be glad when Cleo goes home - but don't tell Her. He and She would be disappointed to know that.
Right now, She wants to look at pictures of Her grandson, Eddie, that her friends took yesterday, so I will sign off and go watch for Cleo to come. More later.

A Lesson Today

Today I learned how dangerous it can be to have friends. For example, my dear friend, Smudge, went out of his house without permission, and he got lost. It hurt my heart to hear about that, and I almost learned how to cry! So having friends can really hurt your heart if something happens to them But then, Smudge's Mom called Her and said Smudge has come home, and then my heart stopped hurting. I already know how to laugh, so I laughed when I heard that Smudge was safe. In fact, my heart felt so good that I decided that it is way worth it to have Smudge for a friend, even if we had a hurting emergency.
Today, She said, there were so many of Her beloved Crones that they needed to have two tables put together! She says that having your heart hurt every so often is worth it, when you can be with your friends. One best friend She has is Him, and She brought Him home a nice big salad as a treat. She told me that it IS a danger to have friends, but it is very, very worth it.
I will try to explain this to Kasey, but I don't think she'll get it. me-out. (Get it?)
