In the Air

Can you tell there is something in the air today? I could tell when I smelled the spicy, warm bagel that popped up in the toaster today. It was one of the special ones that Deena's Mom gave Her. I had 8 fingers of butter, that bagel was so good! Even Kasey came and sniffled her finger, but she ran away and didn't taste it. Luckily for me. It was my 8th finger of bbutter!
One thing that has Her tickled pink is that She will see LW and the Alphas tomorrow. Don't tell, but She has a surprise for LW's Mom. (Snerk) Later She might go to a movie with Her friends. He won't go, because He doesn't like movies with chickens in them. He calls them chick flicks. But He will meet with Dudley's Mom (We have never seen Dudley) and they will talk about computer business. She is excited that He is interested in another project. Just so it doesn't cost money, this time, She says. She is very particular about money!
The most exciting thing is that She is cooking spaghetti for Their supper. There is some pretend sausage for Him and meatballs for Her. Life goes on, She says.
I have to go look out the window. I think Katy is in the yard. TTYL.

Cat Comments

There is a lot to comment on today. This morning, Kasey was very upset about the cat at the door. It was the daddy of Katy's kittens, and he was yowing very loudly for some kibbles. Naturally, She brought him some kibbles and put them by the front door. He is a very loud yower, and also very hungry. Kasey says he's a bum, and not to share with him, but They just say it is easier than hearing him yow.
One thing that had Her feeling tickled pink today was Her lunch with Deena's Mom. We really love Deena's Mom. Today she brought us some bagels, which are a great place for butter, (ahem) in case She wants to give butter to anycat. I was so happy to see those lovely bagels, but She said I have to wait until tomorrow for my butter. OK, I'll wait, but that butter will be SOOOO good!
On the way home from Her lunch, She stopped and got some food for Him, made out of vegetables. It is supposed to taste like real food, and She will fix spaghetti for Their supper. She'll do that tomorrow, because tonight She is having the rest of Her lunch. She brought it home, because She had a pie that was extremely tall. At least that is what She told Him. I have never seen anything like that, and She says I am not likely to. I think I'll give her some extra snuggles now, because I smell shrimp, and I need to have her think of Her cat when She eats them! Toodle Pip.

Hail to the Chief

I thought She was never going to get off the computer yesterday! She was just trying to ignore all the stuff She has to do, I believe. But one thing She accomplished was signing up to go to work for the President's people today. She really likes this President, and wants him to get some plan for health care for everyone. I don't think this includes cats, but if it Makes Her happy, it is fine with us. So She is telling everyone about Her chance to help the cause. Sometimes it is a waste of time, She says, because so many people around here want him to fail. That just makes Her want to work all the harder. I expect some major snuggles when She gets back from this work!
She is thinking about our Auntie Lisa, and hoping she is doing fine. She also wonders if Frankie ever came back to Smudge's house. She is excited for Mable's boy, too, because he got a nice job for while he finishes school. One thing that makes Her tickled pink is that Her grandchildren taught Her to do something really hard on the computer. She has tried so many times, but today it worked! She is really ready to go and help the President! I'll just wait for Her in a comfy spot. Toodles.

A Cat Chat

It was an interesting day today, and we got a lot done. I had several fingers of butter to start with, and that gave me energy to stalk things and chase my sister. He and She are working on getting some money things arranged, so that his mother can stay in her place. That makes Him feel better, especially. He had the energy to cut the lawn, so we don't get one of those letters that make Her angry. He has been much better since He started taking the right medicine, and She is so happy about that!
Another nice thing was that She got to have coffee this afternoon with Mable's Mom. They have to get in all the fun things they can, because school starts in just 12 days, and She loves to have coffee and lunches with M'sM. When She got home, She told him about a thing called a frozen moka. It is like coffee, but it is icy and you drink it with a straw. You have to drink it slowly, She says, or you get a brain freeze. That sounds very dangerous. Anyway, She says, if you drink it slowly, it will last longer. That may be a joke. I am not sure.
Many things have come in the mail in boxes, so Kasey is pleased. I guess it is Her Christmas shopping. She is not cheap, She says. She is a bargain hunter! I am a things-on-the-floor hunter, so I must go now, and stalk some things before She picks them up. TTYL.

Clever Cats and Kittens

Guess who came to see us last night. It was Katy's 4 kittens, who are 4 weeks old. That means they are too little to leave their mommy, but they can come to see us in their box. Katy's Mom and Katy's Girl brought them over and it was a good way to cheer Her up, after Her sad-happy day. Katy waited outside. There are 3 girls and 1 boy, and they are all gray, like Katy, except for one, who is striped, like their dad. Katy's Mom wants to find good homes for them. K'sM said she would take them to a pet store, but She doesn't like the idea. Put an ad in the paper, She said. Put an ad in the web site of where we live. They cannot come live with us, because they have claws, and we don't. Kasey was very watchful and told Her we don't need any kittens! She held each one, and Kasey did not like that one bit. Kasey sat at the table and just watched all this holding and cuddling. Kasey told Her that those kittens were not cute, and said she would hiss if they came back! Kasey is quite rude to visitors.
We watched a picture about a cat who plays the piano. He and She thought it was wonderful, and watched some of them twice. I asked politely if we could have a piano so I could do that. Kasey said hmmph. She laughed and said a piano was not likely, but maybe we could go and play at LW's house someday. LW has a piano.
All that watching has made me sleepy. Nitey Nite.

She Needs Us

Today She was smiling and crying at the same time. He and She were so happy to go and visit Mazie and her family and friends. They took a big bag of presents, because Mazie has a birthday in a few days. They also took Mazie's oldest brother, because he lives close to Them. Yes, She was happy and excited and full of pets and skritches for me, extra butter, and treats for Kasey. When They got close to Mazie's house, She started to choke up. He told us She was brave through the whole lunch, but when it was time to leave, She thought She might not see them again, at least for a long, long time, because Mazie's Dad has a wonderful new job very very far away. She is happy about that, so it makes Her smile. She is sad that they are going so soon, and who knows when She will see her darling kid again. So She is smiling and crying - and I am waiting to give her lots of snuggles.
Oh, yes - Mazie liked her big bag of birthday presents. A peculiar day. I'm glad They are home. Oh-ree-vwar.

Mable's Mom

One of our favorite friends is Mable's Mom. M'sM is a truly good person, She says, and does not deserve all the sad things that have happened to her! First, M'sM had a bad fall, and was hurting very much for a long time. She also has something wrong with her heart, which both of Them say just can't be right, because her heart is made of gold. She has had to see doctors for both those things. Then her glasses broke, and M's M can't even see without her glasses, so she can't drive, or read, or play on her computer. I know how bad she and Mable must feel about all these problems. What She says is now everything needs to be just wonderful for M'sM, because there has been enough bad going on. I hope She is right, because Kasey and I love Mable's Mom, too. She really understands about cats, even though Mable is a d-o-g.
We know that LW's sibs have two of Smudge's little sisters, and we are very excited about that. Smudge's brother, who got whispered in just like Smudge, escaped from the carrier on the way to the vet. Smudge said he will come right back home if he knows what's good for him. Living outside is a hard life. We are glad we can live inside and get kibbles and water and snuggles. I'll tell you when I learn more. Bye, now.
