Treats and Greets

Whenever Kasey hears someone coming in, She gets off her blue blanket and goes to jump on the table. She has trained Them to give her treats when They come in. They think it is kind of cute, but I can't understand why they like to be tricked like that. Lately, Kasey gets on Her desk, where the Inbox is, and looks hungry, so that She will give her treats in there! I have told Her not to give in to Kasey, but She pretends She doesn't understand - and gives Kasey treats! If She doesn't get the treats right away, Kasey goes to where the treats are and sniffles them, and looks at Her as if to say here they are, you doofus! Give me some!. One of these days, Kasey is going to get a tummyache, and then They will feel sorry for her. I know she is my sister, but sometimes I just have to shake my head and wonder why anyone thinks she is charming!
Today She is thinking a lot about Smudge's Mom, who has gone far away to be with her family because her father is sick. I know that will make him feel better, because Smudge's Mom always makes Her feel better.
She told Him that Mazie got her popcorn for Halloweeen. She can't believe that Mazie is so grown up that she emails Her. It does ticke Her pink, though!
I'm going to get some pets now. She gave me a good brushig, and I am soft when She pets me. We both like that. TTYL

Kindness and Friends

Today She met with Her Crone friends, and She says that just being with them makes her feel good! It doesn't matter what is going on in the world, She says. Her friends put everything in its place. I know that I feel like that when I have had a sad thing happen. She and He are my friends, and they help me feel good. Her Crones are nice, She says, because they understand. Deena's Mom is Her friend, too. Some of Her friends are younger than Crones, and they are good for cheer. And Her favorite friend is He. They have been friends for the longest. They were friends, and then they got married. Marriages are best when you marry a friend. That is what She says. I am not married, because I don't have any cat friends except Kasey, and she is not all that friendly. I have people friends, and that is good.
She also gets cheer from Her Eddie Friends. They are all over the place, and they care about each other, which friends do. One of Her Eddie friends is a tooth person, and She says She will get in trouble if this friend finds out She lost another tooth! So shhhhh. Don't tell. She will have to tell LW's next sister, though, because she is losing her teeth, too. But hers will grow back!
Someone is at the door. I think it's Katy-next-door, looking for treats. I'll go check. Seeyalater.

She Hurts

How can I be upset with Her when She heard news that made her so sad. It is bad enough, She says, when old people die. That is bad enough, because you have to learn to do without them. When a younger person dies, though, She hardly knows what to say. That is strange for Her, because saying things is what She does. They have some favorite music friends who moved far away - farther than Mazie - and their son moved with them. The son came to see them a lot when he lived close by, and always helped with big and little jobs. He was not much older than LW's Mom and Dad, but he died in his sleep one night, and no one knew anything was wrong with his heart! It will take Her awhile to get used to this.
I have been tryng to cheer Her up today. When She is sad, She wants to be cheered up. I reminded Her that She has cats to brush, and She has some popcorn treats. She had a lovely day with Deena's Mom yesterday, and She has a program She likes to watch tonight She has talked to Cleo's Mom, and checked with all her computer friends, so I will bet you a bunch of kibbles that She will feel better tomorrow. Rest in Peace, Betsy's Boy.

Oh, No! She Didn't!

Please note that I am officially pouting. She went off to Deena's house without us, but She thought we might be scared of Deena. We wouldn't, but I can understand that She might think so. What I cannot take so easily is that She had salmon for Her lunch at Deena's! Of course, you would think She would bring some home to her beloved cats -- but NO! She didn't! To tell the truth, She said, She was having such a nice time with Deena's Mom that She forgot. All I can say is Hmmph. She just loves Deena's Mom and that is fine, but She needs to remember that we are starving over here! Only kibbles and butter and treats. Well - maybe not starving, but..........It was salmon, after all.
Smudge's Mom has gone far away - farther than Mazie even, to help her family. I know She will be lonesome for her. It means that Smudge's Mom will miss lunch with the Crones, and they are trying a new place. She really wanted S'sM's opinion. But She said you've gotta help when the spirit says help. S'sM knows that, and so does She. In fact She feels so sorry about S'sM's emergencies that I might just forgive her for the salmon thing.
All this talk about salmon has made me hungry. I will settle for kibbles now. toodles.

Cat Hides

I guess She thinks She is funny. When She can't find us, She says we are making cat hides. I don't get it. She says She was once in a big park in Montana, and there were signs posted every mile or so. They said to watch out for the buffalo. Well, She didn't see any buffalo on the whole ride, so She said that's where they get the saying buffalo hides. Sometimes I just laugh at Her because She is laughing, even if I don't get the joke. That's OK, Coffster, She says. It is laughing we're after, not the jokes.
One reason She is so happy today is that He and Mable's Boy got his mother moved into a better room in the place where she lives. He says His mother is so confused that she doesn't know the difference, but she thinks it means that He is moving in to her old apartment. I can tell you She laughed out loud at that idea.
Some of Her friends have gone to see Eddie's movie, and some are going next week. It is not coming to where we live, but She is glad Her friends can see it. He will be there in person, She says.
Well, I am going to hide again. Maybe She will skip the joke this time. Bon joor.

Cat-Fish

When Her beloved Mazie used to come over, before she moved so far away, She used to give Mazie fish sticks, french fries and ketchup. That was her favorite thing for lunch. When She went to the store, She automatically got fish sticks, french fries and ketchup! Habits are hard to break, She said. So, tonight She is fixing the fish sticks, and since He only eats vegetables, She will have them all to Herself, and She will dedicate the dinner to Mazie. I will surely remind Her who else likes fish (ahem) and hope She is in the mood to share.
Things are moving quickly about getting His mother in a new room. They just have to move her things, and He will see if Mable's boy will help Him with that. She is very pleased that His Mother is finally moving, becaue it will save some money, and you know how She is about THAT.
Another thing that is making Her happy is that She will be seeing Deena's Mom this weekend! She told me She likes that even better than I like fish, and that is quite a lot. They have a lot in common, She says, and that means they have known each other a long time, and that they think alike. Deena's Mom makes Her feel cheerful!
I will go and get a good place to look at Her fish and get big, hungry eyes. That always works. TTYL

Thursday Cats

Around here, we like Thursday, because He comes home earlier and has a chance to get some rest. He gets tired very easily, and She thinks it may be because He is sad about His school. She is sorry someone told Him He needed to go back to work. After He was retired almost ten years, His drawing business has changed. That's why He needed to go back to school. His mother was costing a lot of money. Well, She is the one that fusses about money, and She says there is enough. She will keep trying to convince him. Kasey and I wish Her luck. Actually, Kasey doesn't care, as long as there are kibbles and treats. I am more likely to worry.
Anyway, as long as there are bargains, She will see that Her Alphas and Mazie and Cleo's girls get happy surprises. She just loves bargains and coupons and deals. She says that saves a lot of money. Besides, now that He only eats vegetables, the groceries are not so much money! That tickles Her pink. Don't think so much about money, Coffster, She says to me. We will always have enough! I promise. That makes me feel better. Besides, She had fun with her Eddie people today, and all Her computer friends.
Sorry to leave you, but I need a bite to eat right now. A-doo.
