Puzzled Cats

Today started out kind of regular, but pretty soon She started getting calls and emails about Tori-Tzu's Mom. On Saturday, She believed that it would be T-TZ'sMoms last day. Well, here it is lots of days later, and Tori-Tzu'sMom is still in her special sleep. In one way, She is glad Her friend is not gone, but in another way, She wonders if Her friend is still suffering, just not awake. It is a puzzle, alright. Some of Her friends wonder if they should go to see T-Tz'sMom, but they agree that it would be very strange to watch her sleep. Let's remember her the way she was before she got so sick, She says.
Another puzzle is about His mother. She is still alive, but doesn't like any day that she lives. His mother doesn't know how to think anymore, but she remembers how to say how unhappy she is. That lady is WAY older than T-Tz'sMom, and she makes Him feel bad at least once a day. On the other hand, He really enjoyed talks with T-Tz'sMom. It's another puzzle, there, who stays and who doesn't.
Well, She will try doing some exercise, so She can stay with Kasey and me and Him for a long time. I will go and exercise with Her for awhile. TaTa.

Cats Marking Time

This has been the kind of day when we did regular things. Nothing was an adventure today, because it was one of those days where He and She mostly wondered about things. For example, She went to the store to re-stock the medicine cabinet and get new pills for Her bones. He mainly worked on His story about the ninjas, so He could take the new pages to His group. She told me they critique his pages. It's a funny word, but whatever they do, it helps Him with His story. I believe that She will really celebrate when that story is done. But for today, just regular things - and waiting for news about Tori-Tzu's Mom. Her boy says there is no change, so we will wait and see. I am beginning to notice that there are a lot of things that we wait and see about.
Even if it was not an adventure for us, some of our friends had some new things. LW's Mom is working so very hard on the work she needs to do to be a minister. She is very smart, and has a lot to do besides minister work. She has to care for LW and her sibs. And She is excited for Her OperaGirl. She is going to work at a new job, and besides that, she is getting ready to sing in a new opera. All these busy friends make a regular day an adventure day in a way, too. Do you know what would cheer Her up? Well, snuggles, of course - but also news about Her Eddie. I have a feeling there will be a DVD tonight! Well, I'll do lap duty. chow.

Blue Monday Cats

We are very sad around here today. She calls it Blue Monday, because we just heard that Tori-Tzu'sMom is in a really special sleep, and may not wake up. We feel a special connection to this Mom, because her little d-o-g was visiting with us for a long time. Tori-Tzu was not our favorite visitor, but now we are glad that she is with a nice family. I hope she gets to stay there. T-Tz has had enough puzzles going from there to here to there.
What is making Her even more sad is that Tori-Tzu's Mom is younger than She, and it makes Her think about not waking up. I have had to give Her extra snuggles, to tell Her that She will be just fine. I just hate to see Her so sad, and so does He. He keeps saying there there to Her and She thanks Him for that. Do you know what makes Her feel better? Well, snuggles, for one thing, but also thinking about Her grandchildren. The ones close by, the ones far away, and the ones even farther than that. She wonders what people do who don't have special people to love. Even though She is terribly sad, She still says She is lucky.
There were a lot of catalogs in the mail today. I have a feeling that She will be buying some new things. I heard Her tell Him that there were sales in these catalogs. She loves sales. Well, I love kibbles, so I will go have a snack now, then go back on snuggle duty. Oddy-ose.

Holiday Cats

To some people, today was a special holiday, but not to Him and Her. They celebrate lots of things, like the start of Spring and the flowers and the birds nest in our elm tree. They think that it is nice if other people want to celebrate it, though. What She says is that if people are celebrating, they are happy, and happy people don't fight.
Because of this special day, She thought it wouldn't be a good idea to go on their special brunch visit. The places to eat might be full of people who celebrate the holiday, so She and Mable'sMom had their own brunch. M'sM got special biscuits called scones (I heard Her tell Him) and she made some creamy stuff to put on them. NomNomNom is what She said. What She brought was some fresh fruit in a nice bowl. It even looked good to me, and I don't especially like fruit. That's OK, Coffs, She said. Neither does LW'sMom, and you know We love her.
So She had a nice day, and so did He. Kasey and I should have a lot of fun watching TV with Them tonight.
I hope you people who read my stories had a nice day, too. Happy Spring!

Other Cats

Today I am thinking about my cousins who live all over the place. One cousin, Smudge, I have told you about. He is my cat cousin who lives close to me. Smudge has a brother named fraNkie, and an old auntie named Trixie. You would love Smudge. Sometimes he writes a blog, when hisMom leaves the computer on. fraNkie has two sisters named Tabitha and Sookie, and they live at LW's house. Of course Katy-next-door lives even closer, and so does her husband. I think Katy's husband thinks he lives here. They give him food and pets every day. I have 2 cousins that live far away with Her Mazie. Their names are Clack and Black Kitty. Even farther away are my cousins Nick and Lion. They live at Her OperaGirl's house, and they are very smart and handsome. My farthest-away cousin is a cat named Ollie. He does funny things that make his humans laugh, and when She reads about him, She laughs, too. He is young, and I am trying to teach him thngs that will make him as smart as me. Of course, you know about Kasey. She is not my cousin, she is my sister, but she is not at all like me. I am a snuggle-bug and a purr-factory, and Kasey is - well - quiet and not snuggly at all. I love having this big family. We are all safe and comfy, which is how you want cats to be. She wants to watch a program, so I'll go sit on Her lap. Have a nice sleep.

Sleepy Cats

First of all, He washed Kasey's beloved blue blanket, and she has not gotten off of it all day! She loves her blue blanket, As you can see from the picture at the end. When Tori-Tzu was here, I sometimes got on Kasey's blanket, and it kind of bothered her. Kasey would not get on it. So He washed it - and the rest is history. I, myself, have been sleeping on the big table, where our water is. Except for a nice snuggle, I have been snoozing a lot today, as well. They don't care. They were busy with regular stuff.
One thing She did was go to the store for the basics. That's what she calls the stuff that fills up the freezer and refrig for the month. Do you remember those papers I helped Her with? She took those to the store, and they paid for lots of Her food. She was chuffed. One bunch of food She got was for making gumbo. It is made of rice and beans and vegetables Lots of vegetables. He loved having that. You are suposed to put meat in it, but you know about Him - no meat. So She put some meat in Her bowl, so both of them were happy. I had a little taste myself, and it is better with meat. So now I have to write my story before She comes to turn off the computer. She will wait until tomorrow to check on Her OperaGirl and Tori-Tzu's Mom.
Well, I'm not so sleepy rightnow, so I think I'll go and chase Kasey off the blanket. (snerk)

April Fool Cats

This is the first day of April, and She tells me to be very careful, because it is a day for playing tricks. So far, we haven't played any tricks, except I told Her I wanted pets, and then I ran away. Oh, and instead of sitting on the floor by Her chair to get my butter today, I got up on the table. It made Her chuckle, and I had five fingers of butter before I got down. He and She don't do tricks on each other. She said that would be mean, because we are all supposed to trust each other, and you can't do anything mean.
What She did this afternoon was to go and get Her breathing tested. She runs out of breath very easily, and the doc said to check Her breathing. It wasn't a hard test, She said. She had to breathe into a machine, then another machine, then the first machine again. She said She just felt a little silly doing that.
His mother called today and asked Her if They wanted to go to a Catholic church service on Sunday. She tried not to laugh at her,but they are SO not Catholic, She says. His mother doesn't know what day it is, so She wouldn't expect His mom to know that. If I ever get like that, just shoot me, She tells Him. I would NOT like that to happen!
I'll try to think up a trick to play on Kasey, and I promise it won't be a mean trick. Maybe I'll eat some kibbles out of her bowl. Beware of tricks!
