Knackered Cats

When we try to keep up with Her on a day like this, it just wears us out. If She is going here and there, it is not easy to get snuggles and pets, and we try to follow Her. Then, today
She went out with a list of errands to do and didn't come home for a long time. It is not easy to rest while She is gone, especially if He has gone, too. So Kasey and I keep watchful for strange sights, and listenful for strange noises. By the time She got home, we were ready to just have a rest. The funny thing is that She was just as knackered, from going around on Her errands. She didn't get everything done at that. She wants a delicate frame, She says, for Her new Soft Flowers picture, and She didn't see just the right thing. She knows what She wants, and He may have to make it for Her. Right now, we are all too tired to think about it. So She rolled the picture back up and said Tomorrow is another day.
Do you know what would make it all OK? If there would be fish for dinner. I happened to see Her put away some cabbage stuff that goes nicely with fish. Kasey and I don't like it, but He and She do, and it would be perfect to have with fish. You know that every day has a bright spot, even when you are tired and need some pets and a nap. She is working a puzzle right now, so I will join Her for some lap-time. TTYL.

Bargain Cats

Someone called and said that They had something waiting at the store, so when He went to have lunch with His mother, She went to pick up the packages. They like this store, because they use a special card that gives them some money off every time they use it. She sort of hit the jackpot, because when She paid, they gave He a paper for money off something She likes. She bought that and some other stuff They need, and when She paid for those things, She got ANOTHER paper for money off a lunch pizza. When She went to get that, She remembered that they needed coffee-the-drink beans, and She had a card for THAT left over from Christmas, so that fancy coffee did not cost Her anything! She was almost singing by now. And She had a little pizza for Her lunch!
She sid that if She had any more good luck, the store would have to pay Her to leave. Some days are just like that.
Besides that, it was a regular Sunday, with a paper to read and cats to play with. They talked about what is on TV, and She said She wishes She could see the show that Her beloved Eddie is going to be in. It starts pretty soon. Since it only goes for 8 weeks, maybe they could get it and cancel it later. Would that be fair? Hmmm. We will have to think about that. Since She has traveled far away to see Her Eddie, it might work to spend a little bit of money. I'll tell you about it when I know the answer. Chow for now.

Playful Cats

Ever since Mazie was here to visit, Kasey has been having fun with the green mouse on a string. She will play with it by herself, but her favorite is when He or She hold the stick and wave it around. I have never seen Her so tickled pink with Kasey before. This playing is a new thing, you remember, and now Kasey wants to play every day. I mostly just watch, but it is kind of funny for me to see Kasey acting so silly, since she has always been kind of an uppity cat, sniffling at people trying to get her to play.
It was happy news again today, when the postman came. It seems that She is still getting birthday presents. Today a white tube came in the mail, and when She opened the top, she carefully removed a picture that had Him and Her making funny noises, like oooooh and aaaaah. It is a beautiful picture of some flowers. She says its named soft flowers. It is from Her beloved OperaGirl, who takes pictures like an angel, She says. They are going to go to a special place and have it put into a frame, and then She will hang it on the wall where everyone can see it. Our house is full of Her OG's pictures, but She still wants more.
We aren't having fish tonight, but the meat She is fixing has nice gravy on it, which I will taste to be sure it is good (snerk). More news tomorrow.

Squeeling Cats

Today we had to squeel to accompany Her. When He got the mail, there was a packet from Her beloved OperaGirl, and inside were 12 squeelmakers. At least, that's what it sounded like to Kasey and me. There were 12 cards to make into letters and notes, and each one had that picture of Her and Her beloved Eddie. It is the same as the picture in our living room I think you know that Her OperaGirl took that picture, so OG had it made into these little cards. When She opened to packet, that's when we all squeeled. Of course She had to look at every single card, even though they were all alike. She was way more happy than you could describe as chuffed. I guess She was squeechuffled.
She probably would have spent the rest of the day squeeling about those cards, but She had an appointment. It was with Katy'sGirls school, and She wanted to make sure that K'sG was getting all the right schoolwork, and that the school knew how adorable she is. Maybe it was left over from Her new packet of cards, but She was pleased with the way the school is caring for Katy'sGirl, They understand that she is quiet and shy, and when a person or a cat is like that (ahem) you can't just say stop being quiet and shy, you have to help them. She will keep checking, though.
I bet you can guess what She is having for our dinner. Yes, leftover pizza. I am glad, because it tasted very good. Later, gator

Nice Day Cats

Ever since He woke up, this has been a nice day. He made sure our kibbles were in our diishes, and water was in our cups. He fed the birds and got Her paper. By this time, She was up and playing with us. You would not believe how Kasey loves to play with that green, fuzzy mouse. Mazie must have pushed the right button on Kasey, because she had never been interested in that toy before. If She doesn't play with her, Kasey plays by herself. I don't get it. When She dangles it for me, I just bite the string. I guess She doesn't like that, because She looks unhappy when I do that. Maybe I learned to play before I came to live here, but I don't remember. My best tricks are snuggleing, massaging and purring. She says that is a perfect set of tricks, and maybe someday I will play with a mouse and have fun.
This is the day that He goes to His meeting. He missed it last week, but He is surely going today. When He goes, She is planning to go to get a nice pizza. She has a birthday card with money, and She will use that, so She will hit the jackpot - getting a nice pizza, paying for it with a birthday card, and not having to tempt him with the meat on the pizza! Here's a big plus: I like the meat on the pizza, too. Nice day, nice pizza, nice bargain. All of our favorites! Chow, bellas.

El Gatos

Kasey and I live in a place called Texas, and a really really long time ago, longer than They have been alive put together, longer than l'ancienne even has been alive, this place used to be its own country. Before then, it was part of a place where everyone spoke another language. In that language, the words that say cats is el gatos. I put that for my title today, because there were bad feelings between Texas and the other place, but Texas was once part of it. After a few years, Texas became part of the USA, and that's where we are now. So it makes Her sad that so many people don't like the old country's people. She doesn't understand it. Some of those people have families that have lived here for a huge lot of years. Another language, skin that is dark from the sun, and nothing besides that that is different. It makes my head sore to think about it, so let's go on to better news.
Things have been kind of smooth around here today. They worked on helping Him find a tooth guy that didn't cost so much, and She got some de-Cluttering done. Do you know, we could de-Clutter around here every day, and the next day there would be more clutter. Her excuse used to be that She might need stuff for Her work, but She does not teach school anymore, so now what's the excuse? Well, I will just relax and go see what She is fixing for our dinner. Oddy-ose.

March Cats

Today She changed the calendars to March. The first day of March means the end of Her month-long birthday celebration. He had to laugh at Her when She said She was sorry to see it go. Does that mean You will miss all that ice and cold He said. That made Her agree that it was OK to be March. Another thing that made Her glad is that Smudge'sMom is home from her plane ride far away.
Every so often the paper sends a letter saying that She needs to pay for Her morning paper. Every time the letter comes, She says She doesn't need that paper. He says He knows She likes to read the paper while we have our breakfast, and She sends in the money. Here's what He told me. It makes up for missing the news every night because She wants to watch the guy with the fake news. Don't tell Her He said that. because She thinks He likes to watch that guy, too.
His ears feel better today, and He went to see the tooth guy. It is His turn to get a bunch of fixed-up teeth. He doesn't need fake ones, which is lucky.
She feels kind of sad for Her OperaGirl, because that nice lady did not have a good weekend. She says She wanted to get on an airplane and go and give Her OG some hugs. I am sure glad She didn't do that, because I like Her to be here with me. Feel better, OperaGirl. May is coming! "Night, everyone.
