Friend Cats

For a lot of years, She has loved meeting with Her dear Crones. By now, several have moved away, some have died, and some have lives too busy to meet with fellow Crones. The last time they met, She was sorry to see only a few people were there. Oh, She was happy to see the people that DID come, but one of the Crones suggested a change. Let's change the name to Friends and open up membership to people of all ages. She has always had Pre-Crones, who were almost old enough to be Crones, and Cronelets, who were young and interesting. Now, let's call them all Friends, and not have an age limit. In fact, let's invite guys, if there is something fun for them. She is glad they will keep on having the same schedule. She really looks forward to seeing these Friends.
There was a birthday card in the mail for Her from Mazie and her family. Mazie had made a picture of roses and butterflies. There was also a card She can use like money. She was really chuffed to get that.
She is really looking forward to watching one of Her new movies. All the ladies at lunch were talking about it. She will be thinking of Han'sGran when She watches that movie, because that's who gave it to Her. Don't know what's for dinner, except I know there will be cake. I'll go check. Osta la veesta.

Celebrating Cats

You know I don't much care to have Her go away from our house, but She was so happy getting ready, and SO happy when She came home, that I couldn't feel sorry that She went away. It was a special birthday celebration with Hana'sGran, and H'sG always makes Her smile. Her birthday is not for a while, but She and Hana'sGran decided to celebrate it on Her beloved Eddie's birthday. They went to that favorite place where they make the wonderful cakes and pies. They give you so much food that She can bring home half of it, and have it for Her dinner. She got cake for dessert and brought some of that home as well. Then Hana'sGran got Her a piece of beautiful pink cake for Her to share with Him. Hana'sGran also gave Her two movies She wanted to see, so now She says that She is spoiled - and it's H'sG's fault. But that was just a joke She told Him, since she is not spoiled like meat you leave out, She is just used to having everything wonderful for Her.
Since His lawn mower is broken, He had a guy come and cut the grass, and it looks very nice. He says they did a good job, so maybe he will cut the grass when They go on the boat ride, so they don't send us a letter. He hates to get a letter telling Him our house doesn't look nice.
I'm looking forward to seeing what She brought home to have for dinner. I'll be glad to try it out. Chow for now.

Exer-Cats

You know how She has all these aches and pains? Well, He challenged Her to set the timer and walk for 5 minutes to start and eventually build up to more minutes. Since our house goes in a circle around the kitchen, She does this inside. The first day She thought She wouldn't make it. Today was day 3, and even if She got out of breath, She said it was easier. Of course, I helped Her by jumping out at Her when She passed me. It is easier to exercise when you are distracted by an attack cat - as well you know.
While She was doing that, He was on the phone with people about fixing the fax machine. It hasn't worked for a long time and He thought it was no good anymore, but a long talk with the fax machine people and a lot of plugging and unplugging connections, and it worked. She is really glad, because if He didn't fix it, He wanted to buy a new one. Whew. And Kasey helped Him while He crawled around on the floor.
Good news about the boat. She called somebody and they said everything was all done right and everything was ready to go. If there had been a problem with that, She would have been so worried I would have been scared! She is going to fix some chicken tonight, because He can eat that. She is happy waiting for tomorrow, when She and Hana'sGran go adventuring. TTFN.

Super Cats

Today there is a kind of game to see who is the best at playing football. People are very excited about this game, and He and She don't care about it. That way, He can go to the store while everyone is watching this game, and it won't be crowded. Another good thing, He say, is that Their favorite programs will be on time and not have to wait until the ball game finishes.
Eating is peculiar around here, because He has a special bunch of food to get ready for the day they take pictures of His insides. She has had that kind of test and She feels sorry for Him. She is also worried that His sugar levels need to stay right. If they don't, He acts peculiar.
They are taking the trip on a boat pretty soon, and She called to check with the boat company. They didn't know anything about it. This gives Her a chill, so She will go back to the original people and get it straightened out right away. He has paid for everything already, so someone will have to tell Her some good news or there will be trouble. She is glad She checked now, instead of waiting until the trip was close.
It has gotten cold again, and my piece of sunshine has not come in the window yet. I'll keep watch. It may not be too late. Wish me luck. And Her, too. buh-bye.

Up-and-At-'em Cats

You know how She has trouble standing up and sitting down? She says it is Her old bones that make it hard to do that. Well, She bought a chair cushion that helps Her sit down and get up. He set it for how much She weighs (She covered Her eyes!) and then She went around the house sitting down and getting up. The cushion has a handle, so She can take it to Sabra'sHouse when They go there, and to Smudge'sHouse. She could even take it to restaurants, but She feels kind of strange about that. Maybe when She is more used to it. He asked Her which is worse, carrying a special cushion, or looking like an old lady and groaning when you stand up. She will work on that question. She has a lot of restaurants in Her future, so She can decide. Personally, as long as the snuggles keep coming, I don't care.
All the papers They need for doing the tax are here, and She will start on that tomorrow. She does it on the computer, because there are no weird things in the records. The next thing She will do, after the Tax, is change Her bank. I wonder what people do when they are not as particular about money as She is.
Do you know it is Eddie's birthday next week? She and Hana'sGran are going to celebrate two birthdays - Hers and Eddie's. I wish I could go. Cheers, everyone.

Kitty Cats

There is a show She likes to watch. It is about this really brainy guy who doesn't have any social skills. That means he has aspergers syndrome, She says. All I know about him is that he is very selfish and not a good friend, but he is funny. Anyway, when this smart guy feels sick, he wants someone to sing him a song about kitties. She just loves that song, and She sings it to us, especially when Kasey is sleeping in a round ball position, or when I'm purring very loud. So there I am, a big, muscular cat, being a sweet kitty. Is Kasey a sweet kitty? Don't make me laugh.
There was a lot of talk with Her computer friends today. A lot was about cancer. That is a very bad disease that took away a few of Her very good friends. For years She has given money to this group that helps people with cancer get checked and helped if they haven't got much money. They said they weren't going to help anymore and it made Her and Her friends very upset and sad. Everyone talked about it so much, the group changed their minds, and will still help the poor people. It made Her quite chuffed to hear that. It turned out to be a good day after all.
To make it a perfect day for this kitty, She is fixing that pink fish for our dinner. She knows I love that. So Oddy-ose for now.

Frustrated Cats

When something goes wrong with His computer, He gets really mad, and calls the computer-fixing guy about a hundred times. Because He is busy studying things for His projects, He has to use Her computer. He gets on it and stays for a long time, and shuts off when He is done. I tried to tell Her I had important stories to write, but She said, Cofs, He would be unhappy if we told Him to get off the computer. We don't want Him to be unhappy, do we? But now I am back, and will fill you in.
There is a friend who used to teach with Her a long time ago. That lady taught children with thinking problems, then she moved away. When the lady moved back, they didn't see each other very much, but then they decided to have lunch together. The lady was very sad, because her brother died, and she needed Her to help her feel better. Of course, She tried, but there are some things that can't be fixed in a couple of hours. One thing She told me is that the lady has two tiny d-o-g-s, so we will talk later about having some new cousins.
It was so sad at the lunch that She brought home almost all Her food, so She will have it for dinner. She says I will like it, but it's not fish. I'll tell you about it tomorrow. Bye, now.
