Kosher Cats

One thing I learned very early in my life with humans is that they seem to want to believe in some powerful thing out there that helps them with their lives. Cats do not believe that, because we  get all the help we need - and some we don't - from Them.  They seem to get most of their rules about this from a very big old book. He and She believe that this book is about stories, and They think They are responsible for all the help they need, because They probably caused Their own troubles. But They do like one of the stories about some people that were stuck hiding from people that wanted to harm them. They hid in a cave and it was very dark. They had a light, but they needed some stuff to make it work. They had enough stuff to last just a little while, but the stiff lasted for enough time. They thought it was a miracle, which is something good you can't explain, like when Auntie Heather found Kasey outside, and they still celebrate that miracle now, a long, long long time later.  She likes that kind of celebration. She says it is good to be glad about what you have. We decided we like that story, too. We don't like the ones where people get killed or punished some other way.  Of course Kasey is sure that she is in charge of the world, but He and She say we are all in charge, mostly of ourselves.
 I wonder if this is a miracle. I really wished that She would fix pink fish for our dinner, and guess what I saw on the counter? Yes. Pink fish. It is enough of a miracle for me. Shalom.

Chinese Cats

Today She went to have lunch with Rocky'sMom, and the place where they went was Chinese. She ordered a nice lunch and there was so much that She brought some home.  Here's where it relates to me and the girl-cats. He looked into the box of brought home food and there on top was an enormous shrimp. I have every confidence that one of us will get that shrimp, and I am counting on it being me - although I will share it if I have to. The thing about the Chinese food is that there are lovely vegetables and pretty brown rice with it. Rocky'sMom brought her box home, too, but She says it was chicken.
I am acting very careful, because in all the excitement of pets and snuggles, I accidentally bit Her again, and it was harder than I meant to. Her feelings were very hurt, because She doesn't realize how excited and happy I was. I am so sorry when She feels sad, because I really love Her. I am much better than Kate, who bites her almost every time she gets pets, but Kate doesn't bite Her hard. I peeked at Her last night, and there was Kate, sleeping on Her tummy. It looked so cute I almost for got to be jealous.
With the vision of a huge shrimp in my future, I will go and have a little rest, and dream of our dinner. Bye-bye.

Healthy Cats

You can be glad you weren't here this morning. She had to go to see Her doc., and they told Her not to eat or drink anything before She went. If you have seen Her with no coffee-the-drink, you know it is not Her best look. She makes that Grumpy Cat on Her computer look jolly. She expected to get a bunch of tests to check on how Her insides were working, but Her doc said to wait a bunch of weeks before She has the tests. You see, there is a medicine She has stopped taking and it will take awhile to have it work out of Her system before the doc knows if She can stop taking it forever. She is determined to have only a few pills, and wants to stop all of them someday. Guess what She did when She first got home.
There were lots of bargains on the computer today, and when She felt up to it, She bought a couple of things, including more of Her favorite honey. It is honey you eat, not a person. He is Her favorite honey person. This honey is nice on Her peanut butter sandwiches, and She likes it when other people try it. I don't know why She feels so rich that She can buy some honey, but She will eat it, even if I don't.
One day He went to the store and brought home a big package of smoked sausage. Everyone likes that. She was wondering if it would taste good with a package She has that is supposed to have hamburger in it. She wants to try it with sausage instead. She asked Him if He ever heard of sausage helper. I think that was supposed to be funny, but He just looked puzzled. I bet He finds out tonight.
I shall now go and try to get some pets and a snuggle. TTYL.

Offended Cats

Yes, I knew She was going to get Her hair cut, so that's when I went in to write my story yesterday. The trouble was that He thought is was a good idea to turn off the computer and the lights in Her office. Well, of course I was offended. Doesn't He know that She and I have a system worked out? I will let you in on a suspicion of mine. I think He doesn't read my stories, and so He doesn't take them seriously. I just say hmmph to that.  So now you have to hear about today's adventures, and try to imagine that yesterday was a gray and rainy day when we all would have been better of staying home and not worrying about a hair cut. Hmmph.
Today She decided that it is easier to go without breakfast than to play attack the plastic strap with Kate. That little rascal has torn up Her table cover with her little claws. I think She is afraid that Her hand that holds the strap will be the next thing to go. She will try this plan for about a week, in hopes that Kate will forget about that game and play with her own toys. I have some very disappointing news for Her. Her brilliant plan is not going to work. She doesn't realize how intense Kate's love of the game is, and how psychology doesn't work on cats. I'll let you know how it turns out in about a week or so. That's all the time She can go without Her toast and butter along with Her coffee-the-drink.
I am checking out what She has planned for dinner. It looks kind of interesting, even though it isn't fish. That's my story for today. Shalom.

Business Cats

This was the first day that She could do business for this month, and boy, did She ever. She slept very late, but when She woke up, She was a dynamo. She took care of bank business, letter business, ordering business and arranging business. She stayed out of His business, because it makes Her dizzy to see what is going on.  He talked to His business people and will go see them tomorrow, but tomorrow She has more important things to do. She has to get Her hair cut. She told me I was lucky that I didn't need to get my hair cut. I just need to get it brushed, so I don't leave it all over the furniture.
The next business She will have to take care of is getting packages mailed. He will have to help with that, because She has quite a few. She worries about the packages getting there too soon or too late. I bet the people who get them don't even care. I don't mind telling you, I laugh at Her when She worries about stuff like that. She doesn't mind. She laughs at Her own self for that. I think She doesn't want to worry about real problems, so worrying about little ones keeps Her mind off of it.
Kasey has gotten her royal self in trouble. Kasey has a new habit, which is peeing on His place in the bed. She wants Him to take Kasey to the cat-doc, but He says she was just there and was strong and fit. After He has to wash the sheets about two more times, I bet He  takes her.
It looks as if there will be chicken tonight, with pretty green vegetables. He will love that, and I will enjoy the sauce. That makes it a fine day, except for the peeing. Toodles.

LookOut Cats

She gets kind of whiny about being afraid She will fall. Don't get me wrong, I love Her, but here's an example. When She went to take Her shower today, and He wasn't home, She was in and out of that shower so fast that She still had soap on Her. What if She fell down in the shower and He wasn't home? What if the firemen came to pick Her up and She didn't have any clothes on? Even Kate is getting a little tired of it, and Kate is still in love with Her.  I assured Her I would be a lookout, and so She took Her very quick shower.
That was a nice change from looking out for each other. I hate to brag, but I am so good at looking out for Kate that the little nuisance is staying clear of me. According to Him, He is sure I will be staying in the living room very soon now. Kate still has fun threatening Kasey, and Kasey is so sure that Kate wouldn't dare bother her that there is a yow-hiss match at least every other day. I try to tell Kasey what She used to tell the teachers She helped: Don't let them push your buttons. The day that Kasey listens to my wisdom is the day it will snow here where we live.
Now, since it is the new month, She plans to pay for the taxes on our house. It is a good thing, because I would not want to be homeless and sleep in the car.
Yesterday's fish was wonderful, but I doubt if She will fix it two days in a row. I am hoping it will be pizza. Cheers, everyone.

Church Cats

Human beings seem to want to go to churches. She says a smart guy told Her that if She moved here to where we live, She should surely join a church. She believes some different things than a lot of church people, so finding a church was not so easy. When She moved here, She did not know Him, but here is a lucky thing - He believes just what She does, so They found each other.  They went to church together until They got too busy, and the church was far away.  Many things happened and He thought They could find a church again. He heard a message on the radio about a new church that could be starting up very close to where They live. It turns out They got very interested, and worked to start the church nearby. It was good for Their hearts and Their thinking. The best thing about it was that They got a whole new family. It is where They found Cleo'sPeople. They found LW'sPeople, but there was no LW yet. They found Smudge'sMom and her family.  They met so many friends and were so interested in the church that They never felt happier.  Work for Their church did not seem like work. After awhile They got Mazie and lots of children They felt like Grandma and Grandpa to. They met out Uncle John when he was a little boy. They had dinners and parties and fun with all Their church people. But then, one day, something happened. Things were going a little bit odd, and They stopped going to Their church so often. She did not give any talks any more. The dinners kind of drifted away, and pretty soon She couldn't walk very well. She is glad that the church is doing better, but it is too hard for Her to go there. She still keeps all the children close in Her heart, and maybe someday She will go back. For now, there is no church for Him and Her. It would be kind of sad - except that there is fish for dinner tonight. Goodnight.
