She Played a Trick

What was She thinking? When She went away yesterday, She turned off the computer where I write my stories! I don't know how to turn it on, so there I sat, wanting to talk to you, and no way to do it! I think She was just so excited to see her beloved Crones that She didn't think about it. She told Him it was a wonderful meeting, where they heard about Smudge's Mom's new-found family in Oregon. I don't know where that is, but She said it's farther than where Mazie lives! She heard about Juliette's Mom and her adventures with a new doctor, named Dr. Shoe, She says. I had to laugh at that! Her good friend who had a daughter get married told about an awful adventure with the new groom getting shot in a home invasion! It made me scared when She told Him about it, but She says we are safe, because we don't have anything to steal. I think She is joking, because They have two very fine cats (even if one is rude). Boru's Mom was there, and said the place where they meet has water damage from that big storm I told you about before. That made all the Crones sad. But they cheered up with the cupcakes, She said, and all loved each other.
That's nice, but I have work to do. There are lots of birds to watch today, and a squirrel who needs me to make a mean face at her! Oddy-ose.

It's Raining Cats and.................

Right now it is not actually raining, but you should have been here last night! It rained and thundered and lighteninged and I told Her I couldn't snuggle anymore, because I had to go and make sure the rain wasn't getting in the closet. Once, it even sounded as if a big train was coming to hit us all, and She said it sounded like a tornado. She didn't wake Him up, but She went to look outside. All the stuff in the back yard was OK, so She went back to bed. When we all got up this morning, there was no paper. She likes to read the paper while we have our bagel and butter. She turned on the TV, and saw that neighbors very close to us were getting saved in a boat! That's why there was no paper - because the cars couldn't get down the streets. She told me that if WE needed to get saved in a boat, She and He would make sure we were safe, and not to worry. I felt better after that. One of her friends said we should build an ark, and She said OK, but we will put the tigers on last. I guess that is one of her jokes she has with the Eddie-people. So today, schools were closed and Katy's boy and girl could stay home. It was too scary to go to her thinking friends' meeting, so She stayed home. He went to His school, but He came right back. Too much rain for one day.
I think I'll go get a drink from the silver bowl. Tata.

Mystery

It was a strange day, because She went away early, and before She went, She put a package on the mailbox and a letter, and put up the red flag. I watched Her through the window. When She came back home, the package was gone and the flag was down. She asked Him if He had the package. He didn't know anything about it. She worried, because it was too early for the mail to come, and the package was for Her beloved Mazie! What if the trash people took it? Or the recycle people? She was worried, but there was nothing She could do! After awhile Katy's Mom called Her. I have your package, she said. Katy's Mom saw it and thought it would get rain on it, or something, so she took it to her house to give the mail carrier! Wasn't that the sweetest thing? What a good way for a mystery to end.
I have to go and look out the window some more, because Kasey is looking out, and I want to bother her. (snerk) Toodles.

Sunday in the House with Her

The place He went today was to see His mother, in the place where she lives. He says they always argue, and She won't go at all. He says His mother wants to move here with us. She says, just give me enough time to find a place to live - but I really think She is joking. She would not move away and leave us, would She? Anyway, His mother is in a very nice place, She says, and He says, wait until my school is over, and I will think about my mother. She says that is OK.
So, while He was gone, She and I played mouse. She puts Her hand under the tablecloth, and we pretend it is a mouse. I pounce on it, and She laughs. Laughter is good for you, She says, I like to make her laugh, because it always ends in snuggles. I know it is not really a mouse under there. We are only playing. Sometimes Kasey comes around to see what all the laughing is about, and I have to take time out to chase her. Today, Kasey got up on the pass-through to the kitchen. Then, all of a sudden, she was gone. I thought she had turned into air, but she came walking out of the kitchen. It was a baffling trick, and I don't know how she did it, but I am not going to ask her. You don't think she stepped on the kitchen counter, do you? She knows we are not allowed to do that.
Let me know if you think of anything. I'll wait right here. Later.

Coffee says What?

What is going on around here? It is not a day when He goes to His school, but He has been gone all day! Oh, sure, I still got my kibbles and my snuggles, but I like it when both of Them are at home. She says They are going to Mable's house to eat Their dinner, and Kasey and I will be all alone. If They have dinner with Their friends, They are usually quite cheerful, and so it won't be TOO bad. Another thing I heard was that Cleo is coming back here to visit and play. Her mom and dad have to go far away to get Cleo's girl who goes to college. I will be ready when Cleo comes this time. I have a place in the closet all picked out, and will be sure it is nice and comfy. I will practice my mean face, but I bet Cleo will yawn just like Kasey did. I seem to have a problem being mean, just like He does. And when She gets a mean face, He just laughs. You, know, He is a lot like Kasey that way. Well, I guess I will go and watch for Him to come home. He will be bringing broccoli for the supper at Mable's. I don't care much for broccoli, but They do. Maybe he will surprise me and bring a shrimp or something! Toodle pip.

A Day to Cat-ch Up

This was a good day for catching up on important things. I had to get even with Kasey, for example. I was giving her my best Threatening-to-Fight-With -You look, when she hurt my feelings. Here's what happened: I got all puffed up in my mean-cat shape, and started toward her in a VERY threatening way. I was scowling at her when - Do you know what she did? She yawned! She yawned right at me, and when I looked surprised, she turned around and walked away So today I had to figure out ways to bother her. I can't eat her food, because He puts it up on the brick wall, and I can't jump up there. I can't drink her water, because we both drink the same water. I can't meow at her, because she doesn't care. And I can't really hurt her, because She would not stand for that. Here's what I did. I bothered her. All day long, I got up on the table when she was trying to drink from the silver cup. I wagged my tail, and when she jumped on it, I ran away. I got up on the bed while she was trying to sleep, and biffed her until she ran away to the closet. Then I caught up on some snuggles, watched some pictures of little kittens, and had a nap. Ahh. All caught up! So long for now.

A Cat Left Behind

It has happened once again. Mable's Mom and She decided to go on an adventure - this time to look at Bluebonnets. He says once you've seen bluebonnets, you can stop looking, so He didn't go along. Meanwhile I have NEVER seen a bluebonnet, and once again She went without me. I started to ask Her to pick me up and take me along, but She pretended She didn't understand, gave me a couple of skritches and left. She was gone forever, and when She DID come back, She told Him how much fun they had, laughing and pointing at bluebonnets! One thing She told him was about a little place to eat that they found in "the country" That's the name for a place very far away. This little place was very small, and the people inside were very young, She said, and they had just started this place. She and M'sM thought they were so very cute, and earnest and they were trying so hard to please that it was worth the long drive, just to eat there. She told Him they had chocolate cake and the girl who made it was very proud of it. He said it was a really nice experience, and he would have like that cake. I said hmph, because I would have liked the hamburger! I don't care for cake.
If She thinks I am going to forget this, She is mistaken. I am really considering peeing on the rug! TTYL.
