Raining Cats and Cats

It was really good to see the rain today, but I could have done without the thunder. No, I am NOT scared of thunder, but She wasn't home, and I had no lap to get on for comforting, and I tend to worry about Her. We have been looking for rain for such a long time, and the rain stayed for a long time today. Whew, I was relieved when She got home! He was here, of course, and that was helpful to Kasey and me.
You see, She and Mable's Mom went to a store and bought enough bagels for Her to have every day for 39 days. Then they went and looked for a place to have lunch. The first place was out of something, so they went to the next place. They couldn't find a close place to park the car, so they said it was out of parking places. They finally went to place neither of them had been before, and ordered Her beloved pizza. When Mable's Mom asked for lemon with her water, they said they were out of lemon! Everyone seemed to be out of things today, but they had fun anyway, and went out into the rain, just to enjoy it.
She is home now, and dry, so I believe I shall catch up on some pets. Toodles.

Big Yawn

Oh, this has been a peculiar day! Although He went out and brought home some of her favorite green tea, She has done precious little today. Oh, she sorted things in Her closet, and She got some interesting things in the mail, but She has not gone anywhere interesting today. She is getting Mazie's present ready for her birthday, but this has been a planning day and not so much a doing day.
One fun thing that happened is when He brought in a big box that came in the mail. Kasey got right up[ on top of the box so that She couldn't open it to see what was inside. When They finally coaxed Kasey to jump down, they found the things that were in the box. He took the box out to empty those white little things that come in boxes, and brought the empty box back for Kasey. Oh, she had fun jumping in and out of that box! Then she walked around it and rubbed her face on each corner. When she jumped back in, she found one little white thing that hadn't gotten into the trash, and she jumped out with it in her mouth and batted it around for a long time She and I laughed at Kasey, but then She went to look at catalogs while I decided to have a big yawn and a little nap. See ya later.

She Goes Traveling

What She told us was that She and Cleo's Mom and Mable's Mom were going on an adventure - a trip to Colombia! I admit, I was worried there for a minute, because I don't know where that is, and I wasn't sure she would be back in time to give me snuggles! Well, I can laugh about it now, because She meant they were going to a new restaurant! Whew! She said the people there were very nice, and they took good car of Her and the Moms. She told Him that they gave too much to eat - and I have never heard Her say that before! They ate food the way it would taste in a far-away country, and they felt very pleased with their vacation-that-took-a-couple-of-hours! Yes, they sat there eating and talking for nearly two hours, and the people gave them some fine dessert, and it hardly cost any money, compared to a trip on an airplane.
Since Mable's Mom can't see, it was especially fun for them to have this adventure together.
She needs to check on how Her Eddie did in his running today, and I need to get a big drink of water. So long for now.

Big Thinking and Little Girls

Today They went to Their thinking group and had a lovely time. They had a big question, and everyone was very interesting, She said. She asked something about human nature, and the talk was lively. I think they could have talked a little about Cat Nature, but She said they didn't have enough time. Mable's Mom went with them, and she had a good time, even though she can hardly see anything. Well, you don't need to see to think, and M'sM thinks very well.
They went to a big store after the thinking meeting, and saw Their beloved LW and her sisters. They Put a smile on Her heart, She said. They had lots of hugs and seemed to like their treats. What a happy day, She said. And Her beloved Eddie is running a very important race over in the UK, which is farther than even Mazie's new home. That makes Her very proud of Her Eddie, because he is running to get money for hungry children. She only hopes he is careful and doesn't get a blister or anything.
When They came home, They gave treats to Kasey, so I am going to get some major pets and skritches now. TTYL

A New Cat?

Come on, Coffs, She said, and I jumped up and got a really good brushing today. You know what She always says, don't you? There is enough fur here to make a new cat! She is talking about all the hair in the brush, and we always laugh about that. It was a very long brushing today, and it reminded me of when my mommy used to clean me with her tongue. I was so comfy that I put my paws on Her neck and gave her a little massage while She brushed. It made me think of how nice it is to have good things to depend on. She depends on Him, but also on her other friends - the Moms and the grandchildren. It is easy to keep going, She says, when you know what you can count on. That's the same as depend, you know. Kasey does not get brushings. Don't touch me, she says. And not with that scratchy brush, especially!
One thing She knows She cannot depend on is when things are free. She went to get a free coffee today at McDonalds, but they said the machine was down. She told Him She was really not surprised.
Mable's Mom broke her glasses, so she will go with Her to the thinkers' group. I will have a little snack now, and maybe a snooze. ByeBye.

Vive Gatitos!

Today I am thinking in Spanish, because She went to a Cuban restaurant with Mable's Mom. Did you know that She went to Cuba with a friend of hers, back before Cuba was not our friend? She said She didn't like Cuba all that much at the time, but when She realized there was a revolution going on at the time, well, you could understand. She said people were either rich or poor, nothing in-between, and the poor people were the poorest people She had ever seen. While She was there, She got sick from eating some bad food, so you can see why She had some bad feelings about Cuba. Let Castro have it, She said!
But today She and M'sM thought the restaurant was nice. Here's the funny part: When She ordered a stuffed potato, it was on the sandwich menu, but to Her a stuffed potato is a stuffed potato. When it came, it was actually a potato SANDWICH! She brought some of it home to show Him and they laughed about it. Of course, He couldn't eat it, because it had meat, but He thought it was funny anyway.
This gatito is hungry now, so addy-ose.

Cats and Other Friends

We were thinking about all our friends, and feeling very lucky! It is because our dear friend, Smudge, came over yesterday, and that got us thinking about how many friends we have. Of course He and She are our best friends, but we also love Cleo, even if she is a d-o-g. And she eats our food. But we like to be her friend. And Katy next door. She comes over almost every day, and we look at her through the glass door while she eats the treats They give her. We share friends with Them, even though we don't get to see them a lot. She says that's OK, because She has friends She doesn't see a lot - or sometimes at all! They are Her Eddie friends. She loves Her Eddie Friend in Turkey, because she got Eddie to sign a birthday card for Her. She shows that to everybody. She loves the girls who are Her grandchildren, even though they live all over the world. Our Auntie Lisa lives in Texas, which is where we live, too. She says She hopes to meet Auntie Lisa in person some day. She loves the Eddie friend who She calls Her little sister. That friend lives where Her mom used to live. She is almost as old as She is.
And some of her friends She would like to see more, but they are very busy. So She has Her Crone friends, who are Her favorites, I think. She says Kasey and I are In-the-heart friends. She says we keep her going! Let's hear it for friends! YAAAY!
