Goodbye Flowers

The flowers She got for Her birthday are gone. She did love those flowers. I thought She was going to keep them forever. She kept telling us they are still fine, but now they are dry, and their petals are falling off - and even if She rearranges them a hundred more times, those flowers are gone. We tried to help by eating all the green parts, but even though we gacked them up, She didn't take them away. I am telling you, She loved those flowers. Some people get flowers when they die. Not Her. She says, don't waste money on flowers I won't be there to enjoy. Give the money to the Esspeeceeay, She says. She saw that we looked worried, and said, no, Coffster, I feel fine. I'm just telling you now so that you don't have to wonder.
She got some news today about one of Her beloved Crones. That is Tori-Tzu's mom. She has a thing in her tummy that shouldn't be there, and the doctor will have to take it out. That Crone friend has fine sons to help her while she is sick. It was time to wish love and energy for her, She said. I'm glad we are good at wishing!
This is spaghetti night, so it is time to take a look at Her plate while She and He are watching their movie. It is a mystery. She loves mysteries as much as flowers! Chow.

Wishing Cats

Today She told us that She had lots of things to wish for, and told us we needed to help. You see, She believes that our brains don't use all the energy in them, so people and cats need to focus on what they wish for. I know She believes it is the world that uses this power, and it doesn't work to ask some mystery person to make your wishes work. You have to use brain energy, even if you didn't know it was there before! And She told us we had to send love while we were wishing. Here's what She needs, in case you want to wish as well. First, we wish that all our people who have pain and sickness will feel better very soon. Her Crone friend, Ella, for one. And LW's family, who have all been feeling pew. And UUTracy and OperaGirl, who had sore throats. Be sure and wish they take care of their pipes, She said. ( I think She means their throats.) Let's wish that Mable'sMom gets over her painful muscles, and that Her OdessaGirl gets over her sore bones. We also have to start early to wish that the people who listen to ViolinGirl recognize how brilliant she is, and that all Her girls who will be in NYC have as much fun as they can hold. We have been wishing Mazie is happy in her new school, and that HE get people to see how good his story is. Don't worry, Coffs, She says. When that wishing is done, we have other wishes. All this wishing makes a cat knackered. And thirsty. Wishes will be coming your way soon. Sy-o-nara.

Cats Keep Watch

Since it was a kind of nice day today, I spent a lot of time looking outside. You know He puts out kibbles for our friends, so today we were all surprised when every last bit of kibble disappeared in just a little while. When She went out to get the mail, there was Katy's husband, crying for some more food. He is looking a little more fit and nice. I think it is all the kibbles he gets over here. Kasey and I watched out the front door while K'sH cried for more to eat. Of course, She gave him some more. She believes everything anycat tells Her -especially if they are crying. The cat didn't try to come in our house. I think he know Kasey would give him a look so mean that it would make his hair fall out.
It has been a while since She was in such a fit over the clutter. No sooner does it clear out than things start collecting again. She said She thinks it has gotten worse because They have been inside out of the cold. When They are out and about, things stay a bit nicer.
She was happy about Her meeting with the Crones last night, and She even wrote a long letter to Her friend who lives nearly in Canada. That is a place farther away than Mazie or Her OperaGirl. She loves that friend. She says she is kind and smart and clever. She likes that in a person! And a cat.
Well, I will go look out the window some more, before it gets really dark I hope They don't give away any more of our kibbles. I know it is nice to share, so I had better not say that! TTYL

Cozy Cats

It was a nice surprise to find out that the terrible ice and snow didn't come to our house last night. She was worried that Her beloved Crones wouldn't be able to come to the meeting tonight. The way the TV guy was talking, She thought it would be too nasty to even go out to get the paper! Well, He went out and fed the birds and put out kibbles for our cousins that live outside, and he said there was not even frost on the grass. She told me it snowed close to here, maybe as close as where LW lives, but we escaped it. So now She could do Her errands, and He could get His computer fixed so He didn't have to say bad words to it, and the Crones will be together tonight.
She is kind of lonesome for news about Her beloved Eddie. No one can tell Her where Eddie is going next, or what he plans to do with his clever self. She knows he needed a long rest after all his shows, so She guesses it is OK to have him out of the news - for awhile. Just to cheer Her up, Her OperaGirl had a guy make copies of some Eddie-things for Her to play here at our house. We will sit and watch every single move Eddie makes! She is right chuffed! She is SO glad Her OperaGirl will be getting a surprise of her own!
Even though there is no snow, Kasey and I spent a lot of time curled up on the couch, being cozy. But now I will go snooze under my MeTable and keep warm. Cheery-Bye.

Role Model Cats

Today was Thinking People Day, and They just love that! Even if some of the thinking people were missing, They really got interested in the talk. It was about role models. A role model is someone you try to be like. He liked lots of groups, and She liked lots of people. Kasey and I think we are role models for Katy-next-door and her husband. We also tried to show the good way to be to our cousin Smudge, when He was here. Maybe you iknow that She used to be a teacher, and that She thought She had to role-model nice language and manners for Her students. She believes all the Thinking People are role models for Her, as well as Her beloved Eddie, who is very kind and generous. The Moms of all our cousins are role models for Her, too. Smudge'sMom is smart and clever, and she has lots of health problems, but she keeps going. Katy'sMom and Mable'sMom are very good to their children, which She thinks is quite good. Her OperaGirl and some of those friends role-model a life of talent and service. She told me that they have a joy of living (Only She said it in French, which I didn't get) that lightens things for everyone. LW'sMom role-models good Momming, even while she follows her dreams. Role models help you decide what you are going to do. He and She are kind of role-models for Kasey and me, although we are role-models for them, too. We show them how to relax, how to snuggle, and how to stalk things. This is what I shall do right now, as a matter of fact. Cheerio.

Me Table?

There are a lot of tables here where I live. The table where They eat is where my silver cup of water is every day. There is a table where Her coffee-the-drink goes and - well - there are five or six tables that I can see from Her chair. In the middle of all the chairs there is a table that is kind of big, and lower to the floor than the others Do you inow what She and He named this table? It is a COFFEE table! I heard them call it that when He said where is the magazine, and She said on the COFFEE table. That is the perfect place for me to nap. I can see a lot from under there, and it is hard to see me, so it is a good hiding spot. I can stalk toes from there, and roll a toy mouse under there, too. I love having my own table.
I was under there, in fact, when She came home from Her errands. Today is the birthday of Mazie's biggest brother. He still lives here instead of far away where Mazie lives. She took his birthday present to him, and got a nice hug. Then she went to buy some cat treats for you-know-who. My sister Kasey has Him and Her wound around her paw. Whenever she wants a treat, They give her one. Well, OK, but you don't hear them naming anything a Kasey table, now, do you. I am going back under the Me Table to rest awhile before the next session of snuggles. Ah-dyoo.

Better Day Cats

Today was a much better day than yesterday. To begin with, She read some nice messages from Her Eddie-People, and was very cheerful about them. After that, She went on an adventure to a new place to get things to eat. It was close to LW's house, not too far and not too close. They had about a hundred things to pick from, but they got nice choices. She said it tasted good, but She still brought some home. It was because they gave Her such a lot of good food. Another thing She liked is that the coffee-the-drink was good, and they gave Her a whole bunch to pour for Herself. She agrees that it will be a place They can go back to. How can you be even a little sad when so many people cheer you up? She loves all her cheer-up friends!
We are also glad because the paper had more coupons for us to cut out. I am glad to help Her with this by pushing the papers close to Her. Sometimes I sit on them so they don't slide away.
You will never guess who was playing mouse with Her today! It was Kasey! She and I were both surprised. She put her hand under the blanket. like She does for me, and Kasey pounced on it. Kasey liked doing that, and was very close to laughing. After a few pounces, though, Kasey returned to her old uppity self, and walked away. That will make us laugh for a long time. Must go and see what He is cutting up in the kitchen. Could it be something I could eat? More later. Ciaio - And happy birthday Musc Guy!
