Finish-Up Cats

This is the last day of March, and She wants to start April with some of Her tasks done. She gathered things up for Her trip to the place where She gives them away. She fixed up Her cheesecake for the freezer - I was kind of sad to see it go in the freezer, because that means I won't get another taste any time soon. There were things She has to throw away, but She hasn't got 27 yet, so maybe She will finish that tonight. Of course, we had to help Her with all these things. She got a good start, because She slept better than usual last night. Then for breakfast, we didn't have our bagel, but instead had a big muffinn that He brought Her from His meeting last night. It was OK, because She still gave me my butter.
Tonight is Her meeting with Her beloved Crones. She looks so forward to that. Maybe that's what gave Her all the energy today. She tried to get a report on Tori-Tzu's Mom for the Crones, but T-Tz'sM didn't want to talk, so She'll think of something.
He took His mother for a brain test, and she passed. That means her brain is not working, so He and She can take care of all her business. She says no surprise there, but She said it to me, not Him.
The spot of sunshine on the floor is particularly inviting. I think I'll go there and wash my face and paws. Poodle-Tip. (Get it?)

Present Cats

This is about presents from Smudge's Mom. When it was Christmas, He and She got a present from Smudge's Mom, which was a ticket for something good to eat. When They wanted it, They could give S'sM the ticket. Then, when it was Her birthday, She got another ticket that She was supposed to turn in for something to wear. Smudge's Mom is very good at cooking and making things. Well, today She went to collect the things They had tickets for. What She said was that She was a big winner! She got a beautiful new jacket, and there is not one more like it in the world. And She got an excellent cheesecake that is cooling on our table. She was so very tickled pink when She showed Him the nice stuff. He agreed that Smudge's Mom is talent from head to toe. We made a big fuss over Her new stuff, but we were not allowed to eat it or get fur on it. That's OK. We like presents, whoever gets them!
The bad news today was about the money They pay for Their house. The bank where They pay said They have to pay more money. It is lucky that She was happy about the presents, because She is very particular about money. She said She would think about that tomorrow, so for now, I think I'll go give Her some snuggles. Bye for now.

Things to Do Cats

Of course, She is still happy about seeing Her friends yesterday, but we had to get down to business. We didn't have time to sit and talk about how much fun She had, or who said what. We had to get right at that to-do list. After the bagel and butter, and after She checked Her messages, She started making a grocery list. It's grocery shopping time this week. Before She goes shopping, She has to cut a bunch of things out of the paper. Luckily for Her, I keep the scraps of paper out of Her way. She writes the list on an envelope, and puts the little pieces of paper (The ones that I didn't carefully move to the floor) in the envelope. I think they make Her remember what She needs to buy.
Then She had to go in the car to put a check into the bank. I heard Her say that She had paid too much on a bill. What kind of doofus does that, I wondered, but I didn't say anything, and She took the check to the bank.
One thing that made Her smile is that She looked at a bunch of pictures of Her beloved Eddie. They were pictures from the shows that Her OperaGirl saw, and She showed them to Him. He said Eddie should see them. She says he would be chuffed.
Well, I am knackered after the busy day we had, but I think I'll have a snack before I go for a nap. Toodle Pip.

Cat-a-Peli's

You won't believe how happy and excited She was today! She was all ready and waiting when Mable'sMom picked Her up and they went to the place where they would see The friends from halfway around the world. She told Him that She could hardly believer Her eyes! The grown-ups looked exactly the same, but the children had grown as tall as She! They had a lovely time, She said, with them and some other friends, so She was right chuffed! She will remember thhis day, I know. It was like we felt when the d-o-g went away.
I win the bet I made with Kasey. She did bring some food home from the brunch. I had bet 7 treats that She would. I don't know what's in it yet, but I know it will be something with meat. One thing she did find out was that they have a very nice kind of vegetables for Him to eat. They will go back there some day, and She will remember the wonderful time She had today.
That is what today was all about, so I will go and have a nice nap. If anything new happens, I will tell you tomorrow. Chow.

Generous Cats

It seems as if we are always giving things away. He and She give lots of kibbles to Katy-next-door and her husband. That husband of hers looks really terrible. He has a big sore place on his fron leg where all the fur is gone. Same with a place behind his ear.on his head. Eeew. Who has he been in a fight with? Not us. And not Katy, because she is a lovely cat, especially since she was *fixed*.
I also give away a lot of snuggles. I am a SnuggleBug and a PurrFactory. That's what She says all the time. She also says we give her chuckles. Kasey doesn't snuggle, but she has trained Them to give her treats when she asks for them, and She thinks it's cute. For old people, They are sure easy to fool.
Today, She didn't make spaghetti. She brought home a big box of spaghetti and some vegetable called eggplant. There was enough for Him to have for His supper. She took some cheese off of it, because He doesn't eat cheese, but She said it was OK if a little was left, because it was low-fat cheese. How nice it is when She gets food at a food place, and there is enough to make another meal. Especially when it's things He likes.
Tomorrow She and Mable's Mom will see their friends from halfway around the world, and it is all She can do to wait until brunch time! I wonder if She will bring something home from there. We'll see. I have to check on Kasey now. She is meowing about something. TTYL

Cat-ticipation

She is so tickled pink that Her beloved friends are coming here from halfway around the world that she can't stop talking about it. She has to wait until Sunday, but they will have a nice Sunday Brunch together. The restaurant where they are going is the one Mable's Mom found and it is food from the country where the friends were born. Won't that be exciting? I am sure there will be more news about it later, since She is so happy.
One thing She doesn't have to wait long for is Cleo'sMom's birthday dinner. That will happen tonight, and they are going to eat Italian things, She says. She hopes the present She and He sent to C'sM got there in time.
One thing Her beloved Eddie talks about is bees, and one of Her Eddie-friends could not get the bee stuff that we have around here. That friend lives far away across the ocean, in the place where Her Eddie lives, so She sent him some of the bee stuff, and he told Her he loved the bee stuff. It got there really fast. It is not stuff to eat, it is for putting on your face. It sounds very strange to Kasey and me. Of course, we stay away from bees, so they don't bite us. And we don't rub things on our faces.
He just gave us some fresh water, so I will have a little drink now. Salood.

Calm Cats

When They got up this morning, the house seemed as if there had never been a d-o-g here. We had our treats and butter, She had her bagel and coffee-the-drink, and all was peaceful. Even better, He got His computer back from the fixing guy. All She had to do was to spray stuff so the floor smelled OK again. Kasey and I don't wee on the floor. Ahem. Her jobs today were happy jobs, getting ready for the across-the-world people and Her darling Cleo's Mom. We stopped a few minutes and said we missed Cleo, and we're glad she is at peace. Then we decided on a little gift for her Mom. She and Mable'sMom are going to get things to eat with Cleo's Mom. They are very good at that!
One thing He did that was super nice was to get Her a bunch of bagels, so that She would have enough to have one every day. He is nice like that. It is a good sign, She told me, that She made the right choice when She picked Him. She worries every day about His thinking, but He seems OK now. He is writing on His book.
This is funny. While She drives around, She can listen to Her beloved Eddie on CDs that Her OperaGirl gave Her. Sometimes She drives farther than She has to, just to hear his show. (snerk) I have to prowl around and stalk some things now. Later Gator.
