Busy Day Cats

We were very up-and-at-em this morning, since She had a lot of things on Her to-do list. To begin with, She was looking at Her supplies of things, and decided She needed to go to the store. She does not like to run out of things that She uses, in fact - She usually gets what She calls a back-up so that when one package is finished there is another one waiting. She thought it would be a good idea to get a cake for Mable'sMom, because it is her birthday today. She ran across some bargains, so She got some extra things, as well. She surely loves Her bargains. She got candy to give the kids at Halloween, which is a month away. Well, at least it is here and ready to hand out.
Another thing She did today was to go to Mable'sMom's house. Mable'sBoy was there, so She gave him the cake and her package from Her and from Cleo'sMom. Mable'sMom works very hard, and She thinks it will be fun for her to come home and find some presents. It makes you feel light-hearted to do things like that, Coffs, She tells me. Being light-hearted is a very good thing. She said one more farewell to Smudge'sMom before S'sM and Dad go on a fun trip. I don't know what She plans to do about Her supper, because She says She isn't hungry. She had a big sandwich for lunch. I guess that is why. When She went to the store, She didn't buy lots of things to eat. She is waiting until next week. Do you know why? If She spends enough for her groceries, She can get gas for Her car for 10 cents less, but only in the month She buys it.
My brain is tired from all the figuring out today, so I will just plan on a quiet evening. Poodle Tip (Get it?)

SnuggleBug Cats

My sister Kasey is not a snugglebug like I am. She does her version of snuggling with Him, by snuggling up to His hand when He is trying to write. Kasey has been getting closer to Her, but not quite in snuggle-mode yet. Well, that's OK, because I am Her snuggle-bug, and we have our snuggle time when She is in Her chair. She doesn't scold me when I interfere with Her puzzles, or phone calls or TV shows. It does us both a lot of good, and I recommend it for general feeling-better purposes.
She feels very chipper today, because Her bum leg is almost all better, and She is looking forward to seeing Her beloved Crones this evening. Plus, She knows She will have some most excellent coffee-the-drink, which we all know She loves.
He will need cheering tonight, though, so I may need to snuggle with Him while She is gone to Her meeting. You can guess why. Yes, His mother. He took her to get her new glasses, and gave Him a lot of grief about how He doesn't help her and yada yada (as She says). So He takes her to lunch and comes home all sad and tired. What She says is Her leg feels better, but there is a definite pain in Her butt. I get that. Do you? Well, luckily for Them, there is a snuggle-bug in the house.
She is reminding me that tomorrow is Mable'sMom's birthday, but M'sM is too tired to celebrate. Poor lady. Well, I'll send her some snuggles as well. Later, gator.

Thinking Day Cats

Usually Kasey and I prefer to have them stay at home, but not on the day they go to visit their Thinking Friends. They always come home all sprightly and happy to tell us about it. Today it was Her day to take the job of the Big Question. It so happens that Their Thinking People are kind of curious about Her beloved Eddie. She talks about him all the time, and they know She has traveled far to see him. They wanted to know more about Her Eddie. Her big question was what causes this kind of bond to form with a relative stranger, and is it a spiritual thing. She thinks it is, and that She needs to make Eddie feel better about not having a mother. Naturally, the Thinking People were interested in the story, and everyone wants to borrow her other DVDs. She also like seeing Eddie on a giant TV. Thinking People, Eddie and nice weather. She thinks that makes a really good day.
Where we live, it is generally hot, but these days have been rather cool and nice. It seems to make everyone feel better. You know we don't get to go outside, but we can tell it is nice out, because every single person tells us.
One day last week, She brought home some barbeque ribs, and she only ate half of them. She thinks they'll be perfect for tonight, and I am very agreeable to that. They already smell good!
Much love to all our cousins. Ta.

Helping Cats

This is going to be a busy week, and Kasey and I are going to have to help Her stay on track. We have been organizing today, and tomorrow She is taking some of Her Eddies to the Thinking People. I am sorry for them if they don't like Her Eddie. I'll let you know tomorrow. We have to be sure She doesn't forget to take things She needs to all the places She has to go. That bum leg seems to be a bit better today, so She is able to enjoy the lovely weather. If the weather stays cool, we will all have more energy. We have to have energy to send to Her OperaGirl, who is going on a very long walk to raise money to help sick people, which was what LW'sMom just did here. I saw her picture, and LW'sMom looks really cute with no hair. OperaGirl is brave and strong to walk so far, and She is glad those young people do all these things for others. She is proud of all Her girls and boys. This is what love is about, Coffs, She told me.
Well, there are things coming in the mail from Her catalogs. A job for us this week is to sort out what goes to whom. People call up and want Her to give money to them, but She has to be sure all Her catalog stuff is right before She gives more money. She already helps animals, children and Her President, so Kasey and I work on making Her feel OK about not sending more. After all, we tell Her. the catalog things show love, too. Here's what else shows love - When He puts kibbles and water in our dishes. Like He just did. Gotta run - I'm sure you understand. ToodlePip.

Kolaches Cats

It was nice of Her to offer us some kolaches when She came home from Her morning with Mable'sMom - AND Mable. They went to the place where She had a paper for free stuff, and they thought they would have their kolaches and coffee there. When they got there, they found out that there were not places to sit in the store, so they bought their supply of goodies and moseyed on down to the coffee place at the corner. They were going to enjoy some sit-down-and-talk time, as long as they were out. One other problem was that the bakery store was very expensive, so they wouldn't be able to get stuff without paying extra. Did I ever tell you She was particular about money? Well, She found a table with day-old kolaches and rolls for a price that fit the paper She had. That always makes Her chuffed. When She got home, She showed us the kolaches, but they were made of sweet things like apples and cherries, and Kasey and I don't really care for that.
So, I told you Mable was there, too. Mable went along for the ride, and She said Mable behaved very nicely. We could smell that doggy smell on Her hands. You know She gave Mable pets. She thought Her hands were clean, but we could still sniffle the petting on her hands.
We are sending love to our cousin Lion, and to cousin Smudge, whose girl came home from school. Meanwhile, I smell chicken, so I must go and check. Ah-dyou.

Bum Leg Cats

It turns out that She is the one with the bum leg, but Kasey and I are available for comfort. She was all excited to be going to LW'sMom's hair-shaving party, but whenj She woke up, that pesky leg was giving Her real trouble. It is very hard to tell if her leg swelled up, because both Her legs are very round and bubbly, but there is no mistake that something is wrong when it hurts. It hardly hurts at all, Coffs, She says, but just look at Her. She didn't want to take her poor, broken-down self to the party. She thought it was better to keep it up on a pillow. I'll check with you on an update. She still plans to go with Mable'sMom tomorrow.
Her OperaGirl is having a movie night like they had when She was there a lot of weeks ago. I bet OG wishes She was there to help her cut up veggies. Well, so does She, to tell you the truth. When She came home and made a dinner like She had at Her OperaGirl's, He really loved it. Of course, He only eats vegetables, but when OG sends the directions, She will make it in two parts.
She showed us pictures of how LW'sMom,Dad and Brother looked after they had their hair taken off, and Kasey and I thought they looked very good, indeed. I think they raised a lot of money, so everyone is happy - except She feels sad about missing it. Here's what She said: (Bleep)ing bum leg! I'm going to cheer Her up now. Bye.

Mmmmm Shrimp Cats

We are all happy when Her day includes a visit with Deena'sMom, because She comes home all happy and pleased, but today was even better. She come home with food left over from Her lunch, and She told me there was shrimp in it. If I play my cards right, I could get a whole shrimp all for myself. She said that being with Deena'sMom is like good medicine for Her. They talk about their families, and D'sM makes Her laugh at stress-things, like His mother. Of course, She loves to hear all about the big dogs that live at D'sM's house, and the children who live far away.
The news about Smudge'sMom is not so happy. Smudge's youngest girl has had a bad time at the school where she has been going, and now she must come home. That means that lots of arrangements have to happen, and all of them are puzzles. She wishes She could make things better for Smudge's family. Maybe She can think of something.
Tomorrow is the day when LW'sMom gets all her hair shaved off. That will be funny to see, so She will be there. I should sell your hair, Coffs, She said to me when I got my brushing. I have enough hair to cover one of those hairless cats, and that doesn't even count what I just brushed off my navy blue shirt. Don't worry, everyone. She was joking when She said those things. I saw Her put the hair in the bin.
Mmmmm - Do I smell shrimp? Later, gators.
