A Cat for Her

When She was reading Her email today, She found a message from LW'sMom about cats. It says that cats are friends with their moms, and not just because of the food. Well, when
She read it and showed it to me, I wondered what all the fuss is about. Of course I am friends with Her. I tell Her how I feel, and She tells me how She feels. We give each other advice, and we laugh about Kasey being so weird. We can't wait to hear about all our cousins, and we make each other feel better when we are lonesome for Smudge'sMom or OperaGirl, and we dance together when we see pictures of Hana and Mazie. We watch movies together, and make Eddie-jokes, like when I'm purring and She says cat are you drilling? and we fall over laughing. We give Him snuggles when He comes home from seeing His mother and He is sad. Yes, She and I are very good friends. LW'sMom is right. Kasey, on the other hand, only likes Her for the treats, but She doesn't mind. That's how Kasey is, She says. We're used to it.
So the week has started, and tomorrow will be a new month. That means its just a little while until Spring. It is already warm, and the trees are turning green again. Katy is happier now, when it isn't so cold. Maybe LW'sMom will have time before her summer work to have some time away from her schoolwork. I'll keep you posted. TTFN

Good Day Cats

None of us had anything big on our calendars for today, so all four of us just took time to enjoy the day. Kasey played with the green, fuzzy mouse all by herself, and had a fun time with it. I stalked it, because I am not sure how to play with it. He worked on His vegetables, which He cuts up into a big bowl and then puts in small dishes. That way, if He wants some for His lunch, or a snack, he just takes a package. She drank coffee and read the paper, then came in here to talk to Her computer friends. One thing we are ll excited about is what is on TV tonight. They are giving prizes to the people who make the best movies. I believe thay have a lot of these kinds of shows, but somehow, They think this one is the most important. We all know whom we want to win. It is the guy who pretends he is the king, but he can't talk right. I didn't see this, because They went to a place to see it where all they do is show movies to people. It costs a lot of money to go to these places, and we all know how She is about things like that. I really hope the guy and his movie win the prize, because it will make Them both chuffed.
More good news is that we are having fish for our dinner, along with those orange potatoes She loves so much. I heard Her telling Him that She is giving me a bad habit of tasting some of Her food, but He said why not, since we give Kasey treats all the time. I just LOVE Him. Sy-o-nara.

Odd Saturday

You know She doesn't usually go out on Saturdays, but today was different. She and Katy'sMom and Katy'sGirl rode to a place where they go every so often. Everyone was kind of quiet today. Sometimes they jibber jabber, but today I guess everyone was tired. It was still a nice ride, She said. They were made late because a humongous train came right across the road, and they had to wait. When they got there, they waited a long time, and the meeting only took a few minutes. It was kind of funny, don't you think? But there She was, all ready for a a busy day. She took a little while to play with us, then did stuff on Her to-do list.
While all this was happening, He went to visit with His mother. He is very upset, because his ears hurt, and the people who are supposed to help Him with paying for His mother keep wanting more and more information, and first both of them puzzle over it, then He works on it some more. They told me that if the numbers don't come out all right, there won't be enough money to pay for l'ancienne to stay in a caring place. It makes Them cry, and I hate that. Luckily, I know how to make them comfy with snuggles. Well, for tonight, They are going to watch a movie and eat Their left-over Mazie-lunch food. That will bring the smiles back, I promise you. And tomorrow will be better. It always is. TTFN.

Can't Believe It Cats

I can NOT believe I didn't write a story yesterday! Even though She went away, She left Her computer on and everything. Maybe it was because I had to care for Him. He was supposed to go to a meeting, but His ears were having lots of pain. He seems to have some kind of swollen places in his ear that hurt him a lot. I know, because He never misses a meeting. So I had to care for Him until She came home and started clucking about Him. I was plenty knackered by then, and needed to have a nap. When She sat down to watch TV, I got up from my lap and went to sleep on Her. Well, that's my story.
Today is completely different. Both of Them feel happy today, because Mazie came to visit from her home far away. There was so much hugging that I had to go and hide in the closet for awhile. They went to have lunch with Mazie's oldest brother and his partner. That was to celebrate his birthday and Hers, which both just passed. She told me the food was wonderful, but She didn't even care, She was so happy to see Mazie. What a lady she is becoming. What good hugs she gives. Kasey actually played with Mazie, which she never does with anyone except LW's oldest sister. When I felt safe, I came out and got some sweet, gentle pets. I can see why She loves this nice girl.
They ate pretty late today, so I don't know what will be for dinner, but I'll check it out and report. Toodles.

Bad News/Good News Cats

Today a guy came to check on the air conditioner before They had to turn it on. It was supposed to be a check up to be sure everything is OK. It turned out that the guy said Our AC was going to break. He was sure. He said how much it would cost to fix it and She got really mad. She said Do you ever check one and it's all right? and the guy says yes. While She was huffing at the guy, He said they have a paper that pays for things like that. She must have forgotten, because She had to go look it up. Sure enough, there was the paper. He called the paper people, and they said sure, they would pay for a new AC if Ours quit. She stopped being mad and said that He was a smart apple for getting that. He said thanks, but He thought She knew about it. If you have to forget stuff, this is how it should turn out. So it turned into good news after all.
There is going to be a party in the place where Her OperaGirl lives. She can't go, but She told Her OG to go and tell Her about it after. There will be a bunch of Eddie-people from all over. She knows how nice it was to meet the Eddie-people that She knows, and She can't wait to hear about it!
Tonight is the meeting with Her beloved Crones, and She always likes that. She doesn't fix Her dinner at home, so it will be a kibble night for Kasey and me, and She will be happy when She comes home from that. She loves Her Crones. I'll tell you about it tomorrow. Bye.

Big Thinking Cats

Yes, this is the day when they went to the Thinking People's House, and had a lively discussion about making decisions for now or later. If someone says they will give you something now or twice as much for later, which would you pick? I can tell you, I would take it now and yow for it later. She says that isn't a good way to work, and when you have a little wisdom, you will realize why it is good to wait. Kasey must be wiser than me, because she would wait for just what she wants. I would take it now and believe with all my heart I will get more later, and I bet She will give it to me. She says LW'sMom would know what level of wise that is. He and She were very excited, because their Crone friend was there. That friend had a big operation on her tummy, and was feeling well enough to come to Thinking. Since He hadn't been feeling very well, He almost didn't go, but when He saw who was there, He was glad He went. They couldn't stay too long, because Sabra'sMom was coming home today from a very big trip halfway around the world, and Sabra'sDad was anxious to see her.
They are usually glad on Thinking Day, and everything was nice until His mother's bank sent some information that cost a lot of money to print, and He was upset, because He didn't order it.
She will be so glad to get rid of that bank and the person who causes all the trouble. Why do some people die when they are young and some people keep living for more than 94 years. That's what She wants to know. Well, I don't know the answer to that. Do you? We'll talk about it later.

President Cats

Today was Presidents Day, so She told us to act presidential all day. Kasey says she always acts presidential, but I had to find out what it meant. What She told me was if you are president, you should act with good manners and be helpful. She says the man who is president now is smart and kind, and a lot of people are jealous of him. This president acts like presidents are supposed to She says. He works on making things better for all the people, not just the rich ones. If I were president, I would work hard to get all cats good homes like ours, and make sure they all have enough to eat and don't get hit by cars. She says I have Her vote.
She has a nice friend who is one of Her beloved Crones. The two of them went to a nice place in between their two houses, so neither one had to go too far. They had a lovely visit, and a lovely lunch. When I saw what She brought home, I told the clock to hurry up and make it time for supper. It is pasta with little teeny fish in it, She says are scallops. Whatever you call them, the look fine. Perfect size for a tasting cat. He says He never saw scallops that small, but He thought they look good, too. She also brought home some of Her dessert, which a girl made right there at the eating place. It looks like really thin pieces of paper with nuts and honey in between. She is not even going to offer Him any, it is that good. Well, happy Presidents Day. Chow.
