License Cats

Kasey and I have licenses, and they are on the collars She got us. We don't wear them, since we stay inside all the time. She needs a license, too. When you drive a car, you must have a license, and when a policeman stops you, you have to show it to him. Hers has run out of time, and so She had to go and get a new one. She said there were a gazillion people there, but She got called pretty fast. Lots of young people were waiting to take the test of skill at driving. She is so glad She doesn't have to take that.This new license will be good until She is 84 years old - if She is still alive then - and She guesses She would have to take a test to see if She still had the right skills. They also took a new picture. She says She will drive like an angel so She doesn't have to show that picture to a policeman. It makes me look old and mean, Cofs, She told me. Oh, well. All the better to threaten people with, if She ever has to.
Hana'sGran got an eye operation like the one She got. She was thinking about H'sG all day and hoping her operation was going as well as Hers went. It was tiresome going through it, but now that it is over and She can see very well, She thinks Hana'sGran will be as happy as She is.
Tonight They will eat the stuff that was left after Their celebration dinner. I will be very glad to help. (snerk)

Outback Cats

Does the name of this story make you think Kasey and I went into the back yard? Well, it wasn't us, but it was He and She who went to a place named Outback. I told you They had to celebrate making that last payment on Our house, so They went to a place They both like very much. They ate part of a giant onion that looked like a flower, and He even brought some home, along with part of His meal. She brought home some meat that is on bones, and I can't wait until tomorrow! I will help Her get the meat off those bones.
Before any of this celebrating, He and She went to hear LW'sMom talk at Their old church. They said She was a prefect delight to hear, and She got hugs from all the sisters. LW'sBrother wasn't there. He was sleeping, because he had a hard weekend in an arguing contest. They do that for the school, and LW'sB is very good at it.
So it was a very nice day, with a good start and a good end. I will get on Her lap while She watches some TV, and tells me what a good cat I am. It is the least She can do when She didn't fix any tasty dinner tonight. Good night, readers.

Flexible Cats

Kasey and I are both very flexible. That means we can get in some complicated positions, and we don't get sore muscles like They do. But He and She are flexible in a different way. They can change their plans and still be just fine. It is much harder for me to change my plans, and Kasey won't change hers at all. The point is, They had planned to go out for dinner to celebrate the final payment on Our house. He worked hard doing muscle stuff all day, and by the time to get ready, She could see He was really knackered. Let's go tomorrow, instead, She said, and He thought that would be much better. The main part of this event was paying for the house, and that part is done. All the people who call on the phone and want to give them new payments on the house get quite a surprise. Not many people have a house all paid for.
She is kind of glad to stay home, to tell you the truth. She wants to go and see LW'sMom be a minister at Her old church, and it will be easier if She gets a chance to rest tonight. Since She thought She was going out for dinner, She is scrambling around, looking for something to fix. I'll go and help Her look, and tell you about it tomorrow. Chow, Bellas.

Seeing-Eye Cats

Yesterday was all about Her eyes. She is getting used to not needing glasses for most things, except for the computer and Her crossword puzzles. The doc said She didn't need any specially made ones. She now has a bunch of glasses for that and She got them out of Her catalogs. She has to get used to seeing Herself in the mirror, because She doesn't look right to Herself. Well, Cofs, She says, this is how I look, so get used to it. I don't care how She looks at all. Brushing, pets, snuggles - all eyes-closed activities. It will be a year before She needs to go back to see the eye-doc. She will miss the nice rides with Him. They would laugh and talk on those long rides to the doc, and lots of times, They would stop for treats. Well, There will still be treats. For instance, tomorrow night They are having a special dinner to celebrate that Their house is all paid for.
When She retired, She was very busy with many things. Mazie lived here then, and there were lots of jobs at Her church. She liked to go and play with LW'sSibs, and there were friends who used to go for lunches with Her. Then LW came along, and She was so glad that She had time to play with all those children. She had a black-and-white cat. Everything changed when She started falling down. Now She mostly stays and plays with us. It makes Her get bummed sometimes. I'll go and get on Her lap. That always cheers Her up. Later, Gator.

Band-Aid Cats

Today She went to the doc, and when She came home, She was full of these things called Band-Aids. There must have been a dozen of them. You see, She has these little things all over Her neck which the doc calls tags. No one knows how She got them, they just started popping out a few years ago, and now She has about a million of them. Her regular doc didn't want to take them off, because they looked peculiar. The doc sent Her to someone who specializes in skin. It was rainy and nasty out, but She is brave, so She went pretty far to this skin doc. When She got there, the nurse said that insurance wouldn't pay for them, because they are not dangerous. They just look bad. She was ready to turn around and go back home, but the doc came in and said they might be dangerous, and cut off a big bunch of them, and sent them off to be investigated. That's very clever of that doc, but if She gets a bill - well, it's a good thing that doc has lots of Band-Aids, that's all I can say.
Tonight, when She goes to the meeting of Her Crones, She will be covered in Band-aids, and everyone will be glad for Her. That's the best thing about Crones! So Crones means no supper to share. I guess it's OK. But I am looking forward to tomorrow. Toodle-Pip.

Nice Dry Cats

Even though it was very rainy outside, Kasey and I were nice and dry in our house. There was supposed to be a guy here to fix the windshield on Her car, but he didn't come before He and She needed to leave to go to Their Thinking People. It turned out that someone had given Him the wrong information, so They had to leave without Her poor car getting fixed. Oh, it turned out it was a good thing, because the insurance had a question, so they wouldn't have paid. Now Her windshield will have to have the crack in it awhile longer.
He was kind of grumpy with all this mix-up. Every time He has a new idea, He gets very prickly, in case anyone doesn't like it. Her feelings were hurt a few times today, but She understands how He is and gets over it. Then later, He is very sweet again.
Another problem today is about Their dinner. There was supposed to be a box yesterday that had nice meat in it. Well, it didn't come, so She didn't have anything to fix that He could eat. The company said it would come today, but so far -- no box. It was nice that She saw Her beloved Thinking People, or it would not have been a nice, dry day for Her. Sy-O-Nara, friends.

Paid-Up Cats

He and She have lived in this house for a really long time. Since before any of His and Her grandchildren were born - except for Eddie, but he is just an honorary grandson. Well, before the next month starts, this house will be all paid for. She won't have to take a big chunk of money every time Her pay comes. All They have to do is to put money aside to pay the taxes. She is fine with that. I am hoping that this will take away some worries, because She tends to worry about money. You know how She is. What seemed like an ordinary day was actually quite special. She said there are lots of people who can't pay for their houses, and have to go live in their cars. Kasey really wouldn't like that.
I guess the last payment cheered Her up, because She feels more chipper today. Here's another thing that cheered Her up - His blood test for too much sugar was a very good number. Cofs, She said, I have lots of smiles today. I celebrated by giving Her an extra bunch of snuggles. She is going to be nice and cheery for the Thinking People tomorrow.
I'll go see what She is fixing for a special supper! Odd-you, cheres.
