Successful Cats

He and She were successful about their to-do lists today. The first thing that was successful is that He went to the Post Office and sent Mazie's Birthday present on its way to her. There are lots of things in the box, because She can never decide on one thing for Her beloveds. Then He got His beard trimmed, because He does not like a messy beard. I know just how He feels about that. I like to be neat and trimmed, myself. Since She did not feel neat and trimmed, She went to see Her hair-cutting lady. I think the lady cut it a bit too short, but She just loves it. She told me that lady has been cutting Her hair for 22 years. I can't even imagine it! So She will look very trimmed for Her Crones lunch tomorrow.  She loves the new month that starts tomorrow, because it starts with Mazie's birthday, then Smudge'sMom's, then Hana'sGran's . Kasy and I have ours in another month, when it is cold weather. This has been quite a successful day, and we are glad, except for Kasey, who had to yow at Kate today. Chow, bellas.

Stock-Up Cats

He is on one of His eating things again, but not as bad as before. Right now, He can't eat white food, like potatoes, rice and noodles. It makes Her shake Her head, but She has stocked up on meat and fish, and rice that is not white, exactly. It isn't brown, either, no matter what the package says. So that sounds easy enough, except that He can't have peas and corn, so They had to stock up on other stuff that he wants to eat. She is good with this plan, until He gets tired of it. Between His sicknesses with His sugar and His getting mad, She decided if this is all it takes to change it, She will do just fine. Just in case, though, She stocked up on cookies. They cure whatever is wrong with Her.  As for our kibbles, He got us special inside cat kibbles and they taste really good.
She was kind of glad She didn't have to go anyplace else, because She was knackered from all Her excitement yesterday. You won't believe how sad She is about getting so tired just doing regular stuff. I have to go help her rest now. Cheers.

Appreciating Cats

If you can remember the story about how She and Her brother just met each other a few years ago, you will appreciate how She and He met another member of Her family - In fact, four more people. It was about a year ago when They met Her nephew, Jon. She was so thrilled with that meeting, and even saw him again. Yesterday, She got a call from Jon's big brother, David, Jr. He and his family were coming back from their vacation and the plane stopped here in our town. The people were going to have a long time until their next plane would take them home. He and She went to the airport to see them, and They had so much fun. There was the nephew and his wife, and they have two boys.One about the age of LW'sBigSister, and one about the age of LW'sNextSister. She immediately loved all these people. They had lunch and talked for hours, until it was time to get the next airplane. She was so chuffed, but when They finally got home, She was too knackered, so She just put on Her sleeping clothes and watched Their British program. He and She and Their cats sure appreciated this family day. Sleepy time now. (Yawn)

Detective Cats

It was afternoon in the big city. She had just returned from lunch with Rocky'sMom when the phone rang. It was our Uncle John, who said, I need a favor. Naturally, She said sure. It turned out that the guy who robbed him and Aunt Heather had gone to a gas-station store and used her credit card to buy something.  The store had a camera and took the robber's picture. She gave the store guy a computer thing that copied the picture and then they gave it to a police guy that was there. Here's something funny. She asked the guy to make two copies, so that the police have one and U.J. and A.H. can have a copy. The police guy said that it was against the law to make another copy, and if anything goes wrong, like if U.J. catches the robber and kills him, the store guy would be in trouble, and so would She. Since She knows Uncle John would never do that, She wasn't worried. The store guy and She waited til the police left, and he gave her back the computer gadget. It IS Hers after all. The store guy says, of course you will erase it, and She said She was sure everything would be fine. She came home and told us all about it. We would surely have trusted Her to be the detective. Wouldn't you?

Danger Cats

Today we found out about a danger that some of our beloveds were in. Here's what happened. Uncle John and Auntie Heather came from their house far away yesterday. They came to see a play about lions. They told us they would see us in the morning today. When they got here, they had a terrible story to tell. They left their car for a few minutes, to get something to eat. When they came out, someone had broken their car window and taken Aunt Heather's clothes and purse. Her purse had all her important papers in it. When they came to our house this morning, Aunt Heather looked beautiful, but she didn't have any clothes to change into, so she still had her party clothes on.  It make our hearts break that everything was gone. Of course, He gave them some money to buy important stuff like a toothbrush and some other stuff. It is hard to think about the problem they might have had if the robber was still there when they came out. It would have meant danger, for sure. He and She gave them big hugs and let them go for the long drive to their home. If the robber came here, Kasey, Kate and I would surely knock him down and bite him. Bye for now.

Fraidy Cats

One thing that She always says about me is that I am a Scaredy Cat. That is a name for a cat or person who is more afraid than he should be about where he or she goes. Another name for that is Fraidy Cat, because being scared and being afraid are kind of alike. If you are scared, it might be because of that loud thunder, or a very loud noise. It is sad to be scared, but not as sad as it is to be afraid. When a person or cat is afraid, he or she can't seem to be normal. I guess that's why I stay in our bedroom, or in our closet. Maybe I am afraid of the new way life acts with a new cat. Kate is not a bad cat. I almost think she would like to be friends, but we can't seem to work out that part of ourselves where we have to share places and things. Do you know who else is a fraidy cat? She is. She is so afraid She will fall again that She doesn't want to go anyplace. Luckily, She has friends who She loves more than being afraid. Still, She thinks about where She will put Her feet. She says, Cofs, I have lost my rhythm. I just step - step - step. I am sorry for Her, because I know how She feels. I told Her let's both work on it. TTYL.

Quiet Day Cats

Yesterday and today were quiet days. They didn't go anywhere, just took care of stuff at home, including playing with Their beloved cats. Probably it helps that He and She were bummed by all that shooting stuff, and They don't want to talk about it any more. He was once in a place call Marines and got a medal for being good at shooting. She learned to shoot some plates that flew through the air. Neither of them like guns. They are so sad about how many things can go wrong with a nice person. Kate says this sometimes happens to cats. Kate knows things, because she lived on the mean streets for awhile. Kate says you can only be mean to a cat for just so long, and then the cat gets mean, too. No one treated us in a mean way, but the best part was coming to live here. Oh, sure, Kate misses her kids, but she doesn't miss the excited dog. Maybe Kate is so fussy about her space because she couldn't relax with the dog around. Anyway, we will look for more things to happen this week. Everyone needs quiet days once in awhile, but enough is enough. Later, Gator.
