EOM Cats

EOM means End of Month, and that is what today is. It is kind of a special end of a month, because people who go to most jobs have three days in a row when they can stay home from work. He and She used to have jobs like that. Of course, if your work is in a store, like Cleo'sMom, you don't get those days. If you take letters to people's mailboxes, you get two of the days. If you are a cat, you may have to work a little harder, because your people may have company or want to get things done. Kasey, Kate and I will have it pretty easy, because every day is sort of the same for Him and Her. He has sprayed some of the special doc stuff and we still stay in our room most of the time, but Kate has stopped scratching where He sprayed it.  Kate is more relaxed, though. Now it's time to work on getting her to let us out without a fuss.
Now She says She may not watch anything about politics for awhile, because She is tired of screaming about it. She really likes the guy that has the job now.
There is going to be something for dinner tonight that is not fish. She says She will actually use two pans. I don't think I will like it, but I will try to give Her a chance and taste it. I don't like to hurt Her feelings, you know.  Get ready for a new month, now, and have a nice three days. Sy-O-nara.

Sniffing Cats

He and She have this stuff that they spray on the door, and it is supposed to make us calm and friendly. So far, it has not kept Kate out of the bedroom, but we all have high hopes that it will work. This should make Kate happy about staying in Her computer room. She is sleeping under the desk and not bothering me, so I guess it's a good plan.  She told Her beloved Crones about it last evening.
I was kind of pleased to see that the delivery guy brought a big package full of fish for our dinners in the next few weeks. When the fish place has a sale, She takes advantage of it, and Her favorite kind of sale is when the delivery is free. He just loves fish, and they don't eat very much other kind of meat. Maybe some chicken and stuff.  I mostly like the fish, but pizza is good, too.
It might be the way that the stuff they spray makes me feel, but it is all good right now. More details tomorrow. Bye.

Encouraged Cats

It turned out that She feels so bad about the unfriendly cat situation that She consulted a cat doc. The doc said that He and She did it all wrong. They should have kept Kate away from us when she first came to live here, until we could all get used to the smell of each other. The doc said it isn't too late, though. Find a place to put Kate so Kasey and I can come out and feel at home in the house again.  Then when Kate realizes we live here, too, let her back out. But first, spray some magical stuff in our rooms so that we are more relaxed and groovy.  He went and got the stuff this morning. I haven't smelled it yet, but I believe relaxing will be a good thing.  She didn't think They needed to keep Kate separated from us, because she had been in here about a gazillion times when she lived next door and was an outside cat.
I'll tell you a secret, though. She must love us very much, because She is very particular about spending money, and it cost money to get help from the doc. I know I appreciate Her. I think Kasey just likes Her because He does, and Kate just likes the treats and the catnip.  I'll keep you posted on how this works out. TTYL

Little Things Cats

There is nothing new here today, except for some little things. Nothing is new about Kate, and She is trying to think of a new plan. Then there is the little time She had with coffee-the-drink with  a good friend. Here is what I heard Her say about this guy: Nobody understood him when They first knew him. His mother had just died and he was deep in grief. All that helped him was music. The guy went to Their church for the music. He had never been in that kind of church before, ever. He is a big guy and he kind of scared people. The people got him out of there, and She has never gotten over it. She is happy the guy has found a way to make his life work. I guess that isn't such a little thing after all.
Another little thing is how She falls down. Today She did it again, and once again, some lovely people helped Her up. Nothing hurt her.  Hey, that's not so little, either. Well, the other thing about today is a very very big thing. It is Hana'sGran's birthday today. H'sG and She had their birthday lunch last week, but She has been thinking good things about her all day.
Come to think of it, none of today's things were little things. Ha. I was fooled. Chow for now.

Disappointed Cats

Kasey and I are disappointed that we couldn't be friends with Kate. We have loved her for a long time. When she used to come and visit us, we were happy to see her. When she came here to live, she was very comfortable and liked being inside.. What she didn't like was us getting attention from Her. It would get better, She told us, but it didn't. It got worse. She would hiss and snarl and growl at us, and if we tried to come out of Their bedroom, Kate would attack us. We do not have claws, so an attack from Kate could hurt. It was a joke, She thought, that a little tiny girl-cat like Kate could scare a big guy like me, but you know I have never been brave. I'm just a big snuggle-bug.  When Kate attacks Kasey, they both yow very loud and it makes Him kind of mad.  Last night She told Kate's old Mom that we had to find something else for her. One thing nobody wants is for Kate to go to a place where they kill cats. Kate'sOldMom said she would try to find a place if we would give her some time. She will be surprised when she sees Kare, who has gotten quite roly-poly now that she can't go out and clime trees and fences and run around the neighborhood. The kitty seems so happy here. Kate has learned not to worry about us, since she keeps us in one place. She lounges on the furniture and shows Her her belly, which is a sign that she is a happy cat.  He is disappointed that it isn't working. She is heartbroken, and Kasey and I are two really disappointed cats. I don't think Kate realizes what is happening, because she loves it here so much. I have to go now. Bye.

Playful Cats

It is not my style to laugh at other cats or people when they are in trouble, but it is all I can do to keep my whiskers straight because of what Kate did today. All day long Kate has been a little beggar, wanting some of Her breakfast, some of His treats, Kate would bump her head on Them to get extra attention. A while ago, while She was checking Her messages, Kate came in and bothered until she got some treats. When she wanted more, and She ignored her, Kate went and got on the kitchen counter. We are not supposed to do that, you know, but Kate did, and knocked over Her beloved Eddie-cup that She has used every day since She got it. The cup broke and She is mad at Kate. The little cat is in big trouble and I am not laughing. You know I'm not. I am not that kind of cat. OK, maybe just a little bit.
I was feeling kind of chipper anyway, because She came in with a plastic tape that She got off a package. She remembered how I loved to play with those things before Kate, and She and I played for a really long time. I was worn out after awhile, but She played with me until I nearly fell asleep. She told Him I purred louder than I have in a long time. So I am not sad today, except for Her losing Her precious cup. He has company now, so I'm going back to my room. Bye.

Weary Cats

You are my important people, my readers, and I don't mean to burden you with my problems, but I am getting very tired of the way things are, and so is Kasey. I am a little upset with Her, because She told me everything would be just fine. Yes, I am talking about my new sister, Kate. It has been three months since Kate came here to live with us, and she loves it here, but she doesn't like Kasey and me. Today Kate went charging at Kasey, and everyone know you just don't do that. Here is what She has tried. She has put Kate and me together and petted both of us at once. That worked while She was doing the petting, but next day Kate was not interested in being friends. Another thing She tried was putting down some catnip. That kind of worked. Now I am waiting for some new method of making friends. Kate is a sweet kitty, and very funny sometimes, but we are kind of stuck until Kate lets me out of the bedroom.  I'll keep you posted, but if you have any other ideas, let me know.
The thing She is tired of, besides the cat-business is all the money wasted on ads about whom to vote for.  Both sides tell fibs, and both sides say silly things. He and She like the President the way he is, and don't want to change. This is a problem, because there are a really lot of weeks until the voting, and I don't like to hear Her screaming. Tomorrow is bound to be a better day, so cheerio for now.
