Spooky Cats

This is a special day for humans, and like most of the special days, I don't quite get it. It seems as if kids are supposed to dress up in costumes and go to every house and tell you to give them candy or they will do something to you. It sounds very rude, and also not funny. Trouble is, She just loves it, and gets candy to give the kids.  It is a night of mischief, and not a good night for cats to be out.  The idea is that it is about witches, and cats are known for being friends with witches, so people think it is OK to chase them, or even hurt them. Don't worry about us. We will be tucked away safely in here.  I hope Kate is safe somewhere, too. She is gray all over, and that is a scary kind, they say. Not as scary as black, but I still hope she is safe tonight.  I don't know why they have to make things scary and have to give candy away. As a matter of fact, He and She know some witches, and so do Kasey and I.  The ones we know are kind and helpful and believe in taking care of the earth. Mostly, She likes to see the little kids in funny costumes. We have done this before, but I will be glad when it's over.  I hope all of you get treats and no tricks tonight. Oh, and don't worry about ghosts. They can't hurt you. Toodles.

Stormy Cats

Things are nice and sunny here where we live, but He and She can't stop talking about a big storm that is happening somewhere else. They have looked at pictures and listened to reports. She has read notes from so many of Her beloveds who were living where the storm happened. So far, everyone is OK, but the worst of the storm has left a lot of floods and broken houses and bridges and things. Besides the big waves in the ocean and the rain, there has been a lot of wind and even snow. It is very unusual for a storm to go to the places where this storm is. She was glad to hear from Her brother and Her darling Mazie that everything there is OK, then She found out Her Eddie-girls managed to get by without any damage.  You can't believe that everyone has stopped talking about the big election coming next week and are talking about the storm. He and She are worried that people won't be able to vote where that storm was. Our guy needs all his votes.
Still no sight of Kate, although He puts out food, just in case. I will be glad if Kate found another house to live in. Kate is really a nice cat - she just isn't used to other cats sharing her people.
I hope all the people who read my stories are safe and happy. It is a good feeling to be safe and happy. More tomorrow, readers. Bye.

Monday Cats

This is a Monday, and He is not going to the doc. His bandage is off of His arm, and things look very healed up. She is baffled as to why He took off the bandage, since the doc said it needed to be on there until a certain day, and this isn't the day. She knows He will say He has a good reason, and there is no sense to argue.
Kasey and I have about decided that Kate is gone for good. She has not come back anywhere near the house, and has not been back to her old house, as far as They can tell.  It is Her opinion that she has run away to find a more exciting family.  Maybe Kate is on her way to find her old family, with the kids and the little dog. All She knows is that she isn't around here.  Since Kate has been gone, Kasey and I have wandered into our old spots. Yesterday I slept in my sun spot fr the first time in a long while. It felt very nice.  My favorite thing is that I can get up on Her lap and get snuggles without a duel with Kate. Kasey and I have run all around the house, for good exercise.
He and She are reading and hearing about a big storm that is happening far away where Her brother lives, and Mazie, and Her OperaGirl. She heard that everyone is OK so far. He and She and Kasey and I are sending very good hopes that everything turns out OK for them.  Just when you think you have troubles, along comes something that makes you glad you are not in a storm or snow or a bunch of water.  More later.

Divided Cats

Kasey and I have divided feelings about our missing sister, Kate.  Half of our feelings want Kate to come home safely, and the other half are enjoying our freedom around the house.  We have spent the last bunch of weeks being scared of Kate, scared of going out of the bedroom, even the closet, because Kate is bossier even than Kasey - and that is very bossy.  He and She are worried about Kate, because They are responsible, but no matter where He looks, Kate is nowhere to be seen.  Here is what I hope. I hope that Kate got tired of being inside here all day and night, when she was used to being able to meet with friends, climb up trees and chasing dogs. It is a different world for Kate than it was for Kasey, when she was outside. Kate has claws, for one thing, and she spent most of her time outside, where Kasey had never been farther than the edge of the patio. She tells me it is going to be alright, so I won't spend a lot of time worrying. I have enough to worry about just being a scaredy cat.
Tomorrow, LW'sMom is going to be a real Reverend, and there will be a big meeting to see that happen.  She wishes She had enough skills to go to see that, but She doesn't walk very well, remember, and She falls down a lot. That would take people's mind off of LW'sMom, wouldn't it.
What She hopes is that someone takes a lot of pictures.  Have to go help Her fix dinner now. Cheerio.

Display Cats

The project that He has been working on is all about displays. That means He and His helpers are making some little models of what things look like. When You look at the displays, you are supposed to see a real-life thing, only a small copy of it. It would be on a piece of wood, and would have a cover on it so you don't have to dust it.  He believes that people who are interested in the big things would like to have a model of the thing, only little. She tries to keep Herself separated from the business of the project. She wants Him to feel good about His project, and can't wait until He sells the things. When money goes out, She wants money to come in. That's just how She is.
Kate has not come back to our house, even though it has gotten cold outside.  His helper guy says he saw Kate out in the neighborhood, so we have kind of high hopes about that. Meanwhile Kasey and I are not relaxing our guard. We don't want to have to get used to staying in the bedroom all over again.
You should see what She is fixing for our dinner tonight. There are sausages that smell like pizza, and She is cooking onions and some green stuff to mix with it. I might try the sausage, but the rest, well, He is welcome to it. I'll check back with you tomorrow and tell you how things are going.

Frantic Cats

Kasey and I never believed this would happen. Oh, yes, we talked about it, and joked about it. When it happened to Kasey, after what she went through, we were certain it would never happen. But it has happened, and we are frantic. This morning, when He went out to feed the birds, of all things, Kate got out. He was so surprised that he only started chasing her when she was far ahead, and there she went - over the fence, and gone. He and She looked all over. It was kind of like when Kasey got out, but we didn't see that happen, so we weren't sure Kasey wasn't hiding inside, but Kate - we were sure she was outside.   All day She expected Kate to be at the door. All the years she lived next door, she came to our front door every day, and came over the fence to our back yard, too.  Today Kate was nowhere to be found. Did she go visit another neighbor, a friend from when she didn't live here? Is she waiting by her old house, thinking the people might come home? Or has she climbed a tree and is watching us look for her, and laughing at us. Kasey and I will remain on out guard, because as soon s we believe she is gone, she will be back. It is just frantic around here.
It is supposed to get very cold and stormy tonight.  That means that He and She won't be resting a moment until They find that little gray and silver cat. Wish us luck.

Sleepy Cats

To start with, He took all the blankets off the bed so He could put them in the wash. That left just a white cover on the bed, and I must say, it was really inviting. Kasey and I curled up on that white cover and snoozed most of the day away. Of course, every time She came in the room, there was a lovely petting session. She thinks it is easier to pet me when I am on the bed. I love those pets.  A strange thing was that He liked to snooze on that white cover, as well. Early this morning, he was working on His project, but then, after His helper came, He had to lie back down, only this time without the covers on the bed. It made Her kind of worried that He needed to take so many naps. He felt very sleepy one other day, and here He was, sleepy again.  She says sometimes He is up, sometimes He is down. He seems to be in a down time now, but His helper kept working all day. The one who wasn't sleepy today was She. For one thing, She doesn't like to sleep in the daytime, and for another, She sleeps just fine at night. I tell Her She doesn't know what She is missing, because Kate, Kasey and I are happy if we sleep most of the day and night.
She is glad She is not sleepy, because She wants to go and visit with Her beloved Crones. She says the place where the Crones meet has some delicious coffee when it is this time of year. She will be at the Crone meeting during dinner time, so She isn't fixing anything for us tonight.  I'll bet you eleven kibbles that she fixes fish tomorrow. Hope you have a pleasant sleep tonight. Buh Bye.
