Things to Purr about

Privacy? Feh.

See I don't understand why the Human doesn't want me to follow him everywhere.  I'm stuck all day long in the house with my sister, and when the Human comes home, he expects to have some privacy?  Please.  I want to latch on to him with all my claws.  And what does he do?  He shoos me out of the little room with all the water sounds.

Ok, he did let me sit in his lap for two hours tonight.  I guess that counts for something.

OK I admit it

The Human brought us a new toy.  It's a long stick with a bunch of feathers on the end.  Does he really think we don't know it's fake?  It doesn't even squeak like my other toy.

But I can't stop playing with it.  When the Human drags it around I chase after it until I'm running around in circles.  Then I stop to compose myself.  I can't believe that I'm buying into this insanity.  So I stalk off looking cool and collected.

The very next day, I start batting the feathers around when the Human isn't around.  At least I thought he wasn't around.  "Ah-ha!" he says and strides into the room. "I knew you liked that toy".

Is it wrong that I'm hooked on a bunch of feathers?

Let us shred

Why do humans wear removable fur?  Isn't their own skin good enough?  Our Human has fur items hanging up all over the front room.  He mumbled something about 'dryer', and now there are wet fur pieces around our beds and toys.  I can't belive he expects us to tolerate this situation. Something must be done.

It makes me want to shred something.

Attention

Good.  There are more Humans that are visiting.  We have received lots of attention over the past few days.  And why shouldn't we?  It's obvious that these Humans have come to see us.  They are sleeping in our Room.  And they let us sleep with them on their bed.  They play with us and give us treats and spoil us.

Our Human has been gone all day.  He came home and mumbled something about 'conference' and went straight upstairs.  So it's obvious that these other Humans have been brought in to amuse us.  They are ours now.  We are going to keep them.

The World is Moving

Yikes!  I'm about to jump out of my skin.  Both Humans have been moving the entire world around today.  The couch under which I like to hide during thunder storms is now at the other side of the room.  My private chair has so much stuff piled on it that I can't find a place to sit. Our litter box is out in the middle of the room, although the big Human said some word like 'temporary' or something.  I mean really, how am I supposed to use the bathroom with the whole world watching.  The birds outside of the window can see and everything.  I caught them laughing at me. . .laughing at me!  Just let one of them stray too close to me.  Even now I am working on ways to defeat the glass wall that separates me from their world.

If changing the world around wasn't enough, the Humans used the Big Loud Box a lot today.  I have it on good authority that the Big Loud Box can suck you up if you're not careful.  Since most of my hiding places were gone, I had to crouch in the kitchen until the Box was quiet again.

I just sat and Glared at the big Human for about an hour or so.  He was reading in his chair downstairs like nothing had happened. 

Humans.  You can't live with them, you can't live without them.

Black Jeans

The Human has been home again for the past several days.  When he came in the door we ran over to him and rubbed all over his legs.  He mumbled something about 'black jeans' and ran upstairs.  When he came back, he had on a different kind of skin on his legs.  He sat down and brushed and brushed us.

So what's the big deal about black jeans?

Bribed

I wish the Human would make up his mind.  After leaving us. . .again. . .he suddenly came back and tried to rub my head like nothing had happened.

Hmph.  I turned up my nose and walked over to the window.  Even when he tried the 'cat treat' trick, I ignored him.  Who does he think he is ignoring me for days and then wanting to be friends again.

Then I heard a can pop in the kitchen.  I couldn't help myself.  I ran toward the wonderful smell, singing as I ran.  I'm so ashamed that the Human was able to bribe me like that.

Later, I sat in his lap and warmed my paws.  His stomach was purring like it does sometimes.  All was right with the world again.

Until my sister pushed me off his lap.

Nice Human

The lady with the creaky knees played with me today.  She got my pet bird and made it fly all over the room.  I jumped and I jumped but I couldn't reach it.  The lady also scratched my ears and all under my chin.

I think I will make her my new pet.

Again

Well.

Our Human has left us.  Again.  Maybe we punished him too much when we shredded his robe.  Heh heh.

That's ok.  We know the other Human will feed us and the Lady with the creaky knees will play with us.  Our Human held us again and told us he would be back before he left.

I wonder where he goes?

Home

He's home!  He's home he's home he's home!  Our Human came in the door last night, sat down and let us climb all over him.

The other Human and the Lady with the creaky knees have been feeding us and playing with us; but we miss our own pet Human.  We didn't give him permission to leave. . .who does he think he is?  We will have to think of a suitable punishment.
