The Cat Room

Some friends playing around

Stare

I have been having a staring contest with the Human for the past several minutes.  I won.

I always win 'cause the Human starts laughing.  Humans are easily amused.

Vacation

We got to visit the Lady with the creaky knees two times over the last month.  We love going over there, because we get spoiled (as is our rightful due).  The Lady has a real couch, unlike the Human's 'futon' thingie.  For some reason, however, she doesn't like us digging our claws into her persian rug.  Other than that, we enjoyed our vacations there.  Plus, when we got back home, we had two new beds!  Bonkers has staked out the large round bed, whilst I have laid claim to the covered, tunnel bed.  Plus, it is getting cooler outside, so the Humans have opened all the windows and doors.  We can smell smells and see all of our outdoor friends through the screens.

Life is good. 

I was all comfy and stuff

I'm sitting in the Human's lap.  It's warm there, and I'm very content.

So who does he think he is standing up and pushing me out?  He said something about going to the bathroom.  Can't he hold it?  So he leaves and goes upstairs.  A few minutes later he comes back, and makes that annoying 'here kitty kitty' sound with his lips.

As if.

Windows to the world

We love this time of year.  The Human opens all the windows for the first time since the beginning of summer.  All those smells and sounds!  We can actually hear the squirrels and dogs and kitties.  But before we know it, the windows will be shut up again to keep the cold out.  So we will sit in the window sills and enjoy it while we can.

Yup, I urped

Sometimes I have hairballs.  'Cause I tend to clean everything with my tongue. . .myself, Miss Daisy, the Human.  Other times, I eat too fast.

So I urped today.  On the rug.  Near the Human's chair in the front room.

I feel better now.

He is not amused

The Human has a new Noisy Machine toy.  It appears to like eating paper.  We are sure that it would like to eat Kitties too, so we run and hide when the Human takes it out.

One nice thing is what the Noisy Machine spits out. . .lots of mashed paper.  Somehow the Human left some of it in a bag, and we decided to play with it.  We wanted to spread the paper evenly around the front room, of course.

The Human was not amused.

Wake up call

For some reason, our Human slept in today.  The other Human got up and went to work, but ours stayed in bed until late in the morning.

Now we know the value of sleep.  We spend enough time ourselves in our beds, especially as we get older.  But the Humans aren't supposed to sleep in.  When we want something, we want to know that the Human is there to respond immediately.

So we both sat outside his room and sang to him.  All morning.  Loudly.  Finally, he stuck his head outside the door and said "what?" in that irritated voice he sometimes has.  Of course, we told him what we expected.  For some reason, he didn't get it, and went back into his room.

But he made one mistake.  He left the bedroom door open. 

We waited until he was asleep again, and then jumped on his bed and began licking his face.  He hates it when we do that.

Score one for the cats.
