Mom and the bumblebee
I wish you could have seen it!
Mom took me out on the harness for a late afternoon romp before she started dinner. She put on her flip flops and out the front door we went. As we neared the end of the hedge, I heard something that caught my attention inside the hedge. I stopped dead in my tracks and mom was looking to see what was going on and a bumblebee got on her right big toe and stung her! She let go of the leash and was saying 'Ouch' really loud and it scared me. Forget the hedge dweller! I took off for the front door. Mom was frantic and called Sean. When she saw me standing there waiting to go in, she was grateful, but she said I was like a dog! How dare she say that about me! Anyway, mom's toe hurt her a bit and why she put baking soda on it is beyond me. And there wasn't any stinger as bumblebees don't leave theirs behind like wasps. Lucky mom!

Sneaky boy
What is that I smell out the open window? I hope mom doesn't mind me stepping on these dumb plants! Ahhh-she does mind-outta here!

Braver guy
Mom's been letting me stay out longer and longer on the harness these days. We now wonder around various parts of the yard. All this wondering is putting my nose on overtime! I can't get enough of sniffing plants and bushes! Sometimes what I smell grosses me out and I turn away and leave my mouth open a bit. I do this after Sean sticks his finger in my mouth (why?).
Tonight mom walked (and dragged) me around the entire house! If I could have gotten away I would have. I freaked out a bit when we went by the cars. That reminds me of the yearly vet trip. But I had a great adventure and am a bit jittery by it all.
A little bit later, Dad took me out and I was just getting into 'outside' mode and he whipped me in. I was so mad I bit him on the hand and drew blood! Opps, I really didn't mean to get so angry. I love the taste of freedom!

Daily morning routine
My mom's friend said that she likes mom's kind of busy when she can have a blog about her cat! Come on Auntie C, I know you love your upsidedown kitty from across the Atlantic. ; )
So here's what I do every morning:
Someone lets me up from the basement (use to be Sean, now it's Dad during the week and Mom usually on the weekends). I cry for food. I gobble it up if it's palatable, if not I let the food 'ripen' up and maybe it will taste better. For the past few weeks, I venture down the hallway and push open mom's bedroom door and jump up and walk on her. Most times she pushes me off and I just get very close to her and snuggle and we both go to sleep. I do like a few pets on the head first though.
When mom gets up, I do too. She gets her breakfast and heads for the sofa. I am usually very interested in what she has to eat and if I bat my eyes a few times, I'll get a taste. Then when Mom is finished, I'll settle on her lap for a bit.
Last week my world turned upside down in a bad, non-Cossy way. Mom didn't want me on the bed with her and pushed me away! I was mortified! I hung my tail and went and settled in my bed. When she got up I stayed put. When she went on the sofa, I didn't budge. My feelings were hurt like you wouldn't believe it.
Mom did apologize to me later and things are back in a routine again. Thank goodness.

A new toy
Tell me how excited and happy I was when mom presented me with a brand new toy! It's the neatest toy and most fun I've had in ages. It looks like a fuzzy lady bug with a bell attached to the elastic cord. Now there is a thingie in the butt area that you pull and the bug vibrates! I think it has some top quality kitty hash inside it because as soon as I sniffed it, I wanted to destroy it! The elastic band made it even more fun. I was flipping from being on the chair to under the chair-through the chair's slats-I was all over the place! Mom was having a blast watching me act like a bonafide nutcase. Whew-time for a cat nap. Thanks ma, I'm exhausted!
I may look content....
This guy will never get it, deep down I want to scratch his eyes out! I love his woman!

So Brigitte Bardot said...
"I'm really a cat transformed into a woman". Interesting quote there Brigitte because mom thinks I'm her late grandmother 'mom mom'. She said I love and watch over her so much, that I have to be mom mom. Silly lady, mom mom didn't like cats! Remember what she did to your beloved orange tabby Pumpkin? One day your cat is there, the next she is gone. Mom said she was heartbroken with no clear explanation why her cat was gone. Mom said she's had 3 cats so far that she has loved other than poor little Pumpkin. That would be me, Jade and Smudgie and they were girl cats and calicos. Mom's mom is a dog person. I smell stinky 'Hunter' on mom everytime she comes home from her mom's house. Yech!
Hershey squirter
Sometimes I gross myself out, but not often. I had 'an accident' last night on my mom's nightie. I don't know why I let a wet one out on the lady I love most, but she was also totally grossed out. Why do they feed me rich grilled meat? Dad overcooked the meat and Sean and mom didn't like it, but I thought it was scrumptious. As you can see from my previous post, I'll try anything, especially meat.
After sleeping all evening, I jumped up to see mom on the sofa and she grabbed my tummy a certain way, and out came the surprise. Opps-sorry about that. Too bad mom had just had a shower.
