5,432 fur licks
That's how many times ma says I licked myself this morning (and yesterday too) when I got up and laid next to her butt in bed. Said it was like that 'Rent' song. She lets me up from the basement on the weekends and feeds me and hops back in bed. I find her, climb on her and usually leave and come back again. She said I was really annoying this weekend and touched me to make me stop licking my fur-I lost count dang-it! I also put my teeth on her hand.
I did a bad thing to the new kitchen floor. When I was kicking the heck out of the fringy throw rug out there, I went overboard and jumped up and ran like a crazy Looney Tunes character with the spinning feet! Dad saw some scratches on the floor. Ma was not happy as the floor is only 2 days old! Yikes. Looks like I'm getting my front claws clipped every week now.

Cacoon
Here's a cool cat house, scratcher and whatever found over at Velocity (thanks to Shopping Blog for pointing ma there). The thing is corrugated cardboard, which I like as mentioned earlier. Can I borrow $290 from someone to get this?

Checking things out
Here's the new floor out in the kitchen-it's purrfect! I had to have my harness on for 5 hours today while those slowpoke installers made a lot of dust and noise out in the kitchen. I thought this was over now! I heard ma talking to a lady about windows. Geez, will it ever end?
And I really am starting to love cardboard-it's cool to lay on and has a nice smell.
I almost furgot-after mom took the harness off, I scrambled downstairs to use the litterbox-whew, that was a long time to hold my water!

Before I furgit
The second day (Friday) of the kitchen thingie went better. Mom's dim lightbulb in her head finally went off and she got the dreaded purple cat harness. She put it on me and brought me in the family room and tied me to a few places. When I calmed down, I climbed on her lap. This is what I wanted and needed all along. Then she got up and I stayed on the soffie and was happy the rest of the day. I got to outside a bit too.
Ma did give me the new litterbox for in place of the old one. I have to really maneuver in it as it's missing the ledge the other one had that I would use to perch on to piddle. It smells better too!

Stuck in a triangle
I really got myself in a stew Friday night. I went out into the new kitchen and was investigating. The place doesn't really have that many smooth surfaces to jump up onto yet! I jumped up on one of the only spots that does and there was a triangle-shaped corner with no counter. I could see all the way down to the floor. Well, you guessed it, my curiosity got the best of me and down I went! It was way too small and then I couldn't get out again as the sides of the cabinets were slippery. I stretched my feet way up, but I just couldn't boost myself out. Mom had to climb up on the cabinet and reach way down and grab me by the scruff of my neck like my cat mama did. I was out! Mom said some of her fingers hurt for hours because of having to grab me that way. At least it wasn't her neck! I am fine, no problem. I won't be going into tight corners ever again!

I'm a wreck!
So I had to be closed in one of bedrooms today! I slept through most of the noise, but when I wanted to get out, they wouldn't let me! So I managed to paw the door open and escape, right out the opened back door and no one even noticed. Mom saw the bedroom door opened and quickly went outside and was calling me. Dad is the one who nabbed me around the corner of the house! Darn-it! Back in the bedroom I tried to escape again and mom hit her head hard on the door frame. So she tied the door knob to the other door knob and I was in there for hours. I had food and my litterbox, but I cried and cried and kept looking out the windows.
When I finally got let out, I couldn't believe all the weird smelly men stinkiness in my kitchen-if it really is my kitchen. It looks so different! Man, it better have a special cabinet for me somewhere out there!

Wow-what a view!
So this is the last view from this counter out this window I will get. And you know what, there's a flippy reddish brown bird in a nest in the bush there! If only I could get my paws on it as it was squawking at mom tonight.
I hear the next few days will be kinda hairy. I have a second litter box upstairs-does that mean I'm a grown up now?

What the heck are these?
Guys, my entire living room is full of these brown monster boxes. I can't even investigate all the corners. I'm headed for under the soffie.

The morning belly-aching continues
I don't know what's wrong with me in the morning. I've been cooped up in the basement all night and I am raring to go! Mom was really mad today and chased me back down in the basement and slammed the door. It was all worth it to see her half awake with hair like a mad woman!
I am eating fine, I get fresh air several times a day too-I feel okay, I guess.
I will say that the house looks different every day as they are moving things around for the kitchen redo next Thursday. I heard I will get to 'go' in the upstairs bathroom if I have to! I get two litterboxes, lucky me! They are worried the noise and all will make me even crazier-just wait-ha ha. ; )

Daylight savings is messing up my clock
Mom said it's been a rough week. I have not been myself in the mornings at all. I bellyache around 8 am and wake mom up. She's a nightowl, so 8 is way early. And I do this after the guys are up. I wish they would pick me up and pet me or just talk to me. I need attention. A few mornings I got up on the bed and mom talked to me and I snuggled next to her and went to sleep. Mom is not happy when she is in a middle of a great dream and she hears me crying-'for no reason'. Geez.
I think being outside on my own triggered my 'wild side' or something. I want to go out all the time now. Mom walked me around the yard yesterday (on the purple harness) but wouldn't let me get too close to the bank and I hissed and pulled a fit. I did get to go around the entire yard though. I like the smells. Hmmm...maybe I just need a nibble of sweet spring grass!

A new view?
So this naked window (almost) was just too tempting and I had to get a 'bird's eye view' of the outside. Dad just had to catch me with my back hair up (naughty sign) and here I am backing carefully off the sink.
My ma said take a good look at this ugly kitchen because in less than 3 weeks it will be a beautiful place where she will make me homemade kitty treats. She didn't say that last part, but I sure hope she is inspired to make me goodies.

F-R-E-E-D-O-M
Mom had this man over yesterday measuring windows-weird, but if I get a new place to look out, ok. So the guy went to the front door and opened it to look at the overhang. He didn't see me sitting right there and out I went. No one knew it for a long time. My human bro Sean happened to look out the dining room window and there I was walking 'freely' across the backyard.
Let me tell you I was like a bird out of it's cage as it was a glorious day.
Of course mom walked slowly over to me, talking in a high voice telling me to 'come to mommy' (geez). I almost got under a sticky bush when she nabbed me! All is good as I got some treats when I got inside. I was so excited about being in the great outdoors that I couldn't eat them all.
