The ahhh factor
So here I am all cozy on my ma. (Ma has a pillow on her lap). Dad had to get that 'flashy box' and disturb my harmony.He does this all the time for some reason. I think he is jealous or something.

Chalk one up for me!
Today was the yearly trip to the v-e-t. Mom brought up the blue cage and wiped it off and unscrewed the top. Yeah, I was watching...she didn't think I was. When it came time, they (the human bro) treated me like a Thanksgiving turkey-stuffing me in 'the pot' (cage) and putting the lid on to let me cook for a while. How mean is all that? So I started crying in the driveway and they both laughed (she let my human bro drive). I was miserable the entire way.
When we got there it smelled like about a dozen doggies had the runs. Even mom gagged! They lead us to a room and the assistant got the scale. I moved around a bit, but she settled on the weight-14 pds. 7 oz! Whoa! I was 13 pds 13 oz last year. Yeah, I like the food in those pouches and rarely leave any leftovers in the dish. The vet came in and she was young and new. Dr. Corinna had the highest voice-kinda got on my nerves. She said my teeth looked fine. But I heard her say to give me only half a pouch (1.5 oz of food in the morning and evening-is she crazy?) I can have a few servings of dry food (1/4 cup each). I got my rabies shot and didn't even cringe. So there! Diet-I'll not starve-I plan on practicing my begging at least 20 times a day now. And get this...when I was waiting for ma to pay the bill, stuck back in the cage, Ma and Sean were making a big fuss over this white fluffy cat with a pink nose and lips. She thought it was a girl, but it was a boy named 'Larry'! HA-I heard her say that mom-mom would like him. Oh great. Sean really liked him-the heck with them. Back to vocalizing!!

Let me outta here!
Gang, it's been a rough day. Mom was putting that stinky stain stuff on my favorite window and kept telling me to stay away from it all day. The entire house stinks thanks to her. About 4:30, I couldn't take it anymore and up I went on the window! Well she had a bird and put me down the basement for punishment. I did leave some pawprints in the stuff (told you I would). I heard her saying (in my position on the top step under the door), that she needs to sand it and add more stinky stuff to it! The funniest thing was when she went to pour herself more ice tea, it was milk instead!! Ha ha you mean lady!!
This is me looking at her using the 'flashy box' outside. She did have me out for a long time to 'clear her head' and to make me tired. It didn't work, did it!?

Cute
After your 'buggy' ride, you can go play with your toys-that look like sushi!
Cat bonding
Remember I told you about my uncle adopting a little tuxedo (I think) he named Langston? Well, didn't that little guy go and bond with his doggie brother Baxter the dalmation! My uncle was telling mom-mom this and she told mom. Now, it's not really unusual because the cat and dog are together all day. I, of course am bonded with ma. She said when I first came into the house, she'd sit on the floor with a big towel over her and let me climb in her lap. Dad did a few things that scared me and I hurt ma bad-twice. I snagged her across the palm of her left writing hand! She had about a two inch long deep scratch. The only thing that would heal it was that glue stuff. Dad had startled me when it happened. The other time, he tossed me on the soffie which made me mad and scared me and I ran across to ma and bit her on her right lower arm. I left a puncture in her arm and she cried because she was more upset that I wasn't going to love her. Well, I do and tonight I am keeping to myself because she keeps yelling at me to get off the windowsill. She is getting ready to put some stinky stain on the wood. I heard dad and her talking about how to keep me off of it until the stain dries. Are they crazy! I hate that stinky stuff. But, wouldn't it be funny if I left a few paw prints in it like they do at the place in Hollywood? Hee, hee!

Almost a CATastrophe!
Ma was out looking around the yard today. She hasn't been doing this a lot lately, I think she's getting ready to hibernate for the winter or something! Boy does she have a love of stuff to put away! Ha!
Anyhoo, when she went to come in the front door, I scooted out. She hasn't let me 'be free' without the harness since the 'hill incident'. I was sniffing around, minding my own kitty business when I stopped dead in my tracks in front of the big evergreen. I could not believe my eyes! Ma thought I saw a squirrel or bird, but it was my archenemy the tuxedo cat from a few doors down! Ma scooped me up and almost threw me in the door! Well I stood at that door and Ma said I sounded like a bull-making noises through my nose, hissing, growling, etc.! Ma closed the door and ushered me into the kitchen for some Feline Greenies. I will say they helped a lot. Treats usually do. I'll be watching for Mr. Tuxedo!

Investigator Cosmo at your service!
Today was a good day. I got to go out after asking for days and days! It's been rainy and windy, so I guess I understand. I was cold too for a change. So here I am looking and sniffing toward the bank in the back yard. You remember the one I escaped down about a month ago? And lookie-there's the dreaded purple leash/harness around me. My hair is up on my back-I must have smelled something interesting!
So I got to investigate the shed a bit too. I could smell mice-whoa! It was too overwhelming for me.
I had a blast taking it all in.
