Happy Easter!

 

Today I heard a bird hit the window so I yelled, "I wanna go outside!".  Jean came and opened the door.  I immediately went under the bush where the dove had landed.  I patted it and made it flutter its wings.  While I was sitting there thinking what to do next Jean dragged me out by my tail!  That was so rude!  She told me if I didn't watch it I'm going to have to start wearing my leash again (see picture).  The best thing was to get away from the bush for the time being until I can catch her not watching, then I'll get under there and see if the dove is still there.  I used to chase rabbits under that bush but they are pretty big and I decided that might not be such a good idea, no telling what a mad rabbit might do!  Next I went over to an area behind the bird block and scared up two quail, I made them fly away.  I am a mighty hunter on this day!  Tonight I'm going to dream of all these adventures and tomorrow I'm going to see if I can catch the Easter bunny, whatever that is.  I hope it's not mean.

 

 

Well, it's been a really long time since I posted!  Jean says we'll try to do it once every week or two.  I hope so! 

Here is a picture of me just letting the breeze blow on my belly while I relax and have a little cat nap.

I am almost 16 now.  I wasn't feeling too great but I'm on an all raw food diet and I get two squirts of coconut oil twice a day.  I am not fond of getting things squirted in my mouth but I have to admit that it does make me feel better and I really like the raw food.  I have always had a bowl of dry food and that is gone, I miss it.  I don't miss eating it, I just miss it being there in case I need it.  The raw food makes me feel like a wild cat.  Not that I have ever gone out and caught my food, yuck!  Food should be served in a bowl well prepared for a cat like me. 

 



Buffet

It's a cool, windy day today.  A good day to stay inside and have a snuggle in a warm bed!  

I found out what a buffet is and I like buffets!  About a week ago, I threw up so Jean gave me a little canned cat food with some extra water and some raw steak chopped up real fine.  I was in her studio where my bowl of dry food always has been so she brought the other two bowls and put them in a row beside my dry food, so it was dry food, raw beef, then canned food, then water glass.  I was amazed at the choices!  I wanted to enjoy and take it all in because this was special to a cat who only has one thing at a time!  I sat in front of the bowls, looking back and forth for a minute just savoring the concept of "buffet".  Then, I walked around the dishes deciding how and where I wanted to start.  Then, I sat for a while again just enjoying.  My tummy was more than ready for me to eat so I started.  One bite of dry food, one bite of beef, one bite of canned food and repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat and just because it was so fun I couldn't help myself........repeat!  I finished off with a nice drink of water.  WOW!  That was fun!  Since then, I've been looking sadly to the right where the other two bowls sat when Jean gives me food, but she just ignores me!  I'm trying to be a really good kitty since I can't just throw up when I want to, well not always anyway.  I hope if I'm really good, I'll get to have a buffet again!

Wizard Willie

You might not know this about me but I'm a wizard.  I'm the cat behind all the animals at Hogwarts. I had to stay behind the scenes or in the shadows because I would have stolen the show and since I'm the one with the real powers, I didn't want to make the others look bad.  Being a wizard is a serious job, takes a lot of thought and planning.  Here I am all exhausted, writing spells is hard!

Happy Days!

They are finally back home.  It was a rough week!  One good thing about Jean getting back from a trip is that she gives me more attention and I act pitiful so I get as much as I can.  I'm hanging over her knee which is my favorite place in the whole wide world and getting my neck scratched.  I also had a tad of fresh catnip.  I am told that tomorrow is a work day......that means I may have to model!  I'm hoping they'll be painting fruit or something, anything besides cat!  

I just can't believe it!

They are leaving again!  This time Tom's going because his bag is packed.  I keep up with all this since nobody tells me anything!  I know how many bags and who they belong to.  I also know when the big cooler on rollers gets loaded up they are only going for a day to get a lot of groceries.  
There is a rabbit living behind a bush by the back door.  I went out late yesterday afternoon and the rabbit wouldn't get away from the door.  I was afraid it was going to try to come in the house or maybe it was going to bite me when I tried to come in, it was very annoying!  I couldn't concentrate and have much fun for that pesky rabbit so I had to catch it not looking and make a dash for the door.  It sits outside the door and stares at me when I'm looking out.  I thought rabbits were afraid of cats, I just don't get these rabbits!  I think they are mean and devious and may not even be real rabbits, there's just no telling!  
Steve will be here to stay with me some of the time, I'll be alone a lot more than I want to be!  I sure hope Steve doesn't let the rabbit come in the house!
I'll tell you how my week went when Jean gets back so I can use the computer......sigh.

You just never know!

I was minding my own business taking a nap.  Tom did another painting of me today, thankfully he did it from a photograph but he needed me to model for a few minutes to get some detail right so I was dragged up out of my nice warm bed to work........On Sunday!  I should join a union!
