I apologize to everyone. I did not mean to be away so long but I have had a number of adventures. A couple of them were not very much fun at all. The worst was when mommy and daddy went away and left me with Gus and his family.
I like my house. I don’t know why mommy and daddy thought I should go and be in another house. I like my house. This other house had strange smells and things, but mostly it did not have my mommy and daddy. I was scared. Gus tried real hard to be nice to me; and his mommy and daddy were too. But I was scared. I got very sick.
Gus’s mommy and daddy took me to a very strange place. When we were there people shaved my tummy and gave me lots of needles and medicine. I did not have fun. I was scared. Did I tell you, they shaved my tummy. They put gooey things on me. They put needles in my neck and left me with a big lumpy feeling that took a long time to go away. They gave me medicine that made me wobbly.
But I think all these things worked, because my mommy and daddy came back. I got to go home again. I was happy.
Oh I love being brushed. It is one of my favorite things. Sometimes I have to work hard to get either mommy or daddy to come into my room and give me brushes; but when I do, I love it!
Mostly I have to yell, otherwise mommy and daddy stay busy doing unimportant things. Many times I have to stand on my scratching post, like a mountain lion, so they can see me being exciting. When they finally hear me and come over to me, I run in front of them to my room. I jump onto my stand, and look handsome!
They know to brush me then… I love being brushed it makes me feel good! Sometimes mommy or daddy say that they find an extra kitty’s worth of fur on me. I like to sniff the fur and watch them put it in a big white bucket.
About a week ago, Mommy found some owies on my back. She and Daddy thought I had just scratched myself. So she cleaned them up, put some bandage spray on them, and made me wear a t-shirt. I thought I was getting better, but it hurt a lot every time she put bandage spray on it, and I had to cry. But this morning, she found a big bald spot on my back. My owies were now very very big.
So she called the vet (I HATE THOSE PEOPLES!!!) and they said to bring me right in. So Mommy and I got in the car (I love car rides, cars are fun) and Mommy got lost- we did not get out of the car at Timmy’s house?!?! I really don’t like it when she gets lost. She shouldn’t do that- we should only visit my friends.
We go into the vet, and I start crying, and I don’t want them to touch me. But Mommy puts me down anyway. (She’s so mean!) The doctor says that they have to give me nice meds, because I’m being so grumpy. Then they tell Mommy that I have an infection and they have to shave me and clean it out, and give me a very big shot of antibiotics.
Then Mommy left me alone. I don’t really know why she left me alone. But when I woke up, Mommy was standing in front of this really weird cage and trying to get me out! Daddy even came with to pick me up. I was really lucky. They brought me home, and it was so fun! Everything is very exciting, and I fall off of things, and I have to eat a lot and give lots of kisses. It makes Mommy and Daddy laugh a lot. They think I’m cute. So I’m talking to them and telling them lots of stories. They like it when I tell them stories.
This is what the world looks like to me right now.
I like to help Mommy on laundry day. I’m a good helper. I hold things down for her, and I make sure that she trips a lot over me. So without further ado, here are pictures of me helping. (Sorry they’re blurry, Mommy’s phone isn’t very good.) As you can see, first I hopped into the Laundry baskets.
Then I hopped into the tub, and I was playing with the drain plug. It was very exciting!!!
Then I got tired and I had to take a nap. In the piles of clean laundry. Because I know Mommy and Daddy just LOVE my fur all over their clothes!!
Wow, yesterday’s visit with Gus was sure nice.He is my friend.
We had lots of fun and wrestled, talked and chased but now I am tired. I watched birds, laid in the sunshine and yelled lots when Gus got lost. He got lost many times. Sometimes he was lost and hiding behind my back, where I wasn’t looking.
It was so exciting I had to go to sleep… even today I am still sleeping. I get very tired when Gus visits and plays with me.
I came down from my night sleep this morning and cuddled mommy and daddy. I quickly ate my breakfast; I like food. I followed mommy downstairs to her office and quickly laid in her chair… I will churp and purr when mommy or daddy come by and want to give me pets and cuddles. But mostly, I will take a small break and rest from my fun visit. Today I think is going to be a good day; I will sleep some.
Today has been one of those great days. My buddy Gus came to visit me!
I gave Gus great big hugs when he arrived. He hugged me back and made lots of good Gus noises… and hit me on my head with his front paws. I closed my eyes and fell on top of him and hugged him some more. I think he likes my hugs.
Gus’s mommy brought lots of food for me to eat… I like eating Gus’s food best. Gus likes eating mine, too.
We went into my play room; we ran VERY fast around my house. Mommy opened windows for us to look out of and I looked outside. Gus hid from the sunshine and looked out the windows from the back of the sofa. Gus likes being up high; I like being warmed by the sun. We played chase many times around the house. When Gus got lost, I yelled loudly for Gus to come play. He just ignored me. I tried to get Gus to come watch my birds, but he stayed on the ground and looked at other things.
When Gus laid down for too long in my favorite places, I ran and made him move away. He made lots of noises, waved his arms, tried to hit me in the face but he finally left.
Gus and I slept a lot. I got to lay in the sunshine by my window; Gus slept on the sofa and on the dining room table- he likes sleeping up high.
We had a fun time, ate each others food, and used each others litter pans.
