Mom's home.

She got her stuff out of the car, came right in and called the shelter! She's really going to do it! I'm going to get a new kitty! She's going in the morning at 8 o'clock. I'm going to be sure and run in the house as soon as the big man opens the door in the morning so I can wake her up and get her there on time.

Some people men came over today and took all our stuff out of the garage. I was playing with them some and they played back just a little. Then they put big plastic bags on the floor. They got some stinky stuff in buckets and smeared it on the walls. They did that all day long. I hung around a bit, got on top of their car and licked myself for a while. I noticed the garage looked a lot brighter when they left.

Mom says she's glad to be back where its warm. She's crazy because it is not warm here, it is hot. She said North Carolina is a very cold place. She said that about the mountains a couple of weeks ago too. The big man just says she's an amphibian.

The big man is glad Mom is home. They were talking and she said the next time she drives to the airport, it will be when they go to get on the big boat in a place called Florida. I think it is only a few days and nights before they go. All I know is I better have a new kitty before they leave, or I'm using the new garage walls for a scratching post.

I can't wait until tomorrow. I hope the new kitty is cool, just like me. I am a cool cat.

I didn't get caught on the big man's new laptop last night. Thank goodness. Mom is out of town at a place called North Carolina. She is not happy because it is cold there. The big man says that 70 is not cold, but Mom says it is. Then the big man says Mom is an amphibian. I don't know what that is but Mom denies it.

Back to those people babies.....

Me and Mom like to go out on the nice porch with a screen in the morning and drink coffee when it is not too cold. Sometimes she reads the paper out there, sometimes the paper blows away and she gets mad and goes in the house. Well, not when the people babies are here! Oh no! They get up early and start bothering me first thing. I was out on the nice porch with a screen enjoying my coffee, when here they come, right out in their sleeping clothes. A cat can't get any relief when they are here.

Mom is coming home tomorrow. She promised she would go to the shelter when she gets back and get me a new kitty. She and the big man are going away on a vacation next week and if I don't get a new kitty before then, I'll be here by myself and I will not like that at all. I won't be able to write here when they are gone because I'll be locked out of the house.

Mom said a people man is coming to look at our guest house to see if he wants to live there. That will be good as I will have a place to hide when she doesn't treat me right. Maybe I'll make friends with him and he'll let me hang out at his place when the people babies are around. I know he'll like me, everybody likes me because I am a cool cat.

A long update......

Well, first Mom and the big man did not come home Friday night. They went to some party called a graduation and spent the night with somebody. I was not pleased. I am ready for a new cat and if Mom is never home, I'm never going to get one. Since she didn't come home Friday night, I didn't come home until late Saturday. Let her see how it feels.

Remember a few weeks ago those people babies came to stay with us for 2 days and 2 nights? I bet yall thought that was fun. No.

People babies are a lot of trouble is what they are. They get into everything. Mom told them to leave us alone (that's when Sister was still here). Sometimes they would leave us alone for a few minutes, but only to get into something else. If I got into Mom's cabinets like that, I'd get squirted with the red spray bottle. But look at those people babies! Do they look they're getting sprayed????

I tried to stay away from them as much as I could. But whenever they would get fussy, Mom would say, "where's the kitty?" and they'd come looking for us.

Black Hair Girl is too fast and she has big feet. She steps on me. Red Hair Boy didn't know the difference in "kitty" and fake rooster, but I didn't care. At least I didn't have two people babies stepping on me at the same time.

I don't know why we have to have people babies over at our house. Mom just acts all goofy about them. This morning she was telling the big man how much she missed them and wanted to see them. I was thinking to myself, "how do you think I feel?" I've been without Sister for a bunch of days and nights and I was promised a new kitty. I think I should get a new kitty before those people babies come back.

I have more to write about those people babies, but right now I have to go. Mom is not home and I'm on the big man's new laptop. He doesn't know I use it because I'm pretty sneaky about it. I just noticed I have some kitty litter on my paws and I don't want it getting stuck in the keyboard. I like being sneaky because I am a cool cat.

Challenged Cat

Mom got home last night very late. She was so tired she didn't even get her suitcase out of the car, she just went in and went to bed. It was almost morning time.

I don't know how she does all this work stuff. Her clothes never get to go in the drawers anymore, she just takes them out of the big black suitcase, washes them and packs them right back in it. It hasn't always been like this. She used to have a bunch of days and nights at home before she'd pack up and go away, but lately she has more days and nights away from home.

I don't like it because she's not here to do stuff for me. I haven't had special cat treats in a month. That is unacceptable. She is going to the new Walmart today, it just opened yesterday, and I know Walmart has cat treats. If she comes back without them, I'm going to scratch something.

We got some disappointing news this morning from Mom's mom. The mom cat and three kittens that were at their house are gone now. Maybe they went back to their real house. This means that we will be getting a new kitty from the shelter. Now the shelter kitties are fine but that means we have to take what we get and I don't get to do interviews and pick the one I like best.

This news has depressed me and all I have done this morning is lay around and mope. It hasn't done me any good, Mom still says this is what we are going to do. I want to pick my new sister/brother/friend. Hanging out with the wrong cat can ruin a guy's reputation. I've worked hard to to get my reputation and I don't want to mess it up. I am a cool cat.

Well, here I am. Mom got my blog set up finally.

The 3 kittens and the mom cat are coming home with Mom and the big man tomorrow. We are going to interview them all over the weekend and decide which one we will keep. I know I haven't met them yet, but I'm thinking it wouldn't be a big deal to keep them all. Mom says she has a 2 cat limit. She said that if she had more than that the neighbors would call her the crazy cat lady.

That punk Jesse's people called Mom the other night before she left with her big black suitcase. I was sitting right there by the phone. Jesse's people told Mom I was beating up Jesse. I kept telling Mom to tell them Jesse is a punk and he needs a good tail whoopin. She just kept apologizing. She told them to squirt me with water next time.

Well, next time I'll just drag him over to someone else's yard to whoop him.

Mom was supposed to be home tonight at bedtime. She called and told the big man her plane was late because it is raining in a place called North Carolina. It will be very very late when she gets home. She is very tired. If her big black suitcase wasn't so heavy, I'd drag it in for her so she could just go to bed.

I have been lonesome while Mom has been gone and the big man has been at work. The neighbors people kids will be out of school soon and they are fun to play with. The girl kid puts ribbons on me and the boy kid tries to hold me in his wagon and pull me around the yard. When the people kids are at school, I like to sleep on the neighbor's porch. They have nice rocking chairs with fluffy pillows and they like me.

Everyone except Jesse's people likes me because I am a cool cat.
