I think we are getting back to normal at our house. The people babies are long gone, the big man does not cry and whine about little rocks in his belly called kidney stones and Mom has been home working hard in her office. She gets up very early in the mornings and puts on her white shoes with laces and a cap and runs away. But she always comes back. I wait for her outside. She always gives me food in my outside bowl when she comes back. Then me and Mom roll around in the living floor doing stretches called yoga. It is not very hot outside, so Mom leaves the door open so I can get in and out by myself through my nice cat hole.

I thought every thing was very nice at our house until today. I got in trouble. I do not like to get in trouble. Mom yelled at me because I ate a rubber band. Mom knows I love rubber bands, they are my favorite toy. I know where she keeps a bunch of rubber bands in her office and I always try to get them. Sometimes if I bother Mom enough, she will give me some rubber bands to play with.

I found out by accident that rubber bands taste good too.

When me and Mom sat down to the paper this morning, she took the rubber band off and put it on the table. So I ate it.

Mom got all worked up about me eating the rubber band. It is not like she needed that rubber band, she has a bunch of them in her office, you would think she would a nice Mom and share just one with me. But no! She yelled at me for a long time about the rubber band. Then she put some stuff in my cool cat bowl and told me to eat so the rubber band would come out. I do not want rubber bands coming out! I don't know what that means!

I did not want to eat the stuff in my cool cat bowl, so I ran out the back door and through my cat hole to escape. I am not going back in our house. I am going to stay out here on the porch of the little house behind us called the guest house. Mom is being very mean to me so I am going to stay away from her. That's what the people kids Julie and Justin told me to do. I am going to do what they say because they are cool people kids and I am a cool cat.
