I have been very mad at Mom about the computer. My internet cat friends have been very worried about me and one of my internet cat girlfriends, Sammie, is looking for another internet cat boyfriend because she said I am ignoring her. My internet cat friend Ink is very bored because I have not told her stuff on the computer. It is not my fault, I have been trying to use the computer for a month but Mom is always on it and will not let me have it. Well, and I've been busy too.

Last month I knew something big was going to happen at our house because Mom and the big man got all the big suitcases out of the place where we hide things called the attic. They went to place where people buy stuff called Memphis and came back with lots of stuff we don't need like shoes and garbage bags people wear when it rains called panchos. I knew Mom and the big man were going somewhere and with all the stuff they put in the big suitcases, I knew they would be gone a long time. Whenever Mom and the big man are gone for a long time, they take a vacation. I would like to take a vacation too, but I don't know where they hide the vacations so that I can get one. I've looked everywhere but I still can't find a vacation. Mom and the big man must not have many because they only take 1 or 2 a year so whatever vacations are, they don't have a lot of them.

Since I knew that when Mom and the big take a vacation, they are gone for a lot of days and nights, I just talked to Mom about it. I do not like it when they leave me at home by myself. Mom talks to Mrs. Baptist down the street about it and Mrs. Baptist and her two people kids come to our house and give me food and water and sometimes they stay for a minute and pet me. But a cat needs more than that. I told Mom she should let me go live somewhere else where I can get some attention while they are gone for a long time. I know Mom likes me a lot, because she made things better this time. The nice lady that lives in one of our little buildings out back called the guest house came to our garage every day and gave me food and water. Then she let me in the house and gave me cat treats! I napped in favorite spots in the house all day, just like when Mom is home. Then the lady would come over at night and let me out and she would play with me for a long time. That was much better than being locked out of our house!

Anyway, Mom and the big man were gone for a long time. They went on airplanes far away where it is day time at night. They went to a place where it rains a lot and people talk funny called England. They stayed there for a long time and saw a lot of very old things. I thought that was nice of Mom to take the big man to a place where things are older than he is.

The big man says Mom has something called an obsession. I don't know what that is, but he says Mom has it about clocks. I know what a clock is because Mom really likes clocks and we have a bunch of them in our house. We even have one that a bird lives in that I cannot catch called a Cu-coo clock. The big man said that there were too many old things tosee in the place where it rains a lot and people talk funny called England and all mom wanted to do was sit and look at some big clock.

After they stayed in the place were it rains a lot and people talk funny called England, Mom and the big man got on a very fast train that has food called the EuroStar and went the place where people kiss all the time and no one knows what they are saying called Paris. The big man said there were lots of things older than him to see in Paris and he was very glad there were no big clocks there for Mom to sit and stare at for a long time.

Mom and the big man saw lots of very old stuff when they were gone for a long time. Mom will not stop talking about it and I am tired of hearing about it. I have stuff I want to talk about to, but Mom is too busy talking about her stuff to listen to me.

On the night Mom and the big man got back, I was very glad to see them. I came in the house to sleep with them because I knew they missed me very much and wanted me to sleep with them. After they went to sleep, I thought I'd get closer so they would know I was there so I slept on the big man's hiney. It was very warm and comfortable on his hiney and I started purring. Then I made biscuits like cats do so he would know how happy I was. Well. The big man did not like it that I made biscuits on his hiney while he was sleeping! He got mad at me! He got out of the bed, picked me up and threw me out in the garage!

Mom said we are getting back to normal at our house and I am very glad about that. She finally let me use the computer today.

When Mom and the big man got back, Mom was very far behind at her work and had to work a lot. I know that when Mom works she gets money to buy cat treats, so I left her alone because I do not want to run out of cat treats. The big man had to go back to his work too. He does not buy me cat treats so I don't care about his work.

Me and Mom have started talking about all the stuff we are going to do at house. We are going plant nice flowers in my flower beds where I poo and we are going to cook good things to eat outside. It is springtime at our house and Mom is home! That is cool, I like that because I am a cool cat.
