Announcement

The days are getting longer and a bit warmer. I have been enjoying the sun shiny days and I don't go in as much. Kind of makes my human sad that I don't spend all that much time in with her. The other night I did get on her lap while she was watching a movie. Course I didn't let her know that I did it just because she had a bowl of cereal and I sensed the milk. Of course I had a little treat. I do have a reason for not being in as much. You see, I have been scoping out and preparing a new place for my family. Yes, I am expecting a new litter to arrive soon. I hope I can keep them warm and safe. I prefer having children in the warm months. I know my human would help but she is not able so I'm on my own this time. All will be well. Ok, I'm back to enjoying the sunshine while it lasts!

Living The High Life

Oh I am living the high life today. They say it is still winter, but today is really nice. The sun is shining. The birds ....oh the birds! They are singing and doing all sorts of fluttering around. I keep a close eye on them. Since we all belong to one family, I will just let them have some enjoyment today. I wish you could see me. I need to have a talk with my human to get some pictures on here. Earlier I was lounging on top of the garbage can, getting some sun, and of course taking one or two baths. I'm curled up in this box my human has out here for me. The sun is shining on my face and it feels wonderful. I understand that tomorrow is a different story and I might have to spend some time indoors. I'm sure my human will like that. Everyone should have a human like mine.

I'm Ok...Really

Someone please tell my tender hearted human that it is OK if I am outside in any type of weather. Our good Lord created animals with fur for a reason. For centuries we have been hanging about in all sorts of elements. That saying, "if it's too cold outside for you, it's too cold outside for the animals" is a nice thought, but even cows hang out in the rain. Course we all know cows are not the smartest.

Last night I enjoyed being in the house for quite awhile. Every time that big bad furnace would start it kind of messed with me a bit. But I tolerated its noise and settled down in her arm for a nice winter nap. I could hear her talking to me every so often. She is not used to having an animal in her arms. Her other cat did not show affection the way I do. It's OK though, I understood her other cat. She was after all one of my kind. I like to lay on my back with my legs stretched out.. Every so often I would touch her cheek and she would smile down at me. I had my eyes closed but I knew she was happy. I was thankful for the longest time that she did not move. I knew she was just itching to turn over or get up, but I hung out in her arm as long as I could.

Finally, I got up and wondered around. I was ready to go back out and I knew she didn't want me to, it was so cold. But I can handle it. I waited as long as I could and was getting snoopy. I needed to be out and about with my neighborhood friends. I missed them. So I started to get nosey and got behind the blind when.....CRASH I knocked some stuff over and spilled a glass of water. It was an accident but I knew she would come running. And she did.

We said our goodbyes for the night. She let me out and actually the fresh air felt good. She's a good human. She worries about me too much. She takes care of me. I live the high life.

Laughing At My Human

I have to laugh. Yesterday and today I've been driving my human nuts with my coming and going. I no sooner go in the house and i want right back out. It's funny, I roam around for a minute and then go back to the door and want out. Sometimes she lets me whine for a second or two but usually she jumps right up to open the door. Then of course I just stand there. Sometimes I do go out, but want right back in again. This morning she actually understood my antics. It took her awhile but she caught on. Yes, eating inside is nice. But the outdoors is my home and I love to eat outside. That way I can keep an eye on the neighborhood at the same time. She asked me if I wanted to eat outside and my loud "meow" must have done the trick. She put some food in my dish and I scarfed it up. Sometimes it takes forever to train a human. But it's fun.

It was bound to happen.......

She caved, my human caved as I knew she would. The people with soft hearts are who we like the best. Last night it was raining cats and .....well you know. There were poodles, I mean puddles, everywhere. Including around my food dish. I saw her hesitate putting food in my dish, knowing it would get soggy and I wouldn't eat it. Next thing I knew, there was a bowl of food for me INSIDE the house. Yep, I knew it would happen sooner or later. She's a good human. I spent my usual couple of hours inside. I even laid down with her and we both took a short snooze. But when that big loud furnace started to run again, it sort of freaked me out a bit and I got up and went back outside. By that time the rain had stopped for awhile. I didn't mind. I wish that man would come and put her garbage can back where it belongs. It is part of my shelter. This morning I ate outside. But I knew she would cave. :-)

Raise your paw and make a 'pawment' if you too knew my human would cave.

Crazy Day

This winter weather is crazy. It is warm and balmy out here. My senses have alerted me that it is not going to last for long and I should enjoy it while I can. It has been rainy but I have plenty of shelters my human knows nothing about. She and I had a nice time the other night. I was inside for a couple of hours and I was so quiet she forgot I was there. I joined her as she sat and watched television. I think I scared her a bit when I jumped up on her lap. I took a quick bath and fell asleep. When I woke and turned over to look at her upside down, she looked down and smiled at me. I have her in the palm of my paw. :-) She's been trying to get some new pictures of me, but everytime she tries to take one I move and the moment is gone. I'm going to back to enjoying todays weather. I'm told snow is on the way after today. That's ok, I can handle it. It is after all, winter.

Let Me Introduce Myself

I first showed up at my human's place about three years ago. It was the best thing I ever did. Right away she started to take care of me. She and the neighbor kids quickly took to me and we all became fast friends. My human's neighbors watched out for me too. I have never lacked food or shelter. A few months ago after the passing of my human's house cat, she started to let me into her house. I completely understood her reasoning for not letting me in when her furry friend was alive. I held no grudges. I respect the personalities of my own kind and I knew from just looking at Shmoopie through the window, she was Queen of her domain and I was not going to bother her. And I'm sorry for her passing, I will see her again someday and we will get a long. We will share stories of our human.

I am now going into this humans house. It is wonderful. I jump up on her desk, we talk, she pets me, I head butt her, take a bath or two, roam around the rooms and sometimes I even take a nap. But I love my outdoors. I eat out there, sunbathe, roam around. Sometimes I find the occasional mouse to toss around. I've been known to bring my human other furry offerings which I leave on her front step from time to time.

Well that's my introduction. Next time I'll tell you about my children and how my human and her neighbors took care of me and all the kids.

Until next time......Meow.

P.S. My human is working on getting my pictures posted.
