The Tale of Us and Flowers

Categories Behavior, Hemingway and Shakespeare12 Comments on The Tale of Us and Flowers

Mom gets a little upset with us ‘cuz she can’t have fresh-cut flowers in the house.

We like to pull them out of the water.

Well, and sometimes we accidentally knock the vase over and water goes running all over the place!

We try to soak it up with our tails so Mom won’t know, but somehow she always knows!

That’s a Mom for you!

So, she took us around the yard and showed us that we have our very own flowers!

Mom calls this one a HI biscus.  She’s always saying “HI” to it when it blooms.

Well, I like mine ‘cuz there’s lots of them!

Mom was looking at the weather and when she saw this she started laughing.

We had no idea what got into her.  I sat in my chair outside and tried to figure her out.  Did you realize that you can’t ever ever ever figure out humans????

I looked up in the sky to see if there was something dangerous or odd but I didn’t see a thing.  Why on earth was Mom laughing about the weather stuff?

Did she ever tell you, Hemingway?

Yes…………..

Don’t tell me……it was some stupid human trick or something.

She said that when she read about the broken clouds, she wondered if either of us had been responsible for that.

For real????  Doesn’t she know that was Mr. NotMe Kitty’s fault?

Readers, our mom really needs a vacation!!!

Mom’s Lost It Again………..

Categories Behavior, Hemingway and Shakespeare18 Comments on Mom’s Lost It Again………..

Mom says a new kitty has moved in with us.

She said his name is “NotMe Kitty”.

I sure haven’t seen him anywhere.  Have you seen him, Shakespeare?

Nope.  I’ve looked all over and I can’t find him.

Boys, who dragged all the toys and put them on my bed?

“NOTME”

P1040465

Boys, who pulled all the toys out of the basket and put them by the door?

“NOTME”

That Mr. NotMe Kitty sure enough better not eat our food!!!

He also better not sit on Mom’s lap ‘cuz that’s my spot!!

Shakespeare, don’t get too close to that cake it has candles on it.

Who’s going to wrap the present for Mom?  Can I help?

We better wrap it really good so she doesn’t guess what it is.  You don’t think she’ll be upset that we’re giving her our empty treat toy, do you?

Well, I know I’m upset that it’s empty.

Shakespeare, we need to get serious here.  Mom’s having a birthday today.

Yippee!!!  Catnip cake and tuna fish shakes!!!

Remember………Mom said she’s going to visit her human friend so when she leaves for work we won’t see her again until Sunday!

That’s a really long time.  We better give her this empty treat toy soon so she gets the hint.

Mom……..we know you told us that you’re older than all our toes put together, but we don’t think you’re old.  We think you’re really special.

Older than all our toes????  Boy, in cat years, Mom would be a walking miracle!

She is a miracle and she chose us to spend our lives with her.

Thanks Mom!

Thanks Mom!

Happy Birthday from both of us boys!!!!

Class is now starting for my young kitty readers.  I hope this object lesson is very clear and easy to understand.  Please note:  Humans often put these things called “rugs” on the floor.  For some reason they get upset when we hide our toys under them and they accidentally step on them.  Silly humans!  Even worse is when we hide under the rugs!  To avoid getting stepped on by a human….or even another kitty….make sure that you keep part of yourself showing.

Don’t hide your treats under the rug ‘cuz I’ll find them.

Shakespeare….get out of my class.  This is important stuff and nobody was talking about food!

Where Are We?

Mom………..people are going to start thinking that this is all we do!

Copy of P1030651

Actually, we do a lot of this.  We play for a bit and then we get distracted by birds!

Copy of P1020967

Don’t forget that we do a lot of this.

Shakespeare, nobody can forget that you do lots of eating!

P1040470

And we also do lots of waiting for Mom to pick the catnip and bring it in for us!

We just wanted to let you readers know that in spite of Mom not turning on the computer for us, we are doing fine.  Mom says she is too tired when she gets home from that work thing so she doesn’t let us play on the computer.

Maybe we should get Mom away from that work thing!

Then how could she afford treats, food and toys for us?

Never mind.  Keep going to that work thing, Mom!!!
