Enough is Enough

Categories Ideas18 Comments on Enough is Enough

Mom says we can’t ignore our friends and fans any longer.  We have to sit down and write to everyone.

If we do that, will Mom give us treats?

Shakespeare, you know that you get treats all the time!

So what should we talk about?  WAIT………….I know!!!  Mom’s no longer a tent!!!

Hemingway Praying

People…..do you see what I have to put up with???  Mom is no longer a temp!  She was never a tent!

Fine!  So what’s a temp?

It means that Mom is now working for the company and no longer working for the agency

So?  She still leaves the house every day and leaves us alone.

But now she has benefits from the company.

She gets treats?

Well, she did tell me that there are lots of food parties there.  However, the benefits she’s talking about include vacation time so she can play with us and medical and dental insurance and stuff like that.

I don’t like going tot he doctor’s house.  I would need lots and lots and lots of assurance.

No.  Insurance.  It helps pay the bills.

Does she have insurance on us?

No.  She said she’s counting on us being healthy.

Well, I can’t be healthy without treats!

Readers…………do I really have to put up with this????

We finished with the puter.  Now where are our treats?

Mom goes to work almost every day and she says she works with a computer and  phones.

We stay home and wait for her to get back from work.

Then it’s time to eat.  I just can’t wait for Mom to put her things down so she can put food in our dishes.

After eating, we’re ready to play but Mom says she has to get busy and fix supper for her brother and herself.

If she would just put some cat food in dishes for the two of them, then she wouldn’t have to do any cooking.  Wait……I just thought about that.  If they start eating our cat food then it will disappear faster.  This is declared a BAD IDEA.

Shakespeare, you’re hung up on food again.  We’re supposed to be thinking about work.

How can we do that when we don’t go to work?

Well, if we did, I wonder if we would have to dress up.

Would there be other fur people working?

Can we apply for jobs ourselves or do we have to have Mom do it?

What do humans do at work?  Would fur people do the same thing?

You know…………Mom said we can’t go out of our yard so how could we go to work?

Well, I’ve heard about working from home….

That sounds ridiculous.  Home is for napping, playing and eating.  No working at home!!!  EVER!!!

All About Toys

Mom says we have too many toys!

No, Mom says you have too many toys scatter around the house!

P1040824

Just look at the mess you made!

Don't Tell Mom!!!
Don’t Tell Mom!!!  Besides, “Not Me” Kitty did it.

Mom already know who did it.  Why did you dump the toys out?

I was searching for a special one but then I forgot which one it was.

So you left the mess.

Not really.  I was going to put them back in the basket in alfatypical by numbers order….or something like that.

Well, that’s why Mom says we have too many toys.  Did you learn anything in our school today?

Nope.  How about you?

Nope.  Mom forgot to leave treats for recess.

 

All About Hugs

Sleepy Boys

Mom said the humans have gone back to school now.

Sometimes when we’re looking out the windows, we see these big orange things go by.

Mom told us those are school buses taking the humans to school.  We told her we wanted to go to school……..

……….but she told us we couldn’t go out of our yard.

So, we came up with a new idea and you’re going to love it!  We’re going to sit at home and think of things during the day.

I’m going to think about treats and food!

Shakespeare, the topic for today is hugs.  Almost everyone loves to get hugs.  We give Mom hugs in all sorts of ways.

When I eat, I purr.  That’s my way of giving Mom a hug ‘cuz she bought me food and treats.

Mom taught me to sit up for my treats.  I kiss her on the hand and that’s my way of giving her a hug for the treats.

We watch out the window for her to return from work.

Then we greet her at the door.

Of course we run to the door to let her know it’s supper time.  However, we’re also giving her a special hug for coming home.

Thank you for being honest, Shakespeare!

I come (sometimes) when she calls me and she says that’s a special hug ‘cuz I don’t like to be picked up.

I sleep on Mom’s head at night and cuddle up as close as I can get.

I let Mom brush me…….at least part of me!

So, while we’ve been thinking about hugs, we’ve decided they are a good thing!  What about you?

We’re Back……….

Categories Ideas12 Comments on We’re Back……….

Mom told us she was taking a break from the computer at home.   We’ve been real quiet lately ‘cuz we were trying to do what she said.  She didn’t want to turn on the computer and she didn’t want us working on our blog while she was home.  Of course we could have maybe worked on our blog while she was at that work place.

Remember how much fun it was to take those extra sun puddle naps?   The computer isn’t by the window so if we had been working, we would have missed out.

Well, we’re getting kind of anxious to do some meowing.  We need to get in touch with our fur people friends.  My birthday is coming and I need to spread the news.

Hemingway………move over!  Let me type.  Christmas is coming and we need to remind Santa Paws that we’ve been good boys and we want lots of treats and new toys. 

That sounds kind of selfish, Shakespeare.

Now that you mention it, I guess it does.  Well, is it okay if we tell Santa Paws that we would like a few things but we also want to make sure all the other fur people get special gifts, too?

Now that sounds better.  We have to remember those poor fur people who don’t have homes.  They must be really sad now.

I’m very lucky ‘cuz my first Christmas was spent at my home with Mom.  You were born on Christmas Eve so you were too young to know that you didn’t have a forever home yet for your first Christmas.

Oh, but I celebrated with you big time the next year.  We had so much fun!  That’s what we want for all the fur people and the humans.

Yes, we want them to have lots of special blessings and lots of happiness to make their hearts explode with love.

Oh, and we also want some catnip………

LOTS of catnip!

Prima Donna

Copy of P1020909I’ve decided that my nose is really cute so I’m going to be a model.  Then I’ll earn lots of money for new toys and catnip.  This is my pose to show off my cute nose.

You’re too chunky to be a model.  If anyone in this family is going to be a model it’s me.  My tail is beyond beautiful.

The tailHere I am posing so everyone can see my beautiful tail.

And here you are posing so everyone can see your big belly.

ZZZZZZZOh hush.  Mom says I’m handsome.  Besides, I just happen to have a big jungle pouch.

That’s not what Mom’s brother says.

Well, I’m going to work on my resume so I can start modeling.  I just have one question.  Mom says I’m a prima donna.  I don’t know what that means but I told her very quickly that I’m  a boy cat so that means I’m a prima donald.  She just laughed at me.  Should I put that on my resume?

Are They Related?

JackHemingway…………I found this picture on Mom’s camera.  Do you have a brother I don’t know about?  Is that where Mom went over the weekend?

Oh Shakespeare, you have such an imagination!  That’s Jack the border collie.  He is a rescue dog who belongs to Mom’s good friend and that’s where she went over the weekend.  Jack is a dog and I’m not…..even though Mom says I act like one.  So, we can’t be related.

Well, I think he looks lots like you…..except he has more white on his face.  If you would drink milk and get it all over your face, you would look just like him.

Goofball!  Did you see the other neat picture Mom had in her camera?

No. What is it?

Hummingbird MothMom told me that’s a hummingbird moth and she saw it on her friend’s flowers.  Wouldn’t it be fun to have one of those flying around here?

Does he bother the catnip plants?

I don’t know, but I don’t think you have to worry.

Is it time for treats yet?  I’m tired of looking at Mom’s camera.

Shakespeare's GraduationI’ve been thinking…..

Dear Readers, this is always a very scary thing when he says something like that.

Stop it.  This makes perfect sense and you are going to be amazed.

So what is it?

Well, I’ve decided to go to school.

You can’t leave the back yard.

I can take classes on this computer.   They talk about it on that TV thing all the time.

What are you going to study?  Mice? Birds? Catnip?

I’m going to be a teacher.

Oh no…………..  Why????

Well, I’ve been watching how the little and not so little humans have been heading back to school this fall.  They’re all excited to meet their new teachers and some of them even bring their teachers apples.

Where did you hear that?

I saw it on that TV thing.  Anyway, I figured if they are smart enough to bring apples, then maybe I can teach them to bring catnip!  Now, isn’t that the perfect idea???

You have been into the catnip way too much lately……

Hemingway...what can I sayI’m going to sleep and forget we ever had this conversation.
