Kept Kitty

Yes, this is me, a gray kitty, sleeping in a gray kitty bed. I find it quite comfortable, and soothing. Hummmmmm....but, I guess if a human found themselves sleeping in a human bed...well, that would just be a little scary. Nonetheless, it is just one of the many luxuries lavished upon me. I am quite a kept kitty, with multiple beds, toys, laps, blankets, and more hugs, and pets, and coos than you can imagine. My days are filled with loving attention, napping, playing with my mouse "Bitty", tossing a milk ring and tormenting Rebound and Volley - they are a story for another day. Mama doesn't ask or expect anything from me, but I always find myself purring and directing slow, loving, half-closed blinks her way. You know that's kitty for "I Love You".

Invasion of Neighbor Kitty!

It’s been awhile since our last visit, but I am a busy kitty. Recently, mama’s “save the kitties, save the world” mentality as thrust me into a position of asserting my dominance, since she has now brought my nemesis…Neighbor Kitty, into our home to co-mingle! From what my kitty mind understands, is that Neighbor Kitty is not allowed in his home, however, his mama and papa have constructed quite the kitty set-up in their garage, complete with kitty condo, kitty bed and kitty door, so Neighbor can come and go as he pleases. However, Neighbor was pleased to be in our garage! Thanks to mama leaving the garage door slightly open to accommodate him. He was sleeping in a cardboard box, full of scrap wood, on the top of a shelf instead of sleeping at his house. Mama, worried that Neighbor was getting too cold during the evenings, so she made him a bed, and let him hang out with my family. Now he sleeps here every single night! There’s no love,...

but he’s not so bad…as long as I remind him who’s boss!

Daddy Time

My day is not complete without spending my morning with Daddy.  When I hear the shower turn off, I race to the bathroom where I start off our morning ritual by meowing at the shower door.  Just want to make sure he is toweling off in a hurry, cause I know I’ll get my dose of morning cuddles when he comes out.  Then we proceed to the sink, where I balance along the edge and watch him brush is hair, then hold the brush out for me to do the same….. hey, I girls’ gotta look her best!  I can’t contain my purrs and rubs!  When daddy takes something called vitamins, (I love the rattlely sound in the bottle), he holds the bottle out for me to rub against, though he never shares; must not taste like chicken.  We complete our time together as I follow behind, while he gathers his clothes, and guard the door as he gets ready for work.  One last cuddle before he leaves, then I’m off for breakfast, a bath, and a much deserved nap.

Shoo, Neighbor Kitty, Shoo!

Neighbor Kitty was peeking inside one of my prized “windows to the world”, this morning.  From my windows, I like to watch the birds and the squirrels, and the lizards…OH MY…!  I not want to see Neighbor Kitty face!  That glassy stuff, that was tween us, was as tough as my scratchy post, cause I scratched and scratched for what seems like an eternity, but never got my little paw on her.  “Neighbor Kitty, I like you ‘n’all, but you must remove yourself from my morning view!”

Kittie Cuddlies

Mama chased me around the house today!  She had been busy writing an article about how hoomans can be healthier and happier if they own a pet, and I guess she got the “kittie cuddlies”, cause she couldn't keep her furless hands off of me!  The last thing I want to do is upset my mama, but I found myself swiftly moving the opposite direction whenever I saw her approach.  I didn’t run…cause that might give the wrong impression, I mean.. she feeds me, hugs me, and makes sure I am happy, but…..COME ON MAMA….lighten up with the lovin! Sometimes a kitty just wants to bat at her milk-ring in peace.
