I had the most pawsome adventure today! Mom got home from work and fed us dinner and then she decided to take the dogs for a walk before it got dark. My dog brofur Josey was really excited and farted in the house so mom decided to take them out the back door into the yard before their walk so he could take care of his business. Normally mom heads out the front door when she walks the doggies.
Well mom must not have pulled the back door closed right because when she returned from her walk she brought the dogs back into the yard and lo and behold she sees Harry on the deck. The doggies quickly herded him into the garage and mom ran up and closed the door. By the time she did that, Harry was already in the house. She shut the back door tightly and then started calling all the kitties. Coco came right out and then Pixie popped up. But where was I???? Mom knows how fascinated I am with the outdoors so she got all panicked and started running thru the house turning on lights (by this time the sun was already setting) and yelling JULIUS JULIUS JULIUS!!! But I wasn't there! She ran down the basement...nope, still no me. Then she got the bag of treats out and started shaking them while yelling at the top of her lungs JULIUS!!!
But I did not show up. So she went back out into the garage and called me and shook the treats. Still no me. Then she said "Oh God, please not Julius!!" And she opened the back door of the garage and SURPRISE! THERE I WAS! I was waiting at the door for her. So I sauntered on into the garage and mom was all "omg, Julius! Thank God!!" And I meowed at her and she gave me 2 treats. Then she scooped me up in her arms and kissed and kissed and hugged me. I have to say, she sure knows how to welcome me home!
Mom took me in the house and gave me more treats. I know she's wondering what I was up to but I'm not telling!!
Oh and mom found another dead mousie this morning. This time at the bottom of the basement steps. Mom's not happy at all. And now she says she has a splitting tension headache. Sheesh, what a silly mom!! These humans need to learn to enjoy the fun stuff in life!
Oh boy! Big excitement at our house tonight. Mom came home from work to find half of a mouse on the kitchen floor!!! Oh yeah, we had a mouse in the house and one of us caught it!! Mom is mortified that a mouse got in the house. She feels the need to assure everyone that we have NEVER had a mouse in the house before (trust me, I know nothing's ever been THIS exciting around here!!)
Mom is being typical mom about the whole thing. She of course googled "dangers of cats eating mice" and now is worrying like crazy. She's nervous that perhaps that mouse had ingested poison before coming into our house or that it carries tapeworms or other parasites. Mom is watching us all like a hawk cause she has no idea which of us ate half that mousie. It even could have been one of the doggies. Mom's also obsessed with finding out how this mouse got into the house in the first place. Why can't mom's just chill and let us enjoy the FUN things in life? How come she's not as excited about this as we all are? Sheesh! What a spoil-sport.
Well I gotta go cause mom wants to check down in the basement to see if she can figure out where that mousie came from and see if she can find the other half of it. I sure am not telling!!!
My birthday was on the 6th and I had a fabulous day! I got extra kitty milk and mom gave me my favorite food for dinner. YAY! And she spent lots of time with us kitties last week. (well, when she wasn't at stinky work!) We all were demanding lots of attention & play time. The weather has been getting warmer and mom says us kitties have spring fever. Perhaps we do!
A big thank mew and headbonks to all of you who stopped by to make my birthday special!! I truly loved all the birthday wishes and zealies! The best part of my birthday was being able to share it all with you!!
