Confessions of an Escape Artist -- The Lilly Chronicles

Where are my butterflies????

We've been off for three weeks plus & we get back & I sit by Mom at the computer to watch my butterflies fall & they're going in a straight line in one little tiny section of the page! Mom read that Catster & Dogster did some updates & that new codes might be needed, but I really hope that she can re-load my falling butterflies because I was really enjoying sitting on the computer table or in her lap & reaching out & wapping at the screen & trying to catch my butterflies. Well, will have to write about my adventures of the last three plus weeks & there have been more than a few, later.

For now prayers for the victims of the flooding in Georgia & prayers for our furiends. We just read Thomasina's entry & meant to go over to Light a Candle & request prayers but that's a good idea: doing an entry & praying & requesting others to pray so God please watch over those whose homes are underwater & who have unsafe drinking water that must be boiled to be safe to drink & keep them from illness. May the angels watch over them & may any trapped be guided to safety. Yes please dear Lord comfort the poor Crawford family who lost their precious two year old son Preston & keep Cooper safe & the parents safe to bring up their dear remaining son who is even more precious to them now I know. Comfort them in their loss & help them. Watch over all the children who are home in the metro Atlanta area today again due to all of the flooding & unsafe conditions & keep them safe from harm while they are out of school. Watch over their parents who still have to go to work if they're able & keep them safe in their travels. Thank you God that we were spared from this terrible flooding from the overload of rain but for those who can may they help the needy & those without roofs over their heads, without food in their mouths now & those who have lost everything. Amen.

God watch over our furiends meower typists who are ill or who have been in accidents. Especially watch over those who are so ill with the flea & tick diseases as our humans are so very good at protecting us from all the dangerous fleas & ticks with meds & sprays & powders & collars & shots & sometimes they forget about themselves when they walk outside in the woods or the grass. so please watch over the human of Dandelion Wine & Magpie who has the very serious Rocky Mountain Spotted fever & help him heal from it & get back to normal & be healthy & happy again. Watch over the human of Shaun & Shane Ladd & family with the Lyme's Disease & may he heal & return to good health. Help Agnes Dad get well soon too & heal the one who was in the serious car wreck. Thank you God for watching over all our furiends.
Purrs & Mreows, Lilly Cat

Thanks too for contacting Charlie & Lexi & others by paw mail & letting them know our computer was down. We really appreciated it!

Dogster Junction Gangster & 1920's Costume Party & Other- Things

Will meow about the play weekend with the cats another entry & about certain other things. First we got to go to this funtastic furbulous Roaring Twenties costume party @ Dogster Junction this weekend & look at my costume! Isn't it great & don't I just look absolutely beautiful as Bebe Daniels in that great FEATHER hat & fur coat? Oh, all night I kept expecting the birds to rematerialize from that hat as it just smelled so delicious! The birds would have been such fun to chase around even at the party & just know the guests would have loved it but guess the birds were either already deceased or that the feathers were just sacrificed for my catabulous hat! We had such fun at that costume party too! Bear the beautiful black cat gave out party favors and had wonderfur lobster & other food & we had favors of dish detergent to get furs to slide around & motorcycles to break holes in the wall, but most just preferred to throw meatballs & the bacon wrapped was it sausage balls? Especially at Maxi the dog who started it by picking on Georgie & hitting here with meatballs although she did say she just opened her mouth & ate them! The angel dogs seemed to have such fun flying over Maxi's head & pelting his hard hat & umbrella with meat balls. Don't know why he had on a hard hat & not a costume but Maxi is kind of a strange dog. The costumes were great flapper costumes & some furs drove to the party in their only for the rich luxury cars from that time great old 1920's cars! We had raids by undercover Feds called G Men in those days as Prohibition was raging & liquor couldn't be manufactured or sold & no one could drink it, were supposed to dump it if they had it! Caused the rise of gangsters & organized crime said Mom as they were the suppliers & runners of liquor. We were at a speakeasy which was one of those places in the 20's with the door peep holes & the dancing & jazz & the liquor where people drank openly & feared raids by all kinds of law! We got raided more than once & fur flew as all the furs cat & dog hid out or took off! Just the most fun party!

Will save the cruise & other things for another entry when I meow again. Mom needs some good coffee because it has been a very long day. At least the dogs have gone back to sleep. Okay, now I need to get back to my nap on the table -- yes, Morse has one table & I have the other & Mother isn't even fussing & won't let Mom fuss at us either. The tables are covered for now with sheets and full of boxes so part of the time we're actually hiding out in the boxes of papers & old things they're going through & that's why no one is fussing since they only eat at the kitchen table for now. They say they have lots more things from storage to go through & so we're helping -- in a way....

But Mom, you're a Cat Person!!!!

Okay so here's what's happening Mom: you just got so caught up in dog world that you forgot that you started out as a cat person, wolf howls aside or maybe you realized you were both but the dogs or one at least got here first & you got so caught up in dog world & all that Dion the CatDog was doing that you just lost the fact that you're a cat person -- and I reminded you of that first. No one wanted me & I drove you nuts at first but just like Crow (Crow Raven) & actually just like Takoda Crow I chose you as my person. I baffled you & took you about a month to get used to me & love me & hurt me that I was such an annoyance to you & that you just tolerated me & looked to the day that you found me a more permanent home a forever home, but the minute Rob borrowed Leah at first really annoying Mother, I knew that I was home. Eventually in a shorter time than it took you to know, Mother knew that I was your cat. She watched the way I jumped to your shoulder & perched like a bird & said Leah is still my cat, but that's your cat -- and I knew I was & that she had accepted me. She accepts that Leah is safe with Rob for now but has made him understand that Leah is not his cat that he is just guarding Leah for her. Mother made Rob promise that he would give Leah back one day. Rob has another Calico & he will come to love her -- very strange little Rex Calico cat not with the huge Rex ears but the ears are growing & with a strange little head. He took her in, gained permission to keep her & she is driving him just wild & nuts because she is the strangest cat he has ever met even stranger than me he says. Yes, I am a baffling strange cat but I am part Rex & part Oriental along with my domestic cat part and so I'm a bizarre one & I trill & I coo & make the strangest cat noises you've ever heard & if you're in the room with me & I feel that I'm not getting enough attention why I just have to yowl & howl & trill at the top of my little cat lungs which are still growing & I will get louder. Then you come & bend down & let me jump up on your shoulder & perch & ride around until I can find a place close to you where I can lay down & I'm fine.

Yes, I chose you as my person Meli Mom & too bad if you had other cats planned for the future because I was determined that you would love me & now you do. My person. I chose. I'm the cat & we like to choose our people & I chose you. Daddy Rob really wasn't satisfactory just couldn't understand but ha! ha! ha! You have one of those inscrutable Rex cats & soon you & your lady love will have an Oriental & I'll have my cat revenge on you Daddy Rob!

Need to go check on Mom -- like to keep an eye on her. Still very jealous of Morse cause Mom just adores that big guy but I'm getting my long tail wrapped around his paw. He's learning to like me more, a little more each day. Crow Raven already adores me, so no problems there. Takoda Crow likes me & he will get to stay at times. Think it really annoys Mom that Mother is deciding things about the cats. Oh, good sleeping weather -- it's just pouring down rain & thundering & lightning so time for a nice cat nap & yes, I actually do sleep sometimes.
