Hilda at Large

Too Cute Strikes Again!

My siblings and I usually get a couple of salmon treats around the time our female human eats lunch. Today, she left the treats on the kitchen counter and one of my siblings knocked the bag on the floor. Rather than chewing the bag open (like certain other cats [ie, Elvin] would do), I thoughtfully carried the treats to my female human.

At first she thought I had my mousie because I was making the same meow (while carrying the treats) that I make when carrying my mousie. When she saw me carrying the treats, though, she was completely overwhelmed by my cuteness and gave me (and my siblings) extra treats. It pays to be cute!

Little Miss Not So Cute

For awhile now, an unfortunate problem has been brewing in our household. I finally had to t ake matters into my own hands.

Long-Distance Calls

Do you have a secret kitty cell phone? I do. I like to keep mine hidden inside my kitty toys (usually inside of mousie or squeaker bug). I’m a good girl and wait until my humans go to bed to make my calls, though. A usual night goes something like this:

*Lights are turned off*

I begin making my calls.

Female human: Uh-oh. Sounds like Hilda is calling some of her friends.

Male human: Why does she always make them now?

Female human: Time zones. She has to call her friends in other countries now.

Sometimes, I have to change phones or move to different rooms to get better reception.
