Maggie's Cat Tale

Man, what was that dog eating?!?

Mommy and daddy came home the other day with some new food for Haley and Tess and I. It was soft food, a little variety from that hard food we always eat. Well, Mommy fed Haley first and BOY that smelled SOOOOOO good! I just couldn't resist. I think for the first time ever Haley and I shared some space. I nibbled some on that dog food while mommy and daddy tried to pull me away. Tess liked it too, but she only wanted a taste. I wanted it ALL!!! Mommy had to hurry and fix me a bowl of my own food so that I would stop eating Haley's food. Now that's funny.

Daddy's spot is sooo comfy in the mornings....

I have decided that from now on I will sleep in my own bed only as long as Daddy is here. But when he leaves for work, I'm going to sleep in his spot. He makes it nice and warm for me, his pillow is great for cuddling, and I can be close to Mommy. That is the most important thing. I've heard Daddy tell Mom that Tess and I like Mom better than him, but Mommy won't believe it. It really is true. Who do we cuddle with? Who do we love on? Who do I give massages to? Hello, Dad...Who feeds us? That really is the key. I know better than to ask you. You don't get it. Mommy understands that we are kitties that need our energy, so she makes sure we have food. So there! I will continue to cuddle with my mommy and you can't stop me!!!

Today may be THE DAY!!!

Lately I've been studying the dog's bathroom habits so I can better understand her schedule. I've scoped out the back patio and the surrounding grass. I think I can make a break for it today!

I tried a few weeks ago when Mommy left the door cracked open. She caught me though, just past the grill. DARN! Tess has been helping me out though, so mommy doesn't think that it's just me. Now she thinks its normal for us to look out the back door, investigate the threshold, and sniff the door crack to outside air. What she doesn't realize is that I've been planning this break out for weeks.

Ok, so Tess is my lookout this afternoon to let me know when the dog needs to go out. It helps that Haley always makes that noise when she needs to go out, too. The plan is that when Haley gets taken out, I'm going to catch the door open with one of her bones. That way Mommy will think she closed it, but I will be able to sneak out. Then, while Mommy isn't looking, I'll dart underneath the grill (my mistake the first time was staying within plain sight) and wait for her to go back in. I'll be long gone by the time she even notices I'm missing. HEH!

That'll show her! I'll be out there on my own. No food, no water, no sister, no heat! Oh, wait a minute....maybe I should pack a bag...
