I’ve been tagged by Cinnabar Flambeau to participate in a meme.
THE RULES: Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged write in their own diary about their seven random facts. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your diary.
Seven random facts about ME:
1. I have a boyfriend that lives outside. His name is Orange. As you may have guessed, he is a large orange cat with a very gregarious personality. Even though we’ve never met face to face, we’ve had some very deep conversations with our eyes. I watch for him every morning at the windows by the deck. Orange left H. & A. a present in the Oregano patch for me. H. referred to it as “compost.”
2. I love ABBA! Dancing Queen, anyone?
3. I will eat anything green and living, whether poisonous or not. Past victims include oregano, basil, rosemary, jade plants, etc. For some reason, there are no longer green things in the windows for me to munch on.
4. I have a big crush on A.! No matter how nice H. is to me or how much A. ignores me, I always pick A. to snuggle up with.
5. I like to be in bed by 10:30 pm. And by “in bed”, I mean H. & A.’s bed and they have to be in it too or it doesn’t count! If H. & A. aren’t heading towards bed by 10:30 pm, I start reminding them with meows that it’s bed time. If they’re still not in bed by 11 pm, I get very anxious and aggressive (knocking things off of tables and beating up the other cats). If they’re not in bed by 11:30 pm, I pout, continue beating on the other cats, and run around so that they can’t get to sleep when they finally do go to bed.
6. I like to be fed at 5:45 am. A. & H. have the ridiculous idea that I should wait until 6:30 am, so I like to change the clock on H.’s nightstand so that she thinks it’s later than it is. (I do this by pushing on the hour/minutes buttons on top of the little clock.) Most of the time H. catches me; but earlier this week, I was able to advance the clock by 5 minutes without her noticing until later in the morning!
7. Even though I am the alpha cat of the household and resident bully, I occasionally have my soft moments. During these times, I have been known to roll around on my back and make soft mewing noises. Although I’d deny it if any of my siblings ever said so, I like when H. coos “Hetty Miep” to me during these times.
I’m tagging the following seven cats:
1. Shmool
2. Patchez
3. Sushi
4. Mackenzie
5. Dexter Jeebus
6. Deej
7. Misty

I suspected something was amiss last night when A. & H. locked Hilda up in the study (ie, Lockdown). This morning, H. stayed up after feeding us at 6 am. She NEVER does that on Saturdays. She always goes back to bed.
Then they took Hilda away in the maroon box.
A. and H. came home later with the red box but without Hilda. H. told me that Hilda has an abscess on her anal sac that has to be lanced. She won’t be home until Monday.
My first thought was “Ow!”
My second thought was “Too much information, H.!”
It really makes me wonder what she’s telling others about me!

Date: December 13, 2006
Time: 6:26 pm
Infraction: The defendant was caught repeatedly chasing her brother, Elvin, up and down the hallway and launching herself on his back. She was warned several times to cease bullying her brother or she would be “placed in lockdown.” She was also overheard threatening her other siblings, Hilda and Garp, with similar treatment when she was finished with Elvin.
Statement from defendant: “I’ve been framed! Again. Elvin told me he wanted to wear his beautiful Hetty cape. It’s true we had some problems getting it to stay on. That’s why I had to repeatedly launch myself on his back. His loud meows were meows of encouragement not of distress.”
Sentence: The defendant was placed in lockdown (the bathroom) for 15 minutes. While being escorted to lockdown, the defendant expressed her displeasure with language that was deemed “coarse”. Upon release, she immediately chased Elvin down the hallway and launched herself on his back again. The defendant was placed in lockdown for an additional 30 minutes to consider the gravity of her crimes.
