Humph! Yesterday Was My Birthday...

Why can't I be treated like such royalty everyday? I'll tell ya, I got loads of kitty snacks and catnip toys and even a sprig of real catnip to grow in my garden! Today, NOTHING!!! What's up with that? I tried to tell Mom about my displeasure by clawing her leg this morning, and all I got was a pet and "Good Kitty!" Plus she told me that we're adopting a new Siamese kitten soon! What for, is what I'd like to know!!!! Competition for kitty snax is how I see it! I'll show that kitty who's da boss in a hurry! Well, I'm feeling a bit grumpy so I'm gonna go take out my frustration on the dogs....or maybe I'll go catch me that robin....."Hey Mom! Can I go outside?!"

My Sunday Adventures

Purrrrrrrrr! Sunday! I usually get to go outside and climb trees and chase birds at least once on a Sunday. I get so excited I claw and meow insistantly at the door until my Mom obliges me. But today, I didn't get to go out until late when Mom watered the flowers because our neighbors were visiting and they brought their really big dog, Maddie! Maddie is a nice enough dog, but I don't know her very well, and she really seems to like to chase things, so Mom kept me indoors until Maddie left for the day. So I took a long catnap in the sunshine on my cat tree. Finally, I had some freedom to go outside! There is a certain robin that loves to tease me! I'm going to have me some Robin Stew before the end of summer I hope! That robin is the biggest pest! He just digs up worms right in front of me and acts like I'm not there! That makes me meow in a funny way Mom says. Just as I ready to plot the robin's demise, Mom picked me up and brought me in for the night! What gives?! I almost had me some Robin Stew tonight. Mom's almost as pesty as that robin sometimes!

Where's Da Catnip?

Today my Mom was outside quite a bit playing in the garden. Stormie, my basenji brother was stuck inside with me, after he bugged Mom too many times by messing up all her mulching efforts. I watched in anticipation as my Mom planted all kinds of seedlings and plants, but lo and behold! No catnip!!! I was in serious distress, so I clawed at the door and meowed until Mom got the point and left me come outside for a little while. I meandered through the garden and flower beds, nary a sprig of catnip to be found!!! Can you imagine that? And the silly basenji was pouting, because he thought NutterNipz dog biscuits grew on plants! What silly creatures dogs are!!!Anyway, I am sorely disappointed in the lack of catnip in the gardens. Mom did promise to go buy me a plant of catnip on Monday, after I rolled in the dirt and dust and then threatened to go in and spread the dirt on Mom's freshly vacced floor. Sometimes a cat has to use drastic measures to get his own way!!! But I won! I will have my catnip after all! My day is complete! Purrs, y'all! I'm off to pester my basenji brother, and play with my new feather toy Mom got me.
