Confessions of a Catnip Junkie

Escape!

Last Saturday it was raining all day so I just laid on my table by the window and looked out. Mom was lookng out too saw a little humming bird sitting on the porch railing. It just sat there. For a long time. Well, mom got the idea that she would take a picture of it but every time she tried to take the picture out the window, the flash would go off and spoil the picture. Finally she opened the door just a crack and tried again but the bird flew off. It was back a minute later and she tried the door again. What she didn't know was that I had gotten down and tiptoed out the door while she was concentrating on the bird picture! She shut the door and thought she saw something moving on the porch so she looked out the window and saw me checking out the cactus! I almost got away with it but stopping to investigate the cactus was my downfall. She tiptoed up behind me and scooped me up and took me back inside. She said I was grounded! Whatever that means. That was sort of fun so maybe I'll try it again later. (Don't tell mom)
PS: You can see the little hummer picture above.

The Intruder

Mom feeds those outside cats every morning and they always try to look in at us. Well this morning, the big black one actually came in the house! Mom started yelling then she grabbed me and shut me in the bathroom! I heard her yelling at the black cat and then yelling for Annie. I guess Annie had gone into hiding like she always does and mom couldn't find her. The yelling got louder and louder when mom couldn't find the black cat either. I guess she finally found him, though. She took the screen off the window and shooed him out with the broom. After about ten minutes (it seemed like forever, though) she let me out of the bathroom. She went around the house spraying Feliway all over where the cat had been while I made the rounds of the house, fur standing on end, until I was sure the black cat was gone. Then I hopped up on my place by the window and went to sleep. (could it have been the Feliway making me sleepy?) Everything is OK for now but mom needs to find another way to feed those cats!

Who's the New Cat?

Humph! The groomer lady came today and I was shoved into the carrier and taken out to get groomed. It was bad enough that they blindfolded me (and it was Mom's idea! - BAD MOM!), but to my indignation, I got my rear shaved! Fortunately, it didn't take long until I was released into my house again. Well, after awhile, mom brings in the carrier again and lets this funny smelling little cat into MY house! It kind of looked like my evil step-sister but it didn't smell like her so I started stalking it. I caught it under the bed and fought it until it ran away. Then I started stalking it all over again. The nerve of it trying to get into MY house! Mom was acting kind of strange about the fighting and it seemed like she was taking the new cat's side. She kept telling me it was Annie but I wasn't convinced. I can't seem to find it right now so maybe it left. Hummm, I haven't seen Annie lately, either. I guess she'll show up sooner or later. I wonder it she's making friends with that new cat. She'll be sorry if she is.
