Cats of Destiny

Gone

Getting used to life in my--sorry, Pan's new house was difficult. The fireplace didn't have anything in it, there were no squirrels in the attic, and, worst of all, there were no mice!! Pan's new house was bigger than the old one, so I had to work harder than ever to familiarize myself with all the hiding places.
"I can help you," Miko said. I glared at him.
"I refuse to associate with the likes of you!" I responded, copying one of Pan's catch phrases word for word. Miko left. There was just something about him that I didn't like...
I was no longer worried about Pan's dominance; we had established that she was the one and only queen of the world, and Miko accepted it. We hadn't, however, sorted out who would be second in command. I had always been second best, and I wasn't about to give that up. I was prepared to fight until I got really, really tired to keep my status.
"Why are you so nice to him?" I asked Pan.
"Oh...I don't know...I'm just tired," was Pan's reply. She sighed.
"You're still not feeling so good?" I asked. Pan shook her head majestically. She did everything majestically.
"They'll probably take me to the vet," she said, pulling her tail in closer.
"No. We moved! How can they take you to the vet?" I responded.
"I heard the humans talking about it. One of them must have seen me eating the cat litter," Pan said.
"You mean we moved all this way for nothing? That's impossible!"
"I asked Miko. It's true."
"Oh, what does Miko know anyway? I was the one who helped you! I was the one who stared at Samsie with you, who caught mice with you, who hid with you! You've been favoring him--I know it! You can't trust him. He's definitely up to something! He's bad! Bad! Baaaaaaad!!" I replied, saying the last "baaaaaaad" dramatically. I stalked off indignantly, rubbing the furniture as I went.
Later, I felt sorry about my outburst. I set of in search of Pan to apologize. I looked everywhere for her, but she was nowhere to be seen. My heart sank. Had she been taken to the vet without me even saying goodbye?

WUMP!!

Wump!! Hiss!! Boomf!! Swat!!
"Hey!" Miko shouted. "That wasn't nice! I was just trying to be friends!"
"But you're not supposed to," I responded. "We're at war."
"But I don't wanna be at war!" was Miko's reply. "I wanna be friends!"
"Listen," I said, sitting down next to Miko. "Pan and I are invading your territory and taking over. You're supposed to try and fight for dominance but eventually lose because Pan and I are the best."
"That's not fair," was Miko's response. "I was here first!"
"Now you're getting it!" I said.
"So...now we fight?" Miko asked.
"Yep," I replied.
We jumped on each other and started swatting and hissing. Eventually, the humans came in. They didn't like it and made me go back to the room.
"How did it go?" Pan asked.
"Bad," I said. "I didn't get a chance to win."
"Did you lose?" Pan demanded.
"No, no, no, the humans pulled us apart before Miko could surrender," I responded. Pan nodded.
"How long do you think it'll be until I can go meet him," Pan asked.
"Probably a while," I said. Suddenly, the door opened. Saw and Byrd stood there.
"You wanna come out, PanPan?" Saw asked. Daintily, Pan stepped out. I followed her.
"Show me where he is," Pan ordered. I started to lead her down the stairs, but Pan swatted me on the butt.
"NO ONE MOVES IN FRONT OF ME!" she shouted.
"But I--"
"Just show me," Pan said. I walked next to her. We entered the living room. We looked everywhere for Miko, but we couldn't find him.
"I thought you said he would be here!" Pan shouted, frusturated.
"Maybe he's in a different room," I said.
We searched the dining room. No luck. We looked in the kitchen. We discovered a dripping faucet, out of which Pan drank for five minutes while I checked the other bedroom. Eventually, we decided to give up.
"He probably got scared and ran away," I suggested.
"That's true," Pan responded. "I'm frighteningly tough."
She swished her tail and jumped up onto a couch. I followed her. We started to settle down, but I noticed something. A ledge! With curtains and sun! I began to jump in, but Pan pushed me out of the way and went in herself. I followed her cautiously.
Pan stood completely still, her fur glistening in the sunlight. Miko looked up from licking his butt and stared at her, silent. Pan glanced back at me and then sat down--right next to Miko! I couldn't believe it! She must have decided that he wasn't much of a threat! I sat down on the other end of the ledge but kept an eye on Miko. I couldn't trust that cat...

Tag!!!!

Tag, You’re IT! There’s a game going on around Catster and it’s your turn
to play.

The Rules
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write in their own diary about seven things and the rules. 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.

My random fact thingies:

1) I trained a puppy by watching The Dog Whisperer with my pet humans. I poked him and hissed whenever he did something wrong!!
2) The very same puppy I trained stole my favorite toy, a little mouse, even after he was told not to! When he got back home, he gave it to his kitties. I had to get my humans to steal it back.
3) The other day, my humans left and they came back with a baby just for me!! I like to stare at him lovingly while he sleeps.
4) I can talk in human!!! When I'm running around and having a lot of fun I yell, "WHOA!" and sometimes when there's something interesting out the window I jump at it and go, "LOOK!"
5) When I'm suprised, my tail gets all puffy and I look really silly.
6) The railing on my stairs is evil. I have to fight it by jumping on it and grabbing it and making silly noises. It will never do whatever evil railings like to do again!!!
7) I like to sing and squirm around at people. I murr and purr and grab people's hands with my opposeable thumbs and rub them on my head.

I'm going to tag: Suka, ♥ Mugsy ♥, Lucy, Skeezix the Cat, Wallingford (Wally), Skylar, and SMUDGE. Woohoo!!
