OUTSIDE NOW

Grrrr, J&N won't let me out ever again. One night, they didn't latch and lock the back door, so Charlie and I pulled it open and had a fun night out! J saw us the next morning in the backyard near the firewood piles and called to me. I came back so I could get some food, but then she wouldn't let me out again! That is so unfair.

They claim it's dangerous out there, but I don't think that's true. I'm sure those dogs next door are easy to beat. After all, I'm Zeus! I can beat anything and anyone. There's so much to sniff and inspect out there. I yowl and yowl every time either J or N head for the door, but to no avail. They are very good at keeping me inside. Hmmph!

The squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, and birds especially better watch out for me. Who knows when I might escape again?

Spring is sprunging?

Those brr-y weeks of winter we had are gone now. Seeing that white stuff all over the ground was neat, though. Maybe it will be back next year?

Things are starting to not be so cold in the house, either. We can open the windows every so often so Charlie and I can sit in them and look out through the screens. I love it when they open windows- Charlie and like to race around to each window as it's opened and see what view is best that day. You've got to maximize your bird-watching time by choosing the best window with the most interesting birds in it. Otherwise, what's the point?

new toys

I got some cool new toys for christmas. One was a stuffed sushi and the other was a GREEN RATTLY MOUSE with feather tail, my favorite! Charlie got some toys too and we have been batting them in and out of our giant paper-filled box in the living room.

I found out I don't like turkey. Euuuch.

Looking outside the window lately has been incredible. You wouldn't believe the amount of birds here. Plus, we have squirrels and chipmunks but I don't think J&N like them so much. I think they're pretty cool because they're fun to watch.

NEW HOME

OMG we have a new house to run around. It has awesome slick floors made of wood that are so much fun to slide on. It's so much bigger than the old place and has this awesome room in the back with lots of shelves to jump on.

This is the best place ever!!

Sun Fun

I love basking in the sun in the morning. Today was an especially nice day to do so, as the sun was out with hardly any clouds as J left for work. I said bye to her in my usual way by staring at her and blinking. Togetherness is nice and all, but sometimes I just need my space.

I've found a secret hiding place for all the new mice they've gotten me recently, along with the sushi toy. I bet they'll never guess where the toys are! heh heh

Wednesday, Wednesday...

The last couple days have been a little different around the house for us cats. J (our female human) was sick the past two days, so we got to have extra fun with her and N (male human) around. That means Charlie gots loads of extra petting and I got a lot more playing done. It makes me feel good to be productive, you know? As the Alpha Cat in this house, I've got to set an example for the less productive of us (coughcoughCharliecough.)

But today, J is back at work and there's not much to do but sleep, wrestle with Charlie, and look out the window at the birds. We've got several great windows to look out from and the birds are crazy this time of year! There's even a few squirrels and a rabbit out there sometimes. There's nothing I like better than to look out the window.
