Treat Begging

To the tune of freecreditreport.com (the car ad)

Well I was hungry for some food
What will it be?
Some natural balance or some yummy greenies
Too bad the treats are way up high
And I've got to beg my mom, and I will try

Tre-ats, that spells treats
In my mom's kitchen that's what I need
Thought about eatin my crunchies
But those treats are just so tasty

Now instead of treats im eating NB!
Cause mom said you've had too many and you are starting to look fat!

Tre-ats that spells treats
In my mom's kitchen that's what I need!

Packages of raisins, craisins and other dried fruits should- be banned...

As well as trail mixes and other things that come in plastic zippable bags! Why? Because those human treats sound like our kitty treats! It fools me every time.... I end up begging for cranberries not greenies! Any other cat with me?

My 2nd Catmas!

I was so excited this morning! I even woke Mom up nicely instead of scratching her bed or the walls like I usually do! I was a Good Kitty and so Santa Paws came! He brought Stony and I each a wand toy! Really it's a tail that moves like a snake or a ferret. It's ok. Stony likes it more than me, but if she plays, then I want to play too. Before the toys came out, Mommy gave us some Catmas breakfast, a Salmon Feast! Man was that good! Stony ate too slow, so I helped make it disappear as fast as I could. I asked for a fire in the fireplace, and slept in front of it for a while. It's so nice having Mommy and Daddy home! I really have missed them the past few weeks! This afternoon I have been sleeping under Mom's bed, and I should appear soon. Hope every cat had a great holiday! Merry Catmas to one and all.

Purrs and tailhugs,

Bastess

As if yesterday weren't enough....

Mommy came home from work today, and even though Stony and I resolved our differences after I gave myself a few baths, she and Daddy captured us and brought us into the bathroom. Stony knew right away and told me BATH BATH BATH!!!!!!! I said, haha, maybe for you! They put her in the tub first, and I showed mommy and daddy how good of a bather I am. Stony put up a good fight and hissed her tail off, but somehow she still came out all wet. Then......Daddy grabbed me and put me in ..... WATER!! Mommy squirted this horrible smelling stuff on me and then rubbed my back and tummy. I told them off the whole time, as loud as I could possibly be! I almost got out, but daddy grabbed me and put me back in! Finally, they put me in a towel and rubbed me for a long time. Ugh! I'm still trying to lick myself dry.

I have HORRIBLE parents, anyone want a BEAUTIFUL orange tabby? I am for sale.

Emails I got at School

My Grandma wrote me a couple emails while I was in the terrible place called School.



Dear Bastess,

Well, Bastess, this is your first day at School. Don't be scared and don't venture too far from your mommy. Unlike some mommies, you get to have yours with you all day. Lucky kitty! Don't meow too loud, you don't want to distract the class! Don't worry if mommy has to leave for a little while. You are a big girl. She'll be back. Work hard and study good. Now that you have gone to School, you can have summer vacation!

Love, Grandma



And I replied back......



Hi Grandma,

I don't like School. It is a big place. I like the kids petting me, but I'm pretty sure there is some other animal here, it was crying "I'm hungry, I'm hungry!" Right now I am in my carrier and everytime mom comes to check on me I hide my face and turn my back to her. Mommy is evil.

Save me from this horrible place, Bastess



And she sent me back......


Dear Bastess,

I'm sorry, Little B. Mommy thought you might like it. Just tell her not to take you there anymore. You just have a short time left and you can go home. You're a good kitty, you can do it, then you'll be safe at home again! Magic tried to tell Mommy that kitties don't go to School. Maybe you can come to visit him again some time. It's not as far a trip. But not until you get over this long day!

Love, Grandma

Going to School......

Mommy took me to school this morning. I noticed she was collecting toys and food, and I wondered why she put my jingle-ball in her purse (I tried to get it out too). Then she scooped me up and put me in the carrier. It was cold outside compared to my apartment. Soon the car got warm. It took a long time to get to School. About half way there, I started meowing and talking to Mom. I was saying "this car ride is taking forever! When will we be there?" Mommy is smart and explained it takes a long time to get to School. A little while later I meowed again..... "Are we there yet?" "Soon," Mommy said. Finally we were there! I waited in the car while she took my cardboard "privacy screen" in and my litterbox. The Teacher she works with came out and talked to me. Then she came and got me out of the car and put me in a strange place. After that, she LEFT! I was so SCARED! A few minutes went by and she appeared again! She put my leash on and encouraged me out of the carrier. I wasn't sure about this at all. Then I heard a "rug-sucking-machine" behind THAT door! I did not want to encounter that rug-sucker. Then after a few minutes it became more quiet behind THAT door but loud behind the OTHER door! There were so many things to listen to I was so overwhelmed! I kept hearing strange voices, and then more and more. Mommy coaxed me out of the carrier and had me sniff my food, water, and litter box. I dug a bit in the box, but was not relaxed enough to go.

Mommy let me explore, but with all the noises, I didn't really want to. It was scary! She put me in another room and I wanted to go back in the first one. Eventually she picked me up and went in ANOTHER room and lots of small children petted me. That felt really good! But I couldn't even purr my thanks. I heard another strange animal I have never seen before say "I'm hungry! I'm hungry!", and I smelled other animals. It was so confusing with all the new smells and sounds I just wanted back in my carrier. So mommy put me back in and I stayed there for a while.

Not too long later, Mommy came in a picked up my carrier and we went to another place. She took me out of my carrier and picked me up and MORE kids were petting me and calling me pretty kitty. That room smelled even different than all the other ones! Then mommy knew I had enough and left me in the carrier in the First room for a long time. To show my displeasure, every time Mommy checked on me, I turned around and faced the other way in the carrier. Small children were always lying down on the floor and making strange noises at me. They were smiling so I guess they don't want to hurt me.

Mommy was gone for a long time, then a long time more, and then she picked up my carrier again! I thought, yay! We are going home! But I was wrong! She carried me into another strange place where a lady looked in my carrier, saying how pretty I am! (Well who is denying that?) There were so many strange smells in this place I started shaking. Then we went in another strange room. Mommy put me on the floor and I felt weird, like I was jumping but I didn't jump. Then more kids petting me. One kid rubbed my ears so good I almost fell asleep. I like that human kitten. After the last petting we went to the "jumping feeling room" again, and I was returned to the First room. Then mommy left. I couldn't hear her. Finally I saw her come in the First room and she picked up the "privacy screen", litter box, and her white bag I love so much and took them outside. Then a strange lady who didn't like me (not this Teacher woman) picked me up and put me down. Then Mommy was back. She picked me up and set the whole carrier on her lap and all the small children said goodbye to me! They followed Mommy outside as she carried me to her car, and waved when I was in my seat. I looked at mommy and she said, "ok lil b! we are going home!"

Then the car started it's Moving. The loud air noise started again, and I remembered I had not used the litter box since very early this morning. I stood up in my carrier and meowed very high pitched and urgent. Mommy listened to my meows and figured it out! She is a smart mommy! She said she had to stop the Moving first though. The loud air noise stopped and she let me out of my carrier, uncovered the litterbox behind her seat, and put me in it. *WHEW!!* I am so grateful my mommy understands my language! When she put me back in the carrier, I blinked my thanks to her.

When we got back into Town, I sensed we were almost home and stood up and tried to dig my way out of the carrier. Mommy told me to stop we would be home in 5 minutes. And then "stop we will be home in 2 minutes!!" But mommy! I've been trapped in this thing all DAY!! When she finally set me down inside my own, beautiful, wonderful-smelling apartment, I walked out quickly, and Stony-the-Rude sniffed my butt. Hey! Not like it's easy to take a bath in a Moving Car!

I have decided I do not like School, and have told Mommy I don't want to go back. She said that's ok.

*puuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

Yay! I love my home!

I have been home for almost 1 day now and I LOVE IT!!! Mommy looked at my new spay mark and it's twice as long as before!! Wow! I have little bows on my belly, and mommy was playing with them, and I chirped at her. I still have to take my YUCKY white medicine. It tastes like Stony's butt. Speaking of Stony, she is being a butt.....head. She hisses, and hits me, and Mommy yells at her to stop! What a brat....
