Merrow!

I've found that if I Merrow really nice and loud then the Lap Lady remembers its time to give me my medicines. I don't really know what they are but they taste like wet food and thats great with me! Whenever Lap Lady goes anywhere with a sink (the bathroom too!) I run in there, get between her legs, look up at her with my pretty eyes and say MERRROW! I've got her trained pretty well and its only been a few days. I've found the sink is the key to where the medicines come from and the bowls she puts them in.

I've found a better way to play with the Lap Lady and the sparkle balls. Sometimes sparkle balls are wiley and they go under the bookcase to take a nap where I can't get them. This is when the Lap Lady needs to come over and fish them out. I try to help but only she has the extra long paw with an extention to be able to get them. When she wakes them up she usually finds a few of them together. Then the hunt is on! I kill one in my mouth really fast and then pounce on the other one. Of course, I growl a lot so everyone knows about my great hunting skills.

Last night as I was trying to update my blog I jumped on the tall man (he always has the laptop) and my claw got stuck under a key the :; key to be exact. Off it came flying to the floor. He was pretty annoyed but he got it back on. I made sure to keep jumping up near him so he knew it was my turn. I brought him sparkle balls to revive but he didn't want to play. Eventually I just purred on him and he gave up and pet me. Works every time.

I think I scared the lap lady in the middle of the night. I had decided to be stealthy kitten and I was snoozing on her chest. But I didn't do my usual purr to announce myself so she didn't know I was there. She woke up and looked me right in the face (I was 2" from her nose) and jumped a little. I've found her chest is warm just like her lap. But then I started to purr really loudly and I had to leave 'cause I keep them awake. Hey, I'm trying to be stealthy, I'm trying here!

Fun Weekend!

So this weekend I found out the Lap Lady has other uses. If I bring a sparkle ball to her she will throw it for me. Then I can run and jump and kill it properly. When it is good and dead I bring it back so she can make it alive again. She's good at it. I know that if she's reading or watching the flashy screen that I can just jump up on her with the dead sparkle ball and she'll figure out she needs to pay attention to me. When I have a dead sparkle ball I really need to protect it from the other two kitties. I have to growl really loudly so they know its mine and won't come steal it. Here's me and the green sparkle ball.

There was a lot of nice sun this weekend and Latte & I played in it and when we were tired we gave each other baths and feel asleep. Sadly the Lap Lady and Tall Man don't want me to sleep with them all night because they say my purring (while adorable) is a bit abnoxious and keeps them awake. That and the walking across their faces. I don't get it but I just snuggle with Latte instead.

I'm coughing and sneezing a bit

Just when I thought I was settled in and wouldn't have to leave, that lady came back and lured me into that box with the holes and the metal door. She was wiley, I went in there to investigate the towel and then she shut the door on me! I promptly started in on my list of complaints (they all sound the same but I figured I'd repeat them many times anyway). Then she put me in the big grey thing that moves and makes strange noises. Just when I thought we headed for home she took me into that vet's office. We sat there for a long time but I decided to be quite because there were obviously louder animals with worse issues. After waiting for an eternity she put me on a high table and opened up the door. I merrily came out and of course started to purrrrrrr. I use this trick when I want everyone to say "Aw, how cute! Why don't you take that little darling home and give her some chicken!!". It didn't seem to work. The flashing numbers said 6.2 which the woman was happy with since two weeks ago they said 5.6. I was a little happier this time and even let them violate me with that temperature taker thingy. I was NOT pleased but being the lady that I am, I just kept on purring and didn't flinch at all. Then the little woman with the white coat came in. She asked the lady lots of questions about me and my eating and pooing (which is normal thank you very much!) and my sneezes and coughs. Lately I'd been sounding like a sneezing/coughing machine and I have lots of eye gunkies. While I could generally purr right on through the coughing, the past day or two I would have little coughing fits. After they tried to listen to my heart and lungs (I kept on purring) the lady in the white coat proclaimed that I am generally in fabulous health. However, she said I have a URI which she said came from some virus. Whatever, I just wanted to go home and tell Latte about this crazy place! (Seems when I did tell him he just looked at me like I was lucky to have only been there twice.)After everyone said how pretty I was 20 more times the lady brought me back home. Thank goodness! But then she picked me up and put some banana flavored stuff in my mouth. She was really quick (she said she has lots of experience with the Clavamox stuff)so it wasn't that bad.But here's the bad part! She picked me up again and tried to put this molasses like substance in my mouth (she said it was l-lysine but I just think its completely vile). Being a wiley little frootbat I turned and was able to avoid much of it but it got on my gorgeous fur!! Luckily the lady felt really bad and gave me a nice wipe down with a damp paper towel. I was happy to let her do that because I didn't know how I was going to get myself clean. I'm taking a nap now, today was just too crazy! Seems I have to take this stuff for 10 days now....YUCK! But Latte doesn't seem to care, he says he had to take it for 2 months. Being a frootbat is hard work!!

Purrs, Kaze

Things are looking up around here!

The stinky meezer kitten is actually a lot of fun. He likes to play HARD, which is my specialty, and he likes to snuggle too. We both fit in the Millie bed which is great because I really like to be warm. I gave him a bath and he smelled betteer but then he gave me one too.

The laps around here are GREAT. Just this morning I got to sit in the lady's lap for 20 minutes while I purred. She didn't seem to mind my creamy fur all over her navy blue dress. She is great and lets me lie across her all of the time. The dude is REALLY warm and I really like to snuggle with him because he looks on the computer while they watch the big bright box. Lots of neat things are on the computer and I like to watch. He doesn't like when I sleep with them because my butt always ends up in his face and my purring wakes him up. Luckily for him I would rather sleep in a kitty bed anyway.

The people are gone all day long but that's OK because the Big Kitty (they call him Chase) and the Stinky Meezer Kitten (Latte) are around to play with. The Big Kitty and I are cool, we aren't snuggle buddies or consistent playmates yet but that will come.

The people keep saying how glad they are that I'm here. The lady loves how I snuggle and purr, the Big Kitty loves how he's left alone, and the Meezer Kitten loves how I play, and the dude...I don't really know what he thinks.

Bye for now!

OK, my entire world just changed!!!

So there I was minding my own business with my handsome brother and tons of cat friends when these two people came to my house. For some reason they kept trying to play with me and pet me. I was cordial at first but then I just wanted to be left alone. But then, horror of horrors, they put me in this box with holes. Then they put me in their car. I was terrified, I just wanted to go home. I figured the only way out was to try to claw my way. I bloodied all of my claws and it didn't seem to work. Then I just resorted to a constant verbal assault for 3.5 hours. For some reason neither of the people were too happy about that.

When my new mom let me into my isolation room I was thrilled to be out of the box. They left me alone to get used to the place. Not too bad but how long was I staying?

The next day I was really really scared that I wasn't going to get home. My but started leaking poo and I had constant diarrhea. I smelled REALLY REALLY rank too. I didn't want the people to touch me at all, in fact I got a little mean when they tried. Eventually I figured out that the woman was OK and I started lying in her lap and purring.

I got to meet one of the resident kitties here a little bit. I like him A LOT and I don't know why we can't play.

I went to the vets and that was not a fun place to go. I was so scared I resorted to purring in hopes they would just take me home. Didn't work. The next day the lady started shoving these HORRIBLE pills into my mouth which I fight very hard not to ingest. She says I have giardia. Seems like the reason of my poo problems.

So now I have to wait until all of the poo problems are fixed and then I can go back and meet the other two kitties. I am such a lover, I just want the lady to spend all of her time with me. I think I may like it here!
