I am still here

I haven't posted in forever. Sorry about that but a lot has been going on and you know it takes an old man like me awhile to catch up. But I am still here - had my 17th birthday a few months ago. Mommy made it special for me like she always does.

I am going to start trying to post more, I promise. But for now I need a nap. Later!

All gone

the Roommates are all gone now - but in their honor i now sit in their old spot on the sofa - all the time. MOL. It's kind of nice around here just us for once. Not sure how long it will stay this way.

So any way I have over heard Mommy buzzing lately. She is all excited. I guess she just realized that this year will be my sweet 16. So she is trying to plan me a Sweet 16 party. I mean we always do something as a 'family' but it sounds like this may involve others and cakes and ballons. Sounds.... um crazy if you ask me. but it's months away. Baring any medical issues of course.

I am a laid back dude though as long as I don't have to entertain any one. and they can all bring me gifts I am cool with that.

the weekend

So the mean roommate was gone all weekend. Yay! She came back last night and had the nerve to tell me - yes me - that I needed to respect other people property. But she is the one always shoe-ing me off of the Sofa when she is sitting on it. I mean it's a big sofa and I always sit as far away from her as I can. I just want to sleep on it, I am old and I don't need to be sleeping on the floor.

It's Mommy' s sofa though and she lets me sit on it when she is there. And when I sit on her lap and the roommate tries to shoe me Mommy just looks at her and said he's fine, he won't move, he'll stay right here beside me. I snuggle Mommy and secretly give the mean girl dirty cat looks.

So mommy sent me to my room after the roommate got home. She doesn't want me around her any more. But I had the run of the house all weekend! I can't wait until she is gone.

Scary

Da Roommate was mean to me tonight. Ok I may have deserved it a little but still I am a little old guy.

Mommy was on the phone in the other room and I peed on the roommates bag. She chased me around the house and snatched me up by the scruff of my neck and tossed me in my room and yelled at me.

Mommy is very upset about it. Yes I need disaplen but she thinks that I was handled ruffly. I am in my room now and Mom said I would have to stay here and I was not allowed out with her around.

Oddly enough the roommate picked up on mommy's anger and tried to say that she was careful and that she didn't hurt me, and then informed us that she would be moving out this month. She acted like mommy would be mad at her for leaving but in light of recent events mom is very pleased.

So any kitties need a Room?

Happy Burfday Me! (the big 15)

This is what happens when you get old. This morning Mommy woke up and rolled over to me and I got woken up to her singing happy Burfday to me! I forgot it was today. Mom is usually out of town this week so we never get to celebrate it on the right day.

So we snuggled and she sang some more. It was nice. I like the simple things in life I guess.

I will be 15 today. Next year I will be old enough to drive.

Oh and Calvin picked me as his Furend of the week! Today just keeps getting better.

I can has snuggle?

Oh so I stole that from the website mommy goes to all the time. I Can Has Cheezburger


Any way Mommy has not been feeling well lately and has been very snuggle at night. If I don't snuggle her she lays there and pouts something awful. Last night I slept on top of her head for crying out loud. I could not get cozy. Usually I am an under the cover kind of cat. But Mommy was restless last night.

I hope tonight is better.

Oh and thanks Lancelot for the bunny gift, I think it's really cute. I wonder what Peta really tastes like...um.

Oh and in other news, Rayne fell out of the Window last night. The one in the office that I fell out of a few days before. So now I don't feel so bad since she is a young thing (just over 1 year old) but I am sure she was messing around and not paying attention. But still she fell!

Mommy was worried about her because she fell behind the desk, it was kind of weird how she fell and where really. But Mommy picked her up and looked her over she seems to be fine, she was a little scared. This morning her ribs seemed a little sore and maybe Mommy just picked her up weird and she kind of acting like it bothered her. But she does not like to be held any way. So I am baby sitting today while Mommy is at work and I have to keep an eye on her. Crazy kitten.

I fell the other day

The other day while making my way to the Window in Mommy's Office/Studio it turned out to be a real adventure.

First I can no long make to jump from the floor to the desk to the window, so I must climb onto the computer tower then onto the chair or Mommy's lap if she happens to be in the room, then onto the desk, which lucky it multi-level so I can get to the window sill. After I am done looking out over the back yard I usually hop down onto the desk or the drafting table and then the floor.

But oh Old Furt something bad happened this time. I FELL!

Mommy had an artwork out on the drafting table and it was a little slick, I slipped and i ripped it and I feel to the floor. Mommy was in her chair and she screamed. I thought she was mad about the art work but she snatched me up and held me close. She felt my arms and legs for broken bones. I thought she was going to cry! She was so worried that I had hit something on the way down.

When she finally let me go she followed me around the house to see if I was limping. But I am fine. Just hurt my ego. Now she will not let me jump down any more. She places me in the window when I ask and then gets me down when I am done.

I hate this getting old stuff. At least I have Mommy around to look after me.

Ghost cat sighting No.2

Mommy saw the ghost cat again last night, well she didn't see him but this is how it went down.

Mommy got up around 6 am to potty. Our bedroom is right next to the garage and when she stepped into the hall way she noticed that some one had (a) forgotten to turn on the nightlight in the bathroom and (b) had left the garage light on. She could see the glow coming from around the door in the dark hallway. As she stepped closer to turn the light off, which was on the other side of the door. (so the door itself was between her and the light switch) Then she heard scratching at the garage door and it moved slightly. The light at the bottom flickered as it something was there, blocking the light from time to time.

She stepped back, thought to herself, who had been in the garage that day. She had been pretty sure the Rayne and I had been accounted for in her room but she opened her door and turned on the light just to make sure. Rayne and I were both on the bed waiting for her to return to sleep with us some more.

She turned off the light and shut the bedroom door again so that we would not get out, and then went to the bathroom. The only cat not accounted for was our Roommate's cat Emma. But there was not way to know if Emma was in her room with her Mommy's or not. But it was chili and Mom didn't want to leave Emma in the garage - even thought there was not telling how long she may have been in there - So Mommy went back to the Garage and this time opened the door expecting to see Emma, but when she opened the door, there was nothing there. She glanced around the garage a minute but saw not movement.

It was cold so she shut the door, turned off the light and climbed back into bed with me. When she told me what happened in the am I made my fur stand up, Emma doesn't come out of her room much so it was not likely that she had been locked in the garage and we had been accounted for.

So who was in the Garage? And why were they trying to get in the house? Or was the ghost just trying to tell Mommy that the light was on?

Mommy plans to search the Garage for creatures after work, in the day light of course.

Mommy got us a pet!

Mommy got Rayne and I a bunny for Easter. His name is Peta. He maybe going to live with someone else after Easter (if the allow her to gift him) but even if he goes away Mom said if we do well then we can get our own, or we'll keep Peta.

Peta loves me for some reason, she chase me around the room and wants to snuggle me. The roommate likes the bunny too but was afraid we would hurt him but Mommy knows us better. I pet him with my paw a few times. But I am still sniffing him out.

Rayne is all over the place about him. She can hardly contain herself.
