I've been Tagged!

I’ve been tagged by my orangie pal Pumpkin Puss to play this fun game.

1. What is your favorite Olympic sport?
Gymnastics. I like to watch the humans contort and stretch themselves into positions that only kitties should be able to do!

2. Which do you prefer—summer or winter?
Definitely winter. Summer in Los Angeles is too hot! It makes me tired. But winter is pretty nice, except when it rains.

3. What is the quirkiest thing you do?
Sometimes I do the “gopher trick,” where I sit up on my hind legs & meow pathetically, because I want some action NOW!

4. Do you have a crush on any other kitties?
Definitely not! I remain aloof and in charge. However, when I come in from the outdoors, Belle usually checks me over, and sometimes she nuzzles me. I let her do it.

5. What is your favorite rosie or zealie, and why?
I like the rainbow stars the best. They are colorful and pretty, and I love that they last forever on my page. I like to revisit the kitties who gave them to me.

Hannah Banana

Dear Diary,

Last week, meowmy saw the colleague who took our feathered-friend, Hannah, under her wing (so to speak!). Hannah the Hen, who is now fondly called Hannah Banana, is doing very well in her new home. Hannah spent the first 5 days at her new home in a cage within the chicken compound. Two aggressive hens tried to peck her through the cage, but Hannah stood up to them. When Hannah was finally let out of the cage, the aggressive hens again tried to peck her, but she continued to stand up for herself. Eventually everyone left each other alone, and nobody got hurt. Hannah is now completely assimilated into her new chicken family! Hurrah for Hannah!

Sincerely,
Antoine

Hannah the Hen Has a Home!

Dear Diary,

Our dear friend, Hannah, has a new home.

Hannah, a sleek & beautiful hen, came into our lives eight days ago, when she mysteriously fell into our backyard. At first, I was interested in her. But since I decided to leave her alone, I got to go outside on my normal schedule. Hannah lived on the back patio, but she kept looking into the house as if she wanted to be inside. At night and when she got spooked, she sought refuge in a tree. Hannah was sweet natured and quite tame. She must have belonged to someone. But who?

As meowmy cared for Hannah this past week, it became apparent that she felt lonely and vulnerable in the yard by herself. So meowmy found Hannah a new home with a friend who raises chickens. Now she will be protected and live with lots of other hens. We will miss Hannah and the arcadian temper she brought into our lives. We wish Hannah well in her new home.

Sincerely,
Antoine
