Mommies are back

My mommies are finally back! They left me all alone for almost 5 days. The nerve of humans. I was very lonely but i had the best cat sitter. John came and hung out with me everyday. We napped, played and watched tv together. The best thing is he gave me wet food everyday. My mommies don't do that not even when i ask nicely. My mommies said they missed me but that they had so much fun and went to this place called SeaWorld. They saw lots of fish and other underwater creatures, if you ask me it sounds more like a buffet than a vacation. I was so excited when they got home and i got lots of kisses and pets. But then i thought about it and why should i be sweet they left me here alone by myself. Sure John came to see me but that is becasue he loves me and knew that mommies were wrong in leaving me. Why couldnt i go along and check out this place called Orlando? So i made sure my mommies knew i was upset. My cattitude was showing and i bit mommy in the arm to make sure she knew i was angry. When mommy m was unpacking her suitcase i helped and threw everything out and firmly planedt myself in it so she would know i was to come along next time. sometimes you just have to be direct with humans.

I am glad they came back although i chased my mommies this morning and bit their feet, hehe. Also there is a nice present in the litter box waiting for them to come home, hhehe. i am a rotten boy!

the traitor

I have finally begun to heal after the tragedy of this past weekend. Friday started off nice as mommy A stayed home with me. She said she was supposed to study for her big exam but i made sure we got plenty of cuddle and play time. I made sure she took breaks by sitting on her keyboard. Then mommy A went to vist friends leaving me by myself =( but mommy M came home soon after. I was so happy to see her and told her all about my day. I love talking to mommy M becasue she always asks about my day and we chat and then go sit on her bed and i purr and pat on her neck and i give nose bonks. Then the boyfriend (BF) came to visit! I love when he comes over. He brought his backpack and I climbed all over it and played with the straps. Then all of a sudden the fun was haulted. Mommy M scooped me up and i saw all the supplies for the most dreaded procedure, ear cleaning! While Mommy M heald me I pleaded for bf's help. I let out the loudest cry i could possibly muster. I am sure the neighbors heard. But did anyone come rescue me? NO!!! and bf even handed Mommy M more of those awful things they call q-tips. He is such a traitor. of all people i never thought he would betray me like that! finally i was set free and bf tried to give me treats. i cannot be persuaded so easily. although the next day he did bring me some fuzzy mice. I will have to think about it before he is fully trusted again. more mice and treats just might work.

Another trip to the pet doctor.

I had a pretty exciting weekend, minus the trip to the evil place. Mommy M stayed home to play with me on Friday. We both slept in and cuddled. Finally we got up, and you know what that means. PLAYTIME. I had a morning game of mice and then I helped clean. I love to help sweep. I lay right in the middle of the floor on the stuff to sweep so mommy knows where it is. Then we straightened up the couch. I love to untie the strings to that mommy has something to do. and i help straighten out the wrinkles in the slipcover. For lunch mommy was having chips and salsa. I love chips, so while mommy got up i pulled the bag on the floor and helped myself.
On saturday Mommy A took me to that evil place, they call the vet. I didn't want to go so I scratched mommy A when she was trying to put me in the carrier. Once there we had to wait a long time os i explored a bit and sat on the computer in the room, it didnt get internet so i lost interest. I also sat in the sink and explored the shelves. I have gained another 1.2 punds in the last 6 weeks. I am so handsome and buff. I stil have an ear infection and am now on 2 new meds. Finally we left and went home, it was so exhausting, so i took a nap until sunday.
On Sunday, one set of my grandparents came to visit! we played and purred and had a great time. They were very impressed with my hanger-playing abiltiies. I am so smart. I gave my mommies extra purrs and a 4 am feline frenzy for mommies day.
I know they sure love everything i give them
