Squirrel's Adventures

Holy Meow! Did we ever have a fun day today!

It started with us having a scrap on top of Mom while she was sleeping. I won and Kitcat left the bed for a short while. I got to stay on top of the mountain, er, I mean Mom. Then Kitcat came back and settled for a while, right next to me. That makes almost 20 pounds of cat on top of Mom! I was starting to get hungry but didn't want to give up my spot. Then, the phone rang! That got Mom up and moving and got me my morning treat. Kitcat hasn't been eating her morning treat lately so I get it all to myself. Kitcat is more interested in bugging Mom while she tries to use the washroom and tries to make coffee with that brat constantly in the way.
Anyhow, shortly after that Mom played laser with us. That was fun. Kitcat goes nuts for that. Then Lobo came in for his breakfast. I got up on the first level of the cat tree and gave him a friendly tap when he walked by. When he went back outside, Mom pulled out our new, furry toy mice. Kitcat and I had a good game of mouse for a while. Then, I was getting kind of sleepy but Mom started moving furniture. We both had to stick around to see what that was all about. Then she fired up the Roomba vacuum cleaner.
Kitcat had never seen it in action before because it had a dead battery. After Mom saw that other cat, Max on the Youtube video, riding one, she ordered a new battery. It was charged and ready today so she started it up. I remembered it. I'm not scared of it but I was smart enough to just watch it from the cat tree. Kitcat was a bit afraid of it but not enough for her to join me up there. She watched it, followed it, got chased by it, smacked it, ignored it, etc. She was quite cute if I do say so myself.
There, that should have been enough fun for a day. But, it was snowing big flakes and Mom thought we should go outside and see that. I went out in the cat run for one second then back in. Been there, done that. Kitcat stayed out and played in it because Mom had the video camera going. She is a ham. Later, Mom took me out on my leash in the front yard. I find that more fun. Plus it had stopped snowing by then.
Now, we were both exhausted but Mom had one more trick up her sleeve. I think she was trying to make up for being at work for most of the last month. Anyhow, she pulled out this super fast, giant, robotic beetle! Wow could it ever go! Kitcat and I chased that around for about 20 minutes. I had never seen anything like it before. Of course Mom took some video of most everything we did today.
Then, finally, Mom let us rest and took Lobo out in the woods for a long, soggy walk.
Today was sure a fun day. I felt like a kitten again.

Where is a camera when you need one ....

Yesterday, I was perched part way up the cat tree and Mom threw some toys at me. She through 5 different toys and I caught them all in a row. First a cork, then a small pillow, then a crumpled up piece of paper, then our mini teddy and then a bottle cap. I would catch one in my front two paws, put it in my mouth and then drop it on Kitcat's head (she was watching from below) and get ready for the next pitch.
Another cool thing I did last week was when Mom came home from work, she couldn't find Kitcat. She asked me where my little sister was. She thought I would ignore her and just head to the fridge for my treat. Instead, I walked over to a cloth bag and basically pointed to it. Kitcat was hiding in there. Mom said I was a super smart kitty for showing her where Kitcat was. Then, Kitcat jumped out of her hiding place but Mom already knew where she was because of me.

Kitcat is a brat.

Kitcat is a brat ...
Mom bought some jeans last week. She didn’t get around to laundering them until now. Luckily she looked at the tags before she removed them. She had accidentally bought too big of a size. The label on the hanger must have been wrong. So, she went looking for the receipt. She found bits and pieces of it on the floor. Kitcat did it. Then she found the original bag and folded the jeans and put them in the bag. She is hoping that she will be able to exchange the jeans without a receipt. Moments later, we heard rustling in the bag. By the time Mom got to it, Kitcat was in there and had already chewed up and removed one of the tags. Now, Mom is hoping she can return them with a ruined tag. What a brat that kitten is!
