Lately

So this morning, Mom's eyes fludder open, and there I am! As usual I'm belly-side up when the sun shines in on the bedroom.

She pets me, naturally, and I purr away. Then, her eyes squint as she starts pinching above my eye. Ow! She saw two little fleas! I could see the displeasure on her face considering it's been maybe two weeks since she applied some smelly stuff between my shoulder blades.

She corrals me again though, and holds me close. She's staring at me. I can feel it. Oh, just looking at my "scar" again. I can tell she hopes it won't be a scar, but progress has come to a halt. Yesterday she caught me playing with the dog that created that little cut above my nose...and she broke it up. She gets so worked up the days to a cat show.

Oh ya, this time I KNOW there's a cat show involved. There's pins laid above our reach, but fabric all over the house...draped here, folded there. It's like she's gotten into that for hopes she can be proud of her work, even if I myself get scrutinized by the judges for my obvious stamp of "I play too hard with my fur family". Her worst fear, she told me, was that they'll think I'm abused, or an outside kitty.

Speaking of outside, both my parents and the dogs walked in last night & there I ZOOMED! Mom almost caught my belly on the door, but for the sake tht I didn't get squashed just yelled loudly & hurried to get me, & I think the loudness scared me stiff as I rolled onto my back, (a trick I learned from the dogs). She scooped me up & brought me inside...I guess she decided that scare was enough for the night.

But I had something waiting for her! When she started gathering things for her bath last night she ran into...my vomit! Haha! Actually, it was the pull on my Dad's heartstrings that probably allowed him to feed me more because one of the dogs raided my kitty food yesterday morning...thus my belly said: "No More" even though my head said: "More's never enough".

I think I'll go sleep in the bed now...it's my favorite getaway.
