Purr, world!

Short-circuit?

Hello Y'all,

Lo-o-o-o-ong time no write, y'all! The human let too much time go by so Amalia demoted her to intern transcriber of our memoirs.

Maybe my human needs repair. I think she had some sort of short circuit this week, when I was asking for food. You know, human has this invisible button on her face; I lick the button and it activates the feeding process. Amalia has put me in charge of activating human every morning for breakfast.

Well, last Tuesday I wake up and go to human to lick her face. She starts covering her face and saying nonsense like "Mabel! It's 1am! it's one a-m! it's ONE AM!" I mean, what does that have to do with me being hungry? Then human started rolling on the bed, covering all over with the blankets. It was really hard to find the button, and yet she wouldn't activate the feeding process.

At one point I couldn't help it and told her "human, I am soooo hungry I could eat y'all's hair. Look!" and, well, I started eating her hair. Then she did the most unimaginable thing: took us out of the room and closed the door... For the first time ever! and saying that nonsense "It's 1.30am! It's ONE-THIRTY AM!". Worse yet, she locked the door so I couldn't open it.

Amalia came to the rescue. She said "Ok Mabel, you know what? I am going to dig a hole that will go underneath the door so you can go activate human, ok?" . She immediately started to work, digging, *scratch scratch*, digging.

Amalia didn't need to finish because human jumped out of the bed "ok ok ok I'll feed you! don't ruin the carpet!". She fed us while saying "It's two am! It's TWO in the morning!" .... that part I don't get, I mean nobody was asking her to tell the time.

Birthday; high-five (paws) !!

Hello Y'All!

Guess what? I am officially no longer a kitten!! I turned 1 year old last friday Sept/5.

That's when we were in this other house with 2 more people and 2 cats. The lady person (whom my human calls mom) was sooo impressed with me that she kept "suggesting" that I stay and live with them. But human wouldn't leave me =)

The 2 other cats were... not so welcoming, but we almost became friends.

Soooooo.... on birthday morning I had a succulent breakfast. Human gave ME food mixed with yummy treats. It was so good that I kept going back and ask for more.

Then I got gifts! New collars hand-made by my person, a bunch of toys and more treats. I'll tell human to upload pictures.

=^_^= SOMEBODY GAVE ME 5 PAWS!!!! =^_^=

Thanks to the awesome anonymous human who gave me 5 paws when viewing my page! My Catsterland stats are getting much better now, woohoo

Evacuation

Hurricane Gustav hit Louisiana in early September 2009. Human, Mabel and Amalia had to quickly pack and take their first road trip together...

** 30 min. driving **
- Human: Are you ok, kitties?
- Mabel: ? ? ? purr... meow...
- Amalia: MGWAO! MGWA-A-A-O!

** 2 hrs. driving **
- Mabel: .... (not sure what to do or say)
- Amalia: MMMME-E-E-E-OW! ("haven't I said I don't like car rides?!")

** 3 hrs. driving **
- Mabel: mmmeooow.... mmeow... MEOW! ("I don't like this, it moves too much!")
- Amalia: (takes some rest now that Mabel took over on the complaining)

** 4 hrs. driving **
- Mabel: (after complaining for the last hour, lays down and gets some rest)
- Amalia: MMMGWAO! MMGWAA-O-O-O-O-O! ("I am not talking to you after this!")
- Human: aaw sorry kitties....
- Amalia: (makes some noise.... human looks back and there she is: Amalia throwing up on the back seat... poor kitty left all breakfast there)
mmmmeeeeeeoooooooowwww

For the next 8 hours, Amalia and Mabel alternate: one kitty complaining (loudly) for an hour at a time...

** 12 hrs. driving **
- Mabel: meow... ("you know, maybe this is where we live now, in this moving thing")
- Amalia: mmgwaO. ("yeah maybe, whatever")
- Human: are you ok kitties?
- Amalia: *sigh* ("I'm not talking to you")

Either the kitties were too exhausted, or simply accepted the idea of being in the car for ever. With many roads closed and heavy traffic, the whole ride took 19 hours!

~ ~ ~ Wishing all Louisiana kitties and their families a safe time ~ ~ ~ ~
