chasing a fly

Boy this morning I was busy. I got up early and eat my breakfast, ran around the house then went back to bed with mom. I was just laying in bed waiting for mom to get up and that is when I saw it fly by at first I did not thinking anything about it. Then it buzzed by me again and that is when I knew I had to jump to action as we had a full fledge invader in the house. It was Lucy's day off so I knew I was on my own. The invader was a house fly it flew all over the bed room, and I went into action. I ran all over the bedroom. I ran in the window, jumped on and off the bed several times. I even ran across mom's face several times. The fly would land, and I would get ready to jump on it and it would take off. This lasted for awhile. This fly was very slippery and smart. I could not get him. Eventually he flew out of the room, and I was on his trail, but eventually he flew somewhere I could find him. I know if I see him again I will catch him. Just do not tell Lucy I did not catch him. She will be upset, and grumple that she should have never taken a day off. She could catch the fly in a single blow. I going to look for the fly.

8 month anniversery

It is almost my 8th month anniversery since I moved in with my family. I really like living here it is a lot of fun, and there is always plenty of food for a cat to eat. I have even tried human food, and it is very good. I love Lucy she is a real cool cat. I like hang out with her, and she is always able to get us some snacks. We have a nice big box in our bedroom, and mom put a blanket in the box. We both like to sit in the box, and sometimes we share the box together.

Even though I love my family there is one member that I hate. Her name is Abbey. I never liked her. From the minute I moved into my home I knew we would not get along. She is always looking at me, and sometimes she want to play. I do not like her, and she is very loud. She barks and barks it hurts my ears. However, I must say I do have her under control. Ever since I moved in I let her know she can not mess with me. I have hissed, growled, and scratched her many times.
Of course I get in trouble for doing it, but I need to let her know I am the boss of her.

Well, I guess you could say I like living with my family, and I am glad I live with them. Of course they are very happy they have me. They could not have a better cat. They know they are lucky to have me

What a treat

I live inside most of the time. I am not allowed to go outside as my family is afraid I will run away or just get lost. I was a stray cat for awhile, and I lived outside. I did a lot of hunting and had to deal with the elements outside. It was a hard life, and I must say I do like having a house to live in. However, a couple of days ago my momma carried me outside in the back yard. It was very nice I got to smell the air and look at trees and bushes. I even saw a bird fly by. It was very nice. The only thing I did not like was when the neighbor dog barked it was scary. My dog sister who gets to go out whenever she wants was outside to and It made me feel a little uncomfortable as she was starring at me. Anyway it was a nice surprise, but was glad to back inside the house

Vacations

Well, today is the offical end to my family's vacation. I must admit I am very glad. I do not understand vacations. Why do people need them. If you ask me they really do not do much to deserve a vacation. Think about it, they go away for awhile during the day leaving the cats to do all the work at home, then they come home. They claim to be at work, but who knows cause they are not working here at home.
Another thing that bothers me about these vacations is that dogs get to go on vacations. That does not seem fair to me. Dogs get to go out and have fun and get stronger bonds with the humans while cats are left to stay home with so called cat sitters or go to cat resorts (kennels which are not resorts). What do dogs do to get to go on vacation. If you ask me they are not much help to us cats as noted above cats do all the work while the dog just goes out and has fun and bark
Since my family and family dog went of vacation Lucy and I are going on a staycation. The family can not bug us, only to give us food when needed, and do other cat related chores. I think we will be on our staycation for a couple of weeks, and boy they family and dog will miss us.

Suprise in my backyard (yikes)

Well, I got up at my regular time around 4:30. I ran out to the kitchen for my breakfast. However, I got stopped on my way. When I got to the kitchen Abbey was going outside, but what should I see peeking in my back door, but a dog a big dog. I was a little scared who is this dog in my backyard. Abbey was not concerned, but she loves other dogs. My family was not concerned, but again they also love dogs. I went to the door and stared, but the backed up keeping my distance. I did not want this monster dog jumping through the back door and gettting me. I then remembered hearing mom talking about getting a dog named vernon. Was this the dog, if so she is a big dog not the small dog she was talking about? If this was vernon it would be trouble. I knew if this was veron she would be going back as I will not live in house with a big dog. I could not handle living with two dogs. Oh it was vernon mom was going to be in big trouble. However, I was relived shortly as I found she was the neighbor dog who has somehow gotten into the backyard. My family apperently believes in rewarding bad dog behavior, as they gave her some food, and went out to play with her. I did not like that one bit as they could have been playing with me. However, she was not allowed to stay long as I soon saw mom talking her through the house on a leash. She was going home, hurray. I hope this is does not happen again

Hot weather

Well, it hot here in Sacramento, but what do you expect it is june. The heat does not bother me like it does Lucy and Abbey. However, I do like the weather to be a little cooler. Because it is so hot over 100 degrees the birds, squirrels and bugs seem to be quite. I have not seen any birds, squirrels or bugs outside. They must not like the heat either. It is very interesting. I think I am going to have to go bird watching early in the morning so I can see these birds. I think they are a little whimpy. I have not been doing much.
Oh Mom made me a new toy. It is a plastic bracelet with a nice long string attached to it. I have played a lot with this toy, it is a lot of fun.
I can chase it up and down the hall way. It gives me a good work out.
Well, I going to see what is going on around the house

Birds

Well, it finally happened I saw the birds that I have been hearing. I was sitting in the front window when 20 (seems like 200) birds came flying into my yard. They were little wrens with little wren attitudes. They stayed for a short time as they were scared of me and off they flew. I have not seem them since as they are to afraid to come into the yard, but I still hear them. I dare them to come back. Birds they are pest to us cats.

Bird watching

This has been a strange spring as there have not been many birds to watch. I sit in the window everyday, and look for birds. However, I have not seen many birds. I do not know where they are, it is very wierd. Early in the mornings I can hear them, but I do not see them. I was very disppointed and a little sad as they are fun to watch

I was about ready to give up this activity when I spotted some birds in my front yard. They are little brown wrens. They are very small, and if I could hunt I do not think I would even try to get this little birds. However, everyday they come bobing their heads and walking around the yard. You can tell they are very cocky little birds, and they often look at me looking at them. I wish some more big birds would come so I could make plans of escaping into the big out doors to catch them. Oh well, maybe they will come tomorrow

Unequal treatment

I do not think it is fair one bit. My dog sister Abbey got to go to the Doggy Dash which is a run/walk to benefit the SPCA. I wanted to go so bad. I have even been practicing my running. I run up and down the hall way hundred times, and I do laps around the house too. I thought I was in good shape and ready to go. However, they left me home with Lucy who is once again having problems with her asthma.
I was very disapointed. However, I think they did not want me to go as I am faster than Abbey and they did not want the new kid on the block to show her up.

When they were gone I had fun. I watched birds, and did some of my own running. When they got home I was happy to see the family, and a little disapointed they did not lose Abbey in the crowd. However, they did bring me home some cat treats they got at the Doggy Dash, but not as many as Abbey got. Oh well, maybe next year they will have a cat dash and I will win. Going to practice my running

a little of this and a little of that

For the last few mornings and evenings Lucy and I have been having belly laughs. Abbey our dog sister has to wear boots to go for walks as she keeps getting foxtails and stickers in her paws. It is kind of funny as she look so silly.


My teeth a getting better, but the gums are still red. However, it has not stopped me from eatting. Mom gets Lucy and me some really good cat snacks and I do like to have them after dinner. Sometimes I get them in the morning. I have also tried dog food, and it is pretty good. Right now Abbey is on a low fat diet food, and it does not taste that good.

Well, got to go
