Aloha, Beautiful Freedom

Aloha, my furry brothers and sisters. This is it. This is the start of my beautiful 10 days of freedom from Evan and Sudha tyranny. They are off to to some place called "Hawaii" which sounds very boring. It's always warm and sunny there. No rain drops to watch and to chase. No warm fire to bare my private parts to when it's cold out. I really don't see why they want to go there.

Anyway, Emily, the neighbor and Sudha's co-worker, is going to stop by a couple of times a day to provide my entertainment. I hope she's as good as Evan at scooping the kibble.

Things have been chaotic here over the past couple of days. There are a lot of boxes, bags and suitcases here in my domain. I like to climb in them, but I still don't fully understand them. I chewed off the handles of some of them, and hacked them back up onto the carpet.

I had another duel with the DVD player this afternoon. It makes the most intriguing sounds, I can't help but stick my paws into it, claws bared! It never seems to pay much attention. I eventually gave up and curled up on top of the suitcase instead.

I must attend to my kitty duties for now, my friends. I will fill you in in 10 days time to tell you how my vacation went.

Worship At the Altar of Cuteness

This morning, as I took a magnetic clip off of the refrigerator and carried it upstairs in my mouth, I was struck by how unbelievably cute I am. I mulled it over as I batted the plastic clip back and forth across the hardwood floors. It is astounding how adorable I am. I mean, for being a natural born killing machine, equipped with very sharp teeth and retractable claws, it's truly amazing.

Evan and Sudha were watching a Bollywood movie a couple of days ago, and they just couldn't get enough of me. I like to sit on their laps, but I don't exert myself enough to climb on. I wander over and sprawl on the floor in front of them, looking tired. Then, they will pick me up and put me on their laps, when the worshiping at the alter of my cuteness begins!

Sudha and Evan are preparing to move. The best part about this is that the place is filled with bags and boxes. Just last night, I chewed on one box, then jumped into and took a nap in the other. On Tuesday they came home with these amazing paper bags! I stuck my head into all of them. After they were emptied, I climbed into one of them and began chasing my tail.

Last night, they were watching "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" and Evan put me on Sudha's lap. I was perched on the end of the recliner, but all throughout the movie, something was moving underneath the blanket. I took it upon myself to kill whatever it was. I didn't want it to interrupt the lovely scratching I expected.

I spent a few minutes cleaning the kitchen floor yesterday evening as well. It was quite dirty. But even more important, there was quite a bit of grated cheese that had fallen to the floor while Evan and Sudha were putting dinner together. I was, needless to say, very delicious.

It's getting lighter earlier in the day now. There is a lot more movement outdoors than there was a month ago. I have spent hours and hours over the last couple of days just sitting by the balcony door and staring outside. It's beautiful out there this time of year.

It's time for another day of napping and destruction, my furry brothers and sisters.

Abandon Hope all Wiis Who Enter Here

I've done it again! I chewed through another feeble Wii Sensor Bar cable! This beautiful cable is exactly the right size. Thin and not too tough, my mighty teeth go through in no time!

It's been an interesting weekend. Early Saturday morning I found another bottle cap, brought it up stairs and did battle with it underneath the bed. The hardwood floors upstairs make great bottle cap battling arenas. Evan very unceremoniously threw me from the room after that, and I was only able to re-enter several hours later, chirping and meowing my head off.

It started as a relaxing morning. I got some delicious wiskas food, and even an egg yolk! But I was distracted from them. Sudha and Evan tore the whole place apart, doing what they referred to as "purging." They took a whole bunch of chew-toys and threw them into bags and boxes to "sell" (whatever that means). I must confess, I completely forgot about the scrumptious breakfast I had waiting for me in my bowl. Until Evan picked me up and put me in front of it, then I remember and stuffed my face!

The red dot continues to be a plague upon my consciousness. Sometimes I think I'm this close to catching it, other times I am consumed with despair. It is even more agile than I am; able to climb up walls and doors. Perhaps I should attempt to communicate with it and learn it's secrets.

That's all for now! I've got a glorious day of napping and destruction ahead of me!

Chirp, Chirp, Chirp! And Beer!

I think I'm getting a little old, my furry friends. I've started chirping now and then. It seems to happen especially when I jump off of things. For example, I'll be sleeping on the couch, I'll get up, and jump off to go get some kibble, and at the moment I hit the ground, I always let loose an involuntary chirping noise. It's quite undignified.

I overheard Evan telling Sudha that other cats do this all the time. So perhaps it's nothing to worry about.

Beer, my friends, is a wonderful thing. I love it! I don't care that much for the liquid itself. Evan and Sudha seem to like it. But the best part about beer is the bottle caps! Every time I hear that lovely "clink, clink, clink" I always dash over to the kitchen. I especially like them when the bottle cap is bent in half. I will pick it up in my mouth and take it either to the bathroom or the kitchen and bat it around for a long time on the hard floor!

In fact, just last night, I found a bottle cap that I had hidden somewhere. I spend a good half hour batting it around the floor of the bathroom before Sudha took it away from me.

Last night Sudha came downstairs shortly after both of my humans had gone to bed. She lay down and read on the bed downstairs for a while. I thought I would keep her company, so I pounced onto her belly several times. She must have liked it as I got a good reaction out of her!

I had a good breakfast this morning, a few chomps of kibble and some delicious fresh water! Evan and Sudha have left for work now, time for my day-long nap!

Reading about Vegan-ism

I apologize for my long silence, my furry brothers and sisters! I have been focused, completely and utterly, on the infernal red dot. when it's not haunting my waking moments, it haunts my subconscious! Over the last few days it stopped showing up, I think I may finally have succeeded in killing it.

Reading, I don't really understand it. Every night, before they go to sleep, Evan and Sudha lie and bed a read these things called "books." I've been trying to put a stop to this disgusting habit for a while now, but the other day was quite successful. I placed my whole body between Sudha's face and this "book" while she was staring at it. When she dumped me on the floor, I hopped back up onto the bed and batted my paws all over the page so she couldn't see it! I got 5 minutes of pleasurable ear-scratching by doing this, I should try it again sometime!

Another thing that the humans like to do is stand in this white tub and pour water over themselves. Every morning I try to go in there and examine it after they leave to see what is so fascinating about it. There are little droplets of water running down the side of the tub that are a blast to play with! I can only assume that this is why they like to do this every morning. It can't be related to cleanliness, because any normal creature cleans itself with it's tongue!

This morning I found a very curious object on the floor of the kitchen. It was cube-shaped, and had some delicious sauce all over it. I brought it out into the living room, and started chewing on it, when Evan asked why I had a piece of "Tow Foo."

It was quite scrumptious, I should look into this phenomenon more.
