There Is a World Filled with Innocent Creatures to Hunt and Kill

I'm growing to like the new house I live in, my furry brothers and sisters. There are many, many places for me to explore, and there are a lot more windows than before. I have noticed that I'm spending hours upon hours sitting on the back of the couch and staring out the window.

There is a big park right across the way from my new windows, and it is full of things that I would love to catch, maim and kill if I had the chance. I've discovered a new thing called "birds." These things, get this, can actually fly! They zoom past the window and I can't help but dash back and forth meowing profusely.

Evan and Sudha have a new couch that is quite comfortable to sleep on. It's relatively free of cat hair as well, something that I'm going to have to fix in a timely manner. Once I'm exhausted at the window I'll flop down on the couch and sleep for a few hours.

My bathroom contains one of the strangest and most terrifying things. It's a big white box with a round opening on the front. Occasionally Evan or Sudha will come in and fill it with their clothes. I can watch this thing for a long time, but I never get too close, who knows what it could do? It makes these ominous noises and the clothes spin around inside of it.

While I'm on the subject of my bathroom, I have a new litter pan! It's enormous! I try to spray my litter out all over the room, but the walls are too high, I can't get the litter over them.

All in all, I like the new house! It's bright and there are plenty of windows to look out of.

All The Light!!!

My life is over, I've died and gone to hell. A hell filled with bright light and boxes. I must be on my 2nd life now, or is it my third? Nothing makes sense any more!

Four days ago I was unceremoniously snatched up and forced, against my will into the small downstairs bathroom. I escaped with my life, but just barely, only to find that the world was turned upside down. People were all over the place carrying things out of my domain. I tried to run, but Evan caught me and threw me into the upstairs bathroom, which I am sad to say, has a door that latches fully...

Sudha came in a little while later and tossed me into the infernal cat carrier, and then dragged me, clawing and meowing, into the light. I have never been so afraid for my cat self before. They took me in the scary car thing and then locked me in a another room. The noise from outside was deafening, I could here such large things moving back and forth from the other side of the door.

Eventually the noise stopped, and the door opened... and Evan was there. He stepped out of the way and let me through the door. The world that lay through that door was enormous and frightening. I have never seen anything so large and so light.

Since that day I have been carefully exploring every inch of this new place, jumping at every little noise. I dash from cover to cover. The bed I used to hide under is still here, and there's the big green couch I can climb into.

I will update you all again soon with my progress in dealing with this strange place. I need to hide under the bed again for a while!

A Whole New World!

My world is changing. The domain I am so familiar with is slowly transforming into a forest of boxes and suitcases. There are so many wonderful things to climb into and chew on. I have discovered this magnificent material called styrofoam. It was very chewy and extremely fun to bat around.

I've been getting more meals in the form of "wet food." The term "wet food" doesn't begin to do this substance justice. What it really is is a fantastically delicious blend of pungent juices, containing savory hunks of strong smelling meat. It is truly a sensory delight. In fact, it is so good that I can't prevent myself from singing a song every time Sudha or Evan gets one of the packets down from the shelf. 

I have made a nest for myself with Evan's dirty clothes. There is generally a moderate pile of clothes lying on the floor around the laundry hamper upstairs. They are extremely comfortable to curl up on. And they provide an excellent view of the outdoors. I fully support Evan in his practice of putting clothes on the floor rather than in the hamper.

Over the past few days I've been feeling very affectionate. I've been climbing into Evan's lap a lot more, and curling up in the office chair near the computers. I've found out that lying in these strategic places leads to more scratching and rubbing that lying in other places. It's getting to be shedding season, so this also lets me deposit the maximum amount of hair as well.

Despite all these fun activities, my furry brothers and sisters, I can't shake the feeling that something is going on. Evan and Sudha keep muttering cryptic things like "Where will we put your cat's litter pan?" and "I hope she likes the new place." I'm not sure what this new place they are referring to is, but I don't like the sound of it.

I am now alone again. I will spend a lot of quality time staring out the window today. 

The Great Outdoors

It has been a long time, my furry brothers and sisters, since I graced you with a post. It has been a very busy couple of weeks. I had the whole place to myself while Evan and Sudha were in Hawaii. It was a long and lonely time. Emily from upstairs came in a couple times a day to entertain me. She was pretty good at it. She never stayed long enough to completely do my bidding all day, what was a little disappointing.

By the end of the 10 day trip I was getting a little restless. I had no feet to pounce on, no hands to swipe at and bite. I did get some random visitors every now and then. They came in looking around at the apartment. I'm not sure what they were looking for, but I certainly did my best to be underfoot.

Sudha and Evan got home on Monday afternoon. I allowed them to spend quite a bit of quality time petting me. I graced Sudha's lap with my presence for about an hour, then I graced Evan's lap. Then Evan did the most ridiculous thing!

He took a plastic container that was sitting on the counter.... and moved it over to the table! I mean, how could he possibly have the nerve to do such a horrible thing to me? I really don't understand what got into his head at that particular moment. Needless to say, I puffed up my tail, flattened my ears back and clearly demonstrated my displeasure with his action.

I've also found that suitcases are very delicious. I've spent quite a bit of time over the last couple of days chewing on them, sleeping on them, climbing into them. The clothes in them have had a whole 10 days to lose any and all cat hair on them, and I needed to replenish their supplies.

Yesterday, I made it to the outside very briefly. Evan was on the phone, out on the balcony, and Sudha opened the door to go see him, and I sneakily darted out! She caught me and tossed me back in. I got out again when Evan opened the door to look for his keys. I made it to the middle of the balcony that time. But then for some inexplicable reason, I was utterly terrified and became disoriented. Then I was grabbed from behind and thrown back inside again.

Anyway, they've gone off to work again. It's time for my early morning post-sleep nap.
