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.
