Lighting, Thunder, and Wet Food

I have made an important new discovery, my furry brothers and sisters: the outside! Sudha and Evan's friend Kate was staying in the house for reunion last week and she very kindly let me go outside on two occasions. It was really very nice of her. I must remember to send her a thank you note.

Honestly, the outdoors is not all it's cracked up to be. The first night, I bolted out the door and then became so petrified with fear that I stayed on the front porch all night. Evan very kindly let me in again in the morning.

The second incident involved both Sudha and Kate. I bolted out of the house again, and then had about 45 minutes of outdoor adventure before Evan let me in the back door.

They haven't let me out again, which is quite disappointing. I've complained about it to them a lot but they don't seem to understand. I'd love to try to go out again now that I know what to expect.

Anyway, the indoors has been quite fun as well. I was dragged to what is known as the "vet" the other day, it was quite a harrowing experience. Evan got the cat carrier out, which never ceases to amaze me. He set it out on the couch, and I sniffed at it for a good 20 minutes, even knocking it off. When he opened the door, I jumped right in! After a terrifying car ride we got to the vet. I took the liberty of growling and hissing at all the various people that came into the examination room. It turns out I have a reputation for it. One of the women who came in had thick working gloves, a thick apron and held a towel in her hand, ready to tackle me. It was quite undignified.

I have become more cuddly over the last few days. I've come to appreciate being scratched and rubbed when I sit in Evan or Sudha's lap, so I've been doing that more. Last night I spent part of the night underneath the bed covers sleeping on Sudha's feet. It was quite comfortable. I was curled there partly for the warmth and partly to hide from the extremely loud thunderstorm that was taking place outside the window. It was very loud, I was a little intimidated by it.

I also found where they keep the delicious wet food! I found the box, and pulled on of the packets out and mangled it with my teeth and claws last night. It was very delectable. Although Sudha seemed a little angry in the morning.

Well, they've gone off to work again, I'm free to inflict destruction upon the house. Until next time!
