Boring

The female human has decided that I am very boring when I am not traveling. I sleep a lot. I ask for food every time someone walks into the kitchen and I watch birds, but am too slow to chase them. Since I don't have travel plans the female is not going to post my stories for me. Maybe she will again if I have something interesting happen. But for now....I'm just going to be boring and sleep a lot.

Milo

There is a gray and white cat that comes into my yard. This is MY space. No other cats will be tolerated. I howl, growl and yowl at him. Usually he leaves, but today my female human had to chase him around the garage with a broom. Sometimes she squirts him with the hose, but he is getting wiser and she is getting slower at getting the hose out. He is young and stupid. The female will try to at least get a picture of us together, maybe even a video so you can hear how angry I am. At night Milo comes to the back door and looks in. I attack the glass. Maybe the female can get a shot of that.

The Food Door

The humans keep food behind a white door in the kitchen. They used to give me treats like bacon and cheese. Lately they give me only a certain kind of food. Same thing, day after day. They keep saying something about a thyroid issue, but I don't understand. I want bacon dammit!

I claim this doorway as mine.

The Torture Chamber

They have to wear asbestos gloves...ha ha.

The humans put me in the black bag and took me to the torture chamber. The last time I was there they did unspeakable things to me. I remember well. This time they poked me with sharp objects and held me down while they clipped my nails. I fought back furiously. It took 4 of them to hold me down. My howling could be heard throughout the office. Four humans to one cat. Next time it will take 5!

I am right here

At night the humans lock my escape tunnel. They usually check to see where I am before they lock the door. Sometimes, I am outside at one of my mouse hunting stations. Sometimes I ignore the humans when they call me. Depends on my mood and whether I have seen a mouse. Last night the female human took a flashlight and went out in the rain, looking in the bushes where I usually lurk. I could hear her calling but I was very warm and comfy in a new sleeping place. She went through the back yard and through the front yard. When she came back in the house I got up from my new sleeping place and stood in the hall. She didn't think to look in the chair by the fireplace! It is amusing to watch humans run around searching for me when I am already in the house.

The shower

I have discovered a new source of water in the house. The humans stand in it and water comes out of the wall. When they leave there are delicious puddles of water on the floor. They do not seem to want me in there with them so I wait and occupy the soft fuzzy rug outside. There is no room for them to step on the rug. They seem a bit annoyed. Too bad.

I was not going to continue this blog because I wasn't traveling very much. The male human did take me camping in the forest this summer. There were dogs and motorcycles. He only brought the dry food! He does not feed me as well as the female human. I also went to Bend for the humans early Thanksgiving feast. There were three big black dogs. I did not go out.

They call these dogs my "cousins." I want nothing to do with them. The one hiding in the kitchen is Jackson with his human Kathy.

The two below are Bart (L) and Pepper (R) with the girl human Erica.

 

This is me in the truck. I've come to accept my fate and only get crazy for a while. I like having long claws so I can hang on.
