A Compliment From My Mistress

Mistress has been very busy lately, that's why I don't write much.
Anyway. . .last weekend, Mistress deserted me.
No, that's not the compliment she paid me! In fact, that was an insult. She left me and her home to go to some place called. . .Itty Bitty. .. oh, no, it's Little Falls! She went with her friend Jen, human to Twinkie and Lyndi. Lyndi went with them, Twinkie stayed home and the humans joked about Twinkie and me having parties while we were gone. .. you know, like in those Tidy Cats commercials? Twinkie's house Friday night, mine Saturday night.
Yeah, right.
I guess Jen grew up in this Little Falls, it is also where Charles Lindberg grew up, something to do with airplanes. I don't care, the fact is She deserted me!
But she did pay me a nice compliment. Jen closed the doors to her bedroom and bathroom so Twinkie wouldn't make mischief by shredding her precious scrapbooking stuff and drink toilet water. .. ick!
Jen's mom said that the humans would have a big mess to clean up when they got home, implying that us kitties would make a mess. Mistress said "No, I know my Sandy, she's a good girl, she won't mess up my apartment"
*smiles* Thank you, Mistress!
She also did me a favor. They went to Jen's uncle's house one night, I guess Jen's grandpa used to make wooden kitties and Jen wanted to give Mistress some. At the house, Jen and Mistress saw a mama cat and a couple kittens. Jen (the little rat. .. uh, Happy Birthday Jen, I meant!) put a tiny little kitten, just the size of Mistress' hand and Mistress fell in love!
Uh-oh!!
But she was good, she just came home with two kitties. .. wooden kitties that is!
I'm proud of her for that, that little runt would be too young to be pulled away from his mama anyway.
I was a little miffed at her when she got home. She wanted attention and love? Hmmph! I ignored her until she checked out my dish, it was totally empty, not one single kibble left!
She was shocked. She was expecting to see 75% of the food still there!
Well geez, yes after only one night most of the food would still be there, but she was gone for over 48 hours! She came home late too, saying something about late bus, traffic. . .who cares? I'm hungry!
After she fed me and fully unpacked I decided I could sniff her down for interesting scents.

The Chase is On!

"One day or another I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha!"
Not if I can help it!
Mistress keeps following me around, singing that song and chasing me!
Sorry, poor dumb human, I'm faster and more agile, even at my age!
I don't know what she wants with me anyway, but I don't wanna find out! Maybe she wants to practice finding and naming my bones (she is studying to be a Vet Assistant and her latest test was on the Skeletal and Muscular system, she got an 88%!)
Do I look like a specimen? I am to be petted, not practiced on!
So I chased her around the table, she almost got me, but I slipped under a chair, she couldn't fit. I even went behind the sofa, one of my first and favorite hiding spots from long ago. . .okay, so not that long ago, almost two years ago.
I think it's safe to come out now, though, it doesn't look like she's gonna be chasin' me around much more tonight.
Phew! I think I still might keep my distance though!

Today was the last day of winter! YAAAAAAAAAY!! Although someone said something about snow next Thursday.
Ah, who cares? I stay inside anyway.
Another kitty was brought up to the Rainbow Bridge today,(above) he was just 10 days old and not even a full pound in weight, his mama gave birth to him, that's true, but then just ignored him, so the human had to feed him manually for 10 days, but it just didn't work, he was too small and dehydrated, going thru weight loss with diarrhea and even though the human tried her hardest by keeping him warm with a hot water bottle and a plug-in warmer in a carrier, and feeding him KRM (Kitten Replacement Milk) and making several trips to the vet, the poor little trouper just didn't make it, along with the rest of the litter who were stillborn.
