A little more trouble

Hi,

I got in trouble again. I got caught in the kitchen sink drinking some water. It had kind of a funny taste. Connie escorted me out of the sink and she went back to the computer and nosey me got back up there. Connie said what I was tasting was soap as she had just washed her hands and there was a bowl in the sink. So what I wanted to say, but I know my place and I kept my mouth shut. I guess she isn't the only crabby one in this house tonight!

I went outside in the snow the other night. My paw prints are still in the snow as I didn't move. I knew it was cold air coming in the house but I didn't know the snow was cold on my sweet little warm paws. No more plans to venture out. Oh by the way, it was not my idea to go out. I stuck my head out to watch Shadow and I was picked up and set down in the snow. Not a pleasant thing to have happen to me, but I am over it. I snuggled down with Connie at bedtime so she knew I wasn't mad at her.

Well all for now - I am going to go find a nice place to snuggle in again.

More trouble and company

Hi all

Well, I got in trouble again but nothing too bad. I got locked in the utility room twice this weekend and when Connie went to bring me in the second time, she found me in the washer. I peeked out at her and she started to laugh. I have to be so careful to get out of the Utility room before Shadow does or I just get left behind.

The little girls were out tonight for about 30 minutes while Todd did some work at the wood stove. Chloe is afraid of me even tho Connie has said I don't have front claws. Shelby is not the least bit afraid of me and chases me all over the place. She even gave me a jellybean to play with and then chased me into a corner after it. I had a good time and Connie thinks I will sleep very good tonight. I don't think Shelby was with Connie too much. She was so busy chasing me that it gave Connie and Chloe some time to color and read books. Shelby did sit on Connie's lap for a few seconds while Connie was reading a book, but then I came into the room and the chase was on again.

It was a quiet day other than the girls coming here. We all just laid around and rested. I don't know where Chance went when Todd drove up and I haven't seen her since they left, but Connie says she will come around when she feels comfortable that everyone is gone.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Harley was here too. He likes to play with me and all of a sudden he is much bigger than I am. We used to be the same size. Shadow got so upset that he was in the house that she messed on the floor. Connie thought she might have a problem, but it turns out it was part of the Christmas tree. I haven't figured that one out yet and I thought it might be too personal to ask about so I will let it go for now. I am kind of thinking it might be the same as me and Chance. We sometimes get some of the Christmas tree in us too.

Well, I am going to go take a little snooze on the hutch. Connie turned on the little winter village and it is pretty warm up there.

Getting away with trouble

Hi all,

I have been in so much trouble lately, but Connie hasn't gotten mad at me at all. She has been very sad because some friends lost their cat. She was not lost really, but they had to put her down is what Connie told me. Connie puts me down every time she picks me up, but she explained what that meant and I felt sad too. I feel bad for Remington and his family and hope they will be ok. I also hope that if I get really sick Connie would be kind and do the same for me.

So on to my trouble. I tipped over a 5 quart pail of water all over the dining room carpet. Connie never said a word, she just cleaned it up. I was scared because I have done that before and she has gotten mad about it. This time she was just glad that I was there to do it - or at least that is what she said.

I went in the utility room when Connie was going to put Shadow out and decided to snoop around that room so I missed being let back in the house. I had to sleep all by myself and it was so lonely. About 3 AM today, Connie heard me and let me come out. She got in the recliner and I jumped up and layed on my back on her lap. We were like that for about an hour. It felt so good. She rubbed my tummy and I just purrrrrrrrrred.

Well, Shadow told me that tomorrow is Remington's birthday. I don't know when my birthday is so Connie is saying that my "birth" day is the day she rescued me from the woodpile. She said we will celebrate that day every year. I was ok with that as long as I can celebrate. The day she rescued me is very close to Chance's birthday, so maybe we can celebrate together.

Well, better go. Russ just got home and I can't miss a chance to be loved. Happy Birthday Remington.

Tigger the Tiger

Hi,

I made my first kill today. I had been hanging out in the hall closet most of morning, both me and Chance were. Well a couple of hours ago Russ asked Connie what I was playing with in the living room. She went in and looked and found this tiny tiny animal - a mole or shrew is what she said. I didn't want her to have it so I laid down on top of it and looked at her. She got a paper towel and when I turned my body towards Shadow who they said was waiting for a hot meal, she grabbed it. I didn't notice it was gone until it was too late. I was kind of upset with her, but she seemed to think it was an OK thing to do. I am now wondering if there might be more in that closet so I will pay more attention. I might have to keep my eye on Chance and if she heads that direction, I will just follow her and see what I can find. It is very cold out today and Shadow has only gone out once and she wasn't out very long. We had a deer laying in our yard last night and we all watched it until it was so dark out that we couldn't see it any more. Russ said he was pretty sure it was still there about 2 this morning when he looked. Connie walked over to where it was laying and said the snow was melted almost down to the grass so it might have been there for a long time. I hope it was OK. Russ said our crippled mama deer was at the feeder early this morning too. I don't like them and I glare at them every chance I can. Well, better go, Chance just headed to the closet and I don't want to miss anything. Tigger.
