This and That

Hi

It is me Tigger again. Connie has started calling me Munchkin because my front legs are so short that I look like a little munchkin. That is ok - I like the name. I think it means she loves me.

Remington, I liked your story about the cold box. I have one in my kitchen too. I don't get anything out of it (on purpose anyway). I did try to get something out of another piece of equipment in the kitchen but it was too warm. I wanted to put my paws on this big flat thing that came down from it, but it was very warm. So, I just went on my way. I am not sure what came out of it - something sweet is all I know because I licked Connie's plate clean when she put it on the coffee table and headed to the bathroom.

I haven't been doing too much lately. I try to keep an eye on the goings and comings around here but there hasn't been too much of either. Connie had a cold and stayed home most of the weekend so we just cuddled either in bed or in what she calls the recliner. She has a slanket and I can cuddle up in that with her. It looks like a backwards bathrobe but is heavy like a blanket. It is also too warm for me. I like it cooler - must be because I was originally an outside cat and lived in the woodpile. I try to sneak outside when Shadow goes out, but I get caught and sent back. Anyway, it has been pretty cold out, but I heard it will get colder so maybe I don't want to become and outside cat again.

It is pretty nice in here. I have all the food I want and only have to chew on Connie's nose a couple of times in the morning to get her up to fill my bowl. She said I am becoming a good kitty because she can fill the bowl and I don't eat it all at once like I did when I first came in here. Maybe that is because I know Chance has her own bowl and food and won't take mine. I do take hers whenever I get the chance (no pun intended).

Well all for now. It is getting close to bedtime according to Connie. She said she has an early morning meeting tomorrow.

Tigger, the little munchkin!

Hunting Season

Hi all,

I am not going hunting today. I can get in enough trouble just laying around the house!!!!! Connie started rearranging the living room last night and started sneezing - too much dust I thought. But, later on she decided it wasn't dust but a bug she picked up - said she got it at work from one of the guys. I sure am glad I don't work with her - she wasn't very happy. She said she had been very careful to wash her hands good, but maybe the germs flew from one office to another. I saw that on tv one day and it didn't look good. She said she is going to drown herself in orange juice, hot tea, hot tang and water. Hmmmm - none of that sounds like Tigger treats but I might just check them out anyway. We had company a couple of nights this week - Todd's new puppy, Harley. He is kind of cute and just my size if I puff myself up just a little bit. He wanted to play and we did the first night, but the second time he was out Connie leashed him and kept him beside her in the dining room. That was after she used this big machine that looked like the vacuum only has water in it. She said she was glad she had it right there handy. He ate a red color crayon and Connie said she found it on her floor but didn't want it back. She and Chloe didn't think it was very funny. I came around to play with him, but she wouldn't let him loose. Oh well. Maybe next time. I am going to stay away from her as much as possible this weekend as I don't want to get sick. All for now.

News from me

Hi all,

I tried to put up a different picture, in fact I put two new ones on this site. I think I did it - all by myself. I thought I was going to have to talk with Remington about this, but I pointed out the tool bar to Connie and she was able to add the picture.

Some where on this site are two other pictures, but now I don't know where they are. That is pretty scary. The other one is of me curled up next to the old lady of the house. She just let me walk right up and lay by her.

I have been a pretty good kitty since I had pork tenderloin last Saturday. I didn't get sick either. Yesterday I had a lime chip - I should say I licked the salt and lime off a chip. It was pretty good. Shadow came along behind me and at the chips. Maybe that is why she let me lay by her. I had left treats for her.

All for now - I just got caught hiding in the high chair. It seems to be kind of warm so I am going to take a little nap.

Weekend with Velcro

Velcro was here this weekend. I don't know how she got that name, but her real name is Shelby. She says "hi" to me and laughs after she says it. Connie said she says it a lot - like every time she sees me and all the time when I am laying on the back of the glider behind Connie's head when she is rocking Shelby. I had a real good time with her except I have to sleep in the porch because I sneak into her bedroom and scare her. Connie doesn't like that. Shelby shares food with me - cheerios are especially delicious and I can eat a lot of them as they hit the floor. Tonight Connie and Shelby had to go to the building to pick up Russ. I guess Todd got to use "our" 1961 Chevy to drive a bride and groom from Palisade to the Legion, and Russ went there and got it and put it away. Anyway - while Connie was getting Shelby ready to go to town, I jumped up on the table and ate Shelby's pork tenderloin. Connie wasn't real happy with me. Shelby was done eating so I don't know what the big deal was. She had been sharing her breakfast with me. Kellie came out today too and played with me. She lays me upside down in her arms and rubs my tummy. I like that for just so long and then we are done. I slept most of the day with Chance in the bedroom in the sun. It was so warm and she was glad I was there. She must have been because she didn't chase me away! Well, all for now. I am going out to the porch. Connie thinks I will have a stomach ache tonight. I guess she thinks I ate too much pork. We will see.

My indoor swimming pool

I am such a lucky kitten. I have my own private swimming pool. It is very clean and the water comes and goes by using a silver lever on the side (Connie operates it). The water is kind of cold, and the pool is very slippery but once I was in, I managed to get out on my own. Connie was in the bathtub and all I heard was "oh you stupid cat". I am now wondering, as I dry myself off, if I was not supposed to get in there. I will have to investigate it again sometime and see if it is really made just for me. I will let you know how all this turns out.

My new mama

I didn't think it would ever happen, I hoped for it. I got my first bath from my new mama today. If you look closely to the picture, you can see Chance's tongue licking my leg. She did my ears earlier in the morning, but Connie didn't have the camera in the bedroom. I am so happy. I think she loves me. It is very cold outside and we are both curled up together on the foot of Connie's bed. It is very warm. Chance said it is because the mattress pad is on. Ok, so I will accept that. Don't know what it means but if it makes the place I sleep warm, good for it!

Playboy of the month

Hey, look at me. I am the October Playboy. Connie says that is a big deal. Both Connie and Kellie thought this was pretty funny and, of course, very cute.

Oh yes, I really got caught. Connie got up to go to the bathroom about midnight and had to step over Shadow who was sleeping outside her bedroom door. When she came back, she had to step over her again and when she did, I popped my little head up. Shadow didn't even know I was there and she was so warm with all that thick white fur. When I lifted my head, she got up and moved. I think Connie wanted to get a picture but I am sure I would have moved before she could get the camera.

Chance and I are getting along better. I still want to push this friendship, but have been content to sit back and wait for her to really accept me. Connie said she accepted Nala when Kellie first brought her here so maybe she will finally accept me too. I hope so.

Well, all for now.
