Background:
We'z got kumpanie fur a week - Miz Cali's Mom & Dad (Unka Pat & Miz Joan) are onna
week'z vacation atta shore - Cali's stayin atta Ranch wiff us.
ANNND, We gotta visit Cali's Howze twicet a day to give da Kat, "B.C." (Basement Cat)
(but he moved outta da basement YEARS ago! :) ) his High Blood Pressure Pill,
fluff his Sandy Box, shake down his Krunchies, and give da Kid sum Kuddles!

Last / First nite musta gone OK - Dad wuz onlee inside a few minnitz.

We showed up fur his "Brunch Pill" this morning, grabbed da newz paper,
and Dad went in ta DO da Kat.

Gone fur-ever ... kame out an let da three of us outta da Bus -
sed "STAY KLOSE to da Howze! (I can't find da KAT!)"

Dad goze back inside ... we kan see his head *poppin up* in alla windowz ...
After a short eternity; Dad comes thru da garage an Hollerz fur HELP! "CINDER!"

"Inside, pleeze ... *FIND* BC da Kat!"

GUD GRIEF, Dad! He'z a lil ole mostly blind kitty - HOW can ya LOOSE him!?
"HUSH, Smart Mouth! Just FIND him - and don't *chaze* him!"

We *scanned* da Basement --- lost cause --- BC's a pretty Grey Tiger -
like wearin a Cameo Koat ... he can disappear ANYwhere!
HEY! Krunchies down here onna floor!

"Get OUTTA his Krunchies ... just FIND him!"

He's not down here ... I'm goin uppiestairs. <skamper> <skamper> <skamper> <BUMP>
(Spring-loaded door toppa da stairs - wiffa door stopper to keep it open 6" -
I got da hang a dat YEARS ago!)

I'd <swept> da Kitchen, Dinin Room an half da Livin Room affore Dad got up da stairs.
Moved into da Master Bunkroom ... "HI, BC!! In your Usual Spot, I see!" (unner da Big Bed -
down by da pillow end.) "Temp Dad's lookin fur ya! Don't panic ... I'll jest LAY here an *point*."

"HEY! You're supposed to be LOOKIN fur da KAT -not nappin onna rug!"
<slaps leg> "C'mone - start LOOKIN! ... Let'z check da Basement again."

Fur da Luvva ... gotta *humor* him - I kan't pop da lid onna Krunchie Kan at home ...
OK, oh fearless Leader ... WHERE ya want me to *search*?

We did da Basement again ... then back up to allua chairz under da tables,
unner the table wiffa "skirt" ... I wandered back inna Bunkroom ...
*Peek* unner da bed skirt ... "HI, BC - jest me, Cinners, again.
Wuld ya mind *trottin* out into da Livin room?"

"HEY, Mutt! FIND da KAT, pleeze - nap later!"

*Grrrrr!* He kan be soooo *s*l*o*w* at tymes!
I gave a half-ar$ed *trott* around da furst floor an *flopped* inna Livin room.
I kan watch fur a Kat Escape frum here.

"Pleeze - FIND da Kat! ~ GO! ~ SEARCH!"

READ MY LIPZ! --- I *FOUND* da Kat ... I'z *POINTED* to him three tymes!
He AIN't gonna like it iffin I pick him up an Deliver him!
FOLLOW ME!! --- LOOK unner da BigBed!
I went back inna Bunkroom an lay down almost UNDER da bed spread ...
wuz almost rubbin Nozes wiffa poor Kat.

I hear footprintz behind me ...
da bed spread *lifts* ... "What are ya looking at?? Where's da KAT?"

GOOD GRIEF! And they let you Drive da Bus onna highways?
I'z LOOKIN rite at da lil Grey KAT you'ze been chazin fur over an hour!
Name's "BC" ... da ONLEE wun dat lives here ... gimmie a Krayon - I'll draw an Arrow onna rug!

"Oooooh, there he is! Unner da Bed!"

My work is done ... enjoy your Pill, BC! I think Dad's got sum Kat Treets, too.
I'll wait inna Basement ... might check ta be sure his Krunchies are "fresh".
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think my *Atta Girl* fur findin him got cancelled when Dad came down
an found me *testin* BC's Kat Krunch! :eek: "BAD Dawg!"
(They WERE purdy "fresh" & "tastey"!)
-------------------------------------------------------------

We eventually headed back to da Ranch ...
Dad backs da Bus in, an we all hopped out.

[Karen]

Aww, Cinder, ya gotta give the old man a break - the bus driver's knees are a tad older than yours, and he couldn't tell you were doin' "point!" instead o' nap!

Bet BC appreciated the extra under-bed time ... made one dude happy anyway!

[ramanth]

*dies laughing* :D :D

[Bengalz]

You have me roaring in tears of laughter :D What a great adventure! I really need to remember to go potty BEFORE reading your posts Phred :eek:

Thanks so much for the giggle and I'm very happy things worked out so well ;)

[Cincy'sMom]

Another great tale from the Pharm!! Good Job finding the Kat, Cinder!!

[shais_mom]

wow that's quite an adventure for Ol' Cinder!!
For the Luvva! ;)
But I'm glad that things worked out for the better!

[captain]

Tears of laughter rolling down my face - oh boy Cinder, you do tell such good stories!!!! :D :D :D

[Pam]

*Grrrrr!* He kan be soooo *s*l*o*w* at tymes!



Awww, Cinder, ya can't blame the poor hooman. He doesn't have the good nose you have for smelling out the Kat. :D

Phred, it sounds like you got yourself a Lassie dog there. Remember all of those episodes where she took her humans to the person in need. (Only thing is they caught on right away to what she was trying to tell them. :p :D ) *snicker* *snicker*

[4 Dog Mother]

Yeah, Phred, didn't you ever watch Lassie?

Great Story, Cinder! You really ought to write a book!

[mruffruff]

I'm wiping my tears of laughter!! Been there, done that, but can't tell it like Cinder does.

Thanks for the hilarious tale.

(We've all been telling Phred for years to write a book. He'd make a mint)

[Randi]

LOL! Aww, Cinder, your dad is getting a bit slow isn't he. There you were pointing your paw right atta kat, and he thought you were taking a nap!! But he got a bit of excersise running up and down the stairs, didn't he! :D

And he locked you out too!! :eek: I'm glad you didn't get your tail squished and it all worked out in the end. :)

Can you tell your dad from me that you deserve some extra treats every day for a whole week! :p

[cyber-sibes]

:D Aw, Cinder, didn't mama ever tell you there'd be days like this? Good job on finding da kat!
:rolleyes: What would ol'dad do without you? Tuck that tail and have yourself a good nap! ;)

[Ginger's Mom]

Aw, good girl, Cinder. It's a good thing you are there to keep everyone in line. :)

[anna_66]

Locked you outta the house...what was he thinkin;)

Glad that everything turned out well. I enjoyed the tale:D

[Cinder & Smoke]

Locked you outta the house...what was he thinkin ;)

Uhhhh, Nooooo ...
I sorta got locked inna GARAGE wiffa Bus! :(

Bowser NEVER liked commin *IN* through da Garage into da Basement ...
he alluz feared he'd get dropped off in his ole BunkRoom inna korner uvva Basement -
eben though that hadn't been where he slept fur over 2 years ...

Sooo, Bowz alluz *hopped* outta da Bus an RAN outta da garage an *bee-bopped*
up to da frunt door - after a sometimes NOT-so-Brief dee-tour around da Ranch.
I used ta go wiff him - just ta keep a watchful eyeball on him! :p
Dad & SmokeMutts would go up da INside stairs an meet us atta frunt door.

SmokeMuttz, bein da GUD Child inna Fambly, alluz ran out ta powder his noze,
then dashed back inna garage & basement to follow Dad uppystairs.
Cali likes ta stick klose to folks who pass treets, so she hangs wiff Dad, too.

So Dad figgered I wuz doin a poddy call & frunt yard inspekshun; thunk nuffin
about were WAS I.
I heard da Big Door commin down - beet-feet back inna garage azza Door kame down <klunk>!
DINT make it to da basement door in tyme! :(
So der I wuz - *TRAPPED* inna Garage wiffa Bus, a Traktor, anna Grass Eater! NUTZ! :(

I shudda **Woofed**!

[joycenalex]

cinder, after thinking about this for awhile, i gotta ask.....do you and your s*l*o*w human make green paper by writing? it's really very good stories you tell.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Do you and your *s*l*o*w* human make green paper by writing?


:confused:

"make green paper by writin" ?? :confused:

Ohhhh ... <BOING> (da Lites kame on!) :p

No, iffin we HADDA write stuff, prolly wouldn't be near as much *Phunn*!

ANNND, Dad kan pro-kras-tinate better than da average Turnip ...
we'd prolly starve waitin fur da Green to come in!

:D

[lizbud]

That's a pretty wild adventure you had Cinder. :) Sounds like BC the kat
was treated to a good show.
