The Perils of Pinot...cont'd....

[Barbara]

Hi Pinot,
it's Orion here. Can you imagine what my people did. they closed my nice balcony and tore it all down. My door to the outside is closed all the time. They say it will be bigger and better but I can see now that I could easily stroll from the new platform to the roof and maybe go to see the girls downstairs as there is no stupid netting.
My mom says I am not old enough for the Catmobile but I think I am!!!!

Hi Orion, Of course you're old enough to join us on a Catmobile trip! There are no age limits. Sadly, if your Meowmie says no we can't come and get you. We had babies with us on our last trip and everyone pitched in to help care for them and watch out for them. I hope they had as much fun as we did. But don't worry, my friend, you have a place in the Catmobile when your Meowmie says it's okay for you to come. Meanwhile, listen to your Meowmie and know she loves you very much.

Your friend,
Groucho

They should put you in a quiet place Pinot^^ if they are going to rip up your house.
We had people in our front and back yards and we weres scared but now we have places to go , Memorial Shelter where we can be cool and get a breeze.
If it gets too noisy , please let us know Pinot^^, Moose the MagnfiCat ^^ , Priscilla ^^ and Our Awesome Angels will bring you over for a sleep over

Thank you all so much for understanding! You know what they've done now?? They put me in the basement (of course, that's where a lot of my time is spent because I have all my stuff there, but I won't say THAT!)!! Meowmie and Dad are at work, Unca Jimmy and Rich are upstairs, and I can't supervise! I tried to go upstairs last night, Meowmie said, "don't go in the kitchen" and put up a gate. Well, there's a BIG opening behind the sofa in the family room, so I jumped right over the couch and through the opening and landed on some really funny feeling stuff. It was cool, though, it left PAWPRINTS! Mom didn't seem too pleased, but she came to the basement with me and watched TV. Dad came down later and we all watched together.

Uncle Gary, they made a lot of noise the other day, but they're a lot quieter now! Thanks! Groucho, all my stuff is safely tucked away downstairs, so that's OK! Orion, of course you're old enough-see if you can talk Mom into it!

You all are the best! I'm so glad you're there to help keep me upbeat about this!

Hi Pinot - Myndi here. Ya' know, Sparky and I have been discussing this "situation" of yours, and we'd like to offer our view. I know, I know - we're just dogs, so what do we know??? A lot - I tell ya - a lot! Whenever we have someone come to our house to disrupt our routine, we make it as unpleasant for them as we can, so that they will hurry up - do what they have to do - and get the heck out!!! Barking, growling, showing our teeth, mock attacking. Well considering that we each only weigh around 10 pounds, that doesn't really scare anyone off, but what does it, is the constant barking, even when Mom gets irritated with us and puts us in her bedroom and closes the door. That never stopped us from continuing to bark until the offending intruders leave. Actually they get done a whole lot quicker than they would if we weren't here and driving them nuts with our load mouths.
Okay - we know that you don't have a dog brother or sister, but maybe a neighborhood dog friend that could step in and help out??? We tell ya - it really works! Nothing against cats, because you know that we really like you (and we have a couple here we have to tolerate too), but you guys just aren't as intimidating as dogs! Mom told us of one of her RB Meezers that would get in a repairman's toolbox or sit on his lap if he happened to be sitting on the floor working on something. Hope Mom wasn't paying him by the hour, because he would be here way longer than necessary with that cat around!
Anyway girl, we just thought we'd offer that thought and suggestion, as remote a chance it is of it happening for you. The next time anything like this happens, and you find out about it in advance, just let us know, and we'll be there in a flash to provide some barking, growling, and threatening, to speed things up so you can get back to your accustomed lifestyle!

Hang in there Friend. We feel your pain...........

Myndi and Sparky, thank you so much for your support of my situation and willingness to help! Of course, you know I think of you as honorary kitties! I tried to take your advice to heart, but in a different way. You see, Unca Jimmy is a real softie, so I brought him my mousie. He threw mousie down the basement steps (of course, this is the mousie that's made for that, not my "special" mousie), and I did this about every five minutes. Unca Jimmy kept this up all day; he didn't know I was secretly supervising. As far as doggies, we have Buddy across the way, but he's not allowed to come over and bark.

Next time I find out about this type of thing I'll be sure and give you two a call! Thanks!!!

Love ya!

Oh poor Pinot! It is just TERRIBLE when strangers are allowed into the house. I really don't know why our purrsons allow that.
So glad you can escape to the catmobile.
See you soon!
