CAT TALK (cats only )

[Pinot's Mom]

Miss Princess Pinot Noir Catmobile CoPilot checking in...

I didn't know about this thread! Well, you all know there are so MANY issues with my situation here, but I won't go into that. You all are on the topic of FOOD. I don't get enough. That's just that. I get two meager portions a day and my purrents think that will sustain all I do around here. HMMPH.

Well, is my sweetheart Rocco about? I haven't seen him in a while. Check in!

Purrs,
Pinot

Why does mommy get so mad when I run and jump as high as I can up the kitchen window blinds? Ok, so one of them is missing most of the slats now but it is SOOOOOO fun to swing on them. Can she not understand I have some jungle cat in my family tree?

Hey y'all!
Isn't it frustrating when our humans DO NOT differentiate our "meows"?
When you want them to open the door, they give you food.. When you want some cuddlin', they open the door (and even tell you "go out to play").. When you want them to play with you, they think you want to cuddle.. or eat.. (sigh)

Why did meowmie decide we needed a little brother? Who gave her that crazy idea?! It was so nice here with just Ming and me, and now I got this little bro that I have to keep putting in his place. He's learning, but I really need to talk to my hooman about this violation of my home. Grrrr.

Hi fellow kitties, here's Lily! You won't believe what my Mom did the other day! She took me to the vet, and there, the vet looked into my mouth! Then they decided I should get my teeth cleaned!! Haven't heard anymore about it yet, but I'm sure they're up to something! I don't want that!

Here's Luna! Well, if I may put my two cents in, I wouldn't mind if Lily was sent to the vet's. It would be nice to have the house for myself, at least for a couple of hours. She's always stalking me, you know, she can be such a pain!

Hi fellow kitties!
This is something that has come up before but remains a problem at my house. Does your Meowmie use the vakoom cleaner? The one Meowmie has swallows up everything, even some food I put away for a snack later on. I keep running from room to room so it can't catch me! And that darn thing is so loud! I can't even talk to any of you on my cell phone when Meowmie insists on using it. Do any of you know why our hoomins do this?

Your friend,

Groucho, Kimba here. I had never seen or heard one of those vakooms before and I was so scared. They are loud!! My bros kind of laughed at me, but I noticed that both of them were in the bedroom with me whle our meowmie used that thing in the living room.

Dear Groucho,

Ours was broken for almost a week, so my person couldn't use it. I was so happy! But guess what, she got it fixed. I don't like it because it is very loud, so I hide under the bed when my person takes it out. She tells me when she is done, so I know it is okay to come from under the bed (she doesn't use it under there). She even has a smaller one she uses for the kitchen and bathroom floor. That one isn't quite as loud.

Edited to add: Dear Groucho, could you please tell your meowmie that my person found a better dish for my water. Guess where she got it, my grand-meowmie's house! Silly grand-meowmie says she is not a cat person, but I know better. It is a shallow, wide glass sauce dish that grand-meowmie found at the dollar store. Holds about six ounces of water.

With purrs of thanks,
Cassie

Dear Groucho, my meowm had the vakoom out again today. I reminded her about your post. She got a new one that's not as noisy as the old one, but I still don't like the noise. I have meowm trained to let me know when she is taking it out and when she is putting it away. When she says "Okay, Cassie, I'm getting out the vacuum" I hide under the bed. When I hear her close the linen closet door (that's where the vakoom goes) I come out. I hate the thing. Why does it have to be so noisy anyway?

I heard my meowm sayin purrayers just a little while ago. She said one for Fister who is having some tummy troubles and one for Sparky Dog who is having some breathing problems. And for their people too. We don't like it when our friends aren't feeling well and their humans are worried about them. And for Uncle Catmandu because Pouncierge went to the Bridge. We don't like that happening one bit.

Love,
Cassie
