Home invaders of a mysterious kind!

It was a quiet morning, the rain had finally stopped outside, the sun was back out and warming my fur through the bedroom window. There I was, curled up like a hot bun against my favorite pillow, buried in the fold of my favorite blanket when suddenly a loud banging had sounded on the door in the main room. Until that moment, I thought the highest I could jump was 4 feet or so but I believe I reached a new height today!

I went running towards the door and reached halfway before I realized how serious the situation really was. I fluffed my tail in warning, and I arched my back in preparation for the worst when suddenly mommy picked me up in a hurry and shut me away in the bathroom - for safety? I worried for mommy the whole time I was locked in there! Could she have been expecting this invasion? She locked me in the bathroom yesterday too!

I heard the suction of the main door opening and I heard 4 low strange voices talking loudly and coming closer with heavy footsteps! I cried for mommy to let me protect her but she wouldn't let me out! I hid myself well in the dark as I heard one voice came just outside the bathroom door. I heard the clanking sound of metal objects hitting together, some echoing banging at the highest point of the room, and some robotic whirring sounds and just a few moments later it was gone.

I sat there in the dark, curled behind the human litter bowl until I heard only mommy's voice outside the door. Once I knew it was safe, I kept my guard up and explored the damage. A new beepy thing on the cieling, and a mess of hard copper threads found it's way to the floor. I saw dark markings left with each step of these strangers. How dare they invade my home like this! Whats worst of all is, I could do nothing to protect my territory. Next time, I'll be better prepared!

All through the evening I heard those voices and banging noises outside. Being trapped outside they must have lost interest and eventually left. I don't think they will be coming back into my home anytime soon, if they do I'll be ready!

My very own monkey!

Today must have been a special day for mommy cuz she was happy all day! Who - or what - is Annie versary? She was singing to herself in spite of my requests for her to stop. Seriously, how is a kitty to get any beauty sleep with so much noise? I guess she couldn't hear me mumbling my annoyed meow.

Anyway, she went out to buy me some new food and goodies today, but when she came back I discovered a new scent I've never known before. Within moments I was tracking the delicious scent of some sweet herbal smell. It was irrestistable! Strangely enough, my nose decieved me because what ended up being the end of the scent trail was a stuffed brown monkey at the end of a very short rope attached to a stick.

Normally I let things go and move on to other exciting things until I'm too bored to sit straight. However, this monkey intrigued me so much I could not let it go. I was very sure that a monkey cannot smell like this, but every time I left it alone to find the scent trail again I was led back to this little brown lump of fur. I tasted it, I rubbed my face in it, and whatever it was I couldnt get enough of this delicious smell!

Alone, this brown lump of fuzz would be fun to toss, but this was just too tasty to let go of. I spent a good long moment tasting it, rubbing in it, and tossing it around. This is not like me! I lost all control of myself all for a smell I could not resist. I followed mommy around as usual, she was keeping busy all day, but she laughed at me when I carried my prized posession in my mouth as I followed her. I know I must look silly with this heavy monkey in my mouth, it simply did not fit well so my cheeks had to work overtime - and the string and stick kept tripping me so I had to hold my head really high. It was not an easy task, but I was not about to leave this treasure behind for a minute.

Mommy caught my embarassing situation on camera here. So I goofed up and messed up the catch but what's a girl to do?

Is it the soft belly of the monkey that I like? Or is it simply the way it smells that draws me in? Whatever the case, I love it!

Mommy's favorite yarn

There's one thing I've come to understand, mommy does not like anyone playing with her yarn in the closet. I cannot play with any yarn that is in the fabric hanging shelves, I cannot play with any yarn that fell on the ground anywhere, and I cannot play with any yarn that I pull out of her bag. But lately I noticed that she has been playing alot with her own favorite yarn that she leaves on the couch. She plays with two sticks as well as this certain type of yarn. Why is it okay if SHE plays with it?

I decided to try tossing this yarn around today while I was home alone this morning. Mommy would be out doing her exercise for a long time so maybe she wouldn't ever know that I touched it. I pat it around for a while but it didn't roll like the others. I dragged it around but the sticks kept catching on things and it wouldn't let me pull anymore. I got bored and left the yarn in the bedroom for later.

Mommy came home and didn't seem to notice her favorite yarn and sticks had moved, or was it that she didn't mind me playing with it?

As usual mommy went straight to her computer to work, and as usual I did what I could to steal a few minutes of playtime. But after hours of begging mommy to play with MY toys, I decided to bring a toy we both enjoy. I grabbed the yarn ball from the bedroom and dragged it right to her feet. She still didn't seem to notice me at all. I cried and cried for her to play with me and throw the new toy I brought for BOTH of us to have fun with. Finally, a few minutes later, she noticed my new toy but rather than throw it like I had hoped, she took it away and put both the sticks in the yarn! How can she turn away a perfectly good toy like this one? I guess I'll never understand.

Normally she'd get mad at me, but today she laughed at me for bringing her favorite yarn to play with. Though we didn't play with her yarn and sticks, I did manage to get a few minutes of her attention with my good ol' silent chirpy toy! It all worked out for me after all!

A surprise snack

This morning I saw mommy playing with the two fish bowls and I still don't see what is so exciting about watching these little creatures eat, but I managed to climb on the exercise machine to get a closer peek with mommy as she watched them closely.

Sometime later, mommy and daddy were resting on the couch watching a scary movie I was not interested in, so I went to explore the kitchen area and see if I can find any hidden snacks on the floor or counter top. Somehow, in my exploration I found mommys favorite fish just sitting on the counter top not moving! Could it be that she prepared a little snack for me? Maybe that is why she likes to watch them eat! She wants to be sure they are getting fat enough for me to eat!

I devoured the fish that mommy called "Lady Love" - an overly elaborate name for a fish if you asked me - but I did not feel much satisfaction from this snack. It did not even dent my appetite, and it was rather tangy! It was hardly worth forcing the fins down my throat, but at least now I know what a fresh betta fish tastes like.

A few hours later, mommy went to fix herself some food and looked in the bowl to see her precious fish but it was not there - big surprise, heh. What confuses me is, she is blaming ME for the missing fish, but I didn't take it out of it's bowl, I found it on the counter! I promise! Could it be that maybe it wasn't a snack left out for me after all?

Reaching the peep hole

Today was a little colder than it has been lately, not quite as stormy as last night but there was enough rain to keep a purring sound outside. Needless to say I slept peacefully all day while mommy worked at her computer desk and daddy was out at work as usual. When mommy left to bring daddy back I sat by the door in anticipation but as I stared up at it, waiting for it to open, I noticed a black spot somewhere close to the top!

Now, I've seen flies before. I've captured a few and examined them closely and this black spot was no fly at all. You may ask how I know this if I'm so close to the ground while the spot is so high up for me to see clearly. Well to you I answer... I examined it.

Yes, I got a very close and thorough examination of this little black spot five and a half feet up from where I sit on the doormat. Yes, it's true I gathered the results of my examination in fragments during the time I was airborne from a rather strenuous leap before falling back to the ground. Sometimes my landing was a bit off and I'd roll a bit but it was well worth it!

In every moment that I was able to reach the height of the black spot I was able to gather more and more information about this little thing:

1 - It does not move. At least not by my paw.
2 - It is not a spot but a hole.
3 - I cannot bite it.
4 - I can see through it!

You can imagine my excitement in my new discovery today! I am now able to peek out through the hole in fractions of a second at a time! At least for as long as I can keep jumping up to see it.

When mommy and daddy came home I continued my research and kept leaping up to peek through the hole for as long as I could. Sure they laughed at me, and yes.. mommy got it on tape too! Now you too can see how awesome my new discovery is!

My own pet!

Today was my first chance to get a glimpse of what it is like to keep a pet! You might think it's silly for a kitten like me to be given such a big responsibility, but hey! I'm over 18 months old now, I'm a big girl! Besides, it's only a digital pet.. and if you want to even YOU can play with it!

Here's how it happened - this morning mommy showed me a really pretty flashy page that Mrs Debbie sent to her computer, and I saw some cute creatures living on her screen! I waved my paw at it every time the creatures showed up. I was really only expecting to touch it but mommy actually adopted this creature and told me it was my own! It was a baby dragon with blue wings! I named her Sephira, like the dragon I saw before in the tv. I sure hope she doesn't grow to be as big as that one though!

This will be a big responsibility for me. I have to make sure she gets food, I need to tickle her cuz it makes her happy, and unlike me Sephira does not clean herself so I have to bathe her too. On top of that, she gets to have fun with her own friends too! Right now I am her only friend, but if you'd like to meet her you can see her in her home!
