Big Day for Styx

Styx: Ms. C says I must be ready for my Big Day tomorrow. I have heard so much about how I'm going to be "so much happier" afterwards, but already I am not sure. She put the food bowls away at 6pm. What could this mean?

Styx: Don't I look like a good cat?

I don't know what is going to happen. But I'm not going to let that stop the fun! I have found new places to hide that confuse the humans. I ambush the other cats any time I can. I want them to PLAY with me!!

Mr. R says I have to learn proper use of my claws. Which means not using them. I am trying to learn, but I am a hunter and I need to use them when I go after voles and toy mice. Ms. R thinks I need a scratching post, but I don't even scratch at the couch. Maybe he is right though, a different texture might be nice to scratch.

Abby: Can you see what I am getting into? Mmmm.... I bet it won't take you long to guess!

I love it so much, I love everything, I love this sweater I am hugging. My claws slide in and out as I hug it, rub my chin on it, and roll on it as best I can. Somehow this table seems a lot smaller than it did when they adopted me last June and I weight 5.5 pounds instead of 11 pounds.


I am inspired to go down to visit Mr. R, who is arranging things in this box. It definitely needs the BITEY!

I don't think I'm the only one getting into the 'nip, either!

Tabby Trouble

Ms. C: There were no photographs to record the event. In fact, by the nature of the beast, it all happened behind my back. It's been quite some time since my ponytail has been the subject of a cattack, so I was quite surprised and jumped forward in my chair a little when it happened. However, Mr. R was a witness to the whole event, and here are the results as he reported them to me:

The Attractive Ponytail

Silly Abby got her claws stuck in my chair, and when I leaned forward in my rocky chair, she was fully lifted off of the floor, left to dangle with her belly pushing forward! You know what? I think she got what she deserved.

New Year's Eve

Abby: We are here to report about our doings over the past few days -- Ms. C and Mr. R left us alone to go visit Mr. R's mom! Indignant as we tried to be, how can we argue with anyone visiting their mom? We just can't.

Anyway, Ms. C says while she was there, she met Mr. R's mom's D-O-G, and (here is the part we cannot understand) it took a disliking to her. This part-chihuahua/part-terrier named Kokomo does not like much of anyone except Mr. R's mom! In fact, it disliked Ms. C so much that it launched itself at her right calf four different times and BIT her! So we are sad to report that yes, there are some mean dogs in the world, because we think anyone is mean who does not love our mom.

Stygia: Now while the rest of you are relaxing happily in anticipation of the new year, we are celebrating it in our usual playful fashion:

I try to defend with the stop, drop, and kick technique, but I forgot that it rarely stops Abby from trying to get a bite in on my foot anyway:

She is not a very fair cat! My previous owners declawed me, and look what she does?! However, we are sisters, and it is more of a "menacing" technique. She never hurts me.

Happy New Year to everyone!!

PS. When we updated our template, we somehow deleted our widgets including our favorite blogs lists! Ms. C is so silly to do that. She is working to find all of our favorites as soon as she can.

Silly on Sunday

Stygia: Abby, it's not nice to use your claws on me like that!


Abby: I'm just showing them to you. I'm not actually going to use them on you, ok?! Mmmm, but I am going to use them on this catnip mouse. I looooove this mouse!

Look how cute my little whisker dots are!!

Stygia: She wears me out! I think I'm going to go have a nap up here in the sun. That's what we are supposed to do on Sundays, Abby. Relax.


Abby: It's never going to last! Just in case you wonder, I'm the one who attacks first!

Stygia: Yeah, but look what happens when you look away! Hehehe!
