What have we done?

Stygia: What?


Abby: Yes, what?


What have we done to deserve this?

Clear Evidence . . . and Awards!

Stygia: First of all, we'd like to thank our friends at The Poupounette and Ramses Meowings for our first award of the new year! How beautiful it is to have friends. We love making new friends, and sometimes friends are lost for one reason or another, but friends are always in the heart!

We are going to pass this award on to Niko and Cloud of Cats in Maryland and to Whicky Whuddler and his family at Everycat. By the way, Ms. C is ashamed to admit that when she tried to remodel the blog, she lost track of last year's awards. She is still hoping at some point she can discover a way to resurrect them, but if not we shall start afresh with the friends award!

And now I have something far more serious to report. You can see that I am very serious, yes?

She . . . I mean Abby Normal, has finally been captured wet-pawed doing that thing she thinks she is doing secretly!!! She does it in her water-bowl, and now she has even started doing it in Ms. C's water-cup, as you can see here! In case you cannot tell what she is doing, she dips her paw repeatedly in her bowl or the glass and licks it off. I just can't understand this behavior, so I can understand why she wanted to keep it a secret, and why she stops when she thinks Ms. C or anyone else is looking. But now we have PROOF.

Nevertheless, we still love her even if she is a sneaky little adolescent type of girl, because she is just so cute. And I appreciate that she bathes my head and ears for me. I have only just started giving her a tentative lick from time to time. Maybe when she calms down a bit in a year or so, I will be able to return the favor.

At least we can calmly share the couch together. We like it that our humans cover it with all kinds of comfy blankets for us to snuggle around.

Threatening Tabbies

Dear Ms. C,

This is an open letter to you, wherever you are.  

You see, we understand that you have important things to do this weekend. Things that do not include us. However, we had no idea that it was going to take you an entire day.  In fact, it's been almost 24 hours now, and we have seen neither hide nor hair of you.  

Dearest Ms. C, we very respectfully request that you return to your home and your chair as soon as humanly possible.  Yes, we know you are not a cat, you may not move with the speed or perfection of we of the feline family, but we are counting on your abilities.

In fact, if you do not return pretty much immediately, we are going to erupt into chaos!!!!  We will scratch and bunnY kicK every piece of furniture, we will open your drawers and shred open the catnip bag and eat it all, we will spill our food all over the kitchen floor and drag kitty litter all over the house!  WE MEAN BUSINESS!

(whispers)  ... we miss you. Get home safely.

Love,

Abby Normal
