Greedy Ways

Ms C: There is a very special time of day in our household; it happens every day at about 6pm. It's known as "Cat Time." For at least an hour beforehand, Abby campaigns avidly to remind me that it is almost Cat Time.

What is Cat Time? It's simple. Cat Time is tuna time for Abby and treats time for Stygia (who doesn't like wet food). Stygia enjoys and appreciates her temptations, but the one who really sets into her food with fervor is Abby:




Ahhhh, besides Cat Time, there is nothing quite like a big stretch in the sun! We hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.

A Hovercat

Abby: Ever since Ms. C saw these pictures of Hovercat, she has been longing for a hovercat of her very own. As you may have guessed, she is rather easily entertained but I, I am not! However, we did come to an agreement. I will hover for food:


Ahhh, yes. That was satisfying. It is very hard for me to stay still for very long, you know. I even noisily gobble down that tuna as quickly as I can, not only because it is so tasty, but also because those moments I have my face in the food bowl are moments I cannot keep track of everything else going on in the household.

I am coming to really like Stygia. I even calmed down for about 10 seconds the other day to wash between her ears for her, although she has not yet done the same for me yet.

Ms. C gives her these little treat-thingies called "Tasty chicken flavor" temptations. I have never been interested in any treats of any flavor, not even tuna ones, but Stygia will eat any of them. So, I decided I better check it out. I waited for an opportune Styggie-getting-treats moment, and then I barged in. And I ate them all. I am sorry if it was rude, it was important. Now, as soon as I hear the cracking of the treats bag, I come running, and I politely eat one of them, even though I really don't like the way they taste. It's the polite thing to do!

If We Were Authors, Part 1...

Abby: Cats can and should be able to do just about anything. That's always been my philosophy. I haven't published a novel yet, but I like to imagine that someday I will be, and that the book would be something like this (biggify for best results!):




It's a subject that I -- heck, probably all of us! -- feel very strongly about. No matter what flavor of treat you prefer, it's a vital part of every day! Tomorrow Stygia will present her own book cover.
