First thing in the morning...

Stygia: What do you do first thing in the morning? Ms. C was kind enough to rise early and open the window for me so I can catch all the beautiful scents in the air, hear the birds clearly, and see what's moving. I have to keep an eye on my neighborhood!

As you can see, Abby chooses to sleep in. Isn't she lazy? I could reach down and whap her from where I sit, but I have better things to do right now, obviously!

Abby: Zzzzzzzz........zzzz........

Who Goes There?

Stygia: Who goes there, in our yard? Do you see what I see?

Do you see??
Do you?!
What in the world?!


Maybe this will help you see:


Abby: I'm just gonna stay here and guard the tub with my scared tail! Ok?

Starting Early

Abby: We started this morning an hour before the people were ready to get up. After all, they may have reset their clocks, but they did not reset US. So we ran around madly, chasing each other, for an hour before their alarm went off.

As you can see, I have already returned to one of my favorite activities, being Ms. C's Chair Vulture. It's a very comfortable position, and of course from this spot I can see everything she does. Which is important, because she could be ready to be giving me tuna at any time. Right?


Stygia: As soon as the sun starts coming in our windows, you know where to find me. Until then, I will be curled up in my own chair next to Ms. C.


Look at this, Ms. C caught us on the couch together! I know some of you didn't believe me the other day when I called Abby "goofy," but just LOOK at her pose in the window. That's goofy.

Sunday Cats

Stygia: Ms. C is going to have a very busy day today, and so will we. There are so many important things for cats to do on sundays. I think I will spend a great deal of it in the sunny window, keeping track of things. Sometimes I even see Other Cats outside!


Abby: Look at this great spot! Ms. C set this chair up for me right next to her own at her desk, and it's positioned so I can get maximum sunbathing.


Do you like this closeup of my beard and bellyfluff?


Stygia: I have a great idea. I am going to spend a lot of time sitting on Ms. C's desk. From here, I can see all that she does and I can know where Abby is, too. Abby fills me with suspicion. I might even plot to chase Abby as I gaze upon everything.

Distractions

When I am in the window, sometimes I get distracted from my important job of watching what's going on outside. So Ms. C says. I say I am just multitasking, but she says she has evidence. I argue it is not conclusive. There is reasonable doubt. What do you think?

Kill, Recharge, Repeat

I have been performing my job well, Ms. C says. Of course I have! She is pleased that I finally made use of my litterbox, but I have much more important things to attend to. Like killing the paper grocery-bag from both inside and outside, with the help of my little fuzzy mouse.

The bag must be landed on, bitten, whapped (several times each) and once it's thoroughly intimidated, I take my little mouse inside and go crazy in there to complete the task. Once that has been accomplished, well, I need to recharge for my next round. I even fall asleep in the bag. You never know, it could become unruly and I need to be right there when it happens.
