Who's the Boss?

 Mom said to a friend that she turned her back...couldn't have been more than 20 seconds, and I got into the chair she had just vacated.  That would be the glider rocker.  She saw me start a detailed bath..and when that was finished I had a long long nap.

Mom will never stop me,  or ask that I leave anywhere I settle. She just goes to another place to sit.  Her fave is the red rocker if she is going to read.  Well, MY fave is the red rocker too!  

Yesterday, she only was gone for a few hours, so, on her return, she waited for me to get out of her chair. A long time later, I did.  She sat in it, and I hopped up onto her lap.  Her toes (she and I are always barefoot in the house as the carpet is light colored and it sure saves on carpet cleaning bills) as I was scratching...her toes made the rocker move maybe an inch, no more than two inches forward, and backward, so therefore, I commenced to rocking.  I love being rocked.  Always have.  But that forced her to have to stay seated a good two hours.  When I got down, we attended to our duties for a moment or two and I hurried to the rocker before she could-- and  I had it again for a long sleep. 

Ah, life is good.

Happy Girl

 Kitties!  I am a happy girl.  Look what returned to the house after several years absence.  Momma gave it to a pastor and his wife that were expecting a baby!  She never knew how much she would miss it until it was gone.  

They are finished with it as it was for the momma to rock the baby.  When I layed in mom's lap back when we had the rocker, she very slightly rocked me while I was there.  Yesterday when I hopped up on mom, she faintly rocked the glider rocker and I settled right down for some more. 

Here I am after she got up.  Happy girl, or what?

My Fave Room

 Kitties!  This shown in the picture is my favorite room of all.  This is where I get brushies as I monorail on the tub edge.  Mom has a buncha brushies and combs that are just mine.  

There's a human hair brush, a wonderful light thingy that mom calls a rake with small thin tines slightly curved.  Takes a whole cat outta my furs.  There's a cat comb, with various height teeth in it. There's a zoom Groom, a slicker (I don't like it) and a human rat tail (YES!!) comb. 


waiting for brushies! 


Recovering from all the brushies
I go to the spare bedroom and wait on the bed for any of my brothers to come and snuggle with me. 
Mom said she just saw furs on the edge of the bed to the right.  !!!

Exam

Kitties! My yearly exam is coming up in just over a week. It is always horrible as mom can't give me the gabapentin to calm me before all the sticking and prodding starts.  So I have to get there 2 hours earlier so as to get the meds and hope it takes effect.

Mom and I are always worried about the blood tests.  So far they have been alright, but I am 15 now.  We worry about KD and thyroid issues.  To do the TMI thing, my pee's are right on in number...so no excessive drinking. ...three a day. and my 'other' product is right on too.  One, very well-made one.  No boy cats are allowed to read that.  

My three-year shots are expired now so I get to have that and whatever else.  Think sweet thoughts about me, please.  

I seem alright.  I am very into being with Mom, and of course I sleep with her at night.  I have slowed down quite a bit, and I sleep a lot during the day.  I eat well, no more than I should- but I am rounded.  Lack of enough exercise.  You can bring the wands, balls, and mice to the cat but you can't make the cat play.  Mom says that.  I was born without the red dot gene.  Doesn't mean a thing to me.  Admiral didn't care about it either. 

Well Kitties, Mom is about to abandon me so she can watch the old series of Texas Rangers.  She said after watching several series re-boots through the years, they were never appealing to her at all.  She said she heard there was one of the Texas Rangers.  There will always be Chuck Norris in her wee brain.  No one else will do.  

Meow, Kitties...see you later maybe.

Hopping On By

 Kitties, I know I'm here meowing too much as it is but wanted to participate in the Selfie Sunday again.  I have been doing that fairly often.   Thought I would come by your place for a minute on my way to the next one.. just to chew the catnip and stuffs...you know. 


I just came back from Canada visit with Kozmo. 💘 Hopped into my box to ruminate about it. 


My Brother in NC sent me this- and I am using it against Mom! 

Let's Hop!

What We Put Up With

 Kitties.  Mom was in here prancing and wouldn't stop.  I was hoping she'd go to the track but she didn't and stayed at home in MY office and had music going fairly loudly and she was all OVER the room.  Here was my reply!





Later when the noise mercifully stopped, I went into my think beddie to recover.  She drank 24 oz. of lemonade.  All at once.  I closed my eyes and ears.  It's a fearful thing seeing her galoomping all over my office.  How rude.

Extravaganza

 Kitties!  I have had plentifurrous brushies, Zoomies, and combings.  And a kitty wipe after to catch stray furs that the human hair brush didn't get.  What a lucky Ladycat I am!  Mom even deferred her own grooming time today, and once last week, to get mine done first.  She always likes to "gitter done", but instead of my grooming after hers, sometimes she heads straight out the door.  That isn't right. 

I laid a guilt trip on her the last several weeks and it's working.  Felt like laying a bitey on her! 

Now here I am again, enjoying a sun puddle between chairs.  I have lots of spacious nesting spots but I seem to have settled for here instead.  At least for now.  




This was yesterday.  It's raining again today.  SIGH. But mom had the best day yesterday.  She headed out in the cold (she likes the cold) and sun to the track and did her thing round and round listening to her iPhone's music this time! She came back happy as a clam, though I don't know why they are happy all the time. Go figure...and me...I got ANOTHER brushie with the human hair brush anyway.
