The Boy Cat with the You-Know-Whats came back again. I noticed something about him–he wears a bell! I suppose that will keep him from sneaking up on the ledge outside our window to gawk at my sisters or chasing after my bird friends, but a bell.
It was pretty sunny and warm all weekend and Mom opened windows for us. It was so nice to get fresh air and talk directly to all my bird pals. I also helped Mom put together a mission-style bench for the front porch but she wouldn't let me help paint it. I don't know why, though. I'm very good with paint.
Mom was home all weekend because she said the cat converter or something in her car broke. I hope that part does something like turn dogs into cats and not cats into something else. Anyway, she's not able to get it fixed until Monday. So all the time she would have gone to Lowe's or the grocery store or who knows where else we spent napping. We napped a bunch! She said she was kind of tired anyway because the absolute moment there's a bit of light in the sky my bro goes off like a rooster. Except he does this fur-raising howl that wakes ALL of us up. And really, what is the point in that?
It's always fun when you can howl and wake everyone up. Unless it's me. Then it's just not nice.
ReplyDeleteI wear a bell too, but it's not for goin' outside,it's so that the humans can find me at all times. I don't know why they feel the need to keep track of me that much. Oh wait, maybe its because I get into everything. Oh yeah, almost forgotted, I helped the mom with some paintin' this weekend and left dirty little footprints in the almost dry paint. Even with a bell I'm still a sneaky black cat.
ReplyDeleteThe howling thing is all about control--and I should know! I'm constantly reminding everyone at our house who the boss is!
ReplyDeleteA bell, huh . . . we always make our people take the bell off our collars when we get new ones.
ReplyDeletemy poopy sister wears a bell to warn the birds. maybe Eddie is part rooster??
ReplyDeleteHope your mama's cat converter is a nice thing! Turn woofies into cats!
ReplyDeleteI am not allowed to be around paint. And ANY collar I get I lose!
Mama gave up on getting me collars a long time ago....
I hope I didn't offend anyone who's forced to wear a bell. I did give this possibility some thought before I put this out there...but I just thought the combination of the bell with the hoo-has seemed kind of silly. And certainly un-hoo-ha like.
ReplyDeleteI wear a bell too, but not for outside, but because it is on a hemp collar that my Aunty Mary made especially for me. ~Merlin
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be to warn the outside lady cats that he is nearby so they can run. Mom says she'd go nuts if we had bells on our collars and heard all that tinkling all day. But she is sensitive to noise....
ReplyDeleteWhen I wake the parents up, first I do a little nudge and coo thing, then if that doesnt get a response I get louder and lick their eybrows. When all else fails, I give out a few "lady-like" yowls...Nobody should sleep after the sun is up anyway.....
ReplyDeleteI wears a bell, but Bonnie doesn't. I don know why. Seems like she always knows when I'm comin.
ReplyDeleteBonnie howls by the litter box sumtimes, but I don know why.
No wonder I'm curious - I don't know why lots of stuff!
