Slaves. Sigh. By Abby So I asked Slave #2 to pick up a Father's Day Card, just to taunt Slave #1. What did she do? She picked up the same card as last year. I'd order her head off if she didn't provide me with Cat Milk in the mornings. 6/20/2010 9:28:00 PM \| Got something to say? (0) \| Permalink
RIP, India By Midnight The first cat has died, at the age of eighteen. India was a black American Shorthair, like me. But unlike me, she lived with some very powerful Humans. Reading through the comments on the story, it's sad that the only expression of sympathy comes from a dog. 1/5/2009 9:09:00 AM \| Got something to say? (0) \| Permalink
A Royal Christmas By Abby Well. You would think the Slaves would do a better job. I didn't even get any food until Slave 1 got out of bed an hour later than Slave 2. I happen to know that this is Christmas, and people sing songs with the word "adore" in it. There's also reference to a King. It must be a holiday for Royalty. I stood under the tree for minutes waiting for the slaves to arrive and honor me with gifts. Instead, they gave boxes to each other. Then Slave 3 went to a large sock hanging over the fireplace and bestowed a gift upon me: Treats. Well. It was about time. Slave 2 ruined a perfectly good bird by cooking it. I condescended to eat some of the meat, but I would have preferred to prepare the bird in my own way. Slave 1 was given a flying thing for My amusement. I have to admit it was fun at first, but when it got close enough to ruffle my fur I left the room. Slave 2 seems to have something to help her with cat pictures. Time to go sleep off the bird. 12/25/2008 3:11:00 PM \| Got something to say? (0) \| Permalink
Meowy, Geeky Catmas! By Midnight I knew today was special because Human Woman was up early. Usually, Human Woman is up half the night, tossing and turning. She says it's her hormones. I wouldn't know as I had that sort of thing taken care of long ago. It helps me be a cool, geeky, cat. When I walked into the kitchen I watched her open the refrigerator and bring out a giant bird! Oh, joy! She cooks giant bird once a year. After she put it in the oven, the house began to smell of cooking bird. It drove me nuts. Human Man got out of bed and fed me some cat food, which is always good because there's a picture of a cat on the package. Abby demands strange foods from the humans, but I prefer food for cats. Finally, they woke Human Boy up by playing a song through his door. The Human Adults thought it was pretty funny. I guess it was. The music didn't involve geeks or cats, so I really didn't pay any attention. Then they all gathered around the tree and started pull paper and ribbon off of boxes and throw the ribbon at me. More joy! I love ribbon. I've been trying for ages to tear the stuff of of the boxes, but with no luck. Then they gave me another gift: a catnip-filled mouse. Betcha I have its tail off before the end of the day. Then the boxes were opened. Geek toys! I'm so happy, I don't know which one to play with first. Oh, the humans are SO nice to me. Finally, the humans sat down to eat. Human Man cut the bird into cat-sized pieces for us. I like dark meat, but after I realized there wasn't a picture of a cat on the bird package, I wasn't as keen on the stuff. Now I'm having fun just staring at the toys. One of them flies, which brings me no end of amusement. There's also one with blinking lights. There's also what looks like a Geek Cat carrier, with room for one cat, six kittens, and a laptop computer. I'll have to check that out. 12/25/2008 2:59:00 PM \| Got something to say?

How humiliating! By Abby The Slaves cooked outside on Friday night - bacon bleu cheese burgers. Do you think they'd give Royalty their Rightful Share? No! To make things worse, they did this!
