Dog Therapy

Litter Box visits: 12 (new litter, and it's de-lightful!)
Escape attempts: 2 (1 successful! Auntie DeAnna, wasn't paying attention)

The dog is going to need extensive psychological therapy. We are getting roommates. If it was just two humans I think she'd be fine, but we're getting a human AND a dog. The new dog is also a puppy, not quite a year. New Dog isn't quite smart enough to know when to back off. New Dog doesn't know that it's a bad thing to steal Faceless Faith (the Dog's favorite toy...more on F.F. later). The New Dog doesn't know NOT to walk near the Dog when she has a treat within a five foot radius, regardless if she wants to eat it or not. It wasn't pretty. There were multiple altercations while they were here visiting. Us cats pretty much ignore her hissy fits. The New Dog screamed right back at her. There was a lot of growling, moping, and showing of teeth. I'd offer the Dog a therapy session or two for free, but I don't think I can fit her under the sink. Not that she'd even go in there; she's afraid of air for god's sake!  Maybe I'll offer sofa therapy.

I think there is going to be a significant adjustment period. Why can't we all just get along?

Here I am trying to talk her out of moping

New Years Resolutions

Litter Box Visits: 10 (dog isn't eating much of her food)
Escape Attempts: 0

I am an evolved cat. During one of my deep meditative sessions this past week (in the litter box) I decided to move further down my path of enlightenment. To do this, it is always best to strive for personal improvement. Setting goals is one way to do this. Since it's a new decade, it's a good time to document my resolutions for all to see; I'll be more accountable this way:

1. Avoid dog when she has her toy or a treat nearby.
2. Determine alternate escape route from house.
3. Limit dog food consumption to .25 cups per day
4. Limit counter surfing to hours of 2-6 AM.
5. Improve cabinet opening skills
6. Learn to turn on water in sink
7. Limit Faith ass-kicking to 1-2 times per week 3 MAX!
8. Encourage human to eat more tuna.

MEDITATION is the key to enlightenment

Holidays Are Over

Dear readers I apologize for being MIA, its been a busy season for me. House cats have quite a lot to do during the holidays. There are trees to climb, ribbons to chew, swallow and travel (ahem) through your digestive track, there are shiny cat toys hanging from the tree to swat and chase around the house, there are a plethora of new delicacies to try! My favorite item has been brown, sweet-smelling kibble wrapped up in foil. It's sorta shaped like the stupid elf hat the human makes me wear this time of year. I removed several from table and shared with Muffin. Not sure what the problem was but the human temporarily changed my name to "godamned Yeti" when she saw the foil. Hmmm.




There also seems to be many new boxes to jump in and out of. Scares the dog, so what else is new? The human tried to put reindeer ears on Kabuki, but they slipped around her neck and she freaked out. She ran under the bed yelling about giant winged creatures attacking her head. She's a total drama queen. The human had to trap her to remove them. That cat seriously needs a valium. The human found a Santa beard AND hat for cats...why she has to torture me with these "outfits" I do not know.

At least I get to eat interesting things in exchange for her dress up time (the woman needs some dolls or kids). Human has no idea how many times I did some paw dips into the eggnog. Payback's a bitch and his name is YETI.
