The Week That Was

This week was very exciting for us, even though Oscar is still a little baby, sucking on all of the clothes that the humans leave lying around, and even the clothes that they are wearing. It was exciting for us because we received a new house! It is a very big house, almost like a tree without all of the leaves and small branches, but it is not so big that it cannot fit easily into the human’s house and still leave us with plenty of room to play.

We have only played on it very briefly, as there were problems during construction that the humans were able to fix after they were gone for a long time today. We cannot wait to spend more time exploring and playing with it. They also brought us a strange water faucet that sits on the floor. The water now tastes very good, but I wish they would move into the big room with the soft floor; the ambiance is so much better in there than in the food room.

As I write this, that little bat brother of mine is begging for food. His food philosophy is that what is yours is mine and what is mine is mine. The humans feed us all very well, but he wants to taste anything and everything the world has to offer. I wish I could do that but after all a girl needs to watch her figure.

Ugh, do any of you have a sister like mine? Sheesh, this is from a girl that almost made the humans late for work because she was scared to come out of a tree. I am happy that I do not have her habit of crawling under the human’s blankets at night and licking their feet. Sigh. She left out the best thing that happened to me; I got to ride in a car in a trip that did not involve the lady with the cold thing in my butt or moving. The wheeled animal they ride in was so soft everywhere, it was a shame that it ended so soon!

Oscar, you drove 100 feet…that is not a big deal to the readers out there. I like to lick the humans, and your butt for that matter, because I like the human or cat I am going to snuggle next to as clean as possible. At least you are getting better covering your brownies.

Thunder and Lightning

Oscar is such a little baby. Not too many nights ago, the silence of the night was broken up by many flashes of light followed by the sound of loud crashes. We both got up to investigate what was all happening; at least that is what I thought. It turns out that I went to investigate this on my own as Oscar jumped into the sleeping place of our humans. After the third loud crash made the house shake, I quickly joined him to see if the humans could make stop whatever was going on. What I found when I got there was very alarming to me. The kitten that insisted he was a grown up, a protector, and a hunter was, um, sucking on the smaller human’s shirt as if he was trying to get mama’s milk. Her shirt was very wet by the time I had arrived there.

Quiet, Olivia, you have no idea what you are talking about. I ran to the humans to make sure that they were safe and not scared. I thought that this woman was scared, so I started lick and knead her.

Yes, sure you were Oscar, sure you were. Do you remember the first time these noises happened? You jumped in the air and sprayed your pee while airborne. You are still a little baby…I even have to clean both you and the litter box after you use it.

This is coming from a kitten who is too scared to come down from the tree when she climbs it? Who is the first kitten to leave the yard? I am. You have never even set foot in the area behind the house. As far as the peeing in the air thing, it felt as if the world exploded around us when that noise was made, and you ran and hid under the bed afterwards. That was a scary night for all of us, since both of the humans were also very scared most of the night.

The thing about Olivia is that she is part sister, part mother, and part housekeeper. She cleans everything, and I mean everything. I will be in the litter box, playing in the sand after making some brownies, and she comes along to cover it all up so that I cannot play anymore. To add insult to injury, she then licks my butt, and blames me for her bad breath. This sister of mine is a piece of work.

Oscar, I would not have to clean up after you if you covered your “brownies” like a normal cat. The whole world knows when you make brownies; I have seen birds fall from the sky because of you making brownies.

Other than the issues that bug us so much, we are enjoying our time here very much. Even this big cat, the one they call “Paw”, is hissing at us less and less every day. When she does hiss, it is usually Oscar’s fault for chasing her or playing with her tail. The humans take us outside at least once a day to play, but we are growing anxious to begin climbing some of the bigger trees. Each time we try, the humans quickly pick us up and bring us back to the bushes. One day those trees will be ours.
