Happy Easter Everybody!
We're happy today over at JJ's house. We don't really know why, We're just happy.
Well, actually, one thing that we are VERY, VERY happy about is that Jinx(sh) seems
to be feeling fine! She says she feels good and that, once again, she LOVES eating. JJ says that she thinks Jinx(sh) got sick
from one of the shots we had to get when Achilles came to live with us. We were so worried that she had a bad disease that
comes and goes and makes a cat so sick it cannot live... but Jinx(sh) has not been sick in a LONG time and she is maintaining
her fatness pretty well. (Hey do you think she would get mad if we called her "Her Fatness" instead of "Her Majesty".)
She still gets awfully mad at JJ whenever she has to catch her and do something to her (or, horrors,
put her in the travelling box) -- in fact, she almost took JJ's leg off when we all got that stuff put on our necks
last week. When it is hot enough to open the windows -- or to have the cold air blowing out instead of warm -- JJ puts something
on our necks. She says that it is to protect us from flees and tics. Well, I'm not fleeing anywhere because I have got it
way too good right here. And, the closest any one of us has to a tic is when Achilles' little nub twitches (it does that when
his ear itches, so JJ has to scratch it for him). BUT, Jinx(sh) says I am a goober and don't know anything -- that flees and
tics are bugs that bite. Jinx(sh) says sometimes the gray and black cat -- and the cheewawa -- bring these bugs inside and
they go everywhere and make us itch. So, I guess there is a good reason for the stuff on our necks -- but we still don't like
getting caught AND it makes us have a bad taste in our mouthes for awhile. It even makes Achilles DROOL!! No, Achilles I said
DROOL not RULE, you bully, you!!
Sometimes Achilles tries to beat me up. He chases me all over the house. THEN the cheewawa chases
HIM! It scares me when he chases me and, when he traps me I put my ears back and growl scarily at him. He doesn't get scared,
though, only I do. JJ says it is youthful xuberants but I don't know. I think he just likes to be the boss. JJ says it would
be good if we could find Achilles a home where he COULD be the boss and, that he would make a good "only cat" because he wants
LOTS and LOTS of love. She loves Achilles, just like the rest of us, but she doesn't want him to try and boss the big, gray
cat because Lucky, the gray cat, is supposed to be The King. You know what is funny, though? Lucky and Achilles
are both gray tabbies. And, they are both a certain kind of tabby that isn't as common as another kind. JJ says they are CLASSIC
tabbies. Imagine that? I'll bet Lucky doesn't like having anything in common with Achilles!
We keep hearing more about moving to M Street. Ya'll know that we are able to understand your thoughts,
right? Well, to the extent that ya'll are making sense which isn't often. We can tell that JJ is thinking and thinking about
moving us all to M Street and whether we are going to get very upset. There are supposed to LOTS of windows on M Street, but
no big door for the gray cat and Spooky Black Cat to go in and out of. They are going to have to stay inside with the rest
of us. Whoa!! They are gonna be M-A-D at JJ!!
With this new house on M Street and the two biciclettas, JJ has been pretty busy. She says that, next
to hanging out with us, all she wants to do is ride the rosso bicicletta. She will ride the blu bicicletta but it isn't her
favorite. JJ says that she thought working on the house on M Street would be fun because she likes to work hard BUT she says
that, mostly, she has had to go and buy stuff for it and keep track of things and figure stuff out. JJ HATES to shop. Which
we can understand. We hate to shop, too. Except for cat food. And scratching toys. And CATNIP, CATNIP, CATNIP!
I need to go. JJ is going to Aunt M's house so we've got to say goodbye and watch her leave the house
-- and make her feel guilty. Especially the Cheewawa. CheeChee makes her eyes go all big and round and hopeful and she
just sits on the steps and thinks really hard at JJ "Take me with you. Please, please take me with you." JJ says the
Cheewawa throws up in the car so she only gets to go sometimes. Is there something about riding in cars that makes you get
a hairball?
We don't want to go, we are fine right here in OUR house where we know where everything is. We
don't really even want to move to M Street. But if JJ is going, we are too!!
See ya'll, Oregano
