Well, hello all. You aren't really used to hearing from me (although I must say that you are lucky to do so right now as I am THE most special cat in this house). I thought I might be able to sneak over to the computer while Achilles (my own personal HEEL if you know what I mean) is distracted by the new cat bed. He SO picks on me and blows up that silly tail of his to three times its normal size. I am NOT scared! I only run and screech to make JJ come to protect me and then pet me (which she always does).

JJ says the other cats pick on me because I am a bee-atch. Humph. As if I don't deserve to be!! As special as I am they should be glad they get to live in the same house with me!

Yesterday, JJ worked with her friend in the basement -- it was A., another cat-lady (or cat-zilla as KP calls them) who came to help her. They went in A's truck and got rolls and rolls of pink stuff and poked it up in the ceiling of the basement. Now what on earth for? AND, they wouldn't even leave any of it out for us to investigate!! Really, humans are just totally stupid. Personally, I think the best way to spend Saturday afternoon is asleep on the top of the closet in JJ's clothes room (JJ has, of course, left several flannel shirts and a jacket up there for me to sleep on). AAAHHHH, I can let my leg hang off the side, just like the prima donna I am!!

Another thing I like to do is ask to go out. JJ started letting me go outside a little bit because all of the other cats picked on me -- and also because I would stand at the door and yowl and swat at her when she wouldn't let me -- First, I wait till JJ has sat down for a rest on the couch, maybe she is watching some TV SO I go and start pawing the blinds really hard, like I am going to tear them down. Finally, JJ will get up and let me out the door -- of course, I meowrreek for good measure as she does so. THEN, I wait a little while -- maybe JJ will go to the kitchen while she is up or do something else, THEN, just after she sits down again, leans back and let's one of the cheewawas snuggle up, I start pawing on the window - PAW,PAW,PAW,PAW,PAW,PAW, -- I just keep doing it till she gets up and let's me in. Then, I wait about 30 minutes and do it all over again. What fun!

Well, it is TOO COLD to play that game tonight! I do not like to get my whiskers the least bit cold -- although I DID walk on the "snow" the other day -- I am SO brave. Oh, I am just THE best cat ever!! I think I shall go and think about how wonderful I am -- and sleep on the top of the closet.
