My Pets came back. (But they are disloyal!)

Well, my pet people came back. But something is up. They are not themselves.

What's worse, they seem to be enslaved to some other pet people. They are now living in a different house down in the basement, and have to come in and out the back door!

I think it's that nice Mr Dave. Now I had always assumed Mr Dave was someone else's pet person, but apparently I was wrong. Maybe my theory of him being half cat may explain why they are keeping my people as pets.

My Pets! HE'S KEEPING MY PETS! Yes, I know one is old & grouchy, but he's still *MY* old & grouchy pet, darn it!

Anyway, I hung out out at Mr Dave's for a while, but this is just t00 weird. I'm not really into sharing pets! My people are going to have to decide if they are going to be Mr Dave's pets or mine. The vet bills on the one are starting to add up, so maybe it's a mixed blessing. (The old one had to make an after hours trip to the emergency vet last week)

So it's back to the secret fiat door bachelor pad for now! Luckily it's not that far, and Mr Dave's house is in the same neighborhood as Princess and her pet people. So I'm here anyway when I prowl.

People! I may decide to get something easier to take care of and more loyal, like a dog!

Homeless!

What a week! First- my people wander off again. Have not seen them for a week. It was bad enough when the little people wandered off, I've gotten over that. But my old ones keep wandering off.

Then, as I'm already worried, the scariest thing happened. Loud boom, bright lights, bad smells. And something was wrong with my house! I tried to peek in the garage where my pets keeps their machines, but all I could see was an old astro van wheel.

I was worried my pets were still inside, but I remembered they had wandered off. Luckily, I had my bachelor pad under the old fiat door out back. So I hung out there for a while.

When I came out, the house was gone!!! As in, nothing left!

So it's back under the fiat doors, and I'll just stay here for a while. Occasionally I'll head over to see Princess, and snag a meal there.

I was kind of tired of that old house anyway.

More bad habits! may have to get different people!

This is getting ridiculous! My people keep wandering off. They'll disappear for days, no word, no note. If I'm lucky I get a loaner person. My favorite one is called Dave. Very tall, and Very old. Has no hair, in fact. But quite smart, sometimes I think he's half cat. Here's a photo of Mr Dave and his Pet. She's even older than Mr Dave, so I don't see her much. Anyway, They were doing something in my back yard one night, so I took this shot:



The only saving grace is that when my pet people do come back, the young pretty one usually invites some of her pet people over. They gather round, and make loud noises at little colored squares of paper. I don't get it. But at least it keeps em around for a while.

I can't expect my pets to be as smart as cats, and it's good to have something to keep them entertained.

My predecessor (RIP)

Bad news: I found out what happened to my predecessor. You know, the one they don't talk about. Coyotes. Yep, as in Wily B.

I had always suspected it might have been something to do with one of my people, the old one. He's never really adjusted to his new cat owner, and I think resents the power we have a bit.

But turns out, it was one of those durned canines! As if poodles were not bad enough, now we have real predators to deal with!

The good news is I've been learning how to deal with them. Found a documentary on TV by this bird:

Ordered some stuff from ACME. Seems black paint can do wonders, but I'm going to start with this:

New bad habits

I'm doing some googling tonite. My people have developed a new bad habit..... some water device. I went to play my new game, and darned if they did not bring out one of their infernal devices! Squirted water at me!

It was still a blast to hear them yell at me, and then the old one yells at the small one. But I got soaked!

So I'm going to have to do some conditioning. The normal knock the phone off the hook is not working. The old one has all these toys, I'll probably hide one till he behaves.

Well, gotta run. Gonna head for a drink! (Hope they left the lid up! yet another bad habit)

What a hoot!

Well, the new game was a hit! I waited till about 3AM, and zapped the bigger of my people with the claws when he was at his loudest napping. What a hoot! He jumped up, made the loudest noise! Even kicked my smaller person, and started yelling!

And the best thing is, they let me out.

This is going to be fun. L8tr

I'm Bored, time for a new game

I am just bored to tears. My people don't have cable, so not much on the tube. I've even getting tired of my normal game: "I want out, No, I want in, No, I want out".

That's usually good for some entertainment, but my people won't play much of late. So I've come up with a new one. One of my people makes funny noises while they catnap. I've found I can get the old one to make loud noises if I dig my claws in the cover while he's napping.

Here's a shot of the old one. He's a bit long in the tooth and occasionally grouchy, but what are you gonna do, you can't just put them down like you used to! You can see all the grey in his muzzle. And since we had him fixed he's developed a bit of a paunch. But, my younger pet likes him, so I keep him around.



My pet is the one on the right. I don't know who's pet the one on the left is, but he's clearly much younger and healthier. Certainly has more hair! :-)

And my people take the longest naps, I guess it's because they are so old! I'm ready to do stuff, go outside, but all they do is lay on the bed. Even knocking stuff off the kitchen counters won't make them move.

I'll report how the new game works out! L8tr
