Humans Are Odd Creatures

My Chief of Staff did something very strange.

While I was on her lap for my regular groom and worship, she suddenly put both hands on my back and made scratching motions as she cackled 'Kitty, Kitty, Kitty.'

I leaped into the air and landed, with my usual grace, on the arm of the chair aghast at this failure to respect my dignity (and WHO is this Kitty-Kitty-Kitty creature???) Chief of Staff reached around and dug her fingers into my back again! All again called that Kitty thing.

This odd aberration in behavior from an otherwise normal human was not to be endured. I leapt down, twitched my lovely, plush fur into place and took a nap in the window.

Good breakfast

Chief of Staff had to go to work early today so she had her breakfast in the livingroom watching the picture box (an interesting past time which I also indulge in occasionally). When she finished her cereal, she held the bowl up and offered the leftover milk to me. I perched, graceful as only a cat can be, on the back of the sofa and on her shoulder and lapped it up.

It was good. Life is good.

I will take a nap now.

Locked in a room

I was in process of killing a mouse this morning--one of my little catnip filled mice that Chief of Staff gives me--the battle raged upstairs and down and back again. I ran from room to room chasing the mouse, catching it and tossing it high into the air. It flew behind the bathroom door, seeking a place of safety.

With me on the premises, there is no safety for these dangerous mice.

I chased behind the door, grabbed the mouse and fought it hard. The door closed, leaving me trapped in the bathroom.

I did not appreciate this. When I was much younger, I was forced to stay for many hours in this small room and though it is well decorated, there is not enough space to stretch my powerful muscles or fighting skills.

So, mouse forgotten, I called to she who is Chief of Staff. But she was asleep. This annoyed me.

Finally, she came to my rescue and opened the door. I scolded her mightily but she, never showing the proper respect, simply said, "Locked yourself in, did you? Be more careful in the future."

I think I will hack up a hairball on her computer chair.
