Goodbye

MIA

We've been missing in action this week, but for a very good cause. My dad, Sir Moose-a-lot's daddy, has been in the hospital again. He's home now on hospice. If you don't see us for a while, it's because we're concentrating on him.

Moose was not happy when his daddy went in the hospital again and let his mommy know it by slowly biting her hand three times when she came home without him. But he wasted no time getting on his daddy's lap when he got back home. In fact, he ran down the ramp to meet him as the ambulance crew brought him in. Sir Moose-a-lot Roadkill Goodyear Thunderbottom is a daddy's boy to the extreme!

He had to get off the bed, or rather off of his daddy, for a while, and when he was allowed back they tried to get him to stay by his feet. That worked. For a minute..

See how he's not exactly thrilled by where he got put?

I know daddy's lap, I love daddy's lap, and this is not daddy's lap!

 

 

He slowly crept his way up, but at least he stayed beside him, not on him. 21 pounds of tabby love can be a bit much at times. Look at the smile on that face!

My daddy's home! And I'm so happy!

We'll visit and post when we can, but it will be hit and miss. We love you all!

Hiding From Monday

Leo: We're hiding from Monday! Mommy was too busy to get a real post up, but me and Star will make her do a good one for tomorrow, we promise!

Scenes From A Twin

Twin 1 sent me some pictures she took on her phone. They must have been from when she was here last time, when the cat tree was new, because it had not been destroyed yet. I know I had to have been home, I always am.. but I don't recall these events.

Then again, part of it may be the same event I posted about on Tuesday, but expanded. I know the pictures aren't the greatest, but seeing this story unfold may make up for that. You be the judge.

Leo: Hey Star! See where I am? I got the tree!

Star: .....

 

 

Leo: Star? Oh StaaAAaarrrr.. Are you listening to me?

Star: *ignore*

 

 

Leo: Star! Now I'm on the top shelf! Whatcha think about that??

 

 

Leo: Still nothin'? Well what about now, I'm on the cabinet!

 

Star: Oh look, now I'm on the tree! And I got the window view!

Leo: Hey.....

 

 

Leo: Um, hey, Star? Can you move so I can get back down?

Star: Who said that? Did I hear a little voice from somewhere? heh heh

Star: *feigned surprise* Oh, it was you. I thought a little bug was talking to me.

Leo: Eep.. Uh, yeah, it's me..

Leo: So, uh.. You gonna move?

Star: I don't think so, Leo.

 

Leo: So I'm trapped here? Well, I guess I can see out the window, sorta.

Star: Yeah, you can just sit there til I'm darn good and ready to move. Oh look, it's time for my five hour nap!

If I'm right about when this happened, then he did eventually jump down past her. Whenever it was, it makes my heart sing when they share space like this.

I hope you all have a weekend filled with good moments that make your hearts sing!

Tracker Leo

When we got the new track ball toy thingie, we wondered if the kitties would play with it. They did. Not excessively, but enough. Star loves the scratchy part in the middle. But it's a big thing in a small room and it tends to wind up under a chair where they can't get to it.. So I make sure to drag it out once in a while so they can play with it.

Leo found it had been pulled out from under the chair the other day and took possession of it. He always looks so confused when the ball gets stuck under his fur and stops rolling, which is where it is in the following pictures.

Hey rolly ball, where did you go?

 

 

Dang, I hate when that happens..

 

 

Oh hey, a camera. Guess I had to stop playing anyway. I wonder where that ball ran off to though..

 

That's my big goofball!

Wordless Wednesday With Leo

Shelf Sitters

These pictures were taken before Leo totally destroyed the scratchy part of the blue cat tree. I just ran across several pictures that I haven't shared yet.

Apparently I was wrong, he HAS been back up on the cabinet, at least one other time.

Hey! Princess Hissyface! I mean.. Hey Star! Looky where I am!!

 

 

 

While he was up there, Star jumped onto the bottom shelf!

Star: See what I did here? I've trapped the barbarian up there.. heh heh

Leo: Um, I just wanted you to look where I was, not join me or anything..

 

Star: I think I'll just sit here and have a bath.. A long long long bath.

Leo: Um.. Don't you think you could do that somewhere else? I'm feeling a little stuck here..

Star: Oh look, the leaves are starting to change color. I think I'll sit right here and watch. Until they're done.

Leo: That'll take... DAYS! 

Star: Or longer.

Leo: Argh! I'm trapped forever!  

 

 

Leo must have gotten tired of waiting for her to move because suddenly, in a very fast move, he jumped down to the top shelf and then immediately to the bed from there! Then, as if to say he wasn't scared of anything, he quickly laid down and acted like it was no big deal.

Leo: See, I wasn't stuck after all! And now I got the comfy bed and my singing fevver toy!

Star: You came pretty close to touching me on your way past.. Try that again and I'll surgically remove your giant head, got it?

Leo: Hee hee hee, I don't hear nothin'!

She won't admit it I'm sure, but I think Leo jumping down like that kind of scared Star! She held her spot though!
