Can I hiss the Mondays away?

maussie — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:57:08 +0000

It’s been long since Mama figured out that I am not a Monday-cat; as in, of all the days in the 7-day-cluster that humans call ‘a week’- I like Mondays the least!

On Mondays- I meow more, I definitely do NOT want Mama to get out of that door for her daily hunting; on Mondays I’m super-cranky because I hardly EVER get my way on this: Mama hardly ever misses her hunting!!

I guess it is a way to tell that weekends spoil me rotten. I must have picked this up from the humans….. which leads me to think- you know you are living with humans for a long time when you start to pick up their sentiments for a particular day of ‘the week’!

I believe it will be no surprise when I say that of my 17 months life so far- I have spent 15 of them with my humans…. a quick calculation… and that is 88% of my life so far…?

Quite some time, heh? Meow!

Cats and Mice

maussie — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:41:48 +0000

Mama pointed out to me last night that despite me being a cat and all that- I have never seen a mouse in my life! Of course- she means the ‘live’ ones and not the ‘toy’ ones; because… oh… I have seen plenty of toy mice!

Now that I think of it, it does seem a little…. mm… odd…. for a cat- you know?

Furry Monday!

As my friend Huffle Mawson pointed it out- Mama is not doing very well with her 2010 resolution. I (with some help from Huffle’s mummy) managed to ‘guilt’ her into blogging for me by pointing that out- so there we go!

Today, I have my Mama home with me; even though Papa is out all day hunting. It is a pub-lic holiday here in Victoria- it probably means that Mama is a pub-lic and Papa is not, but I still have no clue what this word otherwise means. Anyways.

It also means I’ll have to keep a close watch of when Papa gets back home.

I have helped Mama today in cleaning the house, even though I have no idea what is wrong with having cat furs all other the place… I mean- what CAN be the problem with having zillions and trillions of cat furs all over the place!

Humans and their ideas of cleanliness!

My silly Mama

maussie — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:36:37 +0000

This year, Mama kept a list- of people she thoughts deserves a ‘thank you’ card from her. My vet human, Laura, is one of them. She thinks that if it wasn’t for Laura, then I’d have to endure even more pain from my Pancreatitis- if not things far worse and Mama cannot bring herself to even write here. I’m all cured now.

So…. Laura was sent a ‘thank you’ card and Mama signed it for me (as in- it said it was from ‘Sherkhan’)… but that does not say half of how grateful Mama feels towards her. I guess it means that Mama loves ‘me’ a lot.

I’m scared of Laura- she prods me, pokes me- and does all the annoying things a vet human does to kittens… and I wish I do not have to visit her anytime soon…. if EVER!

Strangely, even after Mama and I having polar opposite feelings about Laura- both of us wish we do not have to see her for a very very very long time!

Isn’t it strange or what?

The mixed bag

maussie — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 22:31:33 +0000

It’s a sad day for me… Mama went back to her daily hunting today after the big Christmas break. I guess that means life is coming back to its usual. Hunting, home, limited cuddles- I was quite spoilt the last few days- attention whenever I want it, a lap to sleep on anytime I want to. I like Mama likes to cuddle me as much as I like to be cuddled by her. Meow!

In the last few weeks I received Christmas cards from my dear friends Huffle Mawson and Angel & Kirby. Thank you, kitties . You are wonderful! I hope you got my cards too.

I heard Mama and Papa discussing about some guests. I think we’ll be having some guests over at ours the next few days. Meow! I’m a little weary, you see? Will they like me? Will they bring me presents? Will they take over my humans’ time even more? Will my humans neglect me because they’ll have some new company? I have a lot of concerns, but I just have to wait it out and see, don’t I? I don’t like it at all! MEOWHH!

Anyway, Mama says this year is called 2010, and her resolution this year is to help me blog more. Let’s see if she keeps it, right? So, a happy 2010 to everyone who’s reading- kitties, humans and woofies alike.

I’m having a lovely summer over here, I hope you are too!

Holiday Cards

maussie — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:39:58 +0000

Hello kitties,

Just so I can have a chance to say ‘thank you’ to my regular readers- kitties, woofies and humans regardless- I have decided you all should get a card from me this holiday!

But of course- for that to happen, I’d need your home addresses

If it’s okay with you and if you’d like a card- please send me your address by leaving a comment here or mailing to mama at emcie at y7mail dot com.

That’s all for now. See ya soon!

Magic Meows

maussie — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 00:00:17 +0000

I have noticed one thing- meows work!

And if you are consistent with your meows, they work like magic!

Like if I want the human to play with me the meow I make is ‘meowwwwwwww’, or if I want cuddles the meows I make are sort of like ‘meeeeeeeow’. Be consistent, do it a couple of times and the humans start to ‘get’ it.

Try it, and tell me how you go- okay?

Sometimes the humans need some basic training, but I have to say they do make good pets!

Meow!

Meowie!

I’m just dropping in to see how everyone was doing! I’m doing well! Growing up and recovery is still in progress. Meanwhile, I’m keeping up my cute kitten ways- thankyouverymuch. Pancreatitis is a nasty disease to have. Even after you are good and kicking, the weight takes time to pick up. I’m still on the special diet, but I also like it these days- unlike a few months ago when I was constantly refusing my food! These days, I eat them up quick and on some days I ask for more!

My humans are busy. I think Mama is a little sick too- she smells different. But it may be that she is also getting better. She needs to have a few tests- blood etc- and then she will be cleared.

Mama is also taking driving lessons for her license. As if she did not have enough to do already! Meow!

There was a bad storm in Melbourne yesterday- lots of lightning and loud sounds. I hid under the sofa, hoping that those lights will not find me there. They didn’t! I guess it means that my house is a safe place…. even those lights cannot find me when I’m in the house! How cool is that?

So? How have you kitties been?
