call of the wild

Me-ow-my-oh!

Me-usings and Me-emories

4 September 2013 - Were it not for the white throat and feet, I could pass as a panther in the jungle.  Don't confuse me with a Florida panther, as they are really cougars (and the wrong color).  I don't venture into the wild very far, as there are bobcats and red foxes in these woods, but sometimes I feel the need to sniff nature and chew on some grass.

3 September 2013 -  I believe that I detect some resemblance?  The thing with wings is my buddy, the strong and silent type of companion.  But there is absolutely no way those wings will bear it aloft...I know because I've given it a nudge, and it's heavy as a rock.  When I first encountered it, I tried to talk it off the ledge, but evidently the spot suits.  And I try to overlook its pinkness...better it than me.

2 September 2013 - Don't fault me for being an early riser.  It's in my genes.  Dawn is a beautiful time of the day, blessedly quiet and virtually empty of human activity, at least around my house.  I can make my rounds, check the yard for evidence of nocturnal visitors, eat a few kibbles, and return to bed before my peeps stir.  However every now and then my padding around is noticed by the female of the pair, and I am the recipient of her "what are you doing?" stare...to which I ingenuously reply "ruh roh".

1 September 2013 -  Begging doesn't become me, so maintaining my dignity while dependent upon lessers is a concern.  I cannot detect resentment from my peeps; in truth they seem very happy to supply my needs....happy almost to the point of drooling.  Have I allied myself with a pair of soft heads?

31 August 2013 -  My internal body temperature is some three degrees warmer than my peeps', which explains our different interpretations of "comfortable".  Even our hottest day is okay by me, underscoring that I am a Florida cat, born and raised.  Inside our chilly house I have been forced to place my black coat in a pool of sunshine.

30 August 2013 -  I'm not one to rock the boat, "purr and let purr" are words to live by.  Besides I'm fairly certain that boats sit in water, and with the exception of drinking, I have no use for water.  Baths are for the less fastidious, and swimming is just an opportunity for sharks.  I prefer to keep my dainty toes on dry land...although who knows where I was carried while stuffed in the sack?

29 August 2013 -  Ever think about where the day has gone?  A good bit of my waking time (okay, hold that snicker) is spent waiting...waiting for the peeps to put kibbles in my bowl, waiting for the peeps to open the back door, waiting for the peeps to give me yogurt.  All of this nonsense could be made to disappear if I had my own personal attendant...or if I had opposable thumbs.  Is it too early to start a Christmas list?
