Me-ow-my-oh!

Me-usings and Me-emories

23 June 2016 - With my active lifestyle and busy schedule, I have to remind myself to get proper and sufficient nourishment.  The shorter peep is good about keeping food in my bowl, and I can recognize from many rooms away the sound of kibble being stirred.  She must know that that stimulates my salivary glands, and I am compelled to check out the situation... even though the menu is reassuringly the same.  If you like a thing, then change is unnecessary.

22 June 2016 - If I were being honest, I would admit that this place by the lake offers lots of pluses (although weather isn't one of them).  There are numerous spots to hang out, many featuring elevated views of the water and local wildlife.  Florida doesn't offer piles of rocks over which to scamper and prowl, and how very neat it is to be able to drink, whenever I wish, from this oversized sink.  Of course now that the feeder is hanging from the tree, the annoying squeep is back.  He and I have a love/hate relationship that keeps my lifestyle from being completely sedentary... which on balance is a good thing, although he is giving me scowl lines.

21 June 2016 - I have a new responsibility here by the lake:  guarding these green things.  They don't smell interesting, so I suspect they are the equivalent of peepnip.  The pots are located in my favorite room, i.e., the one with maximum southern exposure, behind glass and locked door...but a wily thief could still abscond with the goods.  So I have added this area to my perimeter patrol, and who can fault me for also taking my breaks here?  Don't try to be cute:  "scarecrow" is not on my resume.

20 June 2016 - It is my belief (and I have few) that whatever you elect to do on the first day of summer sets a precedent for the remaining months.  So, as you can see, I thoughtfully chose to nap in a brilliant patch of warmth.  I mentioned this fact yesterday, but it can't be said enough:  I am so happy when the sun is out.  Fortunately, my mania doesn't interfere with my all-important sleep.  From me to you, enjoy the official opener of my favorite season.

19 June 2016 - We cats don't hear voices (well, we hear the chatter of peeps non-stop, but we mostly choose to ignore the noise), so when I draw attention to some activity on the roof (as heard from inside the house) my peeps know that something is literally up.  They did not have enough curiosity (i.e., they aren't cats) to investigate what was walking about on the roof, but I felt that I had done my duty in reporting it.  Maybe there was no sense of urgency on their part because I will be expected to "deal" with the thing should it make its way to this side of the ceiling.  Ok, I can handle that assignment, but I am not responsible for any clean-up.

18 June 2016 - It takes very little to make me happy:  a warm spot that is quiet...and an occasional head pat from the peeps.  Now that I have seen the sun for several consecutive days, I might even admit to being truly happy.  Evidently there was a time, not that long ago in the big picture, when happiness was not even a negotiating point on the table.  If one had shelter and sufficient food (starvation no longer a concern), then you had the good life.  At some point, the individual became distinct from the crowd, and then one might come to the conclusion that mere existence was not enough.  That eventually led to such quandaries as "why am I here?"  Personal realization has been a mixed blessing.

17 June 2016 - I apologize for being a grouch of late.  Today has dawned with a brilliance, so my spirits are lifting from their black nadir.  The only thing one can control in regards the weather (and most other things as well) is one's reaction to it.  So if the sun is shining and the sky is that impossible blue, get off your haunches and join the outside world.  The texting and video-gaming and reading and cooking and cleaning can all wait until that day when it isn't fit to leave the house... which could be tomorrow.
