Cat sera, sera

Me-ow-my-oh!

7 March 2017 - You guessed it!  We are enduring another day of assault:  today they attacked with large hammers.  So far our perimeter is holding.  Despite their uncivilized aggression this morning, they have surprisingly retreated for lunch... a two-hour one would be okie-dokie with me.  I am trying to decide if my peeps are foolhardy in their complacency or have signed a terms-of-engagement policy with the rabble.  Neither position lessens my anxiety.  Is the Geneva Convention still in effect??

6 March 2017 - Another day with strangers underfoot!  Our quiet weekend lulled me into believing that Friday's assault was a one-time occurrence.  But I, unfortunately, was mistaken.  My familiarity with our abode will come in handy, as I seek out safe spots to spend my time until they are gone.  Without something to stop up my ears, I will nevertheless be aware of each sharp noise and unfamiliar voice... but tucked away upstairs I won't have to watch.  I will survive the latest onslaught, but don't blame me if the trauma increases my hair loss.

5 March 2017 - Sunday mornings are generally quiet around our house:  no pre-breakfast solicitation calls, no urgency to rise.  And if I am toasty warm in bed, I don't have a good reason for stirring... especially since worms don't make me salivate in anticipation.  The shorter one has already started her day, which typically is enough incentive to get me off my towel... but not this morning.  Perhaps I overate yesterday?  But right now I just want to remain curled in a ball, and I am not putting the request up for a vote.

4 March 2017 - You might not recognize this favorite corner of mine.  It isn't just that the potted plant has been relocated; the entire screened enclosure has been relocated!  I hardly recognize the space, even after inspecting, carefully, the entire length of the porch.  I rather like the immediacy of the outdoors, but on second thought that also means the immediacy of those things that lurk outdoors.  There still is an elevation difference between me and the ground, but for now I have curtailed any porch napping... just to be on the safe side.

3 March 2017 - There are currently strangers in our house... two of them.  It appears that they are dismantling the screened porch.  The shorter peep seems okay with the situation, so I am trying to remain calm.  Keeping myself removed from the chaos seems to be the best strategy.  There are only two unfortunate snags in my plan:  1)  that annoying interloper could be out there, and 2) winter has returned.  With a promise of nine lives, I like to think of myself as lucky, but today just isn't my day.

2 March 2017 - Sometimes one gets so caught up in the everyday, that important events pass you by, unnoticed, uncelebrated.  Of course, "important" is a relative term (and one that we won't all agree on), but I am pleasantly surprised and a bit proud of the fact that there now exist "out there" a cool one-thousand-and-one of my more-or-less-daily blogs.  Granted, this many dalmatians got huge publicity, but I am my own agent (so typical of us cats)... so these few sentences will be all the hype it gets (or probably deserves).  Being a cautious sort, I have decided to keep a low profile for the next few days... I loathe paparazzi.

1 March 2017 - When the temperature rises into the steamy category, I minimize my lap time.  Mornings are generally cooler, so five minutes then can be tolerated without overheating the engine.  It is equally warm for the shorter peep, so neither of us is distressed when I decide "that's enough".  I would give up this togetherness for Lent (and beyond), but Bastet doesn't ask denial of her disciples.  Furthermore, I think some cozying is good for general, and NCO, morale.
