Scotch Tape

Got into mom's "Collect All" drawer.

Found this stuff that was sticky on just one side.

First it stuck to my nose, then it stuck, to my paw, then to my tongue. Yummy it tastes good.

I found something like it on the papers mom brings in everyday from outside. She calls it mail.

I kept licking and licking, tasted sooo good. She took it away, said it would make me sick.

I got back into the drawer, mom shut it, I was able to open it again. She shook her head at me.

That drawer will have to wait until she leaves. Another secret.

Hailey "The Neighbor Cat"

Hailey is orange and white in color. She is very big in size. Even bigger than me and I am big (being part Bobcat you know). I have huge feet. I have 7 toes on each front foot and 6 toes on each back foot. Mom says I am a POLYDACTYL CAT. That means I am special.

Oh... I forgot this was suppose to be about Hailey.

She came to visit yesterday and laid at the back screen door. The glass door was open, so the only thing between her and me was the screen door. She was swishing her tail

back and forth

back and forth

swish swish swish

I don't have a long tail, I have a bobbed tail, naturally bobbed I might add.

I was in a mischievious mood yesterday

watching that tail swish back and forth, swish swish swish

I decided I needed to pounce on it.

I scrunched down real low to the ground - o.k. carpet I was in the living room.

I was almost flat.

I ran... I ran fast...

I forgot there was a screen door.

CRASH

I shook my head, I shook my right paw - I meowed real loud - mom said I jammed it

Hailey said I was a nut case. I told her the nuts were in the bird feeder. Hailey ran away.

Game time over.

Slippin Slide

Ready, set, run, run faster....

Slide.... Those plastic runners mom put down are a hoot.

Ready, set, run, run faster....

Slide.... CRASH - the end of the hallway came to soon this morning.

Dad thought I put a hole in the wall.

O.K. I will head the other way up the hallway.

Ready, set, run, run faster...

SLIDE... oh no this time I slid right into mom.

I gotta practice while they are at work.

Racoon Friends

Everynight I have 4 racoon friends that come to the door.

When they show up I stand on my back legs and bang on the window next to the door so mom will know that they are ready to be fed.

I have tried to open the screen door latch and let them in (I am very tall or maybe I should say long). Mom gets mad at me cuz she is afraid that I will get out and go live with the racoons. They are not scared of me or my humans. Mom feeds them the cheap catfood (I get the expensive kind). Sometimes she lets them have raw eggs. Last nite I talked her into giving them peanut butter too. I read on the computer that racoons like that stuff - it is toooo sticky for me.

Someday they will come in and play, I just know it.

Winston's View of Life

4:15 a.m. - wake up mom and dad with a meow in the face and a paw to the nose.

4:40 a.m. - ask for tuna, tuna, tuna - has to be Starkist as I will spit out the generic brands.

4:55 a.m. - try to trip dad as he goes out the door, then I try to follow him out the door, but mom grabs me.

5:05 a.m. - try to trip mom as she goes out the door, oh there is the racoon - please let me play with him.

mom leaves - what I do now is a secret.
