Gregory's ServerWhen the human is writing, Lydia (Greater London, UK) has come to understand this is actually a game, and the goal is for her to get the pen out of her human’s hand. The game been getting much easier lately though, because her human has been giving Lydia her own pen at the start.

There has been some consternation in the house about whether or not the humans are going to forget dinner time. Doug (Somerset, UK) has been doing his best to allay this concern by running over to his food bowl every time the humans stand up or move.  Pippin (BC, Canada) has decided the best place to be right now is inside a paper bag. It’s hard to tell if it’s comfortable, but his humans aren’t going to question it. While a cat sitter was staying over, Bumble (Buckinghamshire, UK) went to drink in her nightly place only to find it full of water. She was not impressed with the sitter having to dry her off and the excuse that the sitter had been taking a bath! What she should be doing was turning the tap on just enough for Bumble to have a drink from. It has been pouring for days. Miranda (Lombardy, Italy) is quite surprised by the fact that it’s raining both out of the back door and the front door. Uncanny.  @cat_news Has Miranda tried meowing excessively at the human for them to make it stop? Marlowe (Buckinghamshire, UK) is exhausted, and has had to take a huge nap after watching her human cleaning the house. So much movement she had to observe. Truly her human needs to slow down. Ketzeleh (USA) raced to the scene immediately to help with cleanup after a kitchen accident scattered a bowl of crunchies on the floor. She did not rest until every last crunchie was accounted for, in her tummy. Teddy (Pennsylvania, USA) unfortunately has b-cell lymphoma. But recent scans show his tumors are shrinking from the treatment!!! He will need to get radiation and then chemotherapy, but he is tolerating the chemo very well. Please cross your fingers that this little bean stays around for another 15 years. Miranda's humans have finally returned from their mysterious ten-day "adventure," leaving her in the paws of a mere caretaker. Upon their arrival, she immediately demanded an extra-long grooming session and insisted on her favorite dinner—served at a most unconventional hour. However, Miranda (Lombardy, Italy) is not about to forgive and forget so easily. Expect her to be grumpy for days to come. How dare they abandon her like this! Richie (New South Wales, Australia) has written in specifically to tell his human that he has sharpened his claws on the sofa. He is ready for anything that today throws at him and so are you. Nibbler (Alberta, Canada) has rediscovered his little bird toy, and has been asking his humans to play over and over again. He’s had it for ages, but apparently now it is good again. The humans have bought Dodi (Quebec, Canada) a doormat! She loves it. The humans just put it down and went on with things, but Dodi has been marvelling over it and likes to sit on it for hours. TC (Buckinghamshire UK) was happy soaking up the sun on the picnic table when one of his humans came and sat next to him. To his horror they started to stroke him ruining is outdoor street cred. Heroically, TC moved sun spots to the other end of the table with his back turned to his human. That should teach them. Maximilian (Max, Nagoya Japan), doesn't care how weird it looks when he sleeps with his front legs and back legs facing in opposite directions. In fact, he says sleeping with your body twisted through 180 degrees is the most comfortable way to snooze. Francine (Ontario, Canada) has been trying to look cute to convince her human to give her dinner early. When that didn’t work she tried complaining. That strategy didn’t last either though because she got distracted by birds outside the window. She doesn’t have the focus to remember her plans. Missy (Greater London, UK) loves snack time, and eats her snack up super fast. Then afterwards she likes to take her time and make her human stand there, hand outstretched, while she licks up every last piece of snack dust from their fingers. The furniture has had a little rearrange, and now Pippin (BC, Canada) has decided it is actually an obstacle course just for him. He has been leaping between things and chasing his toys across them for days now. Audrey (Vancouver, BC) is not a fan of human summer outfits: compared to jeans, cut-offs leave too much bare skin for their laps to look as comfortable. It was a major concession this week when she decided to watch TV sitting in her mom’s lap anyway. “The experience turned out to be acceptable,” said Miss Audrey. Keiran (Lancashire, UK) smelled some very nice smells from the dinner table and went to investigate. In fact he got far too close to the takeaway food that had just been put up there and the humans were forced to intervene. The human was watching a scary movie, so Kaz (Ontario, Canada) decided it was important to come and sit with them for comfort. Of course, it was also important to time her arrival to one of the scariest moments of the film. |
@cat_news
ah yes, the Bic-sacrifice to protect the fountain pen (and fingers)
@cat_news Where's the challenge it that, though?
@cat_news plot twist: Lydia is soon to be an award winning writer…
