Arnold Bdot - Protector of the family

So we watched a little tv last night and blobbed. The kitties were very mello and blobb-y so, when I went to bed I let them in. Well. That's when they decided to get psycho. Crazy! So I politely asked them to leave. Really. I asked them politely.

Then I couldn't sleep.

So I went to the fliving room and slept on the couch. Kitties came and parked with me during the night. Of course, the Audrey-kitty alarm went off at 5:30 so they ate half a can of friskies. I had some breakfast and went back to sleep. The kitties finished and parked with me.

I finally got up and went to take a shower. When I came out of my bedroom Arnold dashed upstairs. "Merrrp!" He just wanted to visit. Then Audrey mer-ed so sadly downstairs. She took a little convincing but she finally came upstairs.

They were carefully grooming themselves - Arnold on top of the kitty tower and Audrey on the floor next to me.

Then we heard a noise. "Vvvvvrrrrrrrp, vvvrrrppp, vvrrpp" , like an electric drill putting screws into something. Cats At Attention immediately. Heads pointed toward outside. "Vvvvvrrrrrp! Vvvrrrppp! Vvvvvvvvvvvrrrp! Vvrrpp." Then Arnold gave his Arnold-kitty growl. It lasted a little longer than usual. "Vvvrrp, vvrrpp." Then quiet.

Satisfied that he had saved his family from certain doom Arnold put his paw on the edge of the top of the kitty tower, put his head on his paw and promptly fell asleep.

Audrey-kitty was a little more suspicious and cautious. She loafed herself touching my knee and stayed alert for a little while longer then fell asleep.

So now all is well.

Oh dear, the poohlets have gone

Yes, the kitties and I are alone again. And we're all a little out of sorts.

Although... you should have seen Audrey-kitty just a minute ago ---- she jumped up way high onto Arnold's box and stood there quite proud of herself. A little shaky, though - that box is not exactly stable. Ah, it just wiggled a bit and she had to leap down and squeak. I think she's insisting that she wasn't scared but that the box wasn't safe.

Now she's on the puce banana. Arnold was parked in the spotted bed behind me until Audrey squeaked. Now he's on the floor beside me watching her. Now he's moved to the foyer and he's groggily watching her - trying to figure out what she's up to. He's very sleepy-looking.

So, that's it from kitty-land --- squeaks and mers and purrs and being a little sad.
