That Foof!

Hmmmm.... I think I'll go into the kitchen and get something to eat.

Mom? I need to park on you!
Sheesh Foof! I was just getting up to go into the kitchen!
This will only take a minute.
No it won't, and you know it.
Let me just wiggle wiggle wiggle here, get situated just right... there. Now I am parked on your thigh.
Foof, I need to go into the kitchen and get my coffee.
No you don't.
Ok ok. I'll sit here for a minute.
(big kitty sigh)

But eventually the timer bell rang and I had to go rescue the brownies.

Foof was NOT pleased.

"MOM!"

Yes? How are you little kitty foof?

Mom! Where have you been? You left me all alone here and I was so lonely and you were gone and I was lonely and you weren't here and

Well, if you slow down a minute and let me talk I can expl...

And you weren't here and you were gone! Where did you go? I was so lonely! Don't do that again!

I had to take cb to ballet, just like I always do, then we went out for Chinese food, just like we always do. And now I'm back.

Well, I didn't like it. Don't do that again. Is it time to eat?

No, foof, it's only 8:00. I'm going to go upstairs and watch this Nutcracker dvd. Wanna come up, too?

Maybe. (merp-up-noise)

Let me get settled. Hmmmmm... shall I be on your lap? or here on the table? or, maybe... here in my box. Yes, that's just right. Hey! What's all that noise coming from the computer? It's not supposed to make that noise!

It's just the Nutcracker ballet. See, cb's in it. Isn't she beautiful?

I don't like the noise. I'm going to try to take a nap.

(sounds of nutcracker stuff... then the Arabian dancers come out and the music makes tinging noises, like the sound of finger cymbals or something)

Hey! What's that noise?!?! That sounds like the doorbell!

No, foof, it's just the dvd.

Hmmmph. Well, I don't like it. Aren't you done yet?

Yes, I'm done.

Good. Now is it time to eat?

Almost.

All is Well

Foof is in her box and Arn is on his blanket on the couch and I am on the computer.

I sneezed once and woke Foof up and she fussed at me quite severely.

Kitties and Water

Well, you just KNOW what this is going to be about... but it's always cute, don't you think?

I turned on the bathtub faucet last night while I brushed my teeth. They were so fascinated! Arnold keep fwapping the running water and making that cute little Arnold noise. Foof just watched.

Then I collected some water in my hand and let it dribble out over the drain. Fascinating! They thought it was so interesting to see the water come from somewhere else.

Then I used the water in my hand to wash down some of the hairs on the sides of the tub. Great fun watching that go down the drain and trying to fwap it!

The Tiger

The kitties and I were watching Animal Planet last night and there was a rescued tiger who had been living in a cage all his life. The cage was about the size of a full-size bed. They took him to a zoo and let him out to roam in a tiger enclosure and he was so cute!

Just like a poohlet kitty: he stepped into the creek and pulled out his paw and shook it vigorously before stepping in again.

He did seem to enjoy it eventually, though. He even sat down and sphinxed in the creek.
