One of my friends came over today and I was really happy to see him. He hardly ever comes over here so it was a special treat.
Until I discovered that all he wanted to do was say hi to Gizmo.
This is becoming a regular pattern around here. What’s going on? Why am I losing out to a cat so often lately?
.
.
Come on! What about me? I can give better loves than a cat any day.
See if you ever get kisses like that from Gizmo.
What? Holding Gizmo now?
Your arms are going to get tired.
You don’t have to hold me. Just attach yourself to my leash and I’ll take you wherever you want to go.
Besides, I don’t think Gizmo likes being held. I’d never hold him.
You’d better put him down and give me a few loves.
Hey! Where are you putting Gizmo?
When I said to put him down I just meant on the floor or the couch.
Gizmo, what are you doing in there? This is terrible.
I wouldn’t wish a cage on anyone. Not even a cat.
Well, maybe Scratchy. But he always gets out of his cage eventually.
Hold on Gizmo! I’ll rescue you.
Maybe if I push this thing over we’ll find a way for you to escape.
Noooo! Where are you going Gizmo?
Your younger person’s house? That’s one of your younger people? How many people do you have anyway?
This is terrible! Just when I was getting used to having Gizmo around.
Oh, ummm. I mean, good riddance Gizmo. One less cat around to harass me.
Scratchy, don’t you have an extra younger person around that can take you away?

Ohhhhh, I too got used to Gizmo and am sad to see him go…
Maybe now Scratchy will feel differently about hanging around and playing with you!

Marina, Scratchy hasn’t been hanging out on the tops of the cabinets since Gizmo left, but he’s still not hanging out with me.

It’s just a Gizmo thing Bongo…Gizmo’s grow on you whether they’re cats or dogs…Happy Saturday!

Gizmo, it’s good to know that you’re still around. I hate to admit I miss a cat.

Hey, that’s no fair! Come back kitty so Bongo can harass you!

Rumpy, it is kind of disappointing having only one cat to harass. I found a cat in my backyard today but it ran off as soon as I went outside.

Gone!?!? Yikes. Gizmo Kitty was starting to grow on me. Better hide, Scratchy. You may be next! Just sayin….
Love and licks,

Cupcake, I think Gizmo would have been playing with me if he’d hung around a bit longer. Scratchy never wants to play. Maybe I could get our younger person to take Scratchy to his apartment. But if not, Gizmo has more younger people. Maybe one of them would take Scratchy away.

Benny & Lily, Gizmo seemed to get a lot of attention while he was here. I guess all that attention will be mine now.

Well, l suppose you could always ask your human for a cat of your own 🙂

BZ, I’ve got to make sure it’s the right cat. One that will play with me and not harass me.

Hi Bingo,,,,Don’t worry,,,I’ll bet you get to see Gizmo again.

Speakdoggie, my person already promised to take Gizmo back if his younger person’s living arrangements don’t work out.

Now sweet Bongo we think you secretly love Scratchy and if he left like Gizmo did you would miss him terribly…now wouldn’t you? Hugs and nose kisses
Bongo
June 23, 2013 at 1:35 pm
Chancy and Mumsy, I guess I might miss Scratchy a little, but please don’t tell him that. It would go to his head.

Oh!!! Gizmo’s gone….*sniff* I know he is now happy to see his younger person’s house, but we will miss Gizmo… you, too Bongo….no?
Bongo
June 23, 2013 at 1:36 pm
Kevin, I already miss Gizmo. I think we would have been best buddies if he’d been here a little longer. But please don’t tell anyone I’m missing a cat. It would spoil my reputation.

You should have changed Gizmo against Scratchy in that mini prison when your friend did not watched.

Kolytyi, I wish I’d thought of that sooner. Gizmo was more fun than Scratchy.

I’ll bet Gizmo would let you visit. That would be fun – you could use it as an excuse for an adventure. Gizmo’s a pretty big kitty…guess your person fed him well.

Lola, I think Scratch lost weight and Gizmo gained weight while Gizmo was here. Scratchy likes to nibble so there’s almost always food in his dish until I get into it. But Gizmo kept beating me to it. I will have to check out going to visit Gizmo. That might be fun.

Bongo, I thought Gizmo was sent to -jail- the Hotel, but he’s not coming back, is he 😦
Bongo

Little Binky, Gizmo’s gone for good. But my person promised his younger person that if he has to move from where he’s living she’ll take him back – so you never know.

Aw, I will miss reading about Gizmo! I hope he will be very happy in his new home. It was wonderful of your person to take care of him when he had no place to go 🙂

Remy, I had to admit that I miss a cat, but I do kind of miss Gizmo. I think if he’d been here a little longer we would have been the best of pals.

Aww, well maybe Gizmo will be able to visit again.

Misty Shores, I hate to admit that I miss a cat, but I’m kind of hoping he comes back for visits.

How do we get in contact with those ppl so we can get rid of our cats? Speaking of cats.. I Ginger know these ppl who for a few treats can make scratchy disappear….. they do charge interest and ask for a few favors in return… but they do make the cat disappear! Muwahahahaha

Ginger, I’ll keep that in mind. I’m still hoping Scratchy will have a younger person that I don’t know about that will come and take him away. I didn’t have to pay anything to get rid of Gizmo.
