Floor Competition

01 Jul

This is so ridiculous! It’s dog abuse. Of the worst kind.

Here’s what happened.

I was minding my own business, taking a nap in the hall, when my people called me over to do my dogly duty.

Taking care of something that was spilled on the floor.

I understand it’s a dog’s job to clean up spills and usually I appreciate the work.

But this time there was only one thing spilled.

And you know what it was? An olive.

I hate olives!

How could my people abuse me so much by telling me to clean up something so disgusting?

So after I refused to do my dogly duty Scratchy decided to get into the act.

He came over to my person and started begging.

Scratchy never begs. He hardly likes anything but cat food.

And you know what my person did?

She gave Scratchy some of the tuna out of her sandwich.

And then a piece of lettuce dropped out of her sandwich.

Scratchy ate it.

Scratchy doesn’t like lettuce. He’s never eaten a piece of lettuce in his life.

I like lettuce.

There is not room in this house for two spill cleaners. Something’s got to be done.

By the way, if you think Scratchy is going to win out on the spill cleaning duties…

Scratchy didn’t eat the olive either.

Gizmo’s Gone

22 Jun

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?

Who’s into Mischief?

20 Jun

My person left the house early this morning. I don’t really like it when she does that, but it does give me more chances to get into mischief.

And what my person doesn’t know won’t hurt her.

So I got on her bed and messed it up. There’s two cats now, so I can always blame them if my person says anything.

I checked out the litter box. What?! My person cleaned it before she left? That’s not fair.

Then I looked to see if there was any cat food left.

This is not good. My person is getting better about remembering to put the cat food where I can’t reach it.

I hear somebody at the door. It can’t be my person. I didn’t hear her car. I heard another car though.

It’s my friend who comes sometimes when my person’s not here.

Don’t anybody tell my person that I have a friend over when she’s gone. I might get in trouble.

Hey wait a minute!

My friend let me go outside, but now she’s ignoring me.

She’s paying attention to Gizmo!

What is this?

Gizmo, go hide in the bedroom or something. This is my friend. She came to see me.

What do you mean, she was your friend first?

You used to live with her?

And now you live with me?

I don’t know what to make of this.

How can I have secret mischief if you’re the one having a friend over and not me?

Gizmo, I’m telling. You’re not supposed to have friends over when my – oh, I have to say “our” now – person is gone.

Posted Under Duress

05 Jun

This is unfair! This is totally not fair! My person is making me write a blog post about a cat. I’m writing this post totally under duress. I don’t even know what that word means, but I’m under it.

I barely even know this cat. He showed up at my house a couple days ago and every time I try to get to know him I get locked in the bedroom. I’m tired of getting left in the bedroom so I guess I’ll just ignore him for awhile.

But there’s a mystery to this cat. I recognize his smell. His smell has been sticking to some of my friends that visit sometimes. Maybe they got tired of having his smell on them. Oh no, that means his smell is going to be on my people instead.

Hey, how did that picture get here? How come that cat is sleeping there? I’ve never seen him sleeping on the back of the couch. Every time I see him he’s hiding under something, or behind something. How come he won’t come out when I’m around?

You want me to what, person? Tell everybody his name? I don’t even know his name. What is it? Scratchy Two? I sure hope not. That would really be bad.

Oh. His name is Gizmo. How come he’s here? Are my friends – the ones who smell like him – on vacation?

Oh. They had to move and couldn’t find a place that accepts pets? You mean Gizmo might be here for a long time? I’m stuck with two cats?

I don’t believe it. Gizmo is even trying to out-cute me.

Hey person, do you know anyone who has to move that has a dog?

Outnumbered

04 Jun

Scratchy, what are you doing? What’s back there behind that couch?

You’re not hiding something from me back there are you?

How come you’re not saying, Scratchy?

I guess I’d better check this out for myself.

What is that back there behind the couch?

That’s not what I think it is, is it?

Scratchy, what have you been doing?

Did you bring a friend in here?

This is terrible! What am I going to do? There are two of them now.

Scratchy, please tell me you just invited a friend over for the day.

It’s what? Today is Hug Your Cat Day?

And now I’ve got to hug two cats?

Okay Scratchy, come here. I’ll give you a hug.

Oh.

You don’t want me to hug you and you figured you’re safe now that this other cat is here.

Then he’s leaving as soon as I hug him, right?

I don’t think he wants a hug.

So what happens if I don’t hug him? He’ll still go away, right?

What!? June is Adopt a Cat Month?

If I don’t hug him, he stays?

I’m outnumbered! This is going to be a terrible month.

What I want to know is – what month is Trade a Cat for a Dog Month?

Bella

19 Apr

I woke up from my after the dog hotel nap long enough for my person to tell me a story about what she did while she was deserting me in the dog hotel.

And the story she told me doesn’t make any sense. I think something happened to her brain while she was gone.

She tried to tell me about a homeless cat she met while she was gone. I don’t know why my person would go all the way to Seattle to meet a homeless cat. We have homeless cats around here – well not around my trails, but in places not too far away from here.

Anyway, my person says this homeless cat she met is named Bella. I’m not sure how a homeless cat could have a name, and even if it did, how would my person know what it was.

But here’s the really strange part. This homeless cat not only has a name, she has a person.

So if Bella has a person, how can she be homeless?

What, person? Bella’s person is homeless? I didn’t know people could be homeless.

Well, maybe someone should give Bella a home and then Bella’s person could go there too.

You did what, person? You and a friend gave Bella some cat food?

I like cat food.

Maybe if I go outside and pretend I’m homeless somebody will give me some cat food.

You gave Bella a whole bag of cat food?

I think I’m going to find Bella. I bet she’s got enough to share.

Get that Shirt

05 Apr

What is it about my younger person? I just can’t seem to win with him.

You see what he’s wearing, don’t you?

He’s got a cat on his shirt.

I don’t care if it’s Grumpy Cat – a cat that is even more famous than me.

It’s still a cat. My younger person should not be wearing clothes with cats on them.

It’s sacrilegious, it’s terrible, it’s totally awful.

What? That’s what Grumpy Cat said, “It was awful.”?

This is really bad. Now I’m saying the same things as a cat.

I’ve got to get that cat. I’ve got to tear that cat right off my younger person’s chest.

But you know what my younger person did?

He grabbed my nose and I couldn’t do a thing about it. I couldn’t get anywhere near that cat.

I might have to sneak up on my younger person when he’s asleep to get that shirt.

And when I get it, it’s going to disappear. Maybe I could auction it off for treats. Whoever offers me the most treats can have it.

I’m sure they wouldn’t mind if it’s a little chewed up by the time I get it to them.

Treats and Loves Twice

08 Mar

Two times this week! Do you believe it? I got to go for a ride in the car and we stopped at the treats and loves place twice this week. That’s never happened before. At least that I remember.

That treats and loves place is pretty cool, but I still can’t figure out why my person keeps yelling at me when I’m in the car. She always wants me to lie down, and then she keeps yelling “back.” She’s sitting in the front of the car. I don’t know why I can’t be up there with her.

But I guess I’d better tell you what that treats and loves place is. No, it’s not the doggy spa. I’m too cool to go there. It’s the vet. They see me coming and they get out the treats. They love me there.

Don’t tell my person though – she doesn’t know because they left her behind and just took me into the room – but I had to work really hard for those treats. They poked needles in me. I’m not sure why they do that. Maybe they had to test to see which kinds of treats are my favorite. I could have told them that, though.

When I left they told me to say hi to Scratchy – so after we got in the car, my person yelled “back”, and we made it back home I hurried in the house to give Scratchy the hi.

And you know what Scratchy did?

He growled.

I guess they don’t give Scratchy treats and loves at the vet. I wonder why.

Payback

16 Feb

Scratchy had to go to the vet today. He wasn’t very happy about it.

But I’m pretty proud of myself. It’s my fault he had to go.

When I went to the vet the other day they found some nasty little bugs on me. I gave those bugs what for, but they thought I might have given Scratchy some.

I could have told them that Scratchy couldn’t possibly have gotten any bugs from me. Unless they ran up his nasty little claws. That’s the only part of Scratchy that ever touches me.

Oh wait, I did kiss Scratchy the other day. (Please don’t tell anybody.) But Scratchy was so rude he walked away right in the middle of my kiss.

So he deserves to have to go to the vet. Scratchy hates the vet.

Scratchy hates the vet so much that he has a black mark on his file there. It says “Attack Cat.”

Scratchy finally came home and I had him right where I wanted him. All caged up.

Darn, that door came open. Come on out, Scratchy.

Scratchy, what are you waiting for?

Never mind. I think maybe you should stay inside that cage.

***

Scratchy finally snuck out of the cage when I wasn’t looking.

He jumped on top of the kitchen cabinets…

and decided to pose as “ornament cat.”

Ornament Cat

07 Feb

Yesterday I had so much fun telling you about my first Gotcha Day that I thought I’d tell you some more old stories.

I ended yesterday’s story with the cat ornament that my people kept on top of the kitchen cabinets. That ornament was up there for a long time after my people brought me home. I don’t know much about how long time is, but my person says that ornament was up there for ten months.

It was so long that I forgot about it even being there. My person said it would sometimes come down to eat or do its business, but I never saw it come down.

Then one day that cat got tired of hanging around up there and decided to come down in broad daylight. And it turned out it wasn’t an ornament at all.

I got to meet Scratchy, the cat who lives at my house. I was really excited because now I had someone new to play with.

But Scratchy didn’t want to play with me.
