The Box

Scratchy in the BoxI don’t know what Scratchy is thinking – but he does this every year. As soon as the Christmas tree comes out and my people put it up he jumps into the empty box. I wonder what he thinks he’s going to find in there.

It’s just a big old empty cardboard box – and pretty beat up too. I’d help finish it off by chewing on it, but I know I would get in trouble if I did. But Scratchy has to get in there every time. Maybe he thinks there’s a catnip garden inside – or some fun kitty toys. Maybe he thinks he’ll find a nice soft bed that he can fluff up with his paws and then curl up into. Maybe he knows that box is empty and he’s just got to check it out to make sure. You know, like box patrol. He’s got to make sure everything is okay with the box.

Once he’s gotten in the box and checked it out he doesn’t stay long. He jumps right back out of that box, like everything’s okay with the box for another year. I wonder what he’d do if that box appeared in the middle of the summer?

Working Hard

Bongo Cleaning the FloorMy person is messy in the kitchen and this time of year she really makes a mess. Little bits of things sprinkling down to the floor. She’s making cookies. She always does that this time of year, but it means I have to work extra hard to keep the kitchen clean.

You see, my job is to clean up the floor. I’m not sure why, but I’ve been assigned to that job ever since I’ve lived here. Lots of times there’s not much to clean up, but lately it’s been almost every night.

You’d think my person would give me a cookie or two for doing such a good job of cleaning. But no. Not only does she not give me a cookie, she threatens to brush my teeth after I’ve been working hard for her. I mean, I’m so good that I’m right in there while she’s still working – cleaning up around her feet.

I’ve got to go now. There’s some more cleaning to do. Oh yeah, don’t tell my person that I really like this floor cleaning job. I’m afraid if she knew that she’d take the job away from me and give it to Scratchy.

Under the Futon

Bongo after Scratchy under the futonI don’t get to go in the garage very often. That’s where my food is kept. Every once in awhile my person goes in there and lets me come in too. There are usually nuggets of food on the floor that one of my people dropped when they were getting food out for me so going in the garage is always a treat.

Well the other day Scratchy went in the garage. Hey! Any food in there is mine Scratchy. Don’t you dare eat it.

I was really upset with Scratchy for going in the garage. I was sure he’d eaten all my food, so when he came back in the house I chased him under the futon.

Scratchy hunkered down under there and the futon is high enough that I could get my head in there and get at Scratchy. It was kind of fun.

Ouch! Scratchy, when we’re playing like this you’re not supposed to use your claws.

Missing Bongo???

Scratchy on the DoorThis is Scratchy here again. Still hanging out in the house by myself. I’ve been wondering what to do so I decided to try a balancing act. I thought I’d see what my younger person has on the top of his bookshelf and the top of the door is the way to get there.

It was a little tricky getting up here and now I’ve got to figure out the best way to get down.

Okay, I admit it. I’m really bored and I had to make up something to tell you. After all, Bongo’s not around to know I’m on his blog so I’ve got to write something.

That picture of me is real, my person didn’t Photoshop it or anything, but she took it a long time ago. I’m not as spry as I used to be and besides, the furniture’s been rearranged and there’s no bookshelf near the door anymore.

I can’t believe I’m saying this. I’m actually missing Bongo.

Loneliness

Scratchy on the CouchThis is Scratchy here. Bongo’s not around so I guess I’ll take over his blog. It’s really quiet here. Everybody left me. No Bongo, no people – just me and the frog.

I wish my person had forgotten and left the bathroom door open. She keeps the frog in there so I can’t get it. That would be one tasty morsel. But no – she had to shut that door and all she left me is a big bowl of cat food.

I kind of miss everybody. Even Bongo. I pretend I don’t like him, but sometimes he’s kind of nice to have around to keep me company. Oops. Did I say that?

Never mind. I really miss my people. I miss the head rubs and being able to bug them for food at dinner time – and when they come home after Bongo’s stolen my food.

Well Bongo can’t steal my food now. He’s not here for a few days. Guess I’ll go make a dent in my great big bowl of cat food and then stretch out for a nap.

Move Off

Computer CatI don’t believe it. I headed to my (I mean my person’s – sorry) computer to write my blog and I found Scratchy sitting on it. And Scratchy wasn’t about to get off. The computer is a laptop and it was closed up, so there was no way I could use it with Scratchy there. I couldn’t even push him to the side. In other words, he had to move.

It would be one thing if he tried to steal my blog again. I could at least get on there when he finished and comment on what he said. But no. He didn’t even want to write. He just wanted to keep me from writing.

Well, finally I’d had enough and I jumped up at him. I don’t hurt him. I don’t even get close to him, but it usually gets him to move. My person doesn’t like it when I do that though so I got yelled at. At least Scratchy moved so I could get on the computer. I wish my person would think before she yelled at me though. How would she like it if Scratchy kept her from writing her blog?

Foot Washing

Scratchy getting his feet washed.Scratchy really got in trouble. I like it when it’s him and not me. It doesn’t happen very often, but it did this time.

My person has been really busy doing watercolor painting the last few days. She says that’s what her family is getting for Christmas. I wonder if she’ll give me a painting. I really like the paper and my person won’t ever leave her paintings where I can get to them. Just because I chewed up a painting my younger person did once – but that’s another story. I’m talking about Scratchy and how he got in trouble.

My person has a nice, wide counter between her kitchen and living room and she paints on that. Scratchy likes to get on that counter, even though he’s not supposed to. Well, my person had all her painting stuff out including a tray with wet paint in it. Yeah, you guessed it. Scratchy stepped right into that wet paint. My person grabbed Scratchy right away before he could step on anything else with those painty paws and took him over to the sink and washed him off.

Scratchy didn’t like it one little bit. Me, I was off in the corner snickering. About time it was you and not me, Scratchy.

Toss the Ball

Bongo and ScratchyYay! My person is coming back from Indiana tonight. It’s a good thing because my younger person is going away for the weekend. If my person wasn’t coming home she would make my younger person stay home with me – and then he’d probably be mad at me.

In the meantime Scratchy and I are standing watch, waiting for my person to get home. I can’t believe Scratchy cares, but here he is sitting next to me and waiting. I’ve got my ball ready for my person to toss. Scratchy, maybe you should get a piece of yarn or something. Actually, never mind. I don’t think our person can toss balls and twirl yarn at the same time. She may be good, but I don’t think she’s that good. At least she said she wasn’t that good and I want all the ball tossing time I can get.

No Place Safe

ScratchyI’m so disappointed. You see this picture of Scratchy here? He did that for a dog. And that dog wasn’t me. He’s never done that for me.

I guess I’d better explain a few things. This picture was taken a few years ago – before I came to live here. My person says she used to have different kitchen cabinets, and they went all the way to the ceiling. Scratchy couldn’t escape by jumping on top of the cabinets, so he did the next best thing. He got as far away as possible and then, well, you know the rest.

Scratchy says (yes, I talk to Scratchy every once in awhile) that dog didn’t even live here. She just came to visit for a few days and Scratchy didn’t like it one little bit.

I really don’t think it’s fair that a visitor dog got Scratchy to do something that I can’t get him to do. Scratchy hung out on top of those kitchen cabinets for ten months after I came to live here, but never once did he arch his back like that for me. Would anyone like to help me with a fundraiser to pay for my person to put the old kitchen cabinets back?

Tuna or Beans?

Scratchy going after tunaScratchy doesn’t eat much besides his cat food, but he loves tuna. When my person opens a can of tuna he comes running. I don’t know why, but my person gives him special treatment. She gives Scratchy all the tuna juice and I only get the leftovers. Whatever Scratchy doesn’t finish is what I get. It’s a good thing Scratchy’s only cat-sized because he gets more tuna juice than he can handle. Can you imagine if Scratchy was my size? I’d never get anything.

For some reason Scratchy thinks every can my person opens is a can of tuna. He hears that can opener going and he comes running to the kitchen. When he finds out my person just opened a can of beans he turns up his nose and walks away. I’ll take some beans.

No such luck. For some reason my person’s not in a sharing mood when she opens a can of vegetables. I’m not sure why.
