Kittens 'n Things

I know Mikey’s birthday is tomorrow, but I’m not so sure he’s going to make it to 13!

In other words, he’s been very, very naughty for the past two days! You know those days, where they get on your very last nerve!

Well, Mikey is walking on thin ice. Or should I say “running and flying leaping” on thin ice.

Yesterday, in particular, he was particularly rambunctious. Besides spending his time jumping up on my lap, putting his head on my hands as a pillow (while they were on the computer keyboard)–which is his usual routine–he would sometimes take a flying leap and land on the back of the couch.

Then I was hearing a scratching noise and all at once saw a flash of a tail as he ran into the living room and jumped up on a chair, knocking over anything in his wake.

By the time I got to him, he was already down and running in another direction.

I do believe we’ll have to have a little talk.

P.S. And Billy there in the photo with Mikey is in on the antics. In fact, I’m pretty certain they play off of each other…what one won’t do, the other one will!

Okay, that’s an exaggeration. But some days, this cat is Excedrin headache 302 inducing!

He’s going to be 13 on July 1, (he won’t let me forget it!) which in people years is near 70, but he still has a lot of “vim and vigor” and can run circles around all the other “Boys” (his brothers)–even though we recently learned he has a heart murmur!

Today, he’s trying to help me write my ezine by sitting on my lap and putting his head on the computer keyboard.

And if you have ever had a cat sitting on your lap with his head on top of your fingers that are on the keyboard, you know how that goes–you can barely type!

Not only that, but what you do type sometimes looks like this “lzjdlupaowiur dfloeri.”

But I love him anyway and will just make a few minor adjustments to accommodate his antics.

In the end, he’ll get his “attention,” which is all he really wants (unless it’s a bite of food, maybe). And I’ll eventually get my computer things done.

Win win!

Yours in keeping your kitty occupied,

P.S. Did you see our last issue of our ezine, Cat’s Meow? If not, you’re not on our list…you can get yourself there by leaving your name and email address in the box over there >>> to the upper right.

I know, I know!

It’s still too early but Mikey wanted me to be sure everyone knows his birthday is next week; Thursday, July 1, to be exact! In fact, that’s his “actual.”

And he wants…oh, I don’t know…we’re still working on that.

He’ll be 13, which I understand in cat years is about 70. But I just know he’s still “two!”

Not certain yet if we’ll have a kitty party, but we will have cake. Store-bought birthday cake because Mikey really likes the “creme!” (Our Hy-Vee store makes the cakes and then frosts some of them with a “whipped topping!”)

Yum, yum!

We had such a good time at the Cat Olympics” this past late winter, it seems like the perfect opportunity to maybe revisit “the games” again now.

Or at least I found this video ^^^ at YouTube that shows some really neat moves for any red blooded kitty to begin practicing…or maybe they can do some of these moves already!

P.S. Thank you everyone for continuing to stop by to see what “The Boys” are up to–even on days when we haven’t much, if anything, to say. We do so appreciate all your thoughts and comments!
