Diary – April 2004

May 3, 2004 By: Sparkle Cat1 Comment

Busy Bodies

Busy playing, that is

And if she could read them, she probably wouldn't follow themThis has been such a busy month. It started when some delivery guy dropped off two huge boxes. When the humans opened them, all we saw were planks of wood and some instructions. Binga had to check out the instructions even though she can’t read.

My human’s boyfriend put the wood together and it turned out these things were bookcases. Binga enjoyed sitting inside the smaller one, but my human thought she would make a lousy bookend.

For one thing, there would need to be two of her

I preferred using it as a perch so I could watch the birds.

Now if only someone would set up a bird-door so they could fly inside...

Boodie was frustrated - it got in the way of her fur spreading activitiesThat was only the beginning. Then one of the worker guys came by and filled in some gouges to the upstairs ceiling that the electrician guy made when he put in that hideous fan. The steps were completely covered with a sheet for a couple of days.

This would make a great cat bed!Then my human’s boyfriend brought home a couple of bass guitars. He was doing something to them for this guy — I don’t know what. Frankly, I didn’t care what he had to do; I just wanted to check out the cases they came in.

Binga really made herself at home in one. I hope the owner of the basses isn’t allergic to cats.

But the most exciting thing that happened was that my human and her boyfriend made their annual trip to the Pet Expo. This time they didn’t bring home any food samples (well, the dog got a couple, but she doesn’t count) — there were toys, however. As usual, my human made a couple of dorky choices. I think the stupidest one was this little plastic penguin. How many seconds do you think that thing lasted until it slid under a piece of furniture, never to be seen again?

This thing is miniscule! It It's also stupid and useless

And she brought home a dollar bag of catnip just like .

Cheap, homemade and not even that potent

Binga and Boodie think the catnip bag rules. I just don’t get it. Catnip has little appeal for me.

But for once my human got something really cool — a DVD made especially for cats.

Cat TV for me!

Boodie and I thought it was fascinating! Kind of frustrating too — I mean, how do you get to those creatures through the glass?

It's like having a window in the middle of the room They need to make it so you can actually catch these things

Binga didn’t like the DVD. She thought we were nuts.

She and my human both think TV is a waste of time

Something bad is coming, I know it...So I was enjoying myself and minding my own business when my human informs me that she got something special “just for me.” When she says things like that, it makes me nervous. She showed it to me and I didn’t like the looks of it.

Sure enough, she made me wear it. How humiliating!

My life has just been ruined. Again

Even worse, she made me walk the balance beam with it on. I felt like a clown.

It's harder to balance with this thing flopping around on your neck Are we DONE yet?

That would have driven anyone to drugsMuch to my relief she took it off eventually. But wearing it stressed me out so much that I decided that maybe I’d sneak a little whiff of that catnip bag… when no one was looking, of course.

No one will ever know how much I love this little bag of nip
