Diary – July 2006

August 3, 2006 By: Sparkle Cat1 Comment

Chaos!

And it's non-cat created chaos at that

Binga got a new collar. It’s nowhere near as nice as mine, of course.

Some cheap thing from the pet store But then, she's not a fancy cat, like me

That’s not the only change that’s going on around here. In fact, the whole house has been in chaos! It has something to do with this guy my human keeps calling “the Realtor®.” Sounds ominous, doesn’t it? In any case, my human and her boyfriend moved a whole bunch of furniture, apparently because of this Realtor®.

Boodie has no clue what is going on Whatever it is, I don't like it
 

This place is a bigger wreck than ever

They also boxed up a bunch of stuff and carted it away. Boodie just had to sit in every box she could find, big and small. She’s lucky she didn’t get carted away too.

I wonder if that book has any info about cat grass in it Definitely does not fit in that box

There are few things as disappointing as an empty roomThey almost completely emptied out the huge closet in their bedroom. Now Binga’s allowed to go in there as much as she wants. Of course, it’s not as interesting without all the stuff in it.

Meanwhile, my favorite painter came in and painted my human’s boyfriend’s music room. I like him because he’s a cat person. He also has drop cloths I like to roll around on.

He's also in a cool band called The Hangmen

My human kept trying to do stuff to make the house look, as her boyfriend put it, “like real people live here.” One of her projects involved some shelves for the upstairs bathroom. The shelves had been sitting in an unopened box for some years — almost as long as I’ve been here. She was all excited because she said that now that the bathroom was done, she could put up the shelves. She laid all the pieces on the floor and got ready to assemble them. We cats, of course, did our best to help.

Touching noses and joining forces Boodie let Binga do all the grunt work

Binga was not surprised by my human's stupidityUnfortunately, there was one thing we couldn’t help her with. The contraption wouldn’t fit behind the toilet like it was supposed to. Even after her boyfriend carved a space for the handle, it still wouldn’t fit, so my human had to junk the whole idea.

She had other projects in store, however, like putting brand new sheets on the bed. Binga was excited.

It's hard to screw up bed sheets

Boodie was dubious about the whole thing. She laid on the package the bedspread came in and waited for her chance to get cat fur all over everything.

New sheets are always a concern - are they cat fur friendly? Itching to spread cat fur

Binga beat her to it.

The light colored bedspread contrasts nicely with her dark fur

Personally, I prefer lying under the bed. I even made a hammock out of the bottom of the box springs.

Way more comfortable than it actually looks

But the weirdest thing of all is that my human had a bunch of people bring all new furniture into the living room. Furniture that she didn’t even like! She called it “staging” the room, and apparently she’s paying a bunch of money to do this. I totally don’t get this staging thing. I’m not so sure about the furniture either.

These things smell funny This table is just not my style

Binga didn’t care. She immediately made herself at home.

Plotting methods of destruction

I was frankly a little miffed that they put a picture of the dog on the table.

Even more reason to hate it

Even more annoying — my human told me I couldn’t sharpen my claws on the brand new rug. So I am not happy with this new living room decor either.

What good is decor if you can't use it? Dying to put my claws to good use

With all this excitement going on, no wonder I got sick. I was limping and having a hard time jumping on stuff, so my human immediately whisked me off to my least favorite place in the world, the veterinary clinic. I hate that place so much I even prefer staying in my carrier, which I don’t like, either.

Being weighed like a piece of meat Just take me home to the stupid staged furniture

They took x-rays but couldn’t find anything. The vet assumed I must have bruised myself at some point and gave my human some pills that I’m supposed to take. I actually got to see my x-rays. It was amazing. I’m even lithe and graceful on the inside.
