Diary – July 2008

August 3, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

Stuff and More Stuff

This is how I would pose for an official portrait

My human took my belated birthday coupon to PetSmart and cashed it in. This is the cheap trinket she came back with. She woke me up from a nap to present it to me.

Cheap trinket is putting it mildly Nevermind. My expression says it all

Apparently, it’s a fluffy kitty dumbbell. Ahem, like I really need a workout.

Colorful and utterly useless How about I use my jaws for something ELSE besides picking up this thing?

Binga and Boodie, on the other hand, could use a bit of exercise. Binga is not convinced about this.

Binga is unmoved

Surprisingly, Boodie gave it a try but she soon abandoned it for other, more interesting endeavors. Like sleeping.

I think she mistook it for something edible Her laziness is infectious

But not for long. My human took Boodie into the enclosed patio for a brushing. I was stunned at how much fur she raked out of Boodie’s coat. I think there was a whole ‘nother cat hidden in there.

It was mind-boggling! I hope my human isn't thinking of adopting it

All the better to cover them with furThe humans have been really busy this month. They ran off somewhere called Rocklahoma and left us in care of a petsitter lady. She actually spends the night with us, so they changed the bedsheets for her. Binga loves fresh bedsheets.

It's like trick or treat in JulyWhen they got back, they went to some open house event held by a pet supply distributor. When they returned they had a bag full of goodies for us cats. Oh, and the dog, but who cares about her?

I was amazed by all the stuff we got!

But is any of it really worthwhile?

Binga was more amazed by the bag. I think bags are for sitting on, personally.

Not sure what she's looking for I claim this bag as mine

Most of it was samples of cat food, which is always potentially frightening. The human idea of what tastes good has little in common with what us cats are willing to eat. That said, there were some good selections. The By Nature organic cat food was tasty enough that I didn’t want to share with Boodie.

Not as thrilled with the Mulligan Stew Go away. I thought you were on a diet

There were some also some treats that were pretty good.

At least I liked them for a couple of days

After my behavior over the organic cat food, Boodie wasn’t sure she wanted to share with me.

All right, I apologize for the diet crack She thinks she's posing for an ad

But the best score was the awesome Tiki cat food! Just look at it — how could anyone resist?

A small can of nirvana I'm surprised my human didn't try to eat it

It was so good that I was really disappointed the next night when it was just my usual cat food pouch — even though I do like my pouch food a lot.

I want my Tiki!

What do you MEAN this isn't mine?The month ended badly, however. I found out that my human might not let me keep my Enchanted Castle birthday gift! She says it was just “for show,” and she really was planning to send it off cross-country to some… some human!

She even started packing up some of it. Boodie is distraught over the news.

No fair! Go ahead - break our hearts

As sort of a consolation gift, my human brought out a “real” cat toy — some remote controlled mouse thing.

The box is probably better than the actual toy It looks even dumber unwrapped

Like most of those overly-elaborate toys, it was really lame, although it got Boodie’s attention for about 2 minutes.

No replacement for the Enchanted Castle Boodie had to make sure it was really not a mouse

Cat Law: when it defies explanation, blame humanThen to make things even worse, we had an earthquake! It was the most horrible thing ever. I hid under the bed for two hours. My human acted as if it were no big deal, which only leads me to believe that this earthquake was actually her fault! She’d better not do it again, or I will be really mad.
