Diary – November 2006

December 3, 2006 By: Sparkle Cat1 Comment

Turkey Day

Isn't it torture to lock someone in a container and force them to listen to loud music?I wasn’t feeling right and couldn’t jump again so my human carted me off to the vet clinic where her boyfriend works. It’s located somewhere called “the West Side,” which is a long way from my house. Not only was the drive annoying, my human insisted on passing the time by listening to some of her stupid music cassettes from what she refers to as “the old days.” Apparently her car only plays cassettes, not the disc thingies. In any case, it may have made the drive better for her, but it did absolutely nothing for me.

But whatever. After all that time in the car, the head vet at her boyfriend’s clinic couldn’t figure out what was wrong, either. He said I checked out okay, and to just finish the medicine the other place gave me. So that’s what we did and I’m feeling much better now. My human was relieved. So was I — she started calling me a “ground squirrel,” which I found really, really insulting.

She'd better stay away from MY food!On top of being sick, I’ve also discovered there’s another cat living here! It’s very strange, though — the only time I see her is when I’m eating my dinner in front of the new silver trash can in the kitchen. She never seems to be anywhere else. I don’t really like her, but I guess as long as she has her own food, I don’t mind.

A couple of exciting things happened this month. First, the old electronic litterbox stopped working, so my human bought a new one.

It certainly made Boodie's week!

But that’s not the best part. What we cats really liked is the humongous box it came in!

A jumbo electronic litter box requires a jumbo cardboard box Even Binga looks small inside it

The other really thrilling event was Thanksgiving. This year the humans had it here! That meant we got to have turkey. It was quite exciting. I’d never seen a whole turkey before.

Not sure exactly what a turkey is, actually Doesn't move much for a bird. In fact, it doesn't move at all

Because some couple was coming over — the guy was apparently related to my human’s boyfriend — my human thought it might be nice to turn on the big watery thing out on the back patio. It’s called a “spa” and I’d never seen it with the cover off. It was kind of scary.

Wondering what is going on out there I couldn't believe my eyes!

It was funny - she was screaming at it to stop and it wouldn't behaveMy human seemed to think it was scary too, because she got kind of freaked out when she couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. Nobody wound up using it anyhow. I’m not sure why anyone would want to sit in a bunch of churning water. Sounds like recipe for disaster, if you ask me.

Back in the kitchen, Binga was cooking up her own recipe for disaster.

When it comes to disaster, Binga is a master chef

My human kept having to throw her off the counter. Both she and the dog kept hanging around.

Beggars, the both of them

And who could blame them, really? I mean, how could anybody not find this irresistible?

Don't you just want to bury your face in that?

Once she cooked all of it, she let us have some. Unlike Binga and the dog, I’m a lady. I insisted on having mine at the table.

Frankly, I would have preferred mine raw Maybe I should have also insisted on a plate

My human tried to make the table look festive with a cheap centerpiece but it wouldn’t sit up properly. Typical.

Another decorating failure. Why doesn't she just give up?

I think I make much better table decoration.

And I don't require any assembly

Vegetables and starch are a waste of timeUnfortunately my human didn’t agree, and the couple that came over brought a plant. They also brought over more food, none of it meat. My human thought this was great, but I felt it was pretty useless.

So finally the humans sat down and ate. But they had to keep an eye on Binga the whole time. She took every opportunity to get into trouble. The really stupid thing is everybody made such a big deal over her, just because she was friendly in addition to being nosey. I allowed the visitors to pet me a couple of times — that was way more special, in my opinion. Boodie mostly kept her distance. That was her loss, because it meant she missed out on the turkey.

Binga, in search of a secret snack

Now my human’s back to making me help her sell stuff on eBay. As you can see, I am far less than thrilled.

Who needs 365 cats when you have ME? I hate, hate HATE these bears!

More exciting is my new book! It’s three years’ worth of my advice column, and more. Now, that I don’t mind posing with.

I'm proud of my accomplishment! Cats only - no humans!
