Busy Monday Morning

I love Mondays. They are either two things around here: crazy busy or super slow. Either way it’s good for me. This morning was super busy. Mandy got up fairly early, and as soon as Sam left, she drank her coffee and jumped in the pool. She even let me go back outside! I had to promise not to eat any frogs. I tried to play with some bugs but Mandy reminded me that they were not going to bother her, so I didn’t need to get them. Then I discovered the most amazing thing! FISH! Mandy has this little tub of water full of moving fish! Peyton has found these fish, and told me about them, but I have never seen them before. This morning they were swimming all over the place. Mandy kept telling me I could not play with the fish. Duh Mandy! After that frog it will be a long time before I bite into anything moving. But these fish swam and swam all over the tub. The big one jumped out of the water and scared me. I jumped down and ran away. Then I had to watch again to see if they would jump some more. They did! It was pretty cool. But I got a little wet so I will watch from a distance. Mandy says if I go fishing that I will be in deep trouble. I don’t think I want to know what kind of deep trouble. She sounded pretty serious.

Then Mandy came in and got all ready only to pull out Vacuum. I hate Vacuum. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. I hate Vacuum. At Old Home, Mandy only vacuumed a few times a month. Now she pulls Vacuum out a few times a week. I think it must be the soft stuff on the floor. So I’ll say it one more time…I hate Vacuum. Today Vacuum came under the bed. I mean clear under the bed. I think he was trying to eat me. I mean he sucks up all my fur, my food, my toys if I don’t pick them up, and now he’s coming after me! Sometime I’d like to show Vacuum what I think of him. I constantly scratch my Scratcher and leave parts of it all over the house so that Vacuum will see how fierce I am. I know where Vacuum lives. Sometimes I go to his closet and attack from under the door. I think Vacuum might be a little nervous because of my sharp claws. But he still comes out. Someday I will get the best of Vacuum.

This weekend was pretty relaxing--except Mandy had to put that icky bug stuff on us. I hate it. I have learned not to lick it though, but Peyton has not. Every time Mandy or Sam puts that stuff on us, Peyton has to go and lick it. It always makes him sick. This time he was foaming pretty good, and Mandy had to clean him up. He wasn’t laughing about the frog anymore. Now we are even. Poor guy, it took him a few days to feel better. But this morning we got in a good round of brain mashing before Mandy told us to be gentle. She always says she doesn’t want to clean up our brains, but we’re just cats. We play Mandy. Get over it.

Well, I guess I’ve gone on long enough for now. Besides I hear a bell calling my name. That means it’s PLAY TIME! MEOW!!!

TTYL,
