Thanksgiving Fun

This week has been very busy, and I have not taken the time to update you because we had a house full of people! I wondered if people were coming when Mandy started doing some company cleaning, but she moves so slowly now that Stella has arrived. Mandy spends a lot of time with that tiny person, and they mainly sit on the couch or in a chair. Stella eats a lot, because it seems like whenever I come over to sniff at her, she’s eating again.


Well anyway, last week Sam left Mandy cooking in the kitchen. They had been busy all day and when Sam left I thought things might slow down a little, but when Sam came home he brought people with them! It was Half-sized human and his parents! It took me a while to recognize Half-sized human because he is not so small and everyone called him Tim. So, since he is hardly half-sized anymore I guess I will call him Tim too. Anyway, Tim was overly excited to play with me and at first it was rather unsettling. However, he played with my toys and I couldn’t let him play alone. Sometimes he was a little rough and I would run and hide in the bedroom, but I always came back out to play with him. Since that tiny person has come into our home, Mandy and Sam have not played with me as often as I would like, and having Tim here to play with me was exciting! Sometimes I would come out and look for him, but sometimes he would hide upstairs so I couldn’t play with him. Maybe I was too rough for him? But even if we both spent time hiding in our rooms I still had fun playing!

This morning Peyton came out and begged Mandy to go outside. Mandy let us both go outside, and it was cold! Peyton made a new friend, who was very bold. This cat didn’t leave no matter how hard I tried to scare him off. Mandy even came outside but was unable to scare this bold cat off. Peyton, of course, followed this bold cat around and they sat nose to nose for a long time and talked. Mandy tried to take Bold Cat’s picture, but he would run when the camera came out. Strange how Mandy couldn’t chase him off, but the camera sent him running. He must not want his ugly mug frozen in time. Eventually Sam and Mandy made Peyton come in, because Bold Cat was making everyone nervous. I was thankful when Peyton was safe in our house. I did not like Bold Cat.

Mandy says since I was unable to update life for Thanksgiving, that I should let you know all the things for which I’m thankful. First I’m thankful for Peyton, for without him I would have no one to bite. I’m thankful for Sam and Mandy because they love me. I’m thankful for my house, because it’s a cold dark world beyond my screen. I’m also thankful for my food, crunchies, and catnip. I’m still debating if I’m thankful for Stella, but I know Mandy and Sam are very happy to have her in our home, so I guess I don’t mind her. She likes to watch me and makes cute little sounds at me, so I can deal with that.

Well, I think I hear Stella waking up, so I am going to go check on her.
