Time to See the V.E.T.

GEORGE

Hey...I got some mail.  (adjusts glasses)  Mom, I think I need new glasses.  I can hardly see this small print.

MOM

I know, dear!  I can't see right either.  Here, let me see if I can tell what it says.

OK, "Pet Name: George" 
 "Service due: Rabies Feline Special"

GEORGE

What does that mean?

MOM

It means you have to get a shot. 

GEORGE

What!  Oh no, I don't think so.  I don't want to get shot. 

MOM

It's important, dear, to keep you healthy.  But look George, did you see this?  Look at the back.  It's a picture of you.

GEORGE

What?  Let me see that.  You're right..it IS me!  How did I get on that card?

MOM

Remember when we took you to your new doctor last year when you weren't feeling well?  He took a picture of you.

GEORGE

Gosh, what a handsome devil I am!   That doctor is OK, Mom.  I guess it's alright if we go see him again.

TIPPER, MAX & MISTY

What about us?  Do we have to go, too?

MOM

Yes, everyone is going.

TIPPER, MAX & MISTY

Will we get our pictures taken?

MOM

Yes.

TIPPER, MAX & MISTY

Yay! 

BIG News!

GEORGE

Big news, friends...BIG, BIG news!  We are moving into our own house in a week.  Yes, FINALLY!!
 
You know what this means, right?  It means we won't have to live in a bedroom in our human sister's house.  We'll have our OWN house and we can be wherever we want to be just like in our old house. 

TIPPER

Will we have more windows to look out?

GEORGE

Of course!  We'll have a whole house full of windows. 

MAX

Where will our food bowls be?

GEORGE

Probably in the kitchen, but I'm not sure.  Mom hasn't brought me over to see the new place yet.

MISTY 

Will we have a yard with birdies in it?

GEORGE

Mom said our back yard has 2 trees and we will have birdie feeders just like we did in Whisk-onsin.

But, you know the best thing of all...Mom be able to get back to taking pictures of us and will show all our friends our new house.  As soon as I have everything fixed the way I want it I'm thinking of arranging some guided tours, free of charge to our CB friends, of course.

In the meantime, can I get a

Happy Purrthday Tipper & Max

TIPPER

Today's our purrthday.

MAX

Yeah, I know.  I'm 8 and I'm OLD!

TIPPER

You!  What about me?!  I'm in the double digits now...I'm 10!!!

MAX

Is Mom having a party for us?

TIPPER

Um...(looks around)...I don't see anything different here in the bedroom.  Look in the bathroom to see if she hid any stuff in there.  And don't forget to look under the sink.

MAX

No, there's nothing in here that I haven't seen before. 

TIPPER

So, that means no cake, no ice cream and, most important...no presents?

MAX

I guess not.  Oh no.  Tipper, Mom FORGOT about our purrthdays!

TIPPER

Well, you know what, we're going to invite our friends over anyway.  We have our 4-shelf cat perch by the window and the big bed and the clean laundry piles and we have plenty of toys.  Kittens can play in the bathtub so they stay out of  trouble and I can  put my paw on the radio button to make music.  And we can turn on the television by stepping on the remote thing.

MAX

What about food and treats?  Don't forget...we need plenty of treats!

TIPPER

Are you kidding?  There's a huge bag of food in the closet and I saw Mom put 10 cans of food in there, too.  And there are 2 big bags of treats in the nightstand drawer. And, you know what else I saw in there...'NIP!   Don't worry, we have everything we need.

MAX

Well, if you think it's OK.

TIPPER

Of course it's OK.  Come on everyone!  Come over and help Max and me celebrate our purrthdays!!

Cat Desk Shelf

GEORGE

Now this...this shelf thing...THIS is the best idea I've seen in a long time.  It's exactly what I need to relax in comfort while I snoopervise Mom doing her work.  It'll support up to a 20 lb. cat so will work great for me, but for big guys like Max...well...if Max laid on there it might collapse!

MAX

Are you saying I'm fat?!



GEORGE

I happen to know you weigh more than 20 lb.

MAX

I've told you before, it's all floof & muscle!

GEORGE

(sigh) If you want to see more about this shelf go here.

Now, where did Mom put her plastic monies card?

Misty is 7 Years Old

MISTY

Hi everyone.  Today is my 7th purrthday and Mom says now I'm a Senior Catizen.  How can that be?  I'm just a kitten, right?  (peers at self in the mirror)  Tipper, do I look different to you?  Do I have any wrinkles or grey hair?

TIPPER

Of course you have grey hair...you're ALL grey!

MISTY

That's not what I meant!  I meant, do I look (gulp) OLD?!

TIPPER

You look fine to me. 

MISTY

Well, I think I'm still young so I'm going to act young!  Everyone come over and help me celebrate my purrthday!  We're going to play with my toys and jump all over and eat ice cream and play some more and open presents and eat 'nip cake and chase balloons and dance and and...oh my, I feel tired just thinking about all that. (yawn)  Maybe I should take a little nap before my guests get here. 

March Update

GEORGE

Our very good friends (and some of our oldest CB friends), The Meezers & Billy, have asked us for an update, which is long overdue.

Hmmm...where to begin.

First, we're all OK, still living in our human sister's upstairs bedroom/bathroom.   Mom says I'm getting skinny 'cause at 15 I'm a real Senior Catizen now, so she's giving us stinky goodness more often. 

MAX

Yeah!  How 'bout like every day, Mom?

GEORGE

Mom says you're too fat, Max, and you don't need stinky goodness every day.   But I get it as often as I want, 'cept I have to eat in the bathroom with the door closed otherwise You-Know-Who gets it first!

MAX

Hmppff!  It's all floof & muscle...ALL of it!!

GEORGE

Whatever. 

Tipper and Misty are their usual selves and sleep on Mom's pillow every night.  Mom wakes up with major bedhead every morning and has to wash her hair every day 'cause of them.

TIPPER

We like to make biscuits in Mom's hair 'cause it's soft.

MISTY

And it smells nice, too.

GEORGE

Can I please get back to what I was talking about!

(sigh)  Anyway, after taking forEVER, our old house in Whisk-onsin is finally sold and another family will live there.  The important thing about this is I don't know if they have cats or not.

Mom says soon, probably in a few months, we'll be living in our own house here in Arid-zone and we'll be allowed to be in more than one room.  When that happens we'll be able to start blogging more often 'cause we'll be where Mom can see us all day and take pictures and stuff.

Until then, we'll just try to get around and visit as often as we can.   Oh, and do updates more often!

Happy Valentine's Day

MISTY

We wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day, and I'm sending extra love 'specially to you, Speedy, my handsomest boyfriendcat!
