Taking The Bull By The Horns

Ah took the boool bah the horns last naght with feisty keetie here. She done charged me one too many tames - and dees was bah miss Bella's favorite spot mand ya. It's where we go to feel..powerful, seizing Bella's favorite scratch pad. So AH'm there, gloatin, having taken ovah the coveted spot when dat firecracker skidaddles ovah to me in a ..crass kand a way... So Ah had had enough. Ah gentleh grabbed her and turned her ovah on her belly, pinned her in da floor where she could do nuttin more. And Ah jumped from excitement to boot, mah white booties airborne off the floor.

Well, she realazed she'd gotten more than she'd bargained for. So she ran away from me and high tailed it up the steps and Ah couldn't resist but chase after her of it was the last thang I did. "Don't you mess with me, you little thang !! ",.Ah made mah point while we're upstairs. Ah came raght down after this, taking each step down slowly, satisfied Ah came on top.

The Type You'd Hear From Alleycats...

Ah got into a vocal brawl with Pipi in the dark keetchen while mom was upstairs and out of sight. Me and Pipi, we get into it you see... She's got a bad habit of getting into mah face since the beginning of tame and so Ah let out a street-lake scream.. The type you'd hear from brawling alleycats. Sure enough, mom comes down the steps with Katie leading who ran into Pipi coming out of the shadows... It was an awkward moment and Katie's ears flopped down. We had to break it up soon as we heard them coming.

Ah really didn't wanna be seen in a bad light so Ah pretended Ah was busy and walked over to the bowls and started munching right away.

Gettin' With The Program

I'm with the program now: Mom comes up to me and says: " You wanna treat ?!!' - and I drop what I'm doing, follow her to the kitchen, jump up on the counter next to where the treat bag is - and I wait.

[ Katie Kitty knows the moves like no one else in this house. ]

When I Hear Those Words...

"Mom likes to say, 'My beautiful cat'... And when I hear that, I start to purr." 

What We Have To Do

I started to do my toilette on the power seat but mom came over and had to take this picture and then tell me "we're gonna have to lose some of this belly...oh-yeah." 

So then I turned over and sat on my belly and hid it... And after that I chucked it altogether and followed her to the couch.

Pinkie's Demise

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:   'PINKIE'S DEMISE'


"As you may know, 'Pinkie' is my favorite toy.. Besides daddy-Googie and miss Pipi, he is my next best friend... I really liked to sit next to him a while back, especially.  So today, me and daddy were watching Katie Kitty go Krazy again.. I was on my new pink beddie, that nice round pink comfy thing that mom lady placed on my favorite chair where my old one was.   And from there, I watched Katie lose it..  She.. started going sideways, on the floor, up against the entire length of that.. uhm.. 'step' on the floor dat divides the "living room" from the "dining room".   Daddy Googie was just on top of that step close to me, watching her too... We both got mesmerized with her antics as she slithered up and down on her side, sometimes reaching out with her paw to get daddy's attention... and then suddenly getting up and flying in the other direction.

Well, when she came flitting back towards us, she ran into Pinkie... And Pinkie got kicked all across the floor.. He landed under the coffee table..  I watched him get kicked and I stared at him, dumbfounded.   Pinkie!!! I stopped watching the crazy cat and just stopped my eye on Pinkie for the longest time, worrying:  Is he okay?   Her antics were no longer of interest to me.   She kicked my PINKIE, okay?!!! "

Kat Katastrophe

KATIE KITTY'S KATASTROPHE: 

"I came back in mom's room and caught a whiff of that krazy-kat, "Getty" they call her.. She was in mom's closet!! So I walked on slowly in there - and I cornered her! Hah!! I surprised that ninny and ambushed ... we made quite a stir, haha!! I had her up against the wall under all of that mom-smelling stuff when she started flinging her paw at me and she got it stuck on one of mom's things and couldn't escape now.. So the ninny tried to threaten me with her low-growl as if that's really gonna scare me, hah!! So we kept on with this number for a little while, I really enjoyed cornering her like that! Besides: WHAT was SHE doing in mom's closet? I had to teach her a lesson. 

So mom comes in there - and it's MY time to get the heck on out.. And now krazy-Getty is once again cornered with mom coming in .. So mom bails her out, gets her claw unstuck, Getty slaps her one and scurries off out. I see her all bend out of shape coming outta there and I pounce at her. "Hey YOU!! You! No, no!! You can't act like this!! Off you go! Under the bed where you belong!! That's it!!! "..

And so, that's how it ended.. Katie Kitteh chased Little Getty under the bed. And then Getty jumped on the bed to be with daddy, licking his paw, and Katie seized the moment again and ran her off the bed just now..

Perturbed By The Dinner Bowl

BELLA'S BITS: 

"I got completely perturbed when mom here tried to get me to my dinner bowl and she touched me with dirty hands... Some food got on my fur and it really perturbed me, I stopped and started grooming IMMEDIATELY. I couldn't even get to my dinner, this took priority. 

I was displeased... " 

Thangs We Hissed Today

GOOGIE'S WORLD:

Thangs were as usual today.. Mom served us breakfast, Ah sauntered up and down each room, eenspecting... Saw mah leetle Getty looking out the window.. And Ah came upon big-Bella sitting her fluffass pretteh awn that very 

spot she eensists awn taking ovah. Ah stopped and lowered mah face down to hers, evah so subtleh.. "What chu doin' here? Didn't Ah tale you, you gotta git awn down to your own space down below?".

"NO! you dork! This is MY spot, don't you ever GET it?!!", she hissed at me. Well, at that point, momma done got weend of me and mah doings so she told me to leave Bella alone.. So Ah cawntinued sauntering toward the kitchen as if nutting happened. But mah message was not lost. When Ah came back out, big Bella was gone. And AH took ovah the coveted spot.

When mom finally realized what had happened, Ah wouldn't budge. Ah avoided looking at her at any cost. Regardless of what she was sayin' to me.

 

Daddy's Misgivings

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

I saw daddy Googie come out of the kitchen and happily jumped off my seat to go greet him, it was my chance to connect today. I got close and tried to buttbonk him as usual but he kept on walking ....

Walking awa

y..

Well I.. I did not expect that.. Confused and startled, I turned my head around to watch him, he kept walking across the room further and further away from me. He looked over to that minx, Katie.. She suddenly appeared out of nowhere to present herself to him.   

Miss Bella watched the whole scene quietly from her spot, disgusted I'm sure. 

So daddy just kept walking toward mom lady now, at least he didn't stop by Katie.. That woulda hurt me so much!!

 

A Ritual Skipped - For Good Reason

PRINCESS: 

"I've been feeling pretty chipper.. So much so, I had to bolt and zip around the room a few times earlier today.. I was just excited, I guess. But I know the drill, so when mom started to call me tonite? I didn't show up for o

ur "beddie-bye" time.. Even though that's our ritual, I always come up to be with her before she turns in.

This time I skipped it cause I knew what was gonna happen: She was gonna stick that thing in my mouth again.

[Princess didn't want her pill tonite.. ]

Cat Pack Politics

KATIE KITTY: 

"I was laying in the big corner chair for the night until I got wind of a skirmish between daddy Googie and miss Bella downstairs. I got worried and jumped down from my comfortable spot to go out and investigate. I came up

 to the top of the steps and met up with miss Princess who was already there. She too was kind of worried, trying to see what was going on down there.  She turned to me as I leaned over to nose tip her and see what SHE thought of the matter.

"It's okay, missy... Just go back to your place.. ". I took my cues and did just that..

A Butt-Bonk and A Hairball

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

"I jutt helped miss Princess cause she got sick. I was butt-bonking her right outside da kitchen, puttin' my butt up against her face. And right at that moment she started heaving and I did not realize what was happening until a few butt-bonks later.. when a hairball was.. uhm, released.

Good ting it didn't stick to my butt!.. I had to quickly run for cover after I got my reality check.

Reigning In The Young One

BELLA:

 "I have reigned in the young one... I enter the kitchen, stop suddenly and stare at her over where she's standing a few feet away.

"You just be careful what you do missy; I'M here now and I'M watching you." - Once she gets 

my meaning through my laser-beam, she freezes for a while staring back at me and then she moves freely again.

Mission accomplished - I proceed to walk to my place without further incident

Mending Cat Fences

KATIE KITTY'S KAHOOTS: 

"I have learned to watch out for miss big-Bella... I won't tell you all exactly what happened but.. I won't bother her anymore.. I have been told more than one way, by more than one cat in the pack including mom, that miss Bella is not to be f--ed with [teenager cat's expression :)) ].

Anyway, so.. I now try to redeem myself. Like when miss Bella started to come out of the kitchen and she saw little Getty in her way. So she had to stop and wonder about this little lost one.. there was tension and I saw it. So I scooted away little Getty. "Up, up!!! Get back up on your chair! ", I chided and hurried her back up there.

I then turned to look at miss Bella: "Okay? The coast is clear now ma'am..." Miss Bella continued on her path, thanks to ME.

Seriously?

This is the face Katie Kitty made the night she watched big Bella across from her kissing mommy.

She had to keep stealing these side looks and keep tabs on Bella on the right side of this picture (out of view) who was keeping mom company by her shoulder against the top of the couch.  

Tisk, tisk.. Jealous kitties.

A Stranger Floatng By The Window

PRINCESS: 

"I pretty much had that kind of look in my face just a little while ago when mom discovered me. She discovered a mound actually, under the blanket. In the spare bedroom. I had crawled under the blanket to hide...And hide well 

from some stranger who knocked on our walls ... I knew he was out there..and I sensed danger.

"Somebody's out there mom! I can hear it, I can feel it! " I tried to tell her when she got me out of my hiding, my ears pointing back and forth toward the window. She plopped me on the window sill and told me it was "okay". Well.. I don't know about that. She brought me my bowl and tried to coax me to eat and it smelled good but.. I kept looking up at the window.

[Our neighbors have a roofman working nearby our spare bedroom. :) ]

Still At It, Kid?

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:

"We were all by the kitchen when mom lady started to walk in - and caught me in the midst of walking out, I was in her path. So I stopped and my ears began to go down... I couldn't help it again, I got that frozen 

expression in my face where time stands still ... Daddy Googie was right behind me and that bad-girl Katie was by mom lady's side. Mom lady stopped and tried to tell me "it's okay" but I started to walk backwards, my ears getting flatter and flatter. I took refuge behind daddy-Googie's fluffy butt where I belong and feel safe. As I walked backwards, I passed him by as he leaned down to nose-tip me: "You awkay, hawney?" while I crawled still backwards and stood by his side.

Mom lady then turned to Katie and brushed her fingers over her head, that minx just loves it, she pushed her whole body upwards and into the palm of her hand, showing off and all... Huh. I crouched and watched behind daddy's orange fur.

And den miss Bella walks in, right between mom lady and me and daddy, trying to assess the situation.. She looked at me cowering behind daddy. "You're still at it, are ya kid?", she went as she gazed at me. Before she could even see it coming, Katie's paw landed on her face. That paw must've bounced off of miss Bella's face at least twice before she retreated backwards herself. And she did it right in front of mom lady's knees, she was DAT close..

I was just glad to be out of the way.

 

Pawing Injustice

BELLA:

"It was time to go to the kitchen - it was as simple as that. Everyone was gathered there already, mom was kneeling down in front of Googie, that I could see.  So I started my walk towards them and came up on her left sid

e. Suddenly, I stopped when I realized that baby-Getty was having another one of her fits, she was crouching next to Googie.   

I knew why and I knew what to do: I stepped forward in front of mom, facing Googie and Getty, trying to calm her fears.   

Just at that point, I was suddenly assaulted.  A paw came flying at me out of nowhere and before I could get back my senses, it came at me a couple more times right on my face. "There! There you big boor! How dare you come this close to me!!? ", that little turd hissed at me. I realized then as I turned my head that the dirty, bad-cat girl was there to mom's right... I got slapped by a young delinquent - again.

I was beside myself, I hissed away and backpedalled back to my scratching post. Mom always has to apologize for this bad-cat and I get to vent to her as the steam comes out of my ears while she's petting me on my head.

Feline Feedback

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

"There are times when I might start to run away from mom lady, and then I'll stop in the middle of my flight: I become aware that the others are all staring at me. And that will stop me in my tracks, I get embarrassed and feel like a freak. So I stop and scoot down and look back at them while mom lady is still somewhere nearby..

"Whaaaat?!.. " 

Ringy-Dingy Paws Off

"Mom came home and me and Bella greeted her bah the steps. Soon as she closed dat door behand her, she kneeled down and trahd to greet us. Bella was marking everythang around her while mom turned to me. Well Ah

 gentleh looked away. Ah didn't want her to lose tame. You see, TAME is important here - she's got a certain amount of tame while the ringy-dingeh thangy keeps going .. And Ah reckon, if she don't make it on TAME downstairs? THAT ringeh-dingeh turns into a blaring horn monster. And we don't want DAT. So Ah let her go downstairs first to do whatevah she does to keep the loud monster away.

Ah followed down the steps, mah fluff tail up in the air, confident it was now safe and secure to take MAH tame with her and greet her properly.

A Morsel Beneath Me

BIG-BELLA:

I have witnessed myself now, this strange new ritual between the new minx and mom: She comes running in when she hears the sound of "wanna a treat?!". And then mom gives her some bit of morsel and she jumps up on her back legs and takes it with her paws and eats it - on the spot. This ... undignified little trickery continued several times in my presence. Then mom turned to ME, if you would believe that, and tried to get ME to respond like that.

Disgusted, I flicked my head the other way and quickly trotted on out of the kitchen altogether with my head held high. I will NOT partake in this sort of thing, especially if that little minx is involved.

They Yell Nasty, Don't They..

KATIE KITTY:

I just got wind of a commotion upstairs and ran up to see what was going on after seeing miss Princess get upset and running up there.  I heard this ugly yowl come out of miss Bella.. and big Googie was somewhere near her.

Then mom came out of this dark room where they both were, chasing Googie out ...I took one look at his face as he passed me by and my tail bushed out.  He didn't look too happy; he took one look at me and it was "Not now!" as he continued running down the steps, hissing bad things...  I quickly trotted over to mom's room for safety.      I crawled under the bed for all of a minute.

Mom came into her room after me making the 'it's okay' sound.. Aw, I understood.. I came out of the bed and let her hold me and stroke my head while I was peering out to see what might happen next.. Princess was out in the hallway investigating, stretching her neck looking for Bella.

Dis was the very first time my tail actually bushed out. There IS an ugly side to this whole pack, isn't there... huh.

A Silver Lining

BELLA:

Mom stepped on my paw earlier today. I couldn't believe it, it hurt so much and I screamed in pain.. She was trying to step out from the door.. and I guess I got in the way. But soon as she realized I was hurtin, she knee

led down to me and gushed 'Aw noooo! I'm sorrry! ' and that "are you okay" phrase..

She tried to make me feel all better and I instantly started purrring up a storm. I loved the attention.

Babysitting Duty

BELLA: 

There are times I do take over the babysitting duty from Googie. Like when the rest of them are over on the beddie with mom, and babeh Getty does not want to spar with Katie kitteh, we'll hang back and stay together on the spare bedroom beddie.

So, I do babysit and look out for her, trust me. That's part of the deal I've made with Googie. That's what keeps us friends now. 

The Meaning of Forgiveness

BELLA

"I jumped up on the counter tonite while mom was busy on her pooter....and, well.. she didn't seem to like that for some reason tonite. She yelled out my name in an unpleasant way, "Bella!!! ".

Well, I can take a HINT! I 

immediately jumped down to the side table and parked it there, facing Googie who was standing right below. I told him my troubles, growling. He looked at me, pained. And then mom came over and tried to make me feel better: "Give me a kiss-kiss..", she whispered in my ear.

Aw okay.. I looked up and gave her a couple of pecks. That's all I could do for now."

Taunting to a Duel

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

"Mom lady came over to my chair and started touching the thing I sit on.. I was standing below on the other side of the chair when I saw MY space was being violated and invaded.

"Yowwwwwl!! ", I cried fowl. It was my battle cry, I taunted her to a duel. "You can't touch MY stuff!"

Not My Scene

PRINCESS:

"I watched mom make a monkey out of Katie Kitty this morning. She starts to call out "wanna treat?!" and Katie Kitty comes flying into the kitchen out of nowhere. Next thing I know, I see her jumping up to mom's hand and m

om's giving her something to eat right there on the spot.

Huh.. I really just couldn't quite.. get into the spirit. I stood in my place and watched from afar while this .. indignity continued, as Katie Kitty kept jumping up and down for what? For scraps? Oh-my-catgod!

NOT my scene...

 "

Friends With Benefits?

BELLA'S BITS:

Nowadays, as you know, me and Googie have arrived at a good, mutually-benefitting place. He looks up to me, he sniffs my butt, I am the 'go-to' female when he needs help (like the time he got his claws stuck and I had to 

run upstairs and get mom). Well, okay.. sometimes he takes out his frustrations at me, but I've gotten used to it now... I won't even go into hysterics..

So, there are those times when I'm laying blissfully at my usual spot, and he saunters by slowly, unaware.... And I long for something more. I stretch my body all the way, I turn up my belly, my paws reaching out toward him, longing for him to turn around and look at me, say hello.... I gaze at him wistfully, as he passes by with his big fluffy tail hanging and twisting.. And just wish.

Oh well. It's just not meant to be..

Not What I'm Portrayed To Be

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:

"I leave a very warm spot for mom on the beddie where I lay...When she comes back and wants to get back in, she goes to me: "excuse me but I have to lay down here again..". 

I hear that "excuse me" sound and dey've all told me dat we're supposed to move when we hear dat. So I scurry and scoot over a little bit and make some room for her to come back into the beddie.

I'm really not that stray I've been portrayed to be.."

Safe Again

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

"When I need to gain back my strength, I go to miss Bella's spot and I touch her post. It makes me feel safe again. "

Come Hell or High Water

BELLA: 

"I went up to greet mom this morning. I had to, come hell or high water. But I stopped short of entering her room soon as I saw that little minx. She has reduced us to waiting by the edge of the room,.me and Pipi. While GOOG in there just lays around and pretends nothing is happening."

It's Adoption-By-The-Cat

KATIE KITTY - THE NEW CAT: 

"I have taken to my new mom immediately.. But by now, I have really adopted her 100%... When I start to groom, I groom her arm too. And I get near her as I walk around in the room? My tail goes straight up like a stick. And I trust her implicitly.. If I see her finger in front of my nose, I will follow her wherever she may lead me... "

[ I can literally lead her 'by the nose' so to speak using the tip of my finger in front of her.. hehe ]

Tag Team

BELLA'S BITS:

"This morning, I bit the bullet. We were trying to get to mom,. the door was closed, and I put aside my differences with that little minx for the sake of our common cause: get mom to open the door.

So I let her scratch away while I supervised from behind. "

In The Dark of the Night

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:

 "I make it a habit nowadays to disappear quietly "upstairs" when everyone else is downstairs with mom lady.  I like to just go up to mom lady's bed, even in the dark, and just lay there.

Unfortunately, my plans were foiled dis evening.  She came up here and passed me quickly by in the dark.  I thought for a moment that I might just.. blend into the darkness and get away with it.  But no, she reached out as she walked on by and her arm came over me. Ooop!! Time to go!  At that, I guess she realized I wasn't the minx.

"Awww, I'm sorry!", she called out to me.  Well okay - I'll slow my pace down now.

Googie's Issue

GOOGIE:


Ah maght mention dat Ah got cawlled a "you're not a good cat!" tuday.

Yep, Ah declare, mom got into mah beeesiness agin.  Ah had spotted Bella coming out of our cat bathroom and set mah saghts on her.  She tried to act like she didn't notice me and kept going down the stairs.  Well, Ah followed with the eententiawn of remanding her what we had tawlked about.. dat she eez nawt to make a mess out of our boxes.   But unfortunateleh, mah message got eentercepted bafawre Ah had a chance to git it across...

Just in the nick of tame, as Ah was walking toward her downstairs, mom comes behand me cawling out mah formal name.   It wasn't "honey".

Ah tried to walk in a circle and act nonchalant while big-Bella was already hiding, peeking her face to watch me git humiliated.  "Get back upstairs please.. ", mom kept trying to corall me.   Ah was forced bah her blocking steps to climb a few steps but Ah had to stop and speak mah mand:

"Hiiiiissssssss!", Ah protested.  "You CAN'T tell ME what to DO!!".. Ah git SO upset when she trahs to make me go away just when Ah'm trahing to do somethang here.    "YOU'RE not a very good CAT!  ARE you Gabriel??!", she threw her final insult to me.

Ah gave up and left Bella alone ... looked for babeh-Getty and she had already disappeared upstairs so Ah joined them up dere.

Not My Scene

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

"I waited for daddy-Googie to come out of the kitchen and join me. I was so happy to see him walk my way, I went into a slow, leisurely stretch and then leaned over for a nose tip. But oh! He had other plans.. He wa

s eyeing miss Bella behind me, he was preoccupied and his ears were pointed to her.. Next thing I know, mom lady comes out of the kitchen calling out his name loudly:

"GABRIEL?!!".. The mood changed quickly.. I knew this was gonna be trouble and I split. Went over to my hideway under the dining table. I just know when those two duke it out and then mom lady gets into the mix ... and it's just not sometin I can handle. So daddy kept going down the stairs following Bella, ignoring mom lady ... And mom lady kept calling out to him. That's all I know cause I headed for upstairs after dat, I have to remove myself from this type of scene completely cause I know how daddy Googie can get.

Bad Cat Dream

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

"I had a bad dream a few minutes ago... And I jumped out of my chair and ran across the entire room and then went flying down the stairs, crying out the battle-cry.

Once I made it down there I cried some more.. "help

 me! help me! '.. Mom lady came down to see me.. I looked up at her at the steps and then scurried off to the side.

I got over it.. I came back up, looked over Katie's way, and went for a snack. I needed a snack now.

Pout Of The Night..

BELLA'S BITS:

"I went to the downstairs again earlier tonight and started to cry out loud by the door... And then I heard mom call out to me using the really good sound ("honeeey??")... I dropped the act at once and came back running up the steps to be with her..  She sat next to me and I felt all better, I started purring..  Until I saw orange-fluff come by.. He had to make an appearance all of a sudden right in front of us, he sat upright and tried to act cool... Well mom was right there!  She kept stroking the back of my neck and he finally sauntered on past by us...

I really can't take it with him sometimes.. After our dinner, I had to go potty and when I came out? He was right there behind the railing, glaring at me.  I stopped in my tracks next to the door - mom saved me again, I feel like.. I was able to get past him without a fight but I knew my place:  I quickly walked downstairs out of sight.

I Couldn't Take It Any More

" I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE " -  Everytin' was going fine, as far as I was concerned.  Mom lady had returned from outside, we got treats, we all were happy.  And then she did it.  She brought little minx Katie in front of me, in MY habitat [under the dining table] and began to pet her.  That little tramp Katie just sat there, compliant, letting her touch her all over back and forth.. She even layed down to make it easier for mom lady.  And they did it right in front of me, as I stood under a chair looking...

I couldn't take it any more.  I suddenly turned my head and y whole body followed .. I walked quickly away into the shadows...

Game Ovah!

We awl had dinner last naght.. A long-awaited dinner, cause mom wasn't fealin' good.. So, we kept vigil, we kept patient - until our feast. After our dinner, Ah noticed big-Bella went over to he usual spot to clean herself and lounge. Well, Ah was in no mood to live and let-live. Ah quietly walked passed bah her and let her know through mah targeted glance dat AH wasn't okay with her presence... Ah didn't wanna create another ruckus and have mom awl over me.. So Ah deeed it een such a way as to git under her radar so to speak.

Next thang Ah know, miss Bella done run downstairs and start craying.. can you believe it. She done ended up upsetting the whole household, craying bah the door down dere... And AH'm nowhere near her. Ah watched mom den go down to her... Last thang Ah wanted to happen.. So Ah go down there to observe and she trahs to tale me to go upstairs, trahs to coral me without yelling or me or anythang.. AH knew what she was trying to do and AH didn't lake it. Ah hissed to the air as Ah tried to avoid going up the steps. "Dammit! hisssss! hisss! WHAH do AH have to go up awl of a sudden?! " Little Katie Kitteh was standing up further on the steps watching me unravel like dat... Ah suddenly realized AH am losing face and Ah started to eyeball Katie Kitteh now, my ears pointed to her.

"Don't you DARE!! ", Ah heard mom say.. She knows.. She knows Ah have the tendenceh to take out mah frustrations on uthers.. Whoever happens to be around - except mah babeh-Getty of course. Well, Ah done run up the steps past her, DAT Ah DEED..

Didn't make no difference, Katie Kitteh still got on mah tail anywah..

Ah kept vigil awn big-Bella though.. Ah had managed to oust her, quietly, down dere and the meenute she came back up Ah eyeballed her, mah eyes wide and glassy: "DIDN'T AH tale you to clear the area?" She done see me and jumped up on the couch near mom. Dat was pretty much game ovah.

I Am Not Amuzed..

PIPI'S POINT: " I am not amuzed.

At least I can seize and claim Bella's power spot for a while.. While she's outta sight. I had to share mom on her beddie this morning .. I eagerly jumped up to join her finally, after the long night awa

y, and what do I SEE?! That new minx all over her, all over her shoulder and arm... Well, I am NOT going to share mom like this.. I don't even share with Goog!, are you kidding me? So I took up my post by the foot of the bed and I ignored them all.

When mom -finally- came down to the kitchen and took up her spot, I jumped up in-her-face and eyeballed her with all the intensity I could muster. She stopped typing and reached out and hugged me all over. "You'll always be my baby", she said. Well, I hope so... I'll take that for now.

Cause, I didn't sign up for this.. I did not sign up for a cat hotel!!

Taking A Lesson

BELLA - Grooms mom's arm while Katie Kitty, at left, takes a lesson.  **
      That's Princess below right.

** Katie-Kitty is the newest addition as of July 2012.  She was saved from certain death from the high-kill New York City ACC shelter system in Manhattan, brought in as a stray, and had just given birth to her first litter beforehand.  She was still lactating, sick with the upper respiratory infection they get in there, and skin and bones condition.  And yet, she was deeply affectionate throughout.  After taking her to our vet, we discovered she had pneumonia.  She was nurtured back to health and has now settled in with the pack, properly accepted by the male lead  (after she went into heat ! :) - she is now spayed and has healed completely from that as well.)   We estimate her to be still very young... She plays like a kitten and all the others in the feline brood have been hands-off.. they can see she is very much a younsgster, even Bella will not chase or ambush her back.   I guess Katie Kitty was a 'teenage pregnancy' case.. she must have gotten pregnant as soon as it was biologically possible for her, barely at maybe 4 or 5 months of age..

Katie-Kitty was renamed by me.. She was actually called "Princess" - that was her shelter name.

Disturbed!!

LITTLE GETTY:

" I HATE that little new minx Katie-Kitty... Making all that ruckus down below our beddie...!  Can't get a good snooze with her around! "

At All Costs

BELLA:  

I had to come up and see mom. I've been waiting for her all day, she's been sleeping behind that closed door. So I just came.img the stairs in spite of that brat behind me.  

I swallowed my pride and bypassed the brat in close quarters while she even took a swipe at my butt - and I ignored it, pretended it didn't happen.

I had to greet mom - at all costs.

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:


"I can relax now on mom lady's beddie and watch her get ready and hover around us - and not blink an eye.

Uhm... she even stood near me holding dis interesting ting and asked me what I thought of it.   I looked up and paid attention, tried to sniff  it.   I liked it, I tried to tell her.
