A Diva-Cat Spooked
BELLA'S BITS: "WHAT THE F? "
- I can sense someone is down there, stalking or whatever.. I think it's that crazy delinquent, "baby-Getty".. You wouldn't believe what she tried to DO to me earlier this evening.. Here I was, coming up the steps to join mom, and this little psycho jumped at me from the other room and started to ...threaten me! In a REAL CRAZY way too.
I ran in mom's room and kept stretching my neck to see where she'd gone to. Mom caught wind of this and went over to see and realized Little Getty was skulking around in the small room. She came back and I was still unsettled .... I kept stretching my neck toward the hallway, keeping vigil..
So this time, mom looked out again to see what I was spooked about - and she caught Getty standing there at the end of the hallway, staring at me like a psycho. Little Getty was caught red-pawed like that.
So mom went over to her and started yelling at her "WHAT did you DO to BELLA?!".. and Getty did not flee at first, she stood her ground and stared at mom, guilty as hell. And then it was all over, she flew down the stairs and stupid Googie was taking a dump in the upstairs bathroom when he heard the commotion and jumped down from the sink and ran after his precious "baby-Getty" .. along with Princess... What - a- MESS.. that was.
[ I could not believe my EYES - seeing BELLA being spooked out by frekking baby-GETTY... WHAT did Getty DO, really, to spook her out so much? I heard no sounds, no hissing... ]
Let Me Show You How It's Done!
BELLA:
I was eating breakfast and the flunky next to me began to act up again. Her ears went flat at mom and mom was trying to be nice to her, can you believe it. Here was mom sayin: "can I have a kiss-kiss?", and the flunky kept recoiling... I had enough. I stopped eating, walked over to mom and gave her MY 'kiss-kiss'.
Little Getty then bolted out of the kitchen and I chased her and took a quick swipe at her flunky butt for good measure. "You idiot!! ". My work was done.
I came back to the bowls to finish my breakfast.
Keeping Guard
BELLA:
I kept guard on mom all nite. Made sure nobody woke her up. She couldn't refuse me when she got ready for bed.... I knew just how to fenagle my way and making her let me stay. And in turn, I guarded her, and nobody jumped on her bed to wake her.. if you get my meaning.
And when I heard that thing near the bed start to make noise? I knew that was my cue, it was time to jump on the bed and be there to see me first thing when she opened her eyes. Gave 'er her first kiss-kisses. —
Mah Firm Resolve
GOOGIE'S GREETS:
Pipi here done attacked me whale Ah was down awn the floor, een a cawmpromasing [compromising] position Ah'd say..
Ah was peacefully lounging awn the keetchen floor, nearbah mom, manding mah own beesiness, when she done come up from behand me and planted, well...more laike DUG EEN, her teeth awn mah belly!! She took several nips bafawre Ah was able to fand mah balance and come up... The more neep she took, the more alarmed Ah became becoze dammit? - eet hurt!!
Ah fanally stood up - and let me tale you: Ah was REALLY peessed! Ah got awl twisted, literally... Mah neck got crooked and mah tail twitched as Ah began to warn her dat BAD thangs were about to happen.. Ah can be quite menacing, you see. She recoiled backwards but was too fearful to move - and dat's when mom stepped een.. She done got away from me while Ah kept hearing mom tale me not to pursue dis idea... Fane.
A few meenutes later, Ah met her up bah the screen door. Ah was composed bah that time, you see. And Ah stood across from her and calmly looked her in the eye: "Pipi? You can't do that again. Ah ain't gonna jump you naw, but you need to get ahold of yourself. Ah mean it."
... And Ah walked away pushing mah shoulders forward with a mission on every step.
Jamb 'n Paw
LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEONE...
I started to play with daddy Googie, he took up his position right there on the other side and so I stuck my paw at him through the opening.. And then I saw mom lady's ..uhm, paws come through! Huh! I backed up a bit but couldn't quite refuse ..
I reached out to touch her paw...
Love is Greater than Food Alone
GOOGIE'S GRITS:
Leetle Getty followed me to the keetchen yesterday evenin after mom had served us deener. Ah was bah the water bowls and she done come up to me lake she usually does, buttbonkin mah side.
She was looking for scraps, she always comes een too late. So Ah walked her over to the leftovers bowl behand us, awn the uther sade of the keetchen.
She done see it but she steel wanted to be bah mah side...

A Cat Announcement
LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:
I made my appearance dis mornin in mom lady's room. I trotted in there while miss Bella was on the bed getting 'petted' and meowed-out-loud to announce myself.
"Hey there!", I heard her say. "How are YOU?? !"
I turned on my paw and paraded back out as I responded in kind: "Meow!"
Double-Dribble in the Pink
PRINCESS:
It was time that I dribbled Pinkie again in front of baby-brat Getty.. She had the nerve to get huffy again with me and wouldn't come down from her seat (!) ...
[Unfortunately, mom took a peek from the kitchen which pretty much ruined my momentum.. But I got my point across: I shook Pinkie by his neck with my mouth, eyeballed the brat, and walked away. Didn't get my chair back though.. ]
Copped One
PRINCESS:
I just copped a bottle cap away from mom's thing and nonchalantly jumped off the counter away from her to inspect my loot....
but she followed me and took it away from me.
Teenager Kitty
LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:
I pretty much ran amock this evening right after mom lady came home.
At first, we were all down there to greet her, and I was just standing there looking at her from afar. But then, I left everybody and went upstairs and started to zip around back and forth right above them. I just made as much noise as possible and I could tell they had all stopped and got spooked out, looking up all over trying to figure out what in the hale is going on! Hah hah!!
I flew some more back 'n forth in my old room upstairs until I decided I had enough, and I started to come back down the stairs - but it was at the wrong time. I happened upon a fight-in-progress between daddy Googie and miss Bella and my tail bushed out big as I completed my trek down the steps.
DAMN!!! I crawled under the dining chairs and all was right with my world again.

An Answer Back
I GOT AN ANSWER... ! - Little Getty was sitting at this very seat tonite when I came home. And she looked up at me from her hover-seat as I was fumbling with the TV remotes. So I looked at her and absent-mindedly talked to her, I said: "So what did YOU do all day?" -
"Mewow!", she answered. I stopped what I was doing and looked directly at her: "Really? What did you do? " - "Meowww" - the second 'answer' was a little bit more drawn out... 'Awww'... She then jumped off the chair and went in her 'safe' habitat - Under the dining table.
WHAT was she really trying to tell me there?
A Hypocritical Cat...
Well Ah nevah! Ah spotted miss Bella digging her claws on the forbidden carpet while Ah was standin' near mom in the keetchen, an' DIS was MAH chance to ... REDEEM mahself.. Eet don't matter if AH do it, Ah'm gonna go BUST her !
And bust her Ah DEED! Ah warmed up mah white back booties on the keetchen floor and gained momentum and got into mah stalk position, and sprinted right up!!
It was a good chase, Ah got her all the way up to mom's room where she was hidin' under the bed! Ooops, dang.. got mah claw caught in mom's stuff... Oh well.
A Bully Breakthrough
A BULLY BREAKTHROUGH:
Let me tell you, I had a breakthrough this evening after mom came home! I did too. After we all had dinner, there was a certain restlessness among us. Miss Priss usually stirs it up by sprinting and darting around.. And that eggs on Googie. So when mom went upstairs to change in her room, there was a skirmish. Idiot Googie thought he could block me from following her up there so we both raced up the stairs, he's on my bushed out tail the whole way through, and I'm busting in her room like a crazy cat.
Only then, I realized: I don't HAVE to run under the bed! Mom standing right here's got my back and I know it! I turned on my paw as swiftly as I ran in and headed right back toward him! Pffft, pffft, pfffft!!! I swung that paw of mine up in the airs several times toward him. "Take THAT you bully! You don't scare ME!! "... I showed HIM, and he backed down.. after chasing me down the stairs.
[There is a lot of posturing with those two but this was definitely a breakthrough for her - she's no longer afraid of him, I can't believe she ran toward him and fought back. They got along for the rest of the night, too.]

Nice Cats Don't Fight...
LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:
I jutt don't know what hit me, really. I was minding my own business sitting on dis chair above here, when suddenly miss Princess came at me from below. She swung her paw at me several times, so I thought she wanted to play. And play back I did. But that wasn't the game... She was intent on jumping up on the chair where I sat - and dethroning me! I had to jump down ... And then she chased me some more, in and out of all the dining chairs down there.
Her neck was long and stiff again, she was meaning business. Meanwhile, daddy-Googie and miss Bella were just .. watching! Can you believe it? They were both under the coffee table near mom.
She chased me so fast, I had to run right through the railing and jump downstairs... I lost her that way, hah! But when I came back up, she was still there, waiting for me, she wouldn't let it go. I was cornered.. up against the wall.. When dis attracted mom lady's attention.
"Princess?? You be nice! ", we heard her say, and Princess immediately lowered herself to the carpet. Unfortunately, miss Bella heard "you be nice!" - and she knows what dat means too. And so she came out of her place and sprinted toward Princess to make her go away from me. And like, she turned her head then in my direction, and looked at me ... Me still in that corner.
Something passed between us.. I believe miss Bella was wondering if I was okay..
That's Our Routine..
BELLA'S BITS:
Mom came home and I made it fast enough to the top of the steps to greet her. I could hear the 'beep beep' but she asked "can I have a kiss-kiss?" and she lowered her forehead in front of me. Oh, okay - I "kissed" her several times.
That's our coming home routine, you see. Beep-beep or no beep-beep. (She has to run down and stop the 'beep -beep' and I keep tabs on that, I escort her down there as fast as I can.)

Indignities
BELLA: I didn't get my favorite flavor. And to add to this indignity, I was once again coralled away when I tried to get seconds even with this stuff! It seems like miss Priss has priority... So I went to pout.
And then mom came over talking to me, 'what's wrong? .. neah, neah, neah.'.. And she started with that phone thing again in my face.. I couldn't take it, I kept turning my face away. I'M not gonna be on display you know.
Alpha Cats Do Get Copied
Well mom came home kinda early... I got down to the front door steps as quickly as I could, and I was still groggy from my beauty nap. Hi there mom, I looked up at her my eyes still half shut with the light hitting on them..
Googie was followed behind me, he was still on the last step from downstairs ... Groggy-Googie as can be.. And mom discovered baby-Getty when she went downstairs like she always does. Baby-Getty has adopted the puffy pillow seat mom left on the floor, she was sitting-pretty on it. Both of them had to follow me downstairs and be where I'm at...
[Alpha cats do get copied... ]
Me and Pipi
LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:
I just follow the crowd, you see. Of course, it's always where daddy Googie leads. And he felt that our place today should be "downstairs"...
We hung out down there with miss Bella.. I lost track of miss Pipi, I really did.. She didn't wanna follow the crowd I guess.. She wanted to be on mom lady's bed. I guess daddy Googie still had leftover business downstairs, he was preoccupied and seeking something so .. I wanted to see what was going on with dat anyway.
Separation Anxiety
Mama tried to come in again tonite and I don't think she could!! And I tried to help her, I started scratching on the door fast and furiously! I think something must be keeping her from coming home and I have to help! I have to!
Losing Furrface
LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:
I started playin' with miss Pipi and we got into it. She gets all in a huff sometimes and so, she stretched and twisted her neck at me in a menacing way. "Don't you mess with me!", she threatened. "Okay, okay, miss Princess!", I retreated and sat down.
For good measure, she grabbed green Zingy-toy by her mouth and dribbled him in front of me a couple of times. Okay, I get the message! Yeah, Zingy was right between us. But den? She like.. got something stuck in her mouth from him and she started to cough a little. Oooh, it didn't look good. She lost her momentum -and her pride, and continued to cough.
I forgot all about our playing and sat further down on the floor and watched her anxiously.. "Are you awright, Pipi? "
A Power Chair Unseating
BELLA'S BITS:
Mom's staying up late tonite and I retired on the power chair. But she came up to me for kisses so I came to and kissed her hands and face as usual as I let her rub my belly.
I decided to come out of my sleep altogether and just follow her to the kitchen and lay down on the hard floor next to her.
