How Dare You

KATIE KITTY:

We had our dinner and as usual, we all headed for the living room.   I walked around and checked things out, back and forth, and then I turned around and what did I SEE! :  That little psycho Getty schmoozing with Googie!   I quickly trotted on over to them and chased her away.

But that was not enough.  I paused for a moment as I looked at him and then raised my paw quickly and slapped him one on his face.

I ...quickly walked away after that.


[ ... and poor Googie took it, continued to stand there as if nothing had happened. ]

Stealing Away

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

"I seized my opportunity this evening.. When everyone else gathered 'round mom lady in the living room, me and daddy snuck upstairs to mom lady's bed and had our special time together, in deep snooze. We finally woke up and I sensed daddy going downstairs again. I started to come down the steps and I stopped in mid-step, hesitating.. Miss Princess was eyeballing me and I felt her stare.

"Where have you been missy? this whole time? ". She looked concerned and daddy was right next to her... Apparently, they had been visiting with each other after he came down. 

I finally continued my way down and gingerly trotted on over to her to pay my respects.   She is daddy's lifemate and I have respected that all along and so, I presented her with my touche to pay my proper respects.  

She leaned over to nose tip me... She was more than pleased.   She assured me all was in order and we nose tipped and went for a snack. "

What Chu Want Mareh?

Well, Ah nevah..  


Ah'm just standing there, manding mah own business on our side table, having just eaten mah meal.. And here's big Bella coming next to me, licking the leftovers from the plate next to mine, when she done looks up at me and starts to threaten me.  What in tha...

Ah continued to stand there, looking at her in mah typical Zen state.  "Excuse me?", was mah meaning.

"Arrrrrr!  Don't you @!#$!~*& mess with me, get away, get away from here!!  It's all mine and I'm gonna eat it! You #&!!@*& !! ",  she cursed at me in her throaty, dark low growl.

Ah tale ya.. Ah just don't know WHERE they get all this energy from..

Why Me CatGod?

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

"I have gotten into three, three separate fights today wiff three different cats.. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.. First, I got in trouble just cause I walked into mom lady's 'small room' and that minxKatie Kitty stalked me and attacked me.. Then, tonight, miss Princess, my role model and personal idol, decided to attack me too.. 

Out of nowhere, she comes at me while I was parked by miss Bella's post.. I didn't think anything of it until the one cat person I love the most next to daddy came at me with all the vengeance she could muster..! I was drawn into a fast and furious pattycake war that wouldn't stop!

Awww. please Cat-God.. Why me? Thankfully, mom lady rescued me and made her stop. But then, just a little while later? I go over to lay with daddy, and he didn't want me to.. He ..ejected me.. And I stood there, next to him, not knowing WHAT to do.. So I simply stood there and tried to pretend this was not really happening.. He then decided to go eat so I followed him; we would have a good snack together... We always do. "

The Emasculation of Googie

Ah have a beef with miss Bella... You see, she's got this air about her.  Mom done come in with bags and stuff, and we both tried to help her, me and Bella.. They looked like nummy-num type of bags and we stuck our snouts in them to sniff 'em out.  

Then mom went upstairs with them and Ah stayed behand with big Bella who thinks she's awl thaaat..   She was intent on racing me up there, she thinks she's got to be the one to run up the steps first, so she shot up there and ran over to her coveted spot and Ah high tailed it right behand her and got in her face in no uncertain terms:   "Hey, dere you wench!!  WHO do you think you ARE?!".. She crouched backwards, she almost got whiplash...

"Leave me alone you boor!!!", she hissed at me with her ears pancaked flat on her head.

Ah stood mah ground with mah neck awl propped straight up, like the young, brash buck dat Ah am.. Well, dat Ah CAN be..   Until Ah am brought back to a reality check with mom's yellin' to "stop it".  Deees is how Ah get emasculated..

Cat-Clearing The Perimeter

BELLA:

Mom came home and I found it necessary this time to not only greet her as I always do but to step out to that dark place where she comes in from and walk around, inspect, and make sure all is in order. I went about sniffing as I carefully looked around to see if there was really any of the danger that little Getty sensed earlier today.

I had to clear the perimeter. 

Hell's Kitchen

Little Getty suddenly had an absolute, BALLISTIC FIT here in the kitchen, out of nowhere. I'm on my laptop so I did not see what triggered her.. But she was among all the other cats when suddenly she scrambled like Fred Flintstone, flying all over the kitchen and bouncing against the walls before she high-tailed it upstairs and ran and is hiding under the bed. 

Could it be .. she just got a bug on her butt? :))

Twisted

GOOGIE'S GRITS:  

"Babeh Getty done suddenly come at me lake a kitten on her first heat cycle.. Ah don't know what she wanted from me, Ah was peacefully lounging in mah favorite cabana..  And so, out of nowhere, she done come bah as Ah was laying down in a defenseless position.. Ah guess she insisted on laying on mah belly.   Well, Ah really wasn't up for it, so Ah tried to chu-chu her away but she got quate hornery.. She attacked me, Ah tale you, while Ah was down and Ah couldn't get mah bearings ....She took full advantage of dat.

Well, bah the tame Ah got back on my paws Ah was pretty pissed.. Mah neck twisted as Ah began to look at her menacingly (well, for all of two seconds really..) :  "Naw, look here missy!!! ", was mah meaning.   Can you believe the little thang continued to fight me?  Ah had to charge her and turn 'er upside down once for her to git mah message clear.   She scrambled a few steps downstairs and came back up soon after...

Ah really didn't even care that this whole thang went down in front of big Bella dere bah the step and the scratch post, as we rock and rolled to it.  Ah guess it was good theater for her just watching us in disgust.

Ah had to take a stand on tough lauuuuve. " --

A Nose Tip Away

PIPI'S POINT: 

"Yesterday, we all climbed on mom's bed to join her, me and baby-Getty and Googie. But Katie Kitty stayed behind. The message was clear: You either abide by our cattiquette and quit chasing us out of mom's bed - or we will ex-catcommunicate you.

Mom was already asking about her, and Getty's ears were flapping back at the mention of her name. After a while, she finally showed up. By that time, me and Getty had jumped off the bed, having sensed her closing in on us - we really didn't wanna see her.   But she walked in the room and incredibly, nose-tipped little Getty right in front of me. I stood back watching. I had advised Getty that if that should happen, she should reciprocate and so she did. 

Mom now was stretching her neck watching this; she looked at me, I made eye contact with her and blinked my eyes. Yes, it all went well... I supervised it. "

Post N Sniff

GOOGIE'S GRITS:


Ah almost got into it agin tonate with miss Bella over dat very spot over dere, at the "scratch post".  Momma had set all the new bags nearbah, and Ah went over to sniff them.. And Ah got too close to big Bella's coveted personal spot.. So she challenged me and flapped her ears back.

Ah stood mah ground.    But Ah was one step below and Ah kept hearin' mom warning us to "be nice" and to "stop fighting"...

So Ah retreated and walked away.    (You can keep your post you darn beatch!  Ah got better thangs to do raght naw... * Ears flapping low as he walks away swooning his shoulders back and forth  *  )

Let ME

BELLA:

"I found mom flat on the floor in the kitchen.. she was sprawled out on her hands and knees, looking.. Looking under the big white square there.. I immediately ran over to her assistance and stuck my nose under there too.

The more she looked, the more I looked.. What was she looking for? Not sure, but I was gonna find out soon! I bent down my neck, stretched, looked again next to her shoulder.. Got in front of her even ('here mom, let ME').

My help was needed here and I wasn't going to miss my calling. "

A Cry for Help

" I just heard little Getty give out a cry .. It was coming from downstairs. So I pointed my ears toward her cry for help and ran downstairs at once.

I'm starting to feel sorry for the kid. I know there is something.. special about her, and she needed my help. "

Laser Beam Eyes

BELLA:  

"I made my way to mom's room this morning after some snacking at the hall snack station. I sauntered over to my favorite place first, her closet; but the door was closed. Then I turned my attention up to her bed as she was calling me. Soon as my eyes fell upon the scene there I stopped, frozen. And I stared, completely incensed, and disgusted: KATIE was by her side. I stood motionless and ogled at Katie with all the hate I could muster.

I had to walk away then, my head hanging down as mom kept begging me to come back. "

A Pink Breakthrough

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:   "A Pink Breakthrough"

"I spent the better part of my day on my favorite pink beddie again.   And there came that moment when Katie came over, wanting to start a fight and unseat me.  I could see the tip of her tail twitching as she shot me that look of hers, demanding I get down at once, trying to pawpunch me one all at the same time.  At first I began to cower, my ears flattening down.  But then I realized mom lady wasn't that far away, she was watching..  I straightened myself out and fought back - my way.

"Yowwwwl!   Nooo, Katie!   I'm NOT getting down and please stoooop!  This was always my beddie and I don't wanna fight, just leave me alone!", I yowled.

She stood there for a moment, staring.. doing nothing.  And then she walked away.   That was the end of it for the rest of the evening, I got to keep my own beddie.

"You did good..", mom lady said to me as she passed by.  "It's YOUR beddie, you don't have to run away."   I blinked my eyes at her.

Lost The Thrill to Chase

KATIE KITTY:

"It was really just like any other night.. I was running around doing a little chasing here and there.. Nothing out of the ordinary. And then I headed toward the kitchen cause that's where miss Pipi was headed towards - and she was my unwilling playmate for the moment.

But I stopped in my tracks. There she was, stopping in the middle of the place, letting that little psycho Getty rub all over her face. They were... visiting with each other. Little Getty was ...actually schmoozing all over miss Pipi - and miss Pipi was accepting it!!

Huh. I stood there looking at them dumbfounded. What in the world...

I turned around the walked away slowly in the opposite direction. I had lost my thrill to chase or play anymore."

Losing Furr-Face

Ah reckon there are tames when Ah lose face, and lose it badly in front of some of the girls.   Lake the other naght, when Ah decided to start scrounging mah snout into a scrunchy bag mom had left there bah the wall.  It didn't belawng there Ah tale you, and so Ah needed to inspect.

Well, Ah was focused in on it with all mah maght when I was surprised and ambushed Ah maght say bah none other than mom herself.  She done come up to me out of nowhere raght when Ah least expected it - and then the BAG moved!  Or so Ah thought and Ah jumped to hagh heaven and ran on outta there...

Only to realize dat the girls watched the whole thang.. Dat really wasn't cool of me, Ah declare.

Lowered Standards Are Not Rewarded

PRINCESS POINT: 

"For once, I lowered my standards and leaned over to smell Katie's pristine little butt. It was the first time ever. Besides - she practically stuck it in my face as I'm sitting there on the beddie minding my own business. But the freaky child turned around and gave me the 'how dare you' look, a look of indignation, complete with her signature krazy glare, ready to slap me one.

I recoiled, my neck shrinking back a few inches. Now I'm looking stupid as ever. It was a tense moment and I had been soo relaxed, I just couldn't do anything else.. Gratefully, mom's hand emerged, her finger pointing at Katie's nose. "Be nice!", the usual command came out and Katie settled down.

That's what I get for handing out the getting-to-know-you olive branch. "

 

Katie Karma

KATIE KITTY:  


"I did not think anything of it.. We were all loafing around the living room closeby to mom, and Googie was hanging out near our poopoo boxes outside there, and I just ran up behind him and stuck my face under his tail.. You know, sniffed him quite closely, I must admit.   Well he did not like that, who knew?!!   He turned and swiftly whapped me one right on my face... It was time to go.

My.. some cats are quite sensitive.  "

[Talk about KARMA!  :))  ]

Katie's Dream

"I know... that someday, mom here is gonna find my babies.. I think that's why they have me here. So she can reunite me with my babies.

I heard them not too long ago.. I DID.. I could hear them cry right near her, and I got so excited about it, I started looking under the bed.   

I dream about them.. My whiskers twitch, my chin trembles, and my paws shake.  I know, some day I will find them. .... "

Why Not the Blue?

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:

 "I saw mom lady putting dis new blanket near our turf the other night. Every night, she puts it there, hanging.. It's different from my pink beddie, it's blue. And every night after she leaves and goes upstairs, I knock it down and sleep on it on the floor. It feels sooo soft on my butt. But here's the thing: In the morning?   She comes down and sees me on it and she runs over to me all mad. It's clear to me she does not want me using this blankie, as I see her pick it up from the floor and putting it back on its place.  

Den?  She turns to me and yells: "It's NOT for YOU, okay? You got your beddie!!", on and on.. 

I stay in my place trying to understand... WHY doesn't she want me to use it. It is more important for me to understand - than to run. Regardless of my fear, regardless of her anger. I need to understand. 

So I look at her wide-eyed, and listen to her every word. "

Fair Play

BELLA'S BITS:


I was caught in the moment, it's true:   Miss Priss challenged me again, she passed me by too closely, she looked at me the wrong way, what can I tell you.  I charged her to prove my point - and my dominance.  Cat-dammit, I don't take that kind of crap ( ..'er.. whatever it was).  In my haste, I charged her straight into the wall.  But before that, she hit that thing near the wall, I think mom calls it a "vase".  It made a big noise so it beckoned mom into coming out from the kitchen.  

She came out allright.. She saw it was knocked down, saw ME near it, having cornered the Priss against the wall..   I quietly went back to my post while Priss looked at the damage.  Mom wasn't happy, something about "you made a nick on the wall now!! ".. I felt so awkward, I found myself looking elsewhere just to pretend that I wasn't there.   If that wasn't bad enough.. Mom then passed to go to the kitchen and suddenly stopped, calling out Priss.  She started telling her that maybe this was HER fault, and what did she do to tempt me, to rile me up.   Priss stayed under the table looking shocked.  

Well, this was the time for ME to take responsibility.  I stood up upon seeing this fracas, seeing miss Priss get berated, and walked on over to mom, headbonking her on her hands and knees:  "It's my fault mom, okay?  "

That pretty much put an end to the show. "

Sourpuss

SOURPUSS BELLA:


"I just drew blood from mom's arm... I know this is really breaking not just a cardinal rule but my very own mommacat ethics so... I knew I had to get outta the way before she even bellowed "that is SO MEAN !!" ... . I abandoned my favorite green bedding where I was snoozing and took the fall, eat crow, what have you.   But the point had to get across:   NO petting my back leg lower belly area.. WHEN is she ever gonna get that ? I had even just gotten done kissing her.

I stand by my own rules, cat dammit.  "

My Duty - And Only Mine

BELLA'S BITS:  


"Mom came home late and we were all waiting for her in the living room in our spots.   As the door opened, I guess I lagged behind a little... I did not sense her coming up right away like I usually do cause before she even opens the door, I'm usually right behind it to greet her.   That's one of my duties:  I see her out, well... Googie trades with me sometimes.  But I'm the one who always greets her back in.  

When I ran over towards the door tonite, I noticed Googie was laying nearby.   I stopped at the top step and turned to look at him in no uncertain way:  "What are  YOU doing here?   You DO know I've got greeting duty, don't you?? ".  He just looked at me as I paused and stared back at him.

Finally, the spell broke and I turned my attention to mom.  After all, this was my intended focus..  Now I had to make sure she got downstairs in time for that ringing to stop.. "

About A Sock

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

" I tink 'bout the time that mom lady made fun of me earlier today... wiff DIS very SOCK!

But yet I'm back on it! "

The Old College Try

GOOGIE'S GRITS: 

"Ah do quate understand what "scratch post" means, ma'am.. Like today, Ah went and dug mah claws on the carpet on one of mah usual spots - but Ah got trumped agin bafawre Ah could make a good claw mark. "Use the SCRATCH POST!" she done bellowed... 

At that, Ah gave up and walked on over to the "scratch post"... Ah got on it half-heartedly and just stood there. Ah wanted to make sure she saw my good intentions.."

Drawing Blood
