Un-Thinkable!

BIG BELLA'S BITS:

"I was having my meal tonight when suddenly little Getty started acting up right in front of me by the wall there. I knew it really wasn't directed at me, she was freaking out because mom was right there. She gets into these tizzies sometimes when she feels cornered and she goes totally psycho, her ears flatten up, she gets this look on her face.. Even Baby hesitated approaching her this time.

I have tried.. I have tried to help her but it's just not working and I have given up. I just couldn't deal with it anymore, I actually up and left my own meal and walked away from it... I just don't want to be involved in these unpleasant scenes.

And, leaving my own noms is of course UNthinkable!! "

A Nosetipping Investigation

GOOGIE'S GRITS:

"Ah tried to understand tonate... Ah deed mah due-diligence.

You see, mom came home late and this tame Ah wasn't gonna defer to just Baby doing greetin' duty. Ah promptly came down the stairs to greet her and get a sense as to WHAH she was late. An looked at her quizzically, refused to nose tip her, but proceeded to nose tip the door behind her. Ah felt Ah had to check out what was behand that door this tame, so in spite of our all-tame rule not to cross that threshold, Ah almost deed. In search of an answer. 

Ah had to investigate and understand WHAT was keepin' mom away for so long.

Satisfied, Ah backed off the door once mah nose-tipping expedition was completed. Ah did not sneeef anythang untoward or disagreeable. But Ah was still perturbed and walked around looking for whatevah other clues Ah could fand. "

The Shrew In The Shadows

"I had to run like a firecracker on my ass again, trying to avoid getting hissed at by that shrew, Katie...lurking in the shadows of the red cube.

I just can't believe I've been reduced to this.. having to barrel my way through the Hall of the Bitch ! "

A Mirror Image

KATIE KITTY'S KAHOOTS:

"I escorted mom to the bathroom, as usual. It's what I do.. it's my "job" as they say. At times I even get impatient with her when I know she's headed that way but is still dilly-dallying around and I run up to the bathroom door and look eagerly up on the doorknob: "Come ON mom! What are you waiting for?! "

Well.. anyway, this time I took my opportunity. Yes, see, while she was on the throne and out of view, I jumped up on that counter and got the courage to walk over to the area that's sacred to her. Where all the stuff is, where I've never gone before.

I stood among all the bottles and things of hers - as if it all belonged to me too. All the stuff I see her touch and pick up every day. And I took a step forward toward the mirror... and I looked at myself for a while, long and carefully, stretching my neck as closely as I could toward that shiny reflection of myself. "

All My Misfortunes

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:

"Yes, it's true: I did handle kooky Katie tonight, I was able to fend her off. I convinced her when she followed me down to my private spot that this was nothing to worry about, I just wanted a little time alone. 

I promised her I would not go bellowing out loud all my misfortunes, I had overcome all that.

She turned and left back for upstairs as she gave me one last look of warning with those eyes of hers. "

 

Why Are You Doing That?

BABY G:

"I was near mommy in the kitchen when I suddenly noticed a .. disturbance.. Suddenly, miss Getty sprinted away from her food bowl and crouched down near the wall. Her ears went flat and she hissed at mommy.. I ran right over to her, outstretching my neck toward her.

"Miss Getty? Please?? Why are you doing that?? " - I lifted my paw and held it up, toward her .. kind of like a peace gesture, like a 'halt your horses' message. I held it there for a few moments, hoping my paw could calm her down.

I just couldn't stand to see her in such pain and fear, miss Getty. I was trying to tell her there was nuttin to be afraid of! "

Outwitted

Good morning ... 

I got cajoled out of mom's room last night, muttering and growling as I finally got up and trotted out. I hate to be told what to do. 

I'm a diva for God's sakes !

A Proper Greeting

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:

"I greeted mom lady properly this morning. Even more so than the rest of the pack does. Instead of scattering away to the depths of under the table upon seeing her come down the steps, I stood in front of her for a greeting.

I looked her in the eye and I let out my double meow. It was my "hello, how are you". I knew she would answer me in her own way. "

My Duties - Seriously

"I have taken time out to accompany mom in her morning ritual.

Before that, I was sprinting across the rooms, flying over tings, and pouncing on the bed edges. But dis is one of my duties dat I take seriously. "

Running Interference

GOOGIE'S GRITS:

"Ah had to run interference this mornin when Ah heard Bella scream hysterically.

Ah quit eating mah meal in the kitchen and walked over to the edge and peeked at the scene, tilting mah head and trying to figure out what had happened.

Awl Ah saw was mom sitting there bah the steps and burly Bella nearby, licking her furr, trying to look nonchalant. After she screamed and cursed at mom in the worst way....we certainly don't make deeze noises in this house. So Ah decided to step in between them as nonchalantly as possible and saunter close to mom. Ah stood next to her, just in case. "

Babysitter Disrespected

KATIE KITTY'S KAHOOTS:

"I am being disrespected.   Yesterday, brash Baby came at me again and my usual threats did not work.  My scream got higher and louder - and it still didn't work.   He continued to harass me and fight me.

And to think... I'M the one who took care of him, who babysat for him.. Who kept constant watch over him.  And this is how he treats me.

This morning, I was hesitant.  I heard mom come out of her room and I came out of the other bedroom to greet her.. But I stood there in the middle of the hallway, motionless.. which is just not my style.   I thought of Baby and it stopped me in my tracks."

So Angry

BABY G: 

"Miss Getty joined us up on the beddie but she was still angry at me.. She kept glaring at me as she warned me with her low-growl. She even swatted me a couple of times, I guess she was trying to make sure I would behave...

I took it all, and submitted. She was still angry at me for chasing her up the steps and stalking her. " 

Making Nice

LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: "Making Nice.."

"I try. I got tired of crying all by myself downstairs just cause I couldn't be with daddy. I decided to break through the barriers and jump back up on the beddie, in SPITE of crazy Baby.

I did do the greetings though, I'm no gruff cat. Soon as I jumped up, I approached and nose-tipped him. He seemed more than happy to see me.   Kids. "
