Hold On While I Groom Myself

Mom just came home and Ah layed on the floor nearbah. Until Pipi came up.

Ah tale you, Ah had just licked her head - just minutes ago.

But Pipi is in a bad mood. She tried to pick a fight with me again. So there Ah am, layin' down and she trahs to take advantage of that. She attacks me with open arms and paws, pretty much slapping me on each fur-cheek. If you can picture that.

And you know? Ah don't take it too seriously, Ah mean Ah know... Ah know Ah'm much bigger and 'dis too will pass. Plus Ah love her.

But she keeps coming AT me, really peeved about something. Mustering awl her strength at me. So now Ah have to get up from mah lounge position just to defend mahself. So Ah stand and wait for her next move.

She crouches, tries to menace me with her squeegie voice. Aw, awkay - hold on. Ah need to lick mah side for just a moment while Ah'm standin' here.

Nope, THAT didn't work. She jumped on me again and Ah fell to the floor.. Ah'm taling you, Ah don't have fight in me right now. And Ah roll to the floor right at the edge of the step, Ah almost fell over. And Ah start to hear mom go "No fighting please! No fighting. No. No. Stop it."

Apparently, she was satisfied. She just went on and got outta the room altogether. Left me and mom alone to enjoy each other's company.

Flopping the Tail Hard

I think mom tried to tell me tonight about "another cat" coming.

I was sitting on the bathroom's floor in my peace and quiet and she started talking to me.

"Princess? I need you to listen to me now.", she said in a serious tone.

All of a sudden I heard something about "a cat" and that I had to be "nice" to the "cat". I didn't like the tone this was taking.

I closed my eyes into slits and started flopping my tail. Hard, against the floor.

I really don't need this. I went and told Googie and we disappeared for a while even though she was down by The Thang where we usually hang out all together.

Did I Do Something Wrong??

I heard an unusual sound coming from the kitchen while I"m on the laptop. Yes, it's "mom" talking here.

It was a metal tinkling sound and so I wondered, "what is Princess getting into now? "

And so, I jumped up from the chair and turned the corner, anticipating to catch her in-the-act of some mischievous stealing .. most likely on top of the kitchen counter or something.

Instead, she had knocked on the windchimes, hanging from the door.

So she looks up and sees me. I stop in my tracks. And so does she: One paw up, in suspense, her little eyes staring at me, motionless:

"Did I do something wrong?"...

"Oh... okay..", I said, realizing no harm done anywhere.

Paw goes down and she begins to walk toward me - now that the... standoff is quickly resolved. :))

Sorting Mail and Tending to Mom

I thought it was about time I step in and see if I can try and .. uhm, sort mail?

Yep, there was a batch of papers "downstairs" by the steps and it was there for a while so I pawed through it.
So that mom would see it when she came in.

Oh but then? After she came in and spent time in the house? I noticed something was wrong..

She was on The Thang and then kept going back and forth to the kitchen. But she didn't look so good. I could tell she was upset.

So I made an exception, since it's Googie who's got that territory usually. I just jumped on the table to be close to her.

"I'm okay, honey", she tried to reassure me.

Ah Bide Mah Time

Ah was quite patient this mornin' while the ladies had their quality time bah themselves up in mom's bed.

You see, Pipi and Ah have it out almost every night and sometime in the mornings, as to who is gonna get closer to mom and when. Pipi trahs to block me every night from going up the stairs, even though mom keeps cawling for us.

So, Pipi last night tawlked me into staying away while SHE was the only one sleeping on mom's bed. And so Ah just stayed out bah the side of the hallway...

But Ah get mah own quality time with mom.

Ah get it right now, while she's awn The Thang..Lots of head-bonks and stroking here. Aww, Ah lauuve her so much, Ah can't help but walk awl over The Thang and brush up against her face.

And Pipi is nowhere to be found, see.

Never Listen to Catty Rumors

"Hey, Googie?! Watch out for mom, she's got something weird on her... I had to run away from her room while she was getting ready."

Gabriel is nowhere to be found but he emerges while mom is in the kitchen. As he tells it:

Ah approached quite carefully one paw at a time. Ah had that alarmed look in mah face.. Well, pretty much the same look Ah get if Ah get wind of the ... alarm. [alarm remote].

And so, Ah stared at mom for some kand of an explanatiawn. Standing at the kitchen entrance in suspended animatiawn, one paw stopped in front of the other..

Ah waus like.. split at that moment.

"What's the matter; Gabriel?", mom turned and said casually. "What's wrong? What is it?"

That's just eeet! Ah don't really know mahself. Ah don't even know where to look.. Awl Ah know is what Pipi told me, that somethang unusual was going awn with mom.

"Is it the flip-flops on my feet, Gabriel? "

She suddenly leefted her one big paw and ooops! Ah see this new thang on her lower paw, totally braght color and awl. OHHH! THAT'S IT! THAT's what Pipi must be tawlking about! Better run!!!

"Hey, Gabriel? Look, LOOK!", she says coming after me, flopping those ... FINS!

OH, MAH ... GOD! Oh, but wait! Whah am Ah runnin?

He hesitates, stops, starts to run again... And then decides it's all quite silly.

Never listen to catty rumours.

Princess Slaps Googie

Sometimes? I can tell you that I'm definitely NOT in the mood for Googie's shenanigans, okay?

I'm a serious cat, and I don't mess around. He likes to tug at my tail every chance he gets, and he still chases me like a child...
I don't have time for this sort of thing.

Like this instant here, below: I can't even pass him by, that boy..
