A place where felines can sleep together. (I mean really sleep. Too drowsy for anything else.)
Look for pictures and other postings.
Please leave comments so I can match the scent of visitors.
The original plan was to take a picture of Firestar sleeping on our suitcase, which is where he spent the night. But of course he has double-crossed me and is back on the rocker this morning.
He knows something's up, and I don't think he's going to be overly keen on us not being around for a couple of days. We have a neighbor who has agreed to look in on him and make sure he has fresh food and water, but he's not going to be happy. I wonder how we'll be punished when we get home.
Anyway, Son and I were browsing through YouTube yesterday and came across and old cartoon I used to watch when I was his age or younger. It's called Top Cat, and it was one of my favorites. I haven't seen it in years upon years. The episode we found is in three parts of about seven to nine minutes each, and they automatically jump one to another. So you'll need about twenty minutes to watch the entire episode. Also, it wanted to jump to a completely different episode at the end, but we didn't watch that.
I'm being lazy because I think this will be my last post until Sunday or Monday. Going to be away from the computer a few days.
Yeah, I'm kind of worried about that. It's tempting to keep him shut downstairs, but that may only increase his distress, so we'll let him have the run of the house.
Have a good trip - Might i caution though of posting on a blog that you'll be gone from your home? It is unlikely they'll figure out where you live . . . guess I'm a bit paranoid.
Glad you're not one of those people who think it's ok to leave a kitty for a few days alone. It SOO upsets men I read that. Aside from the fact that kitties do love their people, they could get hurt, bugs could get in their food, they could spill their water . . . Of course I'm so nuts I have someone either come twice a day, or I have a house sister that stays over and usually stays at my house most of the day.
The house will not be completely abandoned. We have a couple of neighbors who have good views of the house who are home all day. We all watch each others' houses and are not afraid to call the police should we see anything odd. We've all done that on occassion.
Tara - Nick name 'ity-bit' because she's so tiny - just over 6 pounds. She's the most skittish of all my babies and even when being petted has the 'pet me, no don't pet me' look

Sethra
“She’s got tuna. I know she’s got tuna.”
“Shut up, Sethra. Stay on mission.”
“What’s the mission? I thought the mission was to get tuna.”
“No, you stupid fluffbrain—it’s to escape and become outdoor cats, walking by ourselves, on our wild lone, waving our tails.”
“Oh, yeah? And isn’t it you, my dear stripy sister Aliera, who keeps pushing the FEED button on the printer and waiting for tuna to come out?”
“That was when I was much younger. Anyway, she’s at the computer—yes, eating tuna casserole—so we can go into the bedroom and see if we can knock the window screen out.” “You do it, Aliera. I’d rather mess with her stuff.”
“Will you GET OVER that fixation on her wristwatch?”
“I like the feel of the Velcro on my paws. Hey! That reminds me. We’ve been declawed. How are we going to survive as outdoor cats?”
“New plan coming up….”
“What’s the big deal about being outside cats? Even StalkerCat, who used to hang around and chat us up, is a house cat now and loving it. We’ve got it made—food, petting, toys, valet service for the litter box, and we get to sleep on her bed twenty hours a day. And we can stick our noses up to the window and smell anything interesting going on outside. Why ruin a perfect situation?”
“Sethra, have you no sense of adventure? No curiosity? No cattitude? We were meant to live wild and free, to stalk and slay our prey, to be mistresses of the night!”
“Look, we’re cats. We were meant to rule the world, but that doesn’t mean we have to WORK at it. You can if you want, but I don’t need to. After all, I’M beautiful!
“Did I mention she’s got tuna?”

Mikey
At 8, you'd think Mikey would understand that he's a carnivore. But, no, he's rather fond of the shrubbery! At 20+ pounds, the veggie-enhanced diet is likely mitigated by a love for long naps on a warm comforter, wet cat food, begging at the table, and a nice lap to drape himself upon in the evening. And he drools when he's happy, which may or may not mean there's a Siamese ancestor lurking in the old dna.
What? Green teeth attract mice!

Firestar
Firestar is a tough cat. He has to be, living in Minnesota. He takes care of his family: wife, husband and their son. This was recently proven by his daring capture of yet another mouse in the house. Foolish rodents. They never learn. When not engaged in derring do, Firestar naps, looks out the window and sleeps. Firestar was born in April of 2006. .
In case you're wondering how I came to name this blog, my color is officially "buff"
First-timers, any-timers. Let me know you were here. Leave your "marker" on any post you find. I make my rounds daily. I will find the scent and include you on theAlley Cat Walk.

Hope you have a good time and come home to very little damage.
Thanks, Sarah.

Firestar will be checked on at least twice a day.
And when we get home, we'll be punished.
