This is my cubby hole bed on my tower. When I’m not tucked next to Mom or Dad at night, this is my favorite spot to nap. I can keep an eye on every thing and everyone in this room with me. It has a heated mat that fits over an opening in my tower, indenting the fleece cover a little, making it perfect for all Ruby-sized cats.

Which is only me, because I’m little which my Dad says makes me adorable . . .

. . . unlike that other cat who’s staying in here because she’s not adorable.

The End.

There’s a cat in here who isn’t adorable? Unacceptable! Let me pee on them!”

05/14/2018 – Monday Mayhem

What a weekend! We can always tell when a dramatic weather change happens. Not because we watch the local news or look out the window, but because the cats let us know. When the weather is cold and changes in a single day to very warm or when we go from hot to very cool, usually, they throw a barf-fest. It’s not as glamorous as it sounds, trust us.

This season, however, some kitties have thrown us something new – Whap-fest. Naturally, Tessa began the whole thing by whapping Viola while asleep in a favorite Ham-mick. When Tessa was done with that (we won’t mention Dad yelling at Tessa to knock it off), Miss Newton decides to start picking on Tessa, who if you recall her current ploy of trying to look innocent, started crying like a baby.

Dad yelled at Miss Newton to knock it off and Miss Newton just wouldn’t stop. So, she got squirted with the water bottle, to which Miss Newton said, “So what? Is that the best you’ve got?”

Miss Newton, once upon a time you were such a sweet cat. Then you started hanging out with Tessa. *tsk tsk*

Meanwhile, after taking a rude wake-up whapping, Viola did some whapping back, prompting Mom to yell this time. Viola, then, sauntered off to a new napping spot and all was good.

Or so we thought.

Not more than five minutes later, Tessa, who has never once been a Ham-mick fan, jumps into Viola’s Ham-mick and pees all over it.

Guess who’s grounded to the master bedroom yet again. Once a year we go through this pee-ing thing with Tessa; never due to a UTI or health reason. Tessa just hates Viola, but only a couple of times a year . . . like when we have a weather change. So odd.

A few hours later, we hear cats talking to one another, this time outside, and not using their indoor voices, either.

Not W and neighbor cat J were having words that we’re pretty sure included a couple learnt from Netflix. Mom went out and stood between the two and after a bit, each went their separate way.

Would it be too much to ask for a quiet week?
