When I play with Rich, it’s a lot different than playing with the old guy and I really get a workout.Last night, he had me up on top of his wardrobe trying to catch one of the Angry Birds toys that Hartz sent to me.It sure was a lot of fun, but he totally wore me out and I had to take a break with Rod when we were through playing.I’m glad my claws have grown back quite a bit in the last couple of weeks and I was able to grab that bird quite a few times while we were playing.
The old guy has been getting kinda lazy lately about helping me with my blog and I hate to admit it, but I need a little help from him.He and Rich left me all alone on Sunday and went up to San Clemente to have brunch with all of the family.Jill, the old guys daughter, was visiting for a few hours and handing out Christmas presents.She was really generous and one of her presents for Rich was an iPhone telephoto lens kit.Here’s a shot of me in my new cube that was taken with it.Pretty cool.
The old guy also got to see his great-grandson, Odin, for the first time and is really proud of him.He finally spent some time with me last night and we had some fun on his chair with the angry bird I got as a gift from Hartz.When I’m playing with the old guy, I don’t even have to get up and can just have fun while I’m lying on his lap.Rich makes me chase all over the house.I’ll have a video of Rich playing with me with the same toy on my next blog.What a difference!
It looks like I have a little competition these days. Carli, the old guy's granddaughter just gave birth to Rod's first great-grandson, Odin Cruse Anderson, on December 13. He weighed in at over 8-1/2 pounds, but he's still not close to my almost 15 pounds. Rod hasn't been talking much about anything else since Odin appeared on the scene. I'm happy for the old guy, but I hope he gets back to paying a little more attention to me. We did get to snooze on the chair for a couple of hours this afternoon, so that was cool. Tomorrow, the old guy's daughter, Jill, will be coming to Orange County for a few hours to have brunch with the family. She's pulling an inspection trip to Vietnam over the holidays, so she won't be home for Christmas. I guess I'll be on my own while Rich and the old guy go up to San Clemente, so I'm glad I've got all those nice new toys from Hartz to play with while they're away.
Wow!Rich contacted Hartz to see if they had any angry birds for cats and he talked to a really nice lady.She ended up sending me a whole box of toys as a special Christmas present.What a nice surprise!I have so much fun stuff now that I’m not sure where to begin.I sure am lucky.Thank you Rich, and thank you very much, Hartz.I wish I could share some of this stuff with kitties that aren’t as fortunate as me.I’ll try not to act like a really spoiled pussycat.
It's on days like this that I'm really glad to be an indoor kitty. We live in sunny Southern California, but it's been cold and raining and there's supposed to be more of the same for the next few days. A perfect time to curl up and relax with the old guy.
I always know I can have some fun when Rich is around. He plays hard and likes to try and trick me, but I'm pretty smart and can usually figure him out. I really like it when he lets me jump in the cube and then he swings me around. The old guy isn't very good at that kind of stuff, but he can at least take a video of me while I'm playing.
Christmas is coming and I'm looking forward to getting a bunch more "stuff" to play with while I'm laying around the house.
