Suckered again!

You’d think I would have learned by now that there’s no way I’m going to catch that stupid laser light that Rich keeps shining all over the place, but I’m a real sucker for anything that moves.   Last night, he had me jumping up on the wardrobe and back down on the floor chasing that little red light.  When he shone it on my red cube, I jumped inside it and didn’t realize my new toy was already in there.  Oops!  That really gave me a scare and Rich actually came to the rescue.  I guess both he and the old guy are looking out for me.    

A New Place to Hangout.

I like the new entertainment center that Rich brought with him when he moved in with the old guy and I’m hoping I may be able to reserve a shelf where I can hangout once in a while.  I like to spend my afternoons up on top of the closet in the old guy’s office, but it’s also nice to get down to ground level.  The only problem is that there’s a sliding glass door on the entertainment unit and I can’t trust Rich not to trap me on the shelf.  He can be kind of a tease.

 

It's Too Darn Hot!

Sometimes there are days when it’s just too hot and humid to feel like doing much of anything.  Today is definitely one of those days--91° and 52% humidity.  Ugh!  I was enjoying a nice long nap with the old guy when he decided he’d better go for his workout at cardiac rehab.  He woke me up from a very enjoyable snooze, but when he went out to his car and decided this is not a good day for exercise.  Geez!  I could have kept on napping for at least another hour.  Oh well, just don’t expect any videos today showing me running around playing.  Stay cool.

Having fun with iPod ear buds.

I’m still trying to get used to the way Rich plays with me.  He’s a lot more energetic than the old guy and he also likes to tease me.  That’s not very nice!  I guess he used to do a lot of running and was also in several triathlons until he hurt his Achilles tendons a few years back.  Now, he just walks five miles very fast every day.  That’s a long way, but he listens to his iPod while he’s walking and stops off at Starbuck’s at the halfway point.  The ear buds are really fun to play with and I try to grab them anytime they’re laying around the house.  The old guy’s hearing is so bad, he needs to use the headset just to hear his iPhone.  Anyway, it’s fun to play with the ear buds when Rich is swinging them around.  I think I can hear the iPod playing ”What’s new pussy cat?” while I’m trying to grab the headset.

Checking out the shopping.

I can always depend on a little fun when Rich, or the old guy go shopping.  I just love to play with the paper bags or stick my head in the cartons they bring back.  They were gone for a long time today and I guess they were looking for a new bed for Rich’s room.  The one in there now is a queen-size and takes up too much room.  I heard them talking this evening and I guess the store is going to deliver a twin-size bed tomorrow morning and pick up the old bed.  That will give Rich a lot more room and maybe he’ll let me in there more to play.  I know they’re going to lock me in the bathroom when the bed gets delivered so I don’t slip out the door.  I wonder what it would be like to be an outside cat?  The old guy says there are way too many hungry coyotes out there, plus he lives in a senior community and they don’t like pets wandering around loose.  Oh well, I’ve got it pretty good, so I’m not going to complain.

Late Night Attack Cat

It's kinda weird, but sometimes late at night, I suddenly get a burst of energy and just have to get it out of my system.  Tonight is one of those nights and it's also trash night, so I need to make sure the old guy doesn't toss out some of my favorite junk.  Rich is still trying to sort out all of his stuff and get rid of as much as possible, so I also have to watch out that he doesn't throw out anything of mine.  He did buy me a neat new toy a while back and it's a lot of fun to play with when it's real late at night.  I can sneak up on it from all directions and pounce.
I think the old guy is just about ready to call it quits for the day and hit the sack, so this may be my last chance to play tonight before he turns out all the lights.  On guard!



  

Stretching It A Little.

It doesn't take much to keep me entertained when the old guy or Rich aren't playing with me.  A little rubber band is all I need for all kinds of fun.  I can make believe it's a mouse or toy and do all kinds of things with it.  There's nothing like stretching out on the floor with a rubber band late at night.  Great exercise.
