Sunny Day. Cloudy Day

Sunday was nice and sunny.

I enjoyed some outside time with Mom and Daddy.

Mom invited me out to the sidewalk,

so I followed her and got in a good roll.

I didn't feel comfortable staying off the patio for long,

so she brought the tasty plant to me.

Mmmm....tasty plant.

Monday was less than sunny.

At one point it rained for a bit.

So some of my patio time with Mom was spent taking shelter under the chair.

Fortunately it didn't last very long and dried out quickly.

So I was able to get off the patio for a bit.

It was still a warm day after all.

Later the Monday people came over, including Auntie and Uncle.

I, however, was feeling less than social.

At least I got in a nice long nap.

Riding in the Car

Yesterday Mom and Daddy got ready to leave the house.

They asked if I wanted to go, so I went under the bed.

So they left without me.

They were away for hours.

While they were gone, I realized I was missing our 

routine Caturday outing.

So, when they came back, I was more receptive.

Fortunately, they were still willing to take me out.

We went to the park.

They let me sit in my bag for a bit while I adjusted to my surroundings.

I saw ducks.

I kept a low profile...

...and watched the geese.

It was getting close to sunset...

...so we started walking back.

I eagerly got back into the car.

I was really beginning to enjoy my outing.

There was so much to see!

And I was happy being close to Mom.

When we arrived someplace else, 

I was eager to get out and explore.

I looked around and remembered that this was 

the place where Mom goes to with the Teenagers.

(To clear up some common confusion,

if Mom has an office she works at, this is it.

Not the place where the Nice Ladies work.

That's the leasing office for the apartments we live in.)

While we were there, we watched the sunset.

We didn't stay very long.

So it was back in the car!

I'm a pro at this.

To my surprise, we ended up at Auntie's workplace!

She was happy to take a break and see me.

Then the humans stood around a talked for awhile.

I got bored, so I told Mom, by squirming, 

that I wanted out of the bag.

I huddled next to the building and waited.

I could see a lot of humans.

Two people came up and greeted me.

I'd never met them, but they seemed to know Mom and Daddy.

After our visit with Auntie, 

we got back into the car and headed home.

Great Caturday Adventure!

Relaxing Day

Yesterday I was nice and relaxed again.

We visited Nice Lady 2 in the apartment office as usual.

Instead of hanging out near the couch, 

I took to sitting on a chair near Mom and enjoying the 

view out the window.

It was such a nice day and I was feeling so confident,

Mom felt the need to tether me while we were out on the patio.

I guess I had pushed my boundaries.

I went inside to take a nice long cat nap on the back of the couch.

When sunset came, I asked Mom if I could go back outside to watch it.

To my surprise, she said 'yes'!

All in all...

...it was a really nice day!

Mom's Too Social

Yesterday started off fairly normal.

Once again, I was very relaxed visiting Nice Lady 2 in the office.

Even though a lot of people came into the office,

I didn't hide.

I greeted them.

Well, O.K., I made them come greet me.

Just the same, I was not stressed at all.

Then Mom sat outside with me for awhile while she ate lunch.

It was an very nice day!

I was content to stay out there for hours,

but Mom left and went to Poodle Lady's house.

When she came home, I didn't get much time with her.

Sarcastic Monday came and took Mom to the River Trail.

I know that's where they went because I've been there before 

and I'd recognize the smell anywhere.

Here's a picture of the awesome view of the sunset that

they enjoyed without me:

When they returned, Mom began making dinner before

tending my needs.

Finally Mom took a break to assure me that there was 

no monster under the bed.

Before I knew it, Monday Aunt and Uncle came over too.

So, that means that all the Monday People were over...

ON THURSDAY!

Humans!

Sarcastic Monday left, so Mom and Monday Aunt sat down

to watch some show while Monday Uncle worked on his computer.

I snuggled next to Mom and waited for Daddy to come home.

He's been coming home so late!

It's a good thing Mom and Daddy keep cat hours.

That way I get to see Daddy for a few hours before bedtime.

No Stress Today!

Yesterday I was so laid back!

When Mom and I went to visit Nice Lady in the office,

I didn't hide under the couch...

I frolicked on it.

Even when Maintenance Guy 1 came in,

I was completely confident and relaxed.

Maybe a little bored,

but definitely not stressed.

Then Wednesday Guy came and got Mom early.

It was so abrupt!

I waited for hours for her to get home.

I played with Mimzy, but what I really wanted to do 

was go outside.

Finally!

She came home and I went right out the door!

She dragged me back in for a short time 

before putting me on my tether.

That was nice, but not quite what I had in mind.

Every time Mom stepped inside the house for half a second,

I yelled at her with my most discontented meow.

Fortunately, Mom was feeling generous and took

me for a nice long nighttime walk.

I was able to get a nice good sense of what's 

been going on in my neighborhood!

A Little Separation Anxiety

Yesterday Mom left me for hours.

I was so happy to see her when she got home!

When she went outside, I went meowing after her.

So she put my harness on and let me stay.

Then some new guy came over and played video games.

He was really nice to me.

Mom, however, decided to mess with me.

She said if I wasn't going to play with the feather, 

I may as well wear it.

Sure Mom.  Whatever.

After the guy left, I ran around trying to get Mom to play with me.

She just filmed me, so I tried to act nonchalant.

Since she wouldn't play with me or take me on a nighttime walk,

I just curled up wherever I could that was close to her.

Even though she doesn't give me everything I want,

I still feel the need to be near her as much as possible.
