Bored Doesn't Begin to Cover It

Today got off to a nice slow start.

From my spot by the window, I went to my spot in the closet.

From my spot in the closet I made the big leap to...

My Ultimate Box of Rebellion.

Then Mom and Daddy left me alone in the house.

I played with Mimzy while they were gone.

I brought her all the way down the hall and played with her on the couch.

I left her there for Mom to find when she got home.

That way she would know exactly how bored I had been!

It worked!  When she got home she let me outside right away!

She and Daddy sat outside with me for awhile.

I lounged on the sidewalk.

Of course, what I really wanted was a nighttime walk!

To my surprise,

Mom put my leash on...

and walked me!

But it was way to brief!

So I sat behind Mom on the couch and looked as pitiful as I could.

Mom opened a window for me.

It's nice, but not enough!

I WANT OUTSIDE NOW!!!

MEOW!

MEOW!

MEOW!

Unsettled

Today I didn't want to leave the bedroom window.

But Mom left the room and didn't come back.

She had left the outside door open,

but that didn't stop me from jumping up into my 

Ultimate Box of Rebellion.

Of course, I eventually gave in and went outside.

Mom got me to play....briefly.

I stalked something...

until a skater went by and scared me.

I rolled on the sidewalk...

until I heard a noise.

I ate some tasty plant...

until Mom walked too far away.

I smelled something strange in the rocks...

until I realized I was out in the open.

I enjoyed the spot under the patio table...

until the upstairs neighbor made a noise.

I sat on the grass...

until the other upstairs neighbors made a lot of noise.

I made Mom watch me every time I ate.

Then, the Teenagers came over.

So I sat in the window and ignored them the best I could.

I watched Loud Girl leave.

I thought maybe it was a bit more safe.

I even sat outside with them for a bit.

But then Loud Boy decided to stalk me all night.

Even the window wasn't safe.

Now they're all gone except Nice Boy

and I'm sitting calmly in the window.

So...Nighttime walk?

I've earned it!

Anti-Social

Today had all the appearances of being normal.

Then Nice Boy came over as I was sitting in my

Ultimate Box of Rebellion.

Then Mom started breaking ice out of the ice trays.

So naturally I jumped down and ran into the bedroom to hide.

Then Mom and Nice Boy left, came back, and left again.

This time for hours!

When Mom came home she sat outside with me.

I was feeling a bit insecure.

At first I sat under the chair on the right...

Then I moved close to Mom....

When I felt comfortable enough,

I sat in my usual spot under the patio table.

Then two little girls came over and tried to make friends with me.

I was shy.

I went inside for awhile and missed the sunset.

But then I got brave and came outside to meet them.

After they went home I was adventurous.

But then I went and sat on the neighbor's patio and Mom made me come in.

All I could think about was going back outside.

Then, finally!

She let me back outside!

The security guard came by and tried to make friends with me.

He's been doing this almost every night for 2 months.

I'm making him work for it.

Then I hollered for Mom's help.

I saw a bug!

I huge flying bug!

Mom! I can't reach it! Help!

It got away, but I'm going to keep checking that corner anyway.

Frightful Day

Today started off just fine.

It was pretty normal.

Mom and I went outside.

I sat under the patio table.

Then we went to get the mail.

Then, when we got back I sat under the table some more.

Then Mom called me inside while she went to the restroom.

I got lonely quick!  As soon as she closed the door I meowed and meowed.

I even brought Mimzy down the hall to wait for her with me.

But then...it all went bad!

Mom wasn't in there for long, but it happened so fast!

A kid started going by again and again on a skateboard.

Mom opened the door just to film the villain.

I got scared!

Mom called and called to me

until she found me under the bed.

She tried to comfort me.

But I wasn't about to come out!

Then, of all things, Mom had to leave me!

When I got brave enough to come out,

I brought Mimzy into the bedroom with me.

I couldn't wait for Mom and Daddy to come home!

Finally! The came back!

I was SO happy to see them!

Mom gave me some love!

Daddy said something about going outside!

So Mom got my harness.

I was actually eager to get it on!

I purred and rubbed against my harness of all things!

Then they sat outside with me to enjoy the warm night.

Now my favorite Aunt and Uncle are here too.

I'm sure glad things got better!
