SHE’S GONE!! Yep – in spite of my best “poor pitiful me” cry and look she took her overnight bag (well, two overnights but who’s counting except me?) and hopped in her car and off she went. Sniff. I tried – I really did – but she wouldn’t be swayed. Even by this:
Poor pitiful me….and I’m saying it with my eyes AND my voice!
So Dad and I are gonna make the best of it…….there will be lots of burping and watching of guy stuff on TV (like my Dad’s overly extensive collection of flying and train videos) and other manly stuff. Yep – no girls though – I promised Mom there would be none of that. We’re just gonna hang and have quality time together.
Playing on the stairs!
Playing on the floor….
Football !
I’ll also be pitiful enough that he takes me outside for a stroll several times over the days Mom’s gone – and when it comes to treats? Well, I’ll make sure he knows I get LOTS of those from Mom and he’d better try to beat her at that…..(hee hee).
I get my cookies on a floor mat by my Dad’s chair.
So I will be VERY busy while Mom’s gone and that will make the time just FLY…….right? However, I will miss Mom’s lap and while I’m SURE my Dad would be thrilled if I popped up on his legs for a snooze while Mom’s gone, experience has shown me that it’s just NOT THE SAME………he’s wiggly and gets up every five minutes for something or another………nope – when it comes to laps, there’s NOTHING like a Mom!!

Hi Fozziemum! I was a VERY good boy. Mom got home a little while ago and Dad didn’t have to give her any negative reports about me (of course). She brought me a bag of treats to try but I spit them out – ICK. Other kitties love them – “Greenies” – but not me…..I’m a most particular guy I guess. Oh well – she’s promised not to go away without me again until she and Dad take a mini-vacation but I will get to go to kitty camp so that’s not too bad. I guess.

Sammy, we’re not supposed to tell, but our humans left us on Wednesday and are not coming back until next Friday. That will already be October.
