KattyCat & the writer's block.

Mummy's breakfast on the table - CHECK
A laptop - CHECK
A sunny spot with a cushion - CHECK
Adventures to tell the world - CHECK
Catnip to trigger inspiration - missing.

KattyCat, playboy kitty

I think my humans have no clue about privacy.
I mean come-on, i do show them my belly, but it's because i love THEM, and it's not for the whole world wide web to see !
Yet, time and time again, they take pictures of me in ANY kind of positions possible.
Look at this one for example - this was a PRIVATE bath time on the sofa, while i was high on catnip and happy with life - why does it end up on this blog, i don't know. There are things a little cat cannot control.
(sigh)
There should be a law for cats to own the right to their image.

KattyCat, sun worshipper

I think spring is back !
Oh i love spring, the sun, and the birdies singing all day long.
Oh happy days coming up !
Sleeping on my cushion on the window seat all day long, only to be woken up by the feather things on the trees, or the feather thing in the living-room.
This is THE life.
Playing, sleeping, watching.
Shame my humans are a bit stressed at the moment - too much work i've heard them say, it makes them cranky and quick to argue.
Can't they see that all of this doesn't matter when the sun is BACK !
.

KattyCat, all by herself.

They've done it.
I'm still in shock.
How could they ?
Leaving me ? All alone ? For 3 WHOLE NIGHTS ?
That's not fair, that's not allowed, or that shouldn't be.
Oh i know, they've sent Auntie J. to give me food and play with me everyday. And i have to admit, Auntie J. is super nice, and she has REAL birds at home, so hopefully i can visit her sometimes and have a nice close look at her buggies.
But still, can you imagine ?
NOBODY to sleep on at night ?
NO lap, NO belly, NO play-time before bed, NO cuddles in the middle of the night, NO NOTHING !?
I have to find a way, i have to make sure this doesn't happen ever again.
I can't have my heart broken another time.
Nobody leaves Katty in a corner.
.

KattyCat, on the hunt.

Oh my god, a bird has entered the flat.
I think it's on a string, and it does disappear quite mysteriously inside a cupboard when my play time is over.
But when it's around, flying back and forth, IT IS THE BEST THING EVER !
I've managed to catch it a few times, and i love it so much it makes me growl and hiss - don't even think of coming between me and Da Bird.
Seriously, kitty friends, get one. This is fabulous.
.

KattyCat should know better than to say: "Fontaine, je ne boirai pas de ton eau".

I've been given this strange thing today. Weird. They've put it next to my water bowl. I'm not sure what i'm supposed to do with it - it's rather noisy and there seem to be water flowing through it. I don't like water. I'm scared of water. Well, except the water that's in my water bowl, of course.
I heard mummy say something like "come on chachat, try your water fountain!" I have no idea what she was on about. I mean, is she really thinking that i'm going to drink from SOMETHING ELSE than my water bowl ? I mean, come on, i love to see my humans slaving away mornings and evenings, neatly cleaning my bowl, and filling it with fresh water. Why would i need something that doesn't require any human's help twice a day ?
I mean, my humans are ALWAYS at hand twice a day.
Well, i guess if they were planning to go away for a short time, that'd be different.
But don't be ridiculous, surely they're not going away. Surely they're not planning a week-end without me - surely not. Come on. I've raised them better, they wouldn't dare.
So there remains my question: why the silly plastic noisy watery thing ?
.

KattyCat, neighbourhood watching.

I got this for Christmas.
A bird feeder.
You see, i live on the 3rd floor, so i can see the birds nesting in the trees, or feeding from the backgarden. But they don't come near me.
Oh, i'm not shortsighted - i can observe quite well from my high tower.
Still, birds just behind my window, i have to say that my humans had a brilliant idea there.
So far, not so much has happened - the grand-parents spotted a couple of blue tits when they slept in MY playroom the other week, but i haven't been that lucky.
But i'm waiting.
It's been snowing again, they're bound to want my food.
They're bound to come to me.
In the meantime, a squirrel is building a nest in the big tree, and it's quite a thrill.
Seriously, i love day-time TV.
.

KattyCat loves GrandPa.

The grandparents are back for the week-end.
It's christmas all over again.
And i'm the baby jesus, the christmas tree, the wonder, the centre of all the conversations.
I'm not sure there's anything better than being a grandcat.

KattyCat & her personal trainers

Well, once again, i'm puzzled by my humans.
I mean, no more than a week ago, they were concerned that maybe my tummy was a bit too large. (maybe). And they've started to use the string more than usual, to get me moving.
I thought that was all good.
So good indeed, that my exercise sessions are the new best thing on earth ever.
I can't get enough.
And here they are, all concerned that i don't run to my food when they're back at night, or that i don't seem to care for catnip in the morning, or that i don't even want to jump on the sofa at any time (even when daddy's busy with his laptop - that's usually my clue to go and climb all over him).
No, all i do is standing by my bedroom door and meow for more play.
And more.
And more again.
I just want to chase the string.
What's the problem with that, i thought i was being a dutiful good cat !
Seriously, those humans, they're so queer !
(and i've seen mummy shuffling some old toys to grab that silly panic mouse she bought last Chritmas - well, i say, i do not care for exercise without a personal trainer, and will REFUSE to play with the panic mouse. Just like i did for months last winter. Who's ever heard of a cat without a personal trainer ?!)
.

KattyCat, getting self-conscious.

More and more people are commenting on my belly.
It seems that perhaps, there is a possibility that i may have put on a little bit of weight in the last year.
Hm, not much.
I mean, humans, think of it, when you put on a kilo, you don't over-react, do you ? It's not the end of the world, is it ?
So, why should i worry ?
Just for a little wee small and insignifiant kilo ?
I know the vet said that if i was continuing to "grow", i would probably have to go on a diet. I know.
But, is it my fault if my humans are often too busy to move a string ?
I mean, i do not want a diet: i want a daily work-out ! With string, hair-bands and christmas balls !
More food, more play !!
(if my humans read this - especially my daddy - could you please help with the moving-the-string part ? Those "belly" comments need to stop - it's never good for a girl's self-image. Thanks !)
