Mancat Monday

Mom didn't take a picture of me today, so here's a blast from the past.  Mom really has to get her picture taking together.  She forgets a lot.  Luckily, she often has extras, but not today. Emma and I are getting really used to each other.

Karen Jo:  I'll say you are.  When I woke up early this morning to go to the litter box room, both of you were in bed with me.  Your back paws were almost touching.  I wish I had had my camera handy.

That was Emma's idea.  She got in bed with me.  I was just where I was when we went to sleep.

Karen Jo:  You are confusing Emma about the food dishes.  Sometimes you let her share and sometimes you don't.

It all depends on how much I like what is in the dish.  If I really want it, I don't want her sharing until I am finished.  Otherwise, she is welcome to share while I am eating.

Karen Jo:  You seem to like to watch her play.

She's fun to watch.  She really goes after Da Bird.  While you are at work, she drags it under the corner table to play with it by herself.

Karen Jo:  It's Mancat Monday, but we are talking about Emma.  What have you been up to lately?

Just my usual.  I eat, sleep, take care of business and play some.  I like to hide and peek out at Emma, like I am going to pounce her when she goes by.  It makes her nervous and she runs by.  Sometimes I chase her.  We both like that.  I like to get my bedtime petting.

Karen Jo:  I have noticed that some of your fur is trying to mat again.  You even have a tiny mat near your elbow.  I am going to have to snip that out.

You will have to be fast.  I hate scissors.

Karen Jo:  You don't seem to mind so much if I pet you a lot first.

You better pet me a whole lot first if you are coming near me with scissors.  I would love the attention.  That reminds me that I love to scratch for a treat while Emma is watching.  She always runs to scratch on the furniture and doesn't get a treat.  That makes me laugh.  That stuff you bought to spray where she scratches to make her stop scratching there doesn't seem to be working.

Karen Jo:  I haven't noticed her avoiding any of the places I have sprayed.  In fact, she seems to find the smell interesting.

Score another one for the kitties.  I think Emma is going to scratch on the furniture forever.
