Mancat Monday

I am just being a good kitty, watching Mom crawl around on the floor with the camera, trying to get good pictures of us.  Mom, you didn't do a Mother's Day post, so we could wish you a Happy Mother's Day.  It's all we could give you, because we don't have any green papers and aren't allowed to leave the house, anyway.

Karen Jo:  You gave me a much better Mother's Day gift than you know.  Neither of you was being a cranky kitty today.  There was lots of playing, with chase and tag being the main games.  Last night you both came to bed with me and let me pet each of you with one hand, with no jealousy.  Herman, you even let me weigh you without any fuss.  The best present of all it that it looks like you have lost a pound.  I would like to take you to the vet's and use their scale to make it official on Tuesday.

I don't want to go to the vet's.

Karen Jo:  It will just be a nice ride in the stroller, into the vet's, up on the scale, and home again. I will take the stroller in empty earlier, so I can subtract that weight.

I still don't want to go.

Karen Jo:  If you have lost a pound, then you get to keep your kitten dry food, which you like.  If you haven't lost that pound, I will have to stop giving it to you.

Hmmm, a trip to the vet's doesn't sound so bad now.  That was a nice game we played tonight.

Karen Jo:  I enjoyed it, too.  I know that you don't enjoy Da Bird nearly as much as Emma does, so after I played Da Bird with her for a while, I got out your mousie wand toy and moved it back and forth between you and Emma.  Both of you took turns catching it.  Oddly enough, Emma got tired of the game before you did.  You are usually the first one to stop playing.

I think Emma got hungry or thirsty.  She headed into the kitchen. We are almost out of Stinky Goodness.

Karen Jo:  Not any more.  I brought you home 48 cans tonight.

When are you going to start eating something good for lunch again?

Karen Jo:  As soon as I find something that I want to cook.  It's about time for chicken again, unless some good beef is on special.

It sounds good to me, as long as you don't cook pot roast.

Herman, paws crossed that you get to keep eating kitten food! We bet the games you and Emma play are keeping you both trim.

We hope Karen Jo had a nice Mother's Day; it sounds like you two were fun and lovey for her.

Herman I love the color of your tent. It is such a pretty color of green. Sure hope you lost that pound so you can get the food you like. The last time Mom and Dad had chicken it had a lot of spices on it so I didn't get any. Durn. Hope your Mom had a great Mom's Day.

Herman and Emma, that is so great you are playing chase, gettin on the bed together, and lettin Karen Jo pet both of you at the same time. And, Herman, all that good exercise is probly helpin you out a lot!

We love chicken mostly, so TBT buys 3 chicken thighs. He spices up and batters 2 fer hisself an one plain fer us! Ummm, good! He uses thighs because they stay moist when baked an we all appreciate THAT! Lasts both he and us 2 days.

It sounds like you and Emma gave your mom a GREAT Mother's Day, Herman. :)

We hope the visit to the V-E-T went okay. So, what happened? Kitten food, or no kitten food?

Have a great weekend, dear friends. :)
