Tuxie Tuesday

 I am just lying around.  I do a lot of this lately.  I am also protecting my chest fur.  Mom gets the scissors out almost every day and wants to snip off some of my lovely fur.

Karen Jo:  You are getting a whole bunch of small mats around your forelegs.  I feel them when I pet you at bedtime.  I try to snip one out every day.  I want to get it under control before you have to get your chest shaved again.

No more shaving!  I hate being shaved.  I guess I will have to put up with the snipping and the furminating, but I still won't like it.

I am getting a nice cool drink of water.  Mom just put cold water in our bowls.  We are both drinking a lot and peeing a lot in this hot weather.

Karen Jo:  I am very glad about that.  It will keep you healthy.  I froze the rest of the pot roast today.  What would you kitties like me to cook next?

Herman and Emma:  Chicken!  Just don't mess it up with a lot of herbs and junk we don't like.

Karen Jo:  Chicken it is.  I will cook some without anything on it just for you.  I am going to try to find a new recipe for me.  I am tired of baked chicken with herbs, though I can use it many ways once it is cooked.  Are you enjoying the fan while I am at work?

I love it.  I lie just in the kitchen doorway, where the fan can cool my tummy fur.  I even feel a little like playing at night.

Emma:  I like it, too.  Herman isn't much fun in the middle of the day.  I can run and jump right over him and he just ignores me.  The good part is that Mom can play  Da Bird with me for as long as I want and he ignores that, too, even though it is at night.  He isn't jealous of me any more.

I have gotten used to having you around.  I know I can pounce you when I feel like it.  I also know that Mom will give us both as much petting as we want at night and early in the morning. There's no reason to be jealous any more.
