Carolina: A Case Study

Our cousin Carolina is a very... dynamic cat.
She's got this weird thing she does where she can flatten herself low enough to slide under the buffet hutch. It's kinda freaky and it totally weirds some of our people out.


She just thinks she's SO COOL.


But I guess we have to admit that she's pretty cute - especially when she scrunches up in a little ball on the stairwell.

Zelda

Zoë here -

I've really gotten into Zelda these last few days. Sometimes mom will come home from work and I'll be sitting in front of the TV playing. BUSTED! Sorry, mom, but at least I wasn't playing your character.

What I really like to do when I'm not playing is to crawl into mom's lap while she's playing. She doesn't like it so much when I distract her (with my extreme cuteness and lovability, no doubt) and the Deku Scrubs take one of her hearts.

Thanks, Uncle Ceece for hooking us up!

Nap Buddies

Applejack here-
Tucker, Carolina, and I had a lovely nap on Lara & Daniel's bed and Mom snuck up to catch it on film.

We Hate the Vet

Zoë here -
I was NOT happy with Mommy today.

She came home early from work so I thought we were going to hang out and have fun together. But then she grabbed me and trimmed my claws. At least she gave me some Greenies afterward.
Then she had that look in her eyes like "I really hate to do this, but..." and I got scared. She was supposed to give me some benadryl before our vet appointment so I wouldn't have an allergic reaction like I did last year. (We went to the emergency room that time because I threw up 15+ times.)
So this time she took me into the bathroom - to keep me contained, because she knows me well - and tried to squirt this nasty tasting pink stuff down my throat. It was so gross and I kept trying to spit it out and I ended up foaming at the mouth and I was dripping foamy saliva all over her and the floor and I tried to run away. Darn that closed door! Mom apologized profusely, but then SHE DID IT AGAIN!!!
No way, man. I was havin' none of it and I made that clear. Eventually she gave up.
But that wasn't the end of it.
She wrangled Applejack and me up and put us in our respective carriers. I hate those things. Then we went for a ride in the car. I hate that thing. But at least I was quiet about it. Applejack cried during the whole car ride. He totally cries like a girl.
We get to the vet, wait for a little bit and then they took me to the back and GAVE ME A SHOT IN MY BUTT!!!! Apparently that's what I get for not drinking the children's benadryl at home.
I'll spare you the horrors of the checkup, but to say that Applejack was so nervous that he drooled all over the table. And I thought I was the scaredy cat!

Wednesday Night

How I Spent My Wednesday Night
by Applejack


I nudged my way into the bed Zoë was sleeping in.


Then, instead of kicking me out, Zoë was nice and cleaned my ears.


At one point Mom made some noise and woke us up.
I yawned.


We decided there wasn't anything interesting going on, so we both fell back asleep.

THE END.

We love Lara

Snuggle time with Auntie Lara!

Why Did Mom Do That?

Zoë here -
My Mommy is so silly. She slept in a different room last night. With the door closed.
Why would she do that? Her bed is perfectly comfortable and it's even bigger than the one she slept in. And she closed the door. I wish she hadn't done that because I wanted to snuggle with her. Maybe she just wanted to be alone. Nah, that's silly.
So I decided I'd go in to tell her "good morning" so she wouldn't have to wait for her alarm to go off. I try to do that for her because she doesn't like the sound of her alarm.
But it was so strange because she looked so shocked to see me there. I don't know why - I tell her "good morning" every morning. Oh well, at least I got breakfast then.
