Meow like a Pirate!

September

Well it’s the first week of September and here we went from 90+ degrees to 70 degrees and lots of rain.  It was a short but brutal work week on the human.  Wednesday was the worst.  She didn’t get home until after 7:30 p.m.  She was exhausted, hot, sweaty, hungry and in a lot of pain.

Today she got the 7 year anniversary of the first time she used Word Press.  Today it has been raining and gloomy.  Although she had today off, I still got her up at 5:15 a.m.  She was not happy about that at all.  Looks like there will be rain for the next two days.

Hugs and purrs to Bionic Basil as he prepares to cross the Rainbow Bridge.

Sad News

The nice lady who was my mobile vet died over the weekend as a result of injuries sustained in a crash.  She helped with my human’s previous kitty and had to put her down due to something terminal.  She came to the apartment and brought her sons with her.  She gave me my first shots and checked me over to make sure I was healthy.

So the human and I are sad over losing such a sweet, loving, caring person.

Mommy is mad at me

My human is very mad at me for waking her up every day at 5:00 a.m. even if she doesn’t have to get up early.  I also tend to throw up a lot and she gets tired of cleaning up the messes.  I do meow pitifully all hours of the day and it is driving her crazy.

She has a birthday on Tuesday and I think she is grumpy about that.  She also has neck and shoulder pain that never really goes away because of the arthritis in her spine.  Because of all of that she yells at me, flicks water at me and wants me to be quiet and not throw up so much.  Today I almost threw up on her primary computer, that would have been really bad had I ruined it.

Saturday Night Thoughts

It’s the last week of July and surprisingly it’s cool.  The human typist turned the a/c off for awhile and will open the window to let cool air in.

Tomorrow her church is having a block party to get to know the people who live nearby and for them to get to know us.  There will be giant jenga, food trucks, games, outdoor worship and did I mention the food?  The human will be helping register volunteers.

Monday she will be going grocery shopping and doing the laundry.  Neither one is fun when you ride the bus and live on the 3rd floor in an apartment complex.

The human got her hair cut and colored a cute red violet as an early birthday present to herself.  She doesn’t really celebrate with a party,  she has to work on her birthday so it’s going to be simple.

July Musings

Well it’s the 4th of July and people will be shooting off fireworks.  I want to tell everyone that fireworks are dangerous.  Small children and small animals are scared of the big booms.  Every year for about 2 weeks the idiots the next street over shoot them off every single night starting around 9:00 p.m. to around 11:00 p.m..  They annoy my human because they scare me, interfere with the tv satellite signal and her sleep.

The oppressive heat here has just drained my human of her energy.  At her work place there is no a/c and all the fans were moved to another room so she can’t cool down at all.  All of this coupled with the arthritis in her neck and the lack of sleep due to fireworks has made her very grumpy and she acts out with utter frustration.

At least her supervisor at work gave her some cool water and did get a fan for her to help cool down and gave her something else to do and it helped a bunch.

Take care and be safe from the fireworks.

June Musings

Well, it’s the last week of June and it’s been hot and humid here.  The human saw the doctor today and all her labs are good and she doesn’t have to go back until late December.  The assistant saw her doing her needlework and asked lots of questions about it.  She wants to see pictures of the finished piece and of course pictures of moi.  It’s nice that her doctor asks about me and how I am doing too.

CSU (Cat Scout University) has finished classes for the summer and those of us who lived in the dorms have packed up and moved out.

The human will be going to Indiana Beach in July with co-workers.  Free rides, free food and she has a ride to get there and back.

I have found a new treat.  It’s actual filets of salmon, tuna or chicken.  I tolerate them very well, which means, I don’t throw up right after eating them.  They are a little expensive but my human will get them for me when she can.

That’s all for now, hugs and purrs, Ali

June Musings

Well, it’s June.  It’s really hot here.  It makes me really sleepy and I shed a lot.  I do mean a lot.  I continue to wake mommy up every morning around 5:30 a.m.

On Monday, my human tried to get blood drawn for her labs to see her doctor.  I say tried because even though she was stuck twice no blood came out.  So the human had to cancel her appointment with her doctor and will be going on Saturday for try number 2 on blood work.

Today will be a really long boring day at work for the human, 8 hours of building books.  That is putting books into plastic envelopes.  It’s no fun and it’s really boring.  At least it will earn her some money.

On the upside, I am a member of the Cat Scout Search and Rescue Team.  Not bad for a 17 year old cat.

Memorial Day & Race Day

Today we celebrate Memorial Day which remembers those who died in service to this country.  Freedom isn’t free.

It’s also Indy 500 day.  Living only 1 hour away from the racetrack means I can’t see it televised live so I listen on the radio and then watch the replay later tonight.  I have certain drivers that I root for every year.  It really is the greatest spectacle in racing.

Hugs and purrs, Ali

Happy Birthday to Me

I am 17 this month, while the human doesn’t know the exact day of my birth, we celebrate the entire month.  Tomorrow at Cat Scouts we will celebrate all May birthdays and the theme is royalty.  My human calls me Her Royal Cuteness.

We are watching Harry and Meghan get married today.  Soon the human will be going to the grocery store to pick up a few things.  Tonight she will help out at church for Kids Night Out/Parents Night Off.
