Catmas

Catmas was very wonderful. I got a bag of Greenies. Chicken Greenies. Which GoG has not been giving me for a while (I think she has forgotten what her name means for the past few months). So Bearded Scritcher gave them to me. Mmmmmm... I haven't had chicken Greenies before. They are delicious. I ate them all, then asked for more, and when I didn't get any, I ate the rest of the tuna ones (The Grump's) and the beef ones (Henry's). They each got their own bag, but they didn't finish and I was still hungry, so I cleaned up the mess. Except The Grump's weren't as good because she only eats the head of each Greenie and spits out the tail so they were covered in spit. Henry ate some of his and one of the Grump's. Then Short Girl pulled out the Horrible Noisy Thing from her stocking. GoG said it was a joke gift. It made horrible noises that sounded like cats in pain or really mad or something. But none of us liked it. Everytime she tried to move it away, it made that noise. I shudder at the thought. Uhhhhhhhhhhhggggggggggggg. Then it disappeared and we haven't heard it since. Henry says she stuffed it in her closet. I'm glad.
Then at dinner, I was not given any meat. Apparently, this thing that smells delicious is called "Hammm." And it seems I will get sick if I eat it. Well, I still want it. It's my choice wether or not I want to be sick, yes? But no hammm for this cat on Catmas. Oh well. I have my Greenies. That'll have to be enough.

A Heavenly Friday Five

I am in Seattle assisting with family stuff and preparing to attend a memorial service (Saturday) for my sister who died of complications of early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

I am not grieving much, since the shock and tears and goodbyes and losses have been many and have occurred for a long time now. I am mostly relieved that my wonderful sister and best friend is free from pain and confusion, and I am thinking of eternity. That sounds somber, but I don't mean it to be. I decided to have a little fun with the idea. So how about we share five "heavenly" things? These can me serious or funny or a combination of the two.

What is your idea of a heavenly (i.e. wonderful and perfect):

1. Family get-together

Not too many people, and anyone who comes has to give me their undivided attention. They have to be available at any time for scritches, and playing.

2. Song or musical piece

Anything GoG plays on the Shiny-screen that's not too loud.

3. Gift

Lots and lots of Greenies and lap time.

4. You choose whatever you like-food, pair of shoes, vacation, house, or something else. Just tell us what it is and what a heavenly version of it would be.
Greenies- Unlimited supply of them, and they would taste even BETTER than they already do. GoG would be able to give me as many of them as I want, and I wouldn't get sick.

5. And for a serious moment, or what would you like your entrance into the next life to be like?

What, from your vantage point now, would make Heaven "heavenly?"
Lots of Greenies and fishy snacks, my family, I wouldn't be afraid of people, the people there would be veeeeeeery nice to me.

What a relief!!!!!

Giver of Greenies and String Puller came home with NEW packages of Greenies! NEW, I tell you! The old package is gone, the new has come! And they taste just fine. (I did check them to be sure.)

Nothing like Greenies to make a kitty a happy cat!

Greenies haiku

most tasty of treats,
good cat gets hers, tricks or not!
i am quite sneaky.

don't wave that Greenie!
smells too good to be polite.
i will eat your hand!

T.O.C.* is dumb;
leaves her Greenies by her dish.
hmmm! they disappeared!

give high five and purr,
roll over and sing sweet songs,
watch me do my tricks!

i eat all my Greenies;
no more stinky tuna breath -
of course i'm perfect!
