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.

Why does she make that noise?

The Grump is not a very nice cat. Recently, whenever I ask her to play, she has started to make strange noises. I just walk up to her, and ask politely if she would like to play a game of tag, because I am very bored. But she hunches over like a "gar-goi-ul" (as GoG puts it) and makes "grem-lun" noises like "rrglgrllrgrlrlgrllrggrlrlllrlglrlg" really low. And then she runs away. And I only wanted to play. And I asked really nicely, staying two feet away and addressing her paws and all that. Why doesn't she like me? But Tiria is being nicer. She lets me share the Warm Bed with her. But I have to stay at least a foot away, or she makes a funny noise like "k-k-krrprr" and jumps off. So why does the Grump behave differently?
