Gerbil Mania

I was tired this morning and decided to stay home from work. That's okay. I was ahead of schedule at work. I also have the ability to work from home. People who really need me know how to track me down to call me.

I was being productive in our computer room. Then I heard a commotion coming from our TV room. The noise would not go away. I came in to see a flurry of gerbil activity. Out home gerbils were wrestling with each other. They were also running in their wheel, with bedding flying around.

The main disturbance was coming from the big school gerbil cage. I guess Little Kat did not bring them back to school today. Some gerbils were violently scrating at thier little wooden house. Others were scrating at the cardboard box placed in their cage. another was in their bath flinging corn meal around. And some were digging like crazy, making the bedding fly.

Not sure why these lil guys were wild. Maybe they heard me and wanted some attention. Perhaps the leaf blower or lawn mower noise from outside drove them batty. Eventually they calmed down and went to sleep. Sheesh.

New Couch Time

The couch in our living room is falling apart. The seams have split near the back where you sit. This is not unexpected. We had this thing when we moved into the house. It is time for a new one.

We almost bought a new one last year. But the sales clerk at the store that I liked try to pull a fast one and charge me more at checkout. She would not change the price to the amount we had agreed upon, so I would not buy that couch.

Today I went to another one of the company stores I like. There was a guy there from another state. He had a lot of trouble taking my order. He kept calling his boss on this cell phone. After he entered my order, I reviewed it on the computer screen and found a lot of problems.

Hopefully in one week, we will have 2 new black leather couches delivered. They have good support for sitting. They also are very puffy and comfy. We are getting two because the love seat costs the same as a couch. Might as well get a longer piece of furniture for the same price.

House Building

Today Momoko and Kit Kat went to Momoko's school to get ready for the start next week. Momoko also went to straighten out Little Kat's middle school issue. He was still not sure which school he will be attending this year.

Little Kat and I took the truck to the store. We spied on some wood for Little Kat to build his mini house in the back yard. He had some real expensive ideas.

We looked at home sheds for sale at the store as well. Little Kat studied their construction to help figure out how to build his own house.

Hunted by Jaguar

I was in my house. Actually it looked more like the house of my parents. I found myself in the basement. And I thought I overheard a conversation upstairs about a jaguar being on the loose. That sounded like crazy talk.

I heard a noise outside. Like a dummy I opened the back door. That's where I saw the jaguar. It was all black. In person this cat looked much more dangerous than just seeing a picture. It had really strong legs. And I thought I could also tell that it had a strong jaw. It seemed to position itself as is it was going to lunge at me and the door. So I hurried to close the door. I had trouble securing the door shut.

After that I ran upstairs. Halfway up the stairs I looked out another door that faced the back yard. I saw the jaguar again. For some strange reason, I wanted to taunt it. I started banging on the window. The jaguar looked a bit confused. I laughed. Then I practiced my escape by seeing how quickly I could run upstairs. I got caught in the upstairs door and decided I should stop this nonsense of teasing this killer cat.

Then I woke up. My muscles were still tense from fearing this jaguar. People say that your dreams all mean something. What does the image of this jaguar mean for me and my future? Is it time to invest in some more home security? Or are my real parent in danger sometimes soon? These are the things that keep a black cat such as myself up at night.

Chicken Out

It was a long day at work for this cat. I was happy to leave and come home. So I am driving my car. Who do I see ahead of me at the light? It is Kitty Kat.

I pull in to the house right behind her. She and the kids have a lot of bags. Guess they went shopping. I grabbed the mail and followed into the house.

Good news. Kitty got us some dinner. I like it when I don't have to hunt for my food. We are eating Chicken Out tonight. You know cats love chicken. And the cows are happy with that too. Mmm mmm. I love a Caesar salad when there are chicken strips on top. Thanks Kitty.

Little Kats

Tonight Little Kat went to visit one of his kat friends. He is going to spend the night there. Kitty Kat and Kit Kat were off doing some work. So I came home to an empty house today.

Luckily I knew nobody would be home. And so I picked up a little cat treat for myself. Yay. Now I am listening to some music. Treat tasted pretty good.

What is that? I hear some noise outside. Maybe Kitty and Kit are home. I had better go then.
