Omgosh! I’m sitting here at my desk, head full of “I gots to do this”, and “I gots to do that” when all of a sudden I felt a tap my shoulder. I jumped and screamed bloody murder. Turned around and looked, and was my cat, Harold. Whew! 

Sweet Pea and Harold

Harold and Sweet Pea both have a habit of coming up to me, and tapping my shoulder when I’m sitting at my desk. It’s cute as heck, and I LOVE when they do it. However, it can feel like a person tapping me. When I’m suppose to be alone in the house, and they catch me off guard, it can be quite unnerving. ha! 

Maudie and Harold

If Sweet Pea taps me, it signals “I want kitty treat NOW”. She can be the most persistent little thing until she gets her way. If I don’t respond to her tapping the right way – by opening the drawer beside my desk, and pulling out the magical morsels – her claws start coming out more, and the tapping gets more frantic. HURRY UP!! GIVE ME KTs!! I don’t know what they put in the kitty treats these days, but that girl is addicted to them. 

Btw, we started to call them KTs because we thought we could get away with talking about kitty treats without the cats knowing. That worked for about 2 days, and Sweet Pea, that wise little girl, figured it out. ha! I swear, NOTHING gets by her. She is soooo smart. 

So anyway, Mr. Har-bear wanted to snuggle, and that’s why he was tapping me. Now he’s run off with Maudie, so it’s time for some laughs. Tom Sitter is hysterical. 😀 I would definitely give him a Valentine’s card. See if you agree..

I’ve been an emotional mess

It was an absolutely gorgeous 85F day here today. It was a little too warm for me. I had to dig out some shorts.

My little babies are off to the vet today to be spayed and neutered. We were going to have it done last month, but decided to wait until they were a little bigger. It is surgery, after all. My stomach has been in knots. I worried all last night, and didn’t sleep well. I haven’t been away from them for more than an hour or two since November. The house is soooo quiet, and will be until they come back sometime tomorrow. Even though they have been creating complete chaos, and there’s never a dull or quiet moment since they’ve come to live with us back in November, I miss them so much. And, if it is quiet for a moment, I know I best be checking on them because 9.9 times out of 10, they’re doing something they shouldn’t. 🙂

 So, yeah, it’s much too quiet around here, and I’ve been an emotional mess. Sweet Pea, on the other hand, haha..well, let’s just say she’s getting some much needed uninterrupted rest. This morning she was kinda funny, tho..she couldn’t believe they weren’t hiding around here somewhere, so she kept swatting the air, hissing, and growling..just in case. It didn’t take her long to figure it out, she went on a complete tour of the house, and she was soon back in bed, snoozing. When she’s not sleeping, she’s prancing around like she’s queen of the house, once again. Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!! The annoying little brats are gone!! I’m bracing myself for the hissy fit she has when they return. I think we’ll have to keep them separated for a week or two, until the kittens heal.
