Trauma Drama - When Good Toys Turn Bad

Friends, I have something very important to talk to you about.  Today, one of my favorite toys turned on me.  You may or may not have seen photos of me playing with my feather wand, as shown below:

Today, that feather wand did something very Bad.  It grabbed a hold of my claw and would not let go.  My mom let go of the wand, hoping that once it was free on one end, it would let go of my claw, but it didn't.  I cried, I growled, I hissed, and FINALLY my mom was able to get it free.  To punish it, my mom removed its bell.  Now I can kill it dead and it has no way to cry out.  I've also heard that now, any toys with bells on the outside will have said bells removed, in case all of my toys had a meeting and decided to use their bells as weapons. 

Easy Like Sunday

My mom says I've been a little psychotic lately.  She says that I'll be sleeping away like a little angel, then I wake up all freaked out, using every single one of my claws to escape.  I don't think that's true.  As far as making her bleed, that was an accident, as you all agreed.  I can't explain why I am so jumpy, though, when I'm awake.  Or why I let her out of my sight for hours yesterday and slept on the bed.  Maybe her crabbiness has finally gotten to me - maybe I'm turning into a crab like her!  Well, whatever.  Today is an Easy Sunday - that can all be worried about on Monday.

Oh, and no disrespect to my friends who enjoy the, umm, hot buffet, but I have no interest in eating what I have already eaten and expelled.  I leave that for my mom to clean up.

So What? on Saturday

I ate all of my food (in less than 4 seconds, thankyouverymuch), frew it up, then ate Fuzzy's food.

So what?

I miscalculated the amount of energy I needed to expend to jump from the coffee table to the arm of the chair my mom was sitting in, so I had to stick all of my claws into her leg to avoid crashing to the floor.  She bled a little.

So what?

If I would have used more energy to propel myself forward instead of knocking over the cup of water that was sitting on the coffee table, perhaps my mom would not have bled and would also not have had to clean up her glass of water from the table and floor.

So what?

My name is Zoe, and that's how I roll.  Now if you'll excuse me, I need to make myself scarce. 

Thankful Thursday

Well, Friends, you sure know how to make a cat feel good!  I was so grateful for all of you who were worried that Zoe would not share the toys with me that we won from Miss Sparkle.  But I have to confess, I'm not much of a toy girl.

I can tell this is a high quality toy - it smells real nice.  But I just don't play with toys much.  Oh yes, occasionally I'll toss around a mouse or my favorite ball, but even when I was a young gal, I didn't go nuts over toys.  Now that I'm 16, I still prefer a nap to a feather or a catnip banana.  And besides, when Zoe is playing with toys, she's leaving me alone.  So, have at 'em, little sister!  Go Nuts!  Just go nuts somewhere away from me.

Tuesday is Toysday (Thank you, Miss Sparkle!)

A little while back, we were very lucky girls!  We won a door prize at one of Miss Sparkle's many birthday month parties!!!  The package arrived one day this weekend, and my mom let me check out the loot last night!!!  Lookit!

Our mom got a bookmark (so she can stop using that pathetic Amazon receipt as her bookmark - classy, Mom).  And I got THESE pawsome toys!  A Kitty Kopter, a Pawbreaker catnip ball, and a Zanie Sparkle Fish!  This Sparkle Fish is very pretty, but not nearly as pretty as our friend Miss Sparkle!

This Kitty Kopter smells really cool!  Let's see how it plays...

It's a winner!  Let's check out the other toys...

This catnip balls makes me crazy, even still in the bag!!  It was taken away soon after this - my mom just found my last catnip ball on Sunday, so this one is getting saved for when I lose my other one again.  Rats.  And I carried away the Sparkle Fish to a very special place, and my mom didn't get a photo.  haha!!

Miss Sparkle, thank you so much for my toys!!  I love them ALL!  You have super taste in toys, and I'm so proud to call you my friend!  Happy Toysday, everyone!

Sleepy Saturday

We're still here.  We have a new AC.  We're sleeping.

Love, Zoe

Something on Saturday

Hello, Friends!  We're still here, but things are NOT positive!  Our mom has been super busy at work (which we guess is positive in a way, because that's job security, right?).  It's been stupidly hot here, and our air conditioner has not been working properly.  That has our mom furious and us hot, so we haven't had much to say this week.  Well, we guess that's positive in a way, too, because now she's not abandoning us to go to the lake this weekend.  We just wanted to let everyone know that we're still here, we're still trying to read and comment on blogs when we can, and we'll post again when we have something nice to say!  Have a happy 4th!

 

Clarification:  We are not without an air conditioner.  Ours is just having some problems, so it's not always as cool as we would like it to be.  Our mom is just scared to leave us alone in this drastic heat in case the AC has an episode, and that makes her cranky. Well, crankier.  Oh, and we're not having Blogger problems per se, we're just having problems with our mom having time to visit blogs. :)
