HA!

Kitties!  Woofies!!  Mommy took off like a scalded hog Friday!  She and a dear friend went to visit favorite brovver in NC...way over the mountains.  She just got back an hour or so ago and ran around like someone was chasing her.  She did that for a good hour despite complaining about how hungry she was.  Oh she petted me and smooched me, and I re-scented her for MINUTES along with head bonks and side rubs,  Lots of re-scenting though.  Flopped on my side and asked for and got, pets.  Got a good supper; and after her running around  doing stuffs, she finally made her some tuna salad and wolfed it all down.  Every bit.  Practically licked the bowl. 

I was going to trash the house but I only turned over the  all little trash cans in the bedrooms  Nothing but a few tissues in the,.  Took all the fun out! I opened the curio cabinet bottom doors and made myself at home there.  The cat sitter didn't dump out the scattered litter in front of the litter box, so momhad a lot of sweeping all over the kitchen to do and the dumping off of the rug's accumulation of litter in front of my commode.  The wood floor looks in need of a good cleaning tomorrow.  

Mom spent monies like they were just printed and handed to her from the nearest xerox.  She bought a new area rug for the living room where I pulled the carpet.  This ought to give me something besides the good carpet to claw.  She bought me my own small rug made of jute and sisal,  I hope I like it. 

Mom is very sleepy.  So she's gonna take a hot shower and get bundled up,  It is cold finally. 

Snow was starting in the mountains as mom and Pat got to I-26 headed West...and the surroudings as you can see were whitening.  A year or so ago, the same thing happened and she told me it chased her all the way from NC to home in TN.  Big snow for the Carolinas and TN. that time.  Mom said she was down to 10 MPH in the mountains that time, and was really nervous that someone would plow into her, as it was so hard to see through the snow.  This time it was still  up there and making it's way down. 


Here's my rug.  I'm thinking it over.

Glad your Mom got to go on the trip, sounds like she had a really nice time! I know you were happy to see her get back. Yikes at the snow! Good thing she made it home safely.

Katie, it sounds like your mom had a wonderful time. Maybe just as wonderful coming home as she had visiting. And you got a gift of a new rug. Now that living room rug, we expect your mom not to do many heavy Furniture lifting like she did the last time she got new furniture or a new drug and got into trouble. To responsibility to keep an eye on her.

I am glad your mom had a good time on her trip. Your new rug looks good for claw sharpening! The boys have more cat cam photos up this week.

We know that you'll take to the new rug soon enough, Katie.

That cold air came all the way down to the coast of NC today. Didn't expect it. We really like that rug for scratching! We've been looking for something like that since we pretty much got our stinkies and made new art all over the regular rug.

Dearest Katie Isabella,
SO happy that your Mommy got home safe and well and that she brought you that special rug. You no doubt will like it and CLAW it.
Haha, Mommy did not think that my dollar tissues gifted to her were the real currency😼
Never mind, the goal was to have fun and enjoy this trip and family visit!
Big hugs,
Mariette

We're glad your Mom is home and how pawsome that she got you a new rug.

Jute & sisal is nice ta claw on. So are head bonkies and re-scenting. Really, when the Beins go out, you GOTTA cover up the stink afterwards. Especially when they are unfaithful an touch other animals!

Melissa, Mudpie and Angel Truffles (Mochas, Mysteries and Meows) said...

So glad your mom is back home with you, safe and sound!

Be well and take care! :) The world can be dangerous.

Enjoy your new rug, Katie!

John Bellen said...

Everything went pretty well with the guest cat-caretaker, eh? That's good to hear. She needs to refine her technique a bit, but not bad. My Hector will turn over the rubbish bin in the bedroom if I am not watching...

Money handed direct from the Xerox. Ha!

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

That trip was a great success, it seems,and now your Mom is safely home. Hooray!!
That looks like a good new rug/mat to dig your claws in...deeply!
