The Adventures of Mindy on Friday—-Okay, I Can Do This, Friday, March 12, 2021

I can do this.

I really don’t want to.

I want Mom and Dad all to myself.

But….

I’m getting used to HIM.

It helps he is growing older.

By this time in my former life of having children, I would have sent all my kids off into the big wide world to have adventures by themselves.

But…no, here I am an ancient cat (I am at least nine — heading toward ten, Mom thinks) having to raise a kid!

I do pretty nice, most of the time.

Although sometimes I just have to, I MEAN HAVE TOO, swat at that boy…he gets too carried away.

So…we’ve worked it out.  I have my chairs, he has anything else, that I don’t want.

I get the whole outside.

He is terrified of the whole outside (GOOD!)

I get Mom and Dad.

He gets Mom and Dad.

I get time away from him.

He gets to know me (some).

It’s coming together, Mom says.

I suppose.

The Adventures of TLC Cai-Cai on Friday—-RAT!!!!, Friday, March 5, 2021

I was in my box, just resting.

Well, kinda, sorta, maybe, not resting so much, but HIDING!

The mice had all gone to play all over the house…I took them everywhere.

One at a time.

One in the kitchen…grrrrrrrrrr kick, kick….bite

One in the bedroom…bat around, bat around

One upstairs, one here, one there, I think you understand.

Then I grabbed GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRiaff…he sounds like a bell.  I growl at him.

I was just getting GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRiaff taken care of when I saw a STRANGER(!) in the midst of everyone!

I jumped straight up in the air.

Then I ran into box again.

It was still there.

Just sitting!

I know what this is…no one told me, but I know.

 

 

IT IS A RAT!!!!

RATTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

I jumped out of the box right onto RAT!

Then I proceeded to KILL RAT!

I really worked RAT over—he rattles, which is rather cool.

I took care of RAT for such a long time that I was worn out.

Giving RAT one last swat I left him to his own devices

and hopped onto the sofa where Dad likes to seat (sleep) Shhhhhhhhhhhh

Sigh. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
