What time is it??? or How to Keep Mom Sleeping...

Once again I had trouble getting to sleep last night.  Well, evidently my family decided that they shouldn't wake me up as they went through their morning routines.  The cats conspired with them to keep me sleeping by putting me in the Triangle of Sleep.  Zaphy took up the window seat spot.  Mister Kitten was opposite him on the bed and Star was up beside by my head.  I was toast.  I woke up just enough to remember my husband's farewell kiss as he left for work.  "Ha!" said Da Boys, "She is completely in our power!"  With Thomas at my feet I had no choice but to sleep until... 11?  12? 

"Ah-ha!  She is in our power!  Let's make her sleep more Boys!"

 I am still being bombarded with Kitty Power Vibes.  There is a front coming in which means that I'm having a fibro & arthritis flare (joy of joys!).  As a result, Zaphy is guarding the window ("That makes the weather stay away, right mom??").  Mister Kitten has just returned to the bed after his morning adventures ("Hey mom!  I helped you stay asleep, but I gotta have my morning adventures!!").  Star is going back and forth between his usual poking about under the bed & around my things whilst trilling at me ("I need to make sure you're still paying attention to me, mom!") and getting up on the bed and trillpurring at me ("What does that mean, mom??"  "It means that you're trilling and purring at the same time, Star"  "Oh.  Do other cats do that, mom?"  "Very few Star"  "Huh.  I wonder why?  I'd better finish teaching that to the kitten.").  He's also trying to use the computer.

The bag... in honor of Earth Day!!

Where's My Nurse Cat??

Sorry for not posting yesterday.  I wasn't feeling well at all.  Fortunately I already had a doctor's appointment scheduled with my fantastic pcp.  Doc Jones is everything you might want in a physician.  She is caring, intelligent, keeps up with the latest information, and treats you like you are part of the health team (as well she should!).  The Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde is likewise fortunate in having a vet clinic full of veterinarians who are the same way (but for our non-human companions).  They seriously rock.  Which reminds me, as soon as I have the money, I need to get them down there to get their rabies shots!!  This month is Rabies Clinic month when the shots are discounted.  This is a Good Thing when you have four Tims to get vetted!  As for me, I get the joy of going to get an ultrasound today.  Wheeeeee!  I just hope it's not during the time I'm due to get some meds delivered.  As good as Da Boys are at teleporting through doors, opening treat containers, figuring out how to get into boxes, etcetera, they haven't figured out how to disguise themselves as humans and sign for packages.  At least... not so far as I know!!   Hmmmmmm, Star & Zaphy keep trying to get on the keyboard of the laptop.  Could they be wanting to order something online??

I think I'll get some of that premium catnip,
some new toys, a deluxe...

My son now has a new netbook.  I haven't really looked at it yet.  It's a Nickelodeon one... with slime.  ::shudder::  The boy is 14.  He hasn't watched that channel in years as far as I know.  And he needed one that will last him through High School.  Ah well.  I have only had two cats on the bed lately.  Star and Thomas.  But they sleep on my side and only leave me a small space wherein to put my feet.  Mister Kitten makes a leap and sleeps on the window seat now that the weather is nice.  I'm not sure where Zaphy has been sleeping.  Only Gray Cat knows.

Inspired by human children or furbabies??  (tote bag)

Where oh where does ComputerKitty sit??

So with the advent of the laptop, Star has been trying to find a place to hang out in his official capacity as BitCat the ComputerKitty.  I have a very large mousepad which I utilize when making graphics.  I have set this on top of one of those lap desks.  Star has decided that half of this will do quite nicely.  Partly, I am sure, because he can supervise the mouse.  ::grin::  He is sitting there right now.  I'm hoping to eventually train him to sit on a pillow, but I'm not sure how long that will take.  Wish me luck!!

 

[Star, it's hard to update when you are licking my fingers.  

'Yes mom but your fingers still smell like treeeeeaaaaats!]
