My New Condo

About two weeks ago, my humans hooked me up
with a kitty condominium.

IT'S AWESOME.

What I really want to know is: What took them so long?!

I love my new condo, and if you ever come to visit, you'll surely find me on one of the three tiers.

Weather: For this 3-day weekend, I heard it's gonna be so hot.

Kitty Cave

Costco is great. That's where my food and kitty litter come from. Also, they pack stuff in these great big boxes.

I've turned this box into a cave! I can nestle inside and observe from this new hiding place. Have you ever been in a cave?

Weather: Ouch, over 90 degrees every day. That's too hot for me.

Let's Play...

Do you know the game "Hide-and-go-seek"?

I love to play it with my humans. When they get home from work, I run around the house and see if they can find me!

My favorite places to hide are on top the fridge (shown here), and in my male human's closet between his clothes.

I don't think you play anymore; this game is usually for children. Are there any games you loved when you were a child?

Weather: Well, not toooo hot, YET.

Up on High

The refrigerator is the best place in the world to survey my surroundings. Also, I love what is sometimes inside: TUNA!

When my female human is in the kitchen, I often climb to the top to supervise. "You should add more salt," or "I think a dash of basil would work" are just some pieces of advice I give to the household chef.

Weather: Clouds on the horizon. Yet more rain?

My New Favorite Place

Lately, whenever my humans open a closet, I'm right there. I instantly run inside and explore. It's funny when they can't find me and I hear them walking around the house calling my name.

Why do I like the closets these days? I've taken an interest in spelunking. Yes, you should click on that word to find out what it means!

So, my closet exploration is in preparation of this new-found interest. I also burrow under covers now that it's getting colder at night in order to practice for my first attempt as a spelunker.

Of course I'll be looking for tuna.

Weather: They said it's supposed to rain today. Really?

Alien Observer

Sometimes, while I'm waiting for my turn to use the computer, I just sit and watch my humans do their work.

This is the computer room. It's kind of messy, but there's lots of places for me to hide. When I want attention, I always sit right in front of the screen while my humans are doing something important.

Don't you think I look like an alien with my mesmerizing, glowing eyes? I'm not from Mars, though. I was born in Newport Beach!

Weather: Muggy + hot.

A Day in the Sun

I've really been enjoying summer these days. How about you?

Usually it's much hotter at this time of year, but for me, it's perfect window-sitting temps.

Here I am in my humans' bedroom window, playing tag with the vertical blinds.

Weather: It was a gorgeous sunrise.
Lots of red, orange, and yellow reflected in the fluffy clouds.
Did you see it?

Guess Who!

As you already know, I love to find new sunny places to sit. Lately, I've really been into the master bedroom window.

It's right above my human Mark's workspace, so if I sit here I can look down at him. The sunshine is a constant stream throughout the day, and I get very nice and toasty.

Weather: Not too hot, but warm enough.

Please Do Not Disturb

Although the sun only comes out in the afternoon lately, it's still a little too bright for my tastes.

To protect my delicate gold eyes, I'll just stay right here with my pal Moosey and rest. Can you please close the blinds?

Weather: Actually, it's been cloudy...
...they don't call it June Gloom for nothin'.

Feeling Camera Shy

Okay human paparazzi, some days I'm just sick of the camera.

This is where I usually sit when I don't want my humans to bother me. Also, sometimes the flash hurts my sensitive, beautiful gold eyes.

Weather: Getting warmer.
I've been shedding my winter coat a lot lately.
I do enjoy the brushings I get, though.

My New Favorite Drawer

I've blogged before about all the drawers I love. Here's another one. The other day, my human was putting away her human's boxer shorts, and they were so warm outta the dryer, I just had to take over.

Also, the boxer shorts here are really comfy to sit on. They're not the itchy, regular cotton kind. These are grade-A knit and quite soft. Three cheers for underwear!

Weather: March has been strange, and it looks like rain. Yuck.

I ♥ the Fridge

My new favorite hiding place is on top of the refrigerator. My humans have lots of cool stuff up there for me to check out. I also have a bird's-eye view of everything that Cindy does in the kitchen.

Ever since I got my health back, I've been trying to diversify my daily routine. Another hiding place I've found is behind the laundry that Cindy has been waiting to iron for over a month now.

I get behind the pants hanging on the closet handle, and only my tail sticks out. I'm pretty sure no one knows my spot yet. I'm pretty sneaky.

Weather: March can't decide what it wants to be.
Cold one day, warm the next.

A Word About My Human's Lap

The minute my human Cindy comes home, she always lies down on the couch for me to jump onto her lap. I really miss her these days now that she's busy with work and school.

In this picture, she's already in her pajamas, with my favorite blankie that has a picture of cute ponies on it. But they're not as cute as yours truly.

Weather: Hmm. It was foggy this morning, but I bet it'll burn off.

A Word About Warmth

The rain they promised is finally here. There's lots of little storms in a row, not just one whole big one. Yes, my previous post complained about the too hot weather, and now I'd like to complain about the too cold weather. What can I say, I'm a study in opposites!

I guess I won't be getting any sun today. I'll just have to be patient and remember that my spot between the blinds will be available to me when things clear up.

Weather: You guessed it. Wet and cold.

Boo!

Whenever my human Cindy puts away laundry, I make sure to check out her sock drawer.

It's quite comfortable, and affords me a bird's-eye view of the bedroom. Plus, I feel really sneaky!

Weather: I hope this warm spell keeps up.
Winter, what's that?

Talented

WOW. How in the world did this guy get a plant to sprout out of his stomach? Now that's talent. As for me, I just eat plants, not grow them.

Weather: Another hot day ahead of us.

Drawn to Drawers

Lately my human has been in the kitchen a lot. She always leaves cupboards and drawers open. I always explore them.

I hear from my other human that her cooking is pretty good. He has a fish allergy, though, so he doesn't get to eat the really good stuff like I do.

Weather: Still too early to tell.

Just Chillin'

Finally recovered from my antics over the New Year. Taking time to get reacquainted with some of my buddies. They have just as imaginative names as the one I'm often called, "Kitty." The beagle's name is "Puppy" and the bulldog is "Doggy." Pretty easy to remember, right?

Weather: Hoping that yesterday's gray dissipates today.
I need some time in the sun.

Boxy Brown

One of my favorite things to do is find new places to hang out. Whether it's the sock drawer, a cabinet in the kitchen, or a random box, I'll always check it out and claim it as mine.

Recently this box has disappeared, and all I have are the memories and this picture. Good times.

Weather: Actually, been pretty warm here lately. Perfect.
