Lately, I like watching some TV. One of my favorite
shows is the end of Sunday Morning, when they show the nature clips.
Usually there are birds flying around. They’re pretty cool. There’s been
a lot of figure skating on TV recently. I like watching these Big Cats glide
around the screen. I also like watching the screen saver on the computer
once in a while—it’s Catz II. |

from the dining room table. A couple times a day, my BMC and BFC put stuff
on top of the water. I try to sniff the can this stuff comes out of...reminds
me of the tuna fish cans Punkie likes. |
||
|
Just the other day, I took up a new sport
with my BMC. I try to catch this strange round thing that falls down
on a string attached to one of his fingers, but it goes back up the
string to his hand real fast. I think this must be some kind of magic. Sometimes in the middle of the night, when
I’m the only one awake, I like to go up on the desk where he keeps his
collection of these things |
||
|
Of course, I like the usual things...brown paper
bags and boxes. You should see all of us sometimes if there’s a bag or box
on the floor. My sisters and I kind of take turns going in the bag or box.
Even Blondie likes the occasional bag/box. I guess you could say a good
bag or box brings out the kitten in every cat. |
|
Just the other day, my BFC
came out with this bottle that she calls bubbles.
 She
takes a stick out of this bottle, blows on it and these round balls start
floating around the room. Punkie and I saw a couple of them land on the
carpet. When we sniffed them they disappeared! Now, whenever we see our
BFC come out with this bottle we’re ready to chase bubbles....Blondie
likes to watch. |
|
|||||
  Another
cool thing I’ve picked up from Punkie is watching birdies and squirrels.
Our BFC and BMC have fixed up the front windowsills for us with shelves
and a bunch of pillows, so it’s pretty cozy. There are also shelves
in the top half of  the
windows where my BMC keeps some of his plants. |
|||||
 Well,
there’s this tree that grows in front of our building. We live on the third
floor and this tree is taller than our building. So, we have a cat’s eye
view of all the activity. |
|||||
 Once,
there were a bunch of crows in the tree. I was on the pillows and Punkie
was on the top shelf. Punkie gets real intense when she’s watching a birdie.
She makes these funny sounds...ack, ack, ack, ack...real fast. I prefer
the silent kind of watching. It seems like we were there for hours. (I’ve only seen Blondie in the window a couple times, but she was sleeping ’cause it was sunny. She don’t know what she’s missing!)  Summer
is the best time to hang out by the windows. Besides our tree, there’s an
empty lot across the street and there’s plenty of activity and visitors.
 When
it’s warm in Chicago, there seems to be a big cat running race almost every
weekend...and sometimes they come down our street. Blondie, Punkie and I
like to watch these crazy big cats...we prefer to hold our own races, from
one end of the house to the other. The best time is real early in the morning
or real late at night! |

My BFC and BMC call this guy Killer!
He’s pretty big for one of these floating creatures.
to
investigate how they work. I grab the string of one of them in my teeth,
jump down off the desk and the round thing follows, but it doesn’t go
back up the string. No matter how much I chew and claw on the string,
I just can’t get it to move like it does for my BMC. Maybe it only works
if you have fingers...
