In the summer, my BFC puts an ice cube in our
water dish. Pretty bizarre! Punkie and I take turns watching this cube
thingy float around. Sometimes, we try to poke at it with a paw. And,
we haven’t figured it out yet, but it keeps getting smaller and smaller
and then it’s just not there. Another of life’s mysteries. The
water sure does taste good, though, after one of these ice cubes disappears!

You know, here’s another thing I can’t figure
out about Blondie and Punkie. When our BMC or BFC bring out the vacuum
cleaner, Blondie nonchalantly walks to another room. And Punkie? She runs
away, real low to the ground...you know, scared, and she usually ends
up under the bed. But, I think it’s an interesting machine. It makes a
lot of noise and this hose thing sucks stuff up. My BFC sometimes has
to nudge me with the hose thing, like she wants me to move or something.
But I try to stick around. |

 A
couple times a day, my BMC makes “noise” on one of his five guitar
things. Blondie comes running to sit at his feet and sometimes she’ll even
jump up on the chair or sofa and lick his arm or hand while he plays. Her
favorite noise is by a Big Cat named Neil Young. My BMC calls Blondie his
“groupie”...whatever that is. Personally, to me and Punkie, these
guitar things are just taking up space in the living room. I guess one cat’s
music is another cat’s noise! |

You know what’s kind of weird?
Being in the bathroom when our BFC or BMC take a bath. I don’t understand
why they just don’t lick themselves. I have seen Punkie try to help our
BFC by licking her shoulder, but they both still continue this behavior.
|
 I
like to sit on the toilet seat and watch the soap suds float around. It’s
just plain fascinating. One thing I don’t do very often—walk
the rim of the bathtub. Now I’ve seen Punkie do this and when you
watch her do it, it’s poetry in motion. She just tippy-toes around
the rim to the window. I’ve tried it, though, and it’s downright
dangerous. That rim is slippery. I’ll stick to the toilet seat, thank
you very much! |
The bathroom does remain one of my favorite
places. I fit in the sink pretty good, and Punkie and I like to sleep
sometimes on our BFC’s and BMC’s dirty clothes, and I usually retreat
under the bathtub when I get yelled at! |

Just
the other day, this strange red bug invaded our house. It moves real fast
all over the floors and sometimes on the walls and ceiling. I really have
to work hard to catch it, but I can't seem to grab it. Sometimes Punkie
comes to help me catch it.This bug only appears when my Big Cats are around,
but they don’t seem to be bothered by it.
