Dakota and Chey - ODD

 Mom accidentally calls me Dakota a lot. It don't bother me as much as it does her. She misses him, so does Lily and I. 

I have heard mom tell stories about Dakota in the past. She says that he was odd but he was really smart. 

Mom tells me I am odd also.

You see my other mom used to tell her that when she went to the back door to let us all in, I would let the others go in and I stood back. Not only did I stand back then I still do. My other mom used to have to pull the door closed then open it right back up to let me in. Mom now does not do that. She will open the door to let me in and I stand there looking at her, so she just shuts the door and makes me stay out longer. She tells me that she is not playing my games!

What games, I am the queen and I have to make my entrance, in my own time!!!

There is another things I do that would tick mom off but I she did not understand till about a month ago that I was being polite. I will stand looking at mom on the couch or the bed. She never understood why I would not jump up when she patted the couch or bed.  Finally however she gets it. I am asking permission to jump up. When mom says, JUMP, it know that she is giving me permission. 

She is learning me a little at a time.

Different Positions

 I sleep yet again. Since moving here from the other place I have chosen my spot. I sleep at the end of the bed on the side mom sleeps on. She is short so I am safe from being kicked. 

Mom is trying to take up reading at night before turning off the lights to help her to relax. So last night she was reading. Every so often she would look down at me to see if I had changed positions.

I can get so comfy in some different positions. But I bet Brian, Simon, Sister Seal and Dolly can tell you the same thing. We cats are funny sleepers. 

I woke up sometime late in the evening for mom to rub my head, went and got some water and then back to my spot on the bed. 

Hope you all slept well and so did your furs.

Bedtime

 We went to bed last night while mom read till she got sleepy. I had no problem going off to sleep while mom read, as you can tell. Mom uses a table lamp so it is not so bright.

Not long after this pic was taken mom turned off the lamp, curled up and went to bed. 

I slept well all night but I did get up a time or two to roam the house. You know how us cats are. 

Later,

The Ride Around Critter

 Look at the critter mom has put on the back on her car!

My mom is so funny.

My New Spot

Mom tells me all the time that I blend in with everything cause of my color. The only way I would not blend so well is it I was on something white! She don't know it but when she is looking for me, she calls it "just checking on you", I lay there and just watch her look. She calls to me and I just sit there. She gets onto me later when she locates me and says that I need to answer her when she calls. But its more fun just watching. 

Yesterday she came on the deck to "check on me" and I was all wrapped up in something.....haha

 

I curled up in the puddle of the curtain and some how by rooting around I got all covered up, except for my feet. 

Mom did pretty good "checking on me" then cause she noticed the paws right off. 

Then she peeked in on me to take a couple of pics.

Yes, I was sleeping. I was not sitting back and watching mom look for me that time but I do it  all the time. Where does she think I am going to go? I come out on the deck and there is no way off. She keeps the door latched so no one can open it allowing me to escape. 

The pics above were taken yesterday morning however I was at it again while mom sat on the deck drinking coffee this morn. 

I really like my new spot. 

This time I covered up my feet too. 

Mom said the curved bump in the curtain told her that I was there. 

Shortly after taking those two pics a big truck went up the road and I had to come out of hiding to check things out...

I love my deck. The birds have been all over the feeders today. Mom says they must be storing up energy for the winter. Winter, I think that is the time of year that mom will not let me out on the deck! I hate to see that time coming. 

Anyway, been fun talking to you. 

Laters,

The Yawn

 Before you scroll down and look at the pic of me, just know it is mom's doing! I was not posing for my pic, I was napping and I sort of woke up and was stretching......with stretching comes yawning.

Yep, that's me in the pic below, I was full on yawning!!!

Full on! Mouth wide open, really wide open and I was feeling so good then I heard the snap of that phone camera thingy mom always has with her. 

This is the results. No biggie really, I went right back off to sleep.

Chey

Chilling, Chilling and Chilling

 HI! 

Yesterday Chey showed you a pic of herself, and did not include me, chilling on the deck!

Well, I was there yesterday too so today I am posting my pic and leaving her out!

I had been on the deck rail but when mom went in the refresh her coffee I took over her chair, so when she came out she sat on the other glider. 

I chilled on the deck this morning by myself. It was pouring rain and mom was hurting so Chey stayed in with her. When mom checked on me I was on the chair again!

Are you getting any rain. It has poured all night here. Stopped for now but I heard a voice on that big box in the living room that we would get more today, some with thunder.

Chilling on the Deck

 Lily and I were hanging with mom on the deck this morning. Mom was on one glider, Lily was in mom's chair and I was chilling on this glider. It felt amazing out this morning. 

Chey

Earning our Keep

 Mom says that Chey and I need to learn to work for our keep. WHAT? 

She said she was out in the front yard working, she was hot, tired, sweaty and sore then she comes on the deck to see us laying around. Isn't that what we are supposed to do?

I hope that she is not mad, and she feeds us today!

Shhh, Chey wake up and go check on mom to see if everything is okay and she is planning on feeding us. Chey, get up.....

        Hey Chey! Stop ignoring me! Well okay, I will go check.

Such a Brat

 I don't understand why mom calls me "such a brat"!!!

She basically only does that first thing in the morning when I want to get my day up and going. I want my bowl filled and I want on the deck. That is not really that much to ask!!

Mom called me that yesterday morning and again this morning. She took a pic of the clock yesterday morning when I asked her nicely to get up. She said something about the sun not even being up yet.

I wanted to go on the deck. So I started by running across mom as she slept. She said, "NO, its not time to get up". Well, I felt it was for me but I can't unlock that back door by myself.  Mom just rolled over and closed her eyes again. But you see, I am a cat, and cats rule so I was determined that mom was getting up and doing what I wanted her to do. 

The running across her did no good so I jumped up on the dresser where  unfortunately mom does not keep a lot things cluttered up there. But there were a couple that I deemed light enough to push to the floor.

First went the wipes that mom cleans her feet with.

Well that did not make a loud enough BAM to the floor so I then decided that the smelly stuff had to go. BAM...that made a loud noise. I then jumped down to check out my morning fun.

Mom then called me a "little brat" and got up. We went straight to the bowl and mom filled it. Fussing at me the whole time. Then while I tasted what she put in the bowl to be sure it was the right stuff she unlocked the door and opened it just enough for my skinny body to slide through. I was so happy then. I love that I have mom wrapped around my paw and she never stays made long!

Heard the Tear

 I was on the deck last night when I heard mom open a box!!!

I came running and found the box where she laid it.

Can you see me?
