My Furry Friend

Cody and I bond during the quiet daytime hours. He's furry like me, and I like that!

He is a good source of warmth for me at my naptime.

He is my buddy.

Hissssss...

Aren't the exotic hibiscus flowers lovely? Almost makes you want to get up close to them and maybe even weed around them. The flowers are platter-sized and very alluring. I found them alluring, too, but for other reasons....

Other Mother finally noticed my body language as I pointed to something queer and slithery just outside the door by the hibiscus. It had a long body and a pointy head and one beady eye looking back at me. Brrrrrrr.....the creepy thing gave me the yikes, but I stood my ground.

Other Mother went over to investigate and told me that it was just a little garter snake. Little, my foot! It was the size of an anaconda! Even Brother Cody said it looked like a boa! Other Mother is one crazy cat - she went outside to snap its photograph. She did take a broom with her though, just in case!

Stinky Tofu for You - Stinky Toe for Me

I "read" your China posting about stinky tofu with great interest. I, too, have had such an experience here at home. Do you see what I mean? Actualllllly, other Mother insists that I tell you that her "tofu" had a zesty clean scent.

Right now I am pestering other Mother, but when she stops typing to pet me, I can't help myself and give her a nip on the hand. Other Mother is not pleased with this situation, but hopes I will outgrow it. She's lucky I didn't nip her toe!

Meowouts to China Newbies

Dear Mother and Father,

Do they have tasty looking birds like this in China? I am waiting by the back door for one of my feathered friends to pass by so I can have some excitement. What am I saying? I just exhausted myself (and other Mother) playing with the fish on the fishing poles. I actually ripped one of the fish off the pole, so other Mother better get busy and fix it. Now I have jumped up on the desk to assist other Mother with her typing. Usually I have to stop her as soon as I see her sitting down at the computer, but she is doing my biding now, so it's okay.

Purry luv from your furry luv!
