Happy International Cat Day!
FRODO: In honor of international cat day, I was able to dig up one of the ONLY photos in existence of all of the trio together! Normally Amarula does not deign to allow Zulu and I to get so close but, because she was so soundly sleeping, Zulu and I were able to sneak up on her and we all had a nap together!!
This is a photo of us all together the moment BEFORE Amarula opens her eyes and gets the surprise of her life when she realizes we are all together!
Bingo! She sees us! Just look at those eyes open in shock! Hee Hee
FRODO: Mom just gave us all some extra treats to celebrate International Cat Day!! Yummy! I hope cats everywhere get extra treats today!!
The Great Escape (attempt)
FRODO: I really don’t think it’s fair that Amarula can go out whenever she wants and she gets to go out without a harness! There has to be a way outta here!
ZULU: I know what you mean Frodo. It just isn’t fair! And she has such a smug look!
FRODO: I can’t even stand to look at you right now Amarula! I am so jealous!
FRODO: Quick Zulu, I’ll hold the window up and you make a run for it! At least one of us should taste real freedom!
ZULU: Forget it Frodo. It’s useless. I can’t figure out how to get rid of the screen!
Go Climb a Tree!
FRODO: Hey Zulu what are you staring at?
ZULU: I am in the middle of a staring contest with that dastardly red squirrel who lives under the garage!
ZULU: Just look at that smug face!
FRODO: What’s he so smug about Zulu?
ZULU: He keeps taunting me by coming almost so close that I can catch him!
FRODO: Why can’t you get him big brother?
ZULU: Because no matter how hard I look, I just can’t find the ladder to get up this tree!
In the Doghouse: More Trouble in the Catnip Patch!
AMARULA: Stop me if this sounds familiar: So a little while ago, Zulu walked by the Human with this little item on his back.
AMARULA: Take a closer look! That’s right, it’s a big piece of peppermint from the human’s garden! I wonder how that got there?! It goes something like this…
AMARULA: What are you doing there Zulu?
ZULU: Just playing with the ‘nip
AMARULA: Wouldn’t you much rather play in that big pile of cat nip behind you?
ZULU: Wow! That is one big pile of cat nip!
AMARULA: Well you play in that pile and I will play in this much smaller one here. That is just how wonderful and generous I am!
ZULU: That sure doesn’t sound like you Amarula! What are you up to?
AMARULA: You wound me Zulu! I am just trying to learn to share!
ZULU: Well it sure is tempting…
AMARULA: Come on! It will be fun!
ZULU: OK I’m going in!
ZULU: I am still a little uneasy about this…
Peppermint bush one hour later…
ZULU: OH oh! Mom is looking at me and she doesn’t look happy!
AMARULA: Mmmmmwwwwahahahahahaha!
Frodo’s First Kiss!
FRODO: So I was in the backyard hanging with my crew, Zulu and Amarula, when suddenly I sensed a new presence in the air. I turned to see this creature:
FRODO: She is hard to see so look again:
FRODO: A beautiful apparition appeared as if out of no where!
FRODO: I could not believe my eyes! So I looked away thinking she might disappear as quickly as she had come:
FRODO: Nope, it was not a dream! She is real!
FRODO: Of course, you may be wondering where Zulu and Amarula were during all this excitement. Well, Zulu took one look at the strange cat, cried as though someone had stepped on his tail, pushed me out of the way and promptly ran into the house where he proceeded to hide in the basement for the next 8 hours. Amarula, caught between what I am certain was a brave sisterly impulse to protect me from strangers, and feeling it was her duty to protect the back door from possible intrusion from the stranger went and hid waited by the deck, where she could watch the proceedings from a cowardly brave distance.
FRODO: Clearly, the strange cat found herself drawn to me (my pirate harness seems to have that effect on the ladies!) cause suddenly she came rushing towards me. She is certainly not coy!
FRODO: My powerful good looks are hard to ignore
FRODO: Then suddenly…it happened…she kissed me!
FRODO: And then just as quickly as she came, she was gone!
FRODO: Come back…come back…I don’t even know your name! I hope we will meet again!
