Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum, Feline!

June 27, 2016 by Amarula

FRODO: Doh-di-doh, doh-di-doh…I love my leaf pile!

FRODO: It is one of my new favorite places since mom starting letting me go outside on a harness! It has wonderful smells….I just love rubbing in it!

FRODO: The leaves even taste delicious…a delicate hint of mold mingled with old dog urine! Yum!

FRODO: OH OH I think I smell trouble on the horizon!

AMARULA: Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum, Feline…I smell an intruder in MY pile of leafs!

FRODO: Oh no! She is coming this way! Maybe if I look down she won’t see me

AMARULA: What are you doing in MY pile of leafs Frodo?!

FRODO: I’m just keeping them warm for you by rubbing around in them, Big sis! Come and join me!

AMARULA: That is never going to happen! Out! Vamoose vermin! I need some “me time” in my leaves!

FRODO: Well I am real sorry about the misunderstanding Sis! Is there anything I can do to make it up to you!?

AMARULA: No just leave!

FRODO: I think I have a good idea how I can best say sorry…

FRODO: Let’s kiss and makeup!!! Yipee!

AMARULA: Noooooooooooooooooooooo!

Forbidden Love

June 24, 2016 by Amarula

ZULU: What are you doing Frodo? You’ve been staring at that swan for hours!

FRODO: I’m in love! I know the feeling is mutual cause she just can’t keep her eyes off me! She just keeps staring. She is dumbstruck with loooooooooove

ZULU: The word “dumb” might certainly factor in here…

FRODO: Isn’t she beautiful? She doesn’t say much but that’s OK cause we speak volumes with our eyes.

ZULU: And have your eyes noticed that that is mom’s cement swan? Cement, Frodo, aka not real!

FRODO: Zulu! How dare you accuse her of not being real and genuine! Our love is the real deal! Though I guess if I am honest, I have been feeling lately like things are not right between us…like there may be someone else…what’s that over there in the bushes…

FRODO: A chipmunk!! My heart is broken! I can never compete with a mammal with such full cheeks and gorgeous stripes!

ZULU: Then you definitely don’t want to know about the bunny that has been given her the eye!

Time for My Human to Die

June 13, 2016 by Amarula

AMARULA: Well, she’s done it! The human’s really done it! I was minding my own business, having a pleasant day out and about when this orange blob walked by…

Apparently the human is now allowing Frodo out on a harness into my outdoors! MY outdoors!

It was bad enough having Zulu to contend with but now I have Frodo invading my Feline Fiefdom!

Yep! I’ve tried to be nice. I ~~tried to have Zulu killed~~ welcomed Zulu with open arms when he joined me outside. But this, this is too much!

How much is one cat expected to endure!!?? Someone call the humane society and report my human!

Zulu’s World-wind Tour of the Great Outdoors!

June 6, 2016 by Amarula

FRODO: As you know, I faltered a little a couple of days ago when I tried to go outside for my first exploration of the backyard. It was all so darn exciting that I was just plain overwhelmed. Luckily, big brother Zulu was at the ready to help me and he took me out for a personalized tour!

ZULU: Alright Frodo just stay close and follow me! I’ll teach you all about the outdoors.

ZULU: This is my favorite pile of grass. Try to have a good chew at least once daily. You can also expect to throw up the grass sometime around midnight. Never fails! This is mom’s least favorite part of the backyard!

FRODO: YUMMY!! This grass is almost better than tuna!

ZULU: And remember to always take time to bask in the sun! Spending time in the sun outdoors is even better than lying in a sunbeam in the window!

ZULU: Over here is what I like to call my own private privy! But you have to bring your own toilet paper!

ZULU: Now we are going towards the area where mom is trying to make a rock garden. It is very important to stay away from here and not dig up stuff!

ZULU: Well, since this is your first time maybe we can go a little closer just this once!

ZULU: And always keep an eye out for Amarula. She loves to step on the leash!

ZULU: And the most important things is to always make time to smell the flowers!

ZULU: I have a feeling you are gonna love it out here Frodo!

FRODO: Me too!

Journey into the Great Outdoors (Almost)

May 30, 2016 by Amarula

FRODO: Things did not go quite as planned folks! As you know, last week mom got me a harness and decided to let me go outside!

I was sooooooooooooooo excited. I was ready to jump into the great unknown…

But I got a little nervous and decided that instead of jumping from the deck I would just take the steps down to the backyard

Unfortunately, when I realized just how gosh darn big the backyard was I got a little scared and hid under the steps!

I am so embarrassed! Maybe I will just stay inside…or maybe I will try again tomorrow like a big boy! Wish me luck!

Why I love Springtime!

May 19, 2016 by Amarula

AMARULA: As you know I hate winter! All that snow means I can’t go outside for many months. So I love when spring arrives and I can once again rule the outdoors! And yes, while spring also means that Zulu gets to join me outside on his harness…yuck…

The real reason I am so happy to see the snow go away and the grass turn green again is precisely because Zulu joins me outside! I get to drive him crazy by standing on his leash so he can’t move or–even better–pulling on his leash so he has to go where I tell him to go!

ZULU: Get off my leash! Mom! Look what Amarula is doing!

AMARULA: Oh glorious spring! Who knew I would love it so when Zulu joins me outside!

Being “In” is So Out!

May 9, 2016 by Amarula

FRODO: Well spring is finally here — at least that’s what Amarula and Zulu keep talking about. They sure are excited about finally going outside again now that the snow is gone (even though Zulu has to wear a harness).

FRODO: I must admit it does look very exciting out there!

I can only imagine the adventures I could get up to outside!!

FRODO: I might finally be able to catch that red squirrel that keeps taunting me!

FRODO: Hey Zulu and Amarula when will I be big enough to come join you outside?

AMARULA: Never! The human has no plans to let you outside of the cat containment unit! I heard her saying that even on a harness you would likely get into too much trouble!

FRODO: What’s that you say?!?…but that’s not fair…I really never get to go outside?!?
