(Ahem. For those of you who are not big Star Wars fans, the original quote from Darth Vader was "I find your lack of faith disturbing". We now return you to your originally scheduled LOL).
Our Mom sat down with us last night and had a long meow-versation. It wasn't good news. We have to move soon. She said that while she luffs our house (and so do we, especially the Porch) she just can't keep up with the repairs and maintenance it needs. It's an old house and most everything needs replacing. She said it's very emotionally draining, and we just don't have the green papers to continue being homeowners.
So... it's going on the market mid-January. We're not looking forward to having noisy strangers in here, and especially not having to go live somewhere else, but Mom says there's no choice.
I have *never* been treated so shamefully, people. Not once, in all my years with my Mom, has this ever happened. She IGNORED me. Absolutely, completely ignored me. I ran back and forth, jumping on the bed, the couch, the table, trying to get her attention.
Nada. Zippo.
Why? Does it matter? Fine - she was looking for that silly girl kitteh Leia, because she disappeared and Mom couldn't find her. I think she said something about her maybe having gotten outside, off the Porch while we had our Porch Time tonight. And she was getting all worked up about it, getting out the flashlight and all. Finally Leia wandered out from wherever she was.
Oh no, don't go getting all kissy-face on me now, hoomin. Too late!
I believe it's very impawtant to spend time with your hoomins, and be affectionate. They need attention every day from their kittehs, or else they can get cranky. Or feel unluffed. We don't want that!
Me, I am a head-bonker. And I enjoy rubbing noses with my Mom. We lay on the pillow together, where I purr and pet her on a regular basis. Then I can sleep, knowing I've contributed to my hoomin's health and happiness.
Yeaa for Caturday! Even if it's still chilly - Mom says the fix it people finally have the part, and will be out Wednesday to put it in. Tuesday, if someone else cancels. We're really hoping someone cancels!
In other news...
Mom says I've (Toby) lost weight since we started mostly gushy foods. We still get a little kibble, though that's more because she wants to make sure we eat plenty while it's so cold here. She thinks maybe I've lost it more quickly than I should have, but she isn't sure what to do about that. We both go through days where we eat less, so she's broken out the Fancy Feast to mix in with our Wellness grain free.
Oh, and she also mumbles bad words when she has to toss out the gushy we don't eat... something abut how expensive it is... and the FF helps us eat more, so we waste less.
Hey - do we know what we're doing or what?? Hoomins CAN be trained!
