Great Stories

Hi all! I have good cat stories about my darling kitties, so I thought I would type them down here so I can remember them because they are so... cattish.


Story #1: The Halloween Toilet  Disaster

So its Halloween, (Well more like three days before) and we are carving pumpkins. Having so much fun, and this is only a month after we got our cats, so they are pretty new to exploring the house and stuff like that. We put the finished pumpkins on the porch and lit candles in them, turned off all the lights and took pictures. Naturally. So, we go in, and we all like,  "Where's the kitties?!?!" And each one slipped out when we were putting the pumpkins on the back deck. We looked under the deck, and there was Hazel. We grabbed her and put her in the house, and she got so excited from her short first experience outside that she ran around the house, into the bathroom, and jumped on the toilet seat, only the toilet seat was up, so she fell into the toilet. She splashed around scrambled out, and ran all around the house, leaving little toilet water paw prints everywhere. Oh, and on my pumpkin, I carved at cat, not suspecting that the cat would strike back.


Story #2: Duchess in a Tree

My mom, brothers and I had left for about 2 hours, and my mom came home to 9/12 chickens massacred by coyotes (We got ten new chicks though, to cover up the gap) so my mom had left the cats outside so that they would not be cooped up all day, and so she found Hazel in the garage, and Toby, who was run up a tree. Toby was able to climb own on his own by my moms coaxing. But she could not find Duchess. My mom was so scared that Duchess was gone too... but then she looked up the tree that was on the other side of the drive way and opposite of the tree Toby was in... and Duchess was there, an estimated 40 feet high above our heads, on the lowest branch. So, we have neighbors who own a crane service, so they brought down a boomer crane, and my dad went up in a bucket to get Duchess. She was freaked out and scratched my dad plenty, but she came down safely. Duchess was panting with anxiety, but when we brought her inside and gave her some water, she plopped right down and started purring. She had no injuries, only some sap stuck in her fur. She was safe!!!


Story #3: Curiosity gave Hazel a Bath

So one morning, around 7:00am, I was awoke by a crazy thrashing in the next room, which was the bathroom. I got up super fast, and ran to the bathroom. I saw a brown and black streak run down the stairs, and I ran into the bathroom, and saw water in the bathtub slawshing out. It looked like a wave pool in there. So my mom heard it from downstairs, and she ran up too. We both stared at the bathtub wave pool, then we thought, "Oh! One of the cats must have jumped in the bathtub!!! We ran down stairs, and at the bottom of the stairs was Hazel, who looked like a drowned rat, licking herself. The night before, one of my brothers must have forgotten to drain the bathwater, so she jumped in thinking that it was empty. Poor Hazel!!!

Well, that's all for now... but cats keep going crazy!

How I Blog

 I really enjoy blogging. It is such a great hobby! And what better topic then you cats and dogs? This blog post counts for both of my blogs... http://banditandsandy.blogspot.com/ ... just cause its not really about dogs or cats - but more about how I talk about my dogs and cats. SO I just wanted to show you how I blog and all the essential tools I use to do it. Maybe it will give you some ideas... or maybe inspire you to blog. ;) :)

                                                              

 So I use Blogger because my mom had an account (For family blogging... but yeah that was way back. Its hard to blog when you have three crazy kids and you homeschooling them.) I think the last post was when my brother Kohlton (Now seven) was only a few months old. So I am using blogger. It works really great! I really like it.

 This is the canon camera I use to take all of my pictures. It takes great photos... if they are focused right. I am still learning, so try not to judge. :) We got it through a trade we made when selling a tow trailer and the camera was ours!!!

                                   Haha, see into the lens! See anything yet? ;)

                                   Ya, good pictures. :)

Bag Kitties

 Just a few days ago, we put some Central Market bags out for the cats to play in. And BOY DID THEY PLAY IN THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                 Hazel absolutely loved playing in the bags.

                                     Sandy was kind of the bystander.

                                   Duchess loved it too!

                                But none of them as much as Toby!!!

                                 Me, Kyle and Kohlton were joking around with the cats, like,
                                "My, what did you buy at Central Market?"
                                "Oh, just a cat. I'm always running out of them. " :)

Yeah, the cats really like paper bags more then plastic bags. ;)

 

Follow me to the FOOD

 Duchess has this thing she does. She gets your attention, makes you follow her to the food bowl and pet her while she eats. She can be done eating, and then when you walk over and pet her, she will forget that she is full and continue eating. That explains all that squish.

                                     Follow me!

                                   Come pet me while I eat! Now!

Hazel is Haydn on the Piano :)

So, guess where Hazel's newest hiding place is???
This picture below might help you guess.

                            Yup, she sits on the piano. You should hear her when she climbs up. ;)

                                    What?

                                   Her new Haydn place. Haha.
