Tiger Lily's Diary

Ahhh. Relief. The petsitter stayed over an hour today. It was great. It made me finally feel like I don't actually live here by myself. It's nice to have someone who cares enough to stay with me. My petsitter said she tells people that they can't be her clients when they try to tell her that their pets only need to be fed and watered and then she can leave. She thinks we need to have someone who hangs out with us and tries to understand us even if they never figure us out at all. She thinks people who don't want to take the time get to know their animals enough to know that it needs companionship every day and not just some days are weird. She said that some people even take their cats and dogs to the vet to board them overnight when they are out of town. When she told me that I almost fainted. She calmed me down and told me that would never happen to me unless I was sick or something. I was happy to hear that because I don't know what kind of nut would do that to their cat. I mean if they go on vacation do they take their children to the hospital and drop them off with all the sick kids? I wonder. Whew!! I'm just glad my mom loves me enough to get me a petsitter.

Mary Lou's Diary

This morning I quacked the petsitter to death. I love to torture her by stalking her as she walks about the house and quacking at her the entire time. She always asks me if I think it will speed her up if I keep quacking at her and I just pretend I don't know what she's talking about. It is so fun. It's like some great form of torture that the government should use. Who knows if it's covered in the Geneva Convention regulations or not but it sure is fun. After I've worn her down and etched through her nerves I stop and get quiet for a minute or two. This is only to trick her. Once I am confident that she is feeling relieved and complacent I poop in the floor outside the bathroom door and then pee in the middle of the bathroom floor. It never fails and she always walks around the corner and steps right in the poop. Haa Haaa Haaa!!! It is hilarious. I don't know what in the world she is saying because I don't understand human speak but it is funny none the less. Winnie was happy today because she got to go into the basement again. The petsitter cleaned up the house and took out the trash scooped the litter and fed/watered us. She gave us a little extra because she knew our mom would probably be late getting home. I heard her telling my mom that the neighbor has a dog. I hope it doesn't bark too much because if Winnie gets nervous it may drive me nuts.

Bea's Diary

Today the petsitting experience was normal. Same dazed walk in the morning by the petsitter in her underwear. Same shot for Hugo. Same food. Blah Blah Blah. I heard her talking to my mom on the phone and she will be arriving at around 5 am from her flight. I am looking forward to her coming home. The petsitter is a great snuggler and she's extremely entertaining, but no snuggle beats the snuggle of my mom. Hugo agrees too. He and I were talking about it as we snuggled on the porch and he misses mom too.

Winnie's Diary

Tonight the petsitter ran in and out pretty quickly. She had to meet someone for dinner and said she was running late. I think she left because she's homeless and she needed to go dumpster diving. Yesterday I saw her stealing from the neighbor's trash. She took one of those copper fire pit things on a stand. Today I saw her doing it again because they had put out a larger one with a cover that matched. She said that people sell those things for 200 dollars sometimes and that she had a friend that needed it. I think she's using it for herself. I think she lives out of her car and wants to ue that thing to cook her dinner in the alley with the rest of the homeless people. She's like that guy who is in that stupid commercial where he lives out of his Sentra only she thinks she's high and mighty because hers is a special edition Altima. I offered her some of my food but she wouldn't take it. She said she doesn't like to mix her cod-tuna and shrimp together. The next time I offered her my food she said she doesn't eat random beef parts. I told her don't knock it till you've tried it. I happen to love beef lung soup. She tries to act like she's above Friskies but I could swear she lives in her car. If you've ever seen all the stuff she has in that thing you'd agree.

Skye's Diary

Tonight the petsitter stayed a little longer. She said she had at least an extra 45 minutes for us this evening so we were happy about that. The other day I thought I'd have to beat her up because she made Tiger Lily scream. Tiger Lily met her right at the door and she didn't want to let her run out so she rushed in and accidentally stepped on Tiger Lily's foot. Tiger Lily screamed and ran off and then the petsitter caught up with her after turning the alarm off and snuggled her and apologized. If she hadn't apologized I may have had to bite her ankle and give her calf a good scratch. She seemed to be sincerely sorry so I forgave her. All is well other than that and I have to let another cat do a report so I'll go for now. (I miss you mommy! :-(

Mary Lou's Diary

This morning the petsitter had me laughing. I heard her in the bathroom mumbling because I pooped outside the box. I love playing jokes on her. It drives her nuts and her reaction is so fun to watch. A couple of days ago I pooped out in the hallway and watched her step on it. Hee Hee she had to spend all sorts of time cleaning out her shoe. She asked me why I haven't had one day that I haven't gone to the bathroom outside the box and I tried to tell her but she never understands what I'm saying. I'm looking forward to when my mom comes home on Thursday. Winnie told me she'd be here late in the evening so don't quack at her about how the petsitter hasn't come yet cause she doesn't want to hear it. I just looked at her an turned around to walk away. Sometimes Winnie can be bossy. She says she does it in retaliation of my bossiness when mom is gone. Whatever!! I am never bossy.

Skye's Diary

The petsitter came in and out this morning and did her routine. She still didn't switch the trash bag out so I'm still suspicious. Tiger Lily says we can trust her cause she remembers mom taking the trash bags out every now and then also. She fed us a little extra today because she said she felt guilty. That's fine with me because I love the wet food we get. I'm looking forward to her spending more time on Thursday so that Tiger Lily will feel better because she likes company. I'm ok with being alone as long as I have food and water.

Hugo's Diary

The petsitter came this evening and fed us then she went to the coffee shop again for her internet connection. She went and picked up one of her friends and they had dessert and coffee. I wish she'd have brought me a rice krispy treat but she wouldn't do it because she said that it wouldn't be good for my blood sugar. We have snuggled a lot but tonight when she got home and gave me my shot I didn't feel like snuggling so I went outside with Bea. We were having a great time but then we came in scared because there was a gigantic owl in the tree above mom's bedroom balcony. We could hear it saying "Who Who Who Cooks For You?" and we just knew it was planning to eat us for dinner. It was kinda scary. I know I could have won a fight with him when I was younger but I'm not sure now. We came in and then ate again out of nervousness.

Winnie's Diary

Wooooo HOOOOO!!!!! The petsitter was here for over an hour this evening. She let me go into the basement finally and I was so happy I nearly pulled a Mary Lou and pooped in the hallway. Luckily I realized it was just excitement and so I ran and scratched at my round scratchie toy. She spent all sorts of time with us. She fed us and refilled our water bowls, scooped the litter boxes, cleaned the whole entire bathroom floor. She said that our mom would be home Thursday night and that we should be nice to her when she gets here because she's going to have to deal with the new neighbor and their fence and thier parking and a whole bunch of other stuff. She watched Dr. Phil and snuggled with us it was great. When she left she gave us a treat. I am sure looking forward to mom getting home though cause she definitely understands us much better.

Tiger Lily's Diary

Tonight once again the petsitter was in a hurry. She zipped in and out fed us and the works. I am looking forward to really getting to spend time with her on Thursday. When she left she said she would come in tomorrow and change the trash bag out and then hang with me a little. I was sad when she left. Don't tell her but I really like her. I enjoy hanging out under the chair and swatting at her keychain. Anyway not much to say cause the petsitter wasn't hardly here.

Skye's Diary

This morning the petsitter rushed in and rushed out. It was like she was in fast forward mode. She zipped in the door, put dry food in the bowl, got the wet food started, grabbed Tiger Lily and put goo in her eyes, served us breakfast, and scooped the litter box and it seemed like it took her all of 30 seconds. I almost couldn't keep up. I was kinda nervous about the whole thing so I just sat on the steps and watched until she left the house. She said that she had to squeeze us into her book but that after Thursday she'd be able to hang with us longer each visit. She was asking me where mom kept the trash bags and I acted like I didn't know. Tiger Lily told me she stole the last one from the house so I wasn't about to be an accomplice to her covering it up by replacing the bag in the trash can. When I didn't answer her she said she was going to have to call my mom and ask her. Yeah right and admit she stole the original one in the first place I don't believe it. If she replaces the bag I'll be surprised because I don't think she's got the guts to admit she took the other one. Who knows though humans are a weird species after all. I guess if it happens I'll have to report it in the journal in case someone makes a movie like they did with Anne Frank's Diary. I have always dreamed of being famous for my diary one day cause it's the easiest kind of book to write.

Mary Lou's Diary

This morning the petsitter showed up at around 1030am. I think she's been sleeping in or something lately. Any way I followed her around the house yelling at her and nagging her for not being here earlier and for taking so long to feed me and for not petting me enough. The list goes on. I tell her every time she's here that she's just not good enough. She told me today that if I keep quacking at her it won't make her go any faster but I don't care. She told me that if my mom had any little kids in the house they'd be confused because I quack instead of meowing and kids would be confused with that. Winnie was laughing in agreement. She thought that agreeing with the petsitter would be a good way of kissing butt in attempt to get the basement door open. It didn't work. Well I'll go for now before my food gets any colder.

Cute Cat Video

Check this video out and see all the crazy stuff the kitties end up doing. The clip where the cat climbs the woman's leg while she washes dishes is what my cat Delila does. You can only imagine the pain of this experience which always comes when I least expect it.

Bea's Diary

This morning the petsitter was in a daze when she got up. She wandered into the kitchen in her tight fitting pink underware and scooped food for us and then she went back to the bed. 30 minutes later she came out in the same daze and gave Hugo his shot. She distracted him by telling him to look at something on the wall that wasn't there and then she poked him good with the needle. He jumped cause he wasn't ready and I was about to fall over laughing at the whole darn scene. Some big hairless human in pink underware bending over and scaring herself and Hugo half to death with a little bitty needle. I only wish I had a video camera so I could put the video on You Tube. Tonight she came into the house and fed us and then she sat down and ate with us. Of course she gets heated quesadilla's while we have to endure the cold wet food that she gives us every day. She is pretty nice though cause she feeds us a spoonful every 2 hours while she's awake. I overheard her telling Hugo it was better for his metabolism and his diabetes to do that. She's always nagging him to eat something to keep his blood sugar stable. I hear him talking back to her all the time about it. When she finished eating she ran off to the Starbucks to play on her computer since she can't get a connection at our house. She came back bitching and complaining about it because Starbucks uses T-Mobile HotSpot which costs her 20 dollars a month on her cell phone bill. She said that other coffee shops have better coffee and free wireless so she thinks that for all the "green" "hippy" "grass roots" image crap that Starbucks does that they are just another corporate rip off with watered down coffee and screw you out of your money internet connections. She told me to ask my mom when she comes back if it would be ok for me to give her the password to mom's wireless connection so she won't have to leave and she won't have to spend any money. Hopefully I remember to ask mom about it.

Tiger Lily's Diary

Hey it's me Tiger Lily!!! I'm writing with exclamation points so you can get the energy of my little high pitched squeeky meow. The petsitter came in and out pretty quickly tonight. She said she'd try to spend more time with us tomorrow morning but that she had to squeeze us into her schedule tonight so she would have to rush. She basically came in and put goo in my eyes, fed us, pet Skye a couple of swipes and took the trash bag and ran out the door. Now that I think about it I had better ask my mom when she comes back whether or not she was allowed to do that. It seems like stealing to me. I'm going to tell my mom she took the trash from the house just in case. Dinner was great tonight because we had a fresh bag of dry food and yummy wet food too. Skye said she was fine with the petsitter running in and then right back out because it gave her the opportunity to eat in peace and have the house to herself. I've got to get off the computer now cause I've been told I have a time limit since other animals get to use it. I hope the petsitter doesn't ever bring me the computer smelling like dog or I may have to spit on it. Any way I'll be back tomorrow night to add another entry to the pet diaries. TTFN tah tah for now.

Winnie's Diary

The petsitter came this morning and fed/watered us. Scooped the litter boxes and gave us a little hit of baby food. I asked her if I could go into the basement and she said no because she didn't have time to wait for me to come upstairs. She said that she would let me in there later tonight and I knew she was BSing me because she's been saying that since Saturday night. Oh well I guess I'll get to go down there eventually even if I have to wait until my mom comes home. Mary Lou is doing her normal thing of sleeping in front of the window in the living room all the time. I don't know how she sleeps in that position that she does. It's like she's standing up and her nose is in the covers. I think I would feel like I was suffocating if I slept like that. Keep your fingers crossed for me to be able to go into the basement tonight when she comes back.

Hugo's Diary

Today the petsitter showed up right before 6:30 fed us and then ran out the door to take care of other cats. I of course could have cared less because I was busy lounging in my little bed near the TV. She made goofy noises at me and tried to get me up but I just turned my nose up at her. She doesn't know how stressful my life is on a daily basis so she thinks she can nag me. It's tuff work being a cat people think it's all just fun and games. I have to walk around the house and make sure there aren't any intruders and if there are I have to assess what kind of intruder it is. If the intruder has 4 or more legs I know I can take them out but if they have less than 4 legs it's questionable and I have to run under the bed. It causes much anxiety walking around the house not knowing what could lurk around the next corner. Any way after doing my duties as the house sentry I then have to go and get high on my catnip scratcher to calm myself down. Once I do that I'm out of commission for some time. I know people tell me all the time I should stop and that I'm addicted but I don't care. I'm old. I think once you become a senior citizen you should have freedom to do anything you want. Anyway I have to go cause other kitties need to use the computer.

Skye's Diary

Today was a good day because I knew my mom was going to be coming home. I don't like it too much when she's gone. The petsitter is nice but she just doesn't understand me so I usually keep to myself when she's here. I guess it's normal for adults to not really get us teenagers. Tiger Lily is doing fine I guess. I always hear her squeaking when the petsitter puts the ointment in her eyes. She tries to make herself cute in order to save herself from the ointment ceremony every day. The petsitter scooped the litter box every day that she was here accept for today. I guess she was running late and she told me that she had a billion other kitties to take care of. She told me we were out of dry food so hopefully mom remembers where she left the secret stash or we'll be in for it. At least we made it to the last day and we have plenty of wet food if it comes down to that. I don't want to be mean but I think Tiger Lily needs to lose a bit of weight anyway cause she keeps eating my food and hers both. I know we have to bulk up for the winter but man has she gotten greedy. LOL Any way the petsitter tells me other cats have to use the computer so I guess I'll leave to journal another day.

Cosmo's Diary

Today we waited all day long for the petsitter to show up. We were hungry as heck because we are trying to put on our winter weight and she just showed up at 7:20pm. What in the world is she thinking? I don't know if she realizes it but we need to stock up for the winter and we really love that new senior food that mom got us. We've been eating more of that than any dry food we've had since this petsitter has known us. As a matter of fact Archie is nibbling on the dry food right now as I type even though he ate the heck out of the wet food already. After we ate Archie and I felt it necessary to get a little exercise in so we decided to run a few laps around the house. The petsitter isn't too much of a personal trainer so we have to take the initiative and do it ourselves. I don't know what my mom pays for but she's not much for running laps with us or anything. I can say however that the petsitter is one of the best snugglers I've ever met and she loves hanging out with us. She even turns the TV to Animal Planet when I ask her to. Today she agreed to watch the animal episode of funny home videos so we're all satisfied. Overall it's a great deal having her around. Archie just yelled down from the top of the refridgerator in agreement. Well I had better stop writing for now as my petsitter tells me there are other kitties who need to use the computer.

Mary Lou and Winifred

All is well with Mary Lou and Winnie. They are eating everything in site this go round. I think it must be related to the fact that winter is here. I have a theory that animals eat a lot more in the winter time. Treats are being given every night and they are eating the K/D and A/D food just fine. The litter scooping is the same as always and Mary Lou is peeing outside the box nearly every day since the very beginning day that I was here. The neighbor has built a fence in the back yard while I've been here and I'm wondering if it follows the property line appropriately. It looks good but who knows if it's legal or not. Here in Atlanta you have to get permission for each and every little thing you do. Mary Lou is doing well with all the commotion and has slept right through it all. Her Norvasc, Ovaban and everything else is being disbursed to her just fine.

Tiger Lily and Skye

All is well with Tiger Lily and Skye. They are just the same as always. Tiger Lily is going to want some attention when her mom gets home cause I have cut the last couple of appointments short. Today she came upstairs to play with me while I scooped the litter box instead of eating her food. Skye came on the chair with me on the first day I was here and let me pet her a whole lot. It was the first time she'd let me really pet her that much in all the times I've been taking care of them. I haven't really been permitted to pet her since of course. I have seen her in my wonderings round the house but she hasn't come down when I do the feeding the last few days. Tiger Lily is doing good with the eye drops and there is nothing special to report other than that.

Archie and Cosmo

All is well with Archie and Cosmo. They are both as snuggly as ever and Archie is a hungry little rascal. He kept trying to eat upon my lunch the other day. He was telling me that he prefers turkey sandwiches over wet cat food any day. Cosmo told me to keep a lookout for a package from FedEx and the neighbor eventually brought that to me. I've been doing all the traditional petsitting duties like scooping the litterbox and feeding/watering everyone. The trash can has been brought in and mom comes home tomorrow so all is well at the Archie and Cosmo ranch.
