Sensory Overload

Well it has been far too long since my last post, but I have been busy on an expedition out of doors. Christa and her parents have allowed me to venture outside and see the real world, and you will not believe the excitement I have encountered. My first trip outside overloaded my senses and I was terrified! I stayed no more than two feet from the door and any loud noise or sign of other people made me dart back into the house. I gadually became accustomed to the intense sensations and my trips outside have become far more exciting! Bugs, birds, squirrels, and leaves crawling, hopping, running, and floating across the lawn! Ahhh I just want to be outside again bonding with nature. Sweet, sweet nature. I've began to give Christa and her parents a hard time, too. When I'm not ready for an adventure to be over, I run frantically from them and they end up chasing me all over the yard. It's pretty funny, and I actually enjoy the thrill. Well, today was quite the adventure. Christa took me outside for an ENTIRE hour! I was searching around trying to find something new and exciting, then I saw it, the jungle grass.

I took shade under the exotic plant and let my instincts take over. I felt like a wild cat from far east asia, a tiger crouching in the shade waiting for its prey. I spent nearly twenty minutes digging a hole in the dirt so I could lay comfortably, then I just played with the strands of grass and observed nature around me. It was magical. Unfortunately, Christa finished her cup of tea and forced me to come inside. So due to my frustration at the abrupt end of my adventure, I took it out on Nala. I ran right up to her and whacked her on the nose. That's all for now.....

I must admit, I have been slacking on my blog posts lately. I've been too busy basking in the sunshine and causing as much mischief as I can. Today, I knocked over a vase of flowers and spilled the water everywhere. Christa was not happy with me, at all. Anyway, I think there is something strange going on in our apartment. My favorite blue chair has been removed along with a lot of other furniture. I'm not sure what this means, but I DO NOT LIKE IT! Caitlin has not been around today, Joyce was carrying things out the door all morning, and Christa has huge boxes that she is filling with all of her things. I'm not sure what all this means, but if they even thinking about abandoning me they better think twice! I am here to stay, so someone is going to be stuck with me, ha! Well, I will try to keep my followers updated on these suspicious events, but right now I'm tired of writing...it's nap time!

Long-awaited Appreciation

After a depressing phase of my life, I finally feel back to normal. I think the creation of my new playhouse has led to this change in mood. Caitlin and Christa devoted an entire night to painting this beautiful home for me, although I really don't know what any of the words mean. I'm sure they are all about my amazing and lovable personality.

Anyway, I have been spending a lot of my time in this wonderful kitty cabana. It is the nicest thing my people have done for me, and it took them long enough to do it! I have been such a good cat, and I was getting fed up with this lack of appreciation. I'm glad they finally realized how important I am to their existence.....

It's Like One Thousand Paper Cuts Soaked in Vinegar...

 It has been quite some time since my last post, my apologies.

My people just don't understand that I MUST, and I repeat, I MUST, taste everything. After all, how can you truly experience something if you don't know what it tastes like? Food, water, fur, couch cushions, hands, faces, drawstrings, synthetic rug fibers, hair; each with its own irresistable flavor. What really irks me is when my people tell me to, "Stop licking. Stop biting. Blah, blah, blah." You don't see me telling them what to do, although I should be the boss of the household.

Recently, life has just become unbearable. I have a deep-seated hatred for my people this week. They will not leave me alone, and all I want to do is sit by myself and stare at the wall. What don't they get about that? STOP picking me up, STOP petting me, STOP talking to me like I'm a baby, STOP holding me by my armpits so you can see my toes flare! How hard is it to leave me alone?! I wish I had one of those musical devices my people own (I'm not sure the name of it but it says "iPod" on it) so I could turn on some  The Spill Canvas, Dashboard Confessional, or Taking Back Sunday. Their music just fits perfectly with my mood this week.

Home Away from Home

This has been an AWFUL weekend! First, Christa snatched me from the gateway and took me to some hell hole that reeked of paint fumes and two other cats that kept nosing around the door. David was there too, but he wouldn't pay me any attention. I was furious! After a few hours, Christa came back and once again made me get in the car and drove me to some place far, far away.

Thank goodness I've been to this place before, and I don't mind being there. Yesterday, I found a new room to explore! it had this big square thing full of air (so much fun to run across) and i just kept making laps around the room over the thing. I was walking on air! Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, this room also had a big cup thing full of tall grass, and the grass tasted pretty good. Christa wasn't too happy when she found me gnawing on a piece, but I do what I want! She thinks she can tell me what to do, ha ha ha, i think not!

There is another cat that lives at this place, too. I try to play with her, but she is pretty old and boring. I hate old cats. They just don't know how to have a good time...I mean, how do they think laying on a couch, staring at a wall is fun?!

Well, I'm not sure how long I will be staying at this place, but I won't complain! It has a lot more interesting rooms to explore compared to the gateway. Hint, hint: get a new apartment Caitlin, Joyce, Cosi, and Christa!!!!!!!

It's My Way or the Highway

Yesterday, I had a crazy sneezing fit. I was running around driving Christa crazy in the morning as usual and I must have inhaled something on one of my laps around the apartment (most likely a dust bunny). I sat on my big blue chair and sneezed for about 10 minutes! I'm not sure what i inhaled, but I sure don't want to do that ever again!

This morning, I woke up and my belly hurt again....I used the litterbox, but Christa and Caitlin were disappointed in the result. They say I have "diarrhea" (whatever that is....). After I did my business, Christa gave me some nasty yellow stuff to swallow...it wasn't horrible, but not somethign I enjoyed. I wonder what its supposed to do? Maybe, it will give me more energy! Afterall, I could definitely use more. I only get in about two workouts in a day.

Tonight, Caitlin and Christa kept trying to get me to "pass the ball back." I know what they want me to do, but I do what I want. I refuse to participate in this activity because I hate being told what to do. It's my life, they just live in it.

Paradise....

I'm completely healed and feeling grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! brrrrrrrrrrrreow!

The other day I played with a ponytail holder for about 45min straight....it was exhilarating. Then, the spirit that lives in the crack of the couch started calling to me and I was trying so hard to get him, but he escaped my grasp yet again. I will catch him, if it is the last thing I do!  Other than that I have just been running arounf like a chicken with my head cut off. Typical.

My people opened the windows to the outside world the other day, and I sat there letting the cool breeze blow through my whiskers...just heavenly. Loving life....

It's Been a While

A lot of time has elapsed since my last post, but I am feeling better with each day! I spent the past week in recovery and napping with my boyfriend Tomás. He loves to snuggle, boy, do I love him!

Anyway, I'm pretty much back to my old self and cannot wait to begin working on ideas for my artwork again. Before I went to that awful place, I was in a groove making what could potentially be my best work yet. It entitled it, a self-propelling weapon of excrement. It has since been destroyed, but below is photo documentation of my pride and joy.

Well, I am going to go brainstorm new ideas for my next piece of artwork, oh, and cuddle with my boyfriend.

What is my life?

The cut on my belly keeps itching and i can't stop licking it! my people took me to that awful place because they said it looks like it is "infected." When we returned to the apartment they put this awful plastic cone around my neck.

I AM MISERABLE. I can't do anything! Today, I got stuck in the corner between the couch and the table...I couldn't get out. Later, Christa and Caitlin cleaned my belly with this stuff in a brown bottle...it felt awesome. I just lay there purring and purring...hopefully they clean it again.

End of My Defiance

I started using my litter box again (only because they lost the shredded newspaper and bought me some paper pellets, better litter simulation). Nothing really exciting has been happening around here lately, Cosi and Joyce are gone, I wonder when they will come back? Will they come back?! What if they are so mad at me for my accidents that they don't come back?!?! Ooooooooh toy mouse! squeak...squeak squeak. What was I talking about? Oh it probably wasn't that important anyway...

Four Accidents and Counting

I have been home for a day and have successfully annoyed my people. I made four total accidents on the carpet and plan on continuing this until I'm satisfied. The best part is that they don't feel like they can really punish me because my belly and toes still hurt. Ah, how sweet it is! Well I am pretty tired after my stressful visit to that awful place, so its nap time!

Revenge Will Be, Oh, So Sweet

I knew my people were up to something...

This morning I was forced to go to the awful place where ladies in white coats poke and jab me (it is not the first time I have been there, and  I HATE IT!). Today was even worse because one lady stuck this cold plastic/metal thing in me until it beeped, talk about uncomfortable! After that some lady took me away from Christa and that's the last thing I remember until this afternoon when I woke up with stitches in my belly and sore toes!

My people will pay for this...

Oh Brave New World That Has Such People In It!

Brrrrrrrrreow!

My given name is Minnie (cute right?), but these people I live with gave me an embarrassing full name of Minerva Winifred Grendel Matlack.  To be honest, they are ridiculous. Anyway, I am an energetic 5-month-old kitten that enjoys sleeping and terrorizing my people any way possible. For instance, last night I chewed through Joyce's head phones in four different locations. In my spare time, I enjoy decorating their apartment (mostly with my own waste products), and I'm pretty sure they appreciate it, since they always give me so much attention after I produce a new beautiful work of art.

That's all for now, but I have a feeling tomorrow's post may be interesting because it seems as though my people are plotting something.....
