This is MY box. Mine... understand?
Charcoalie here... Stories from the vacation weeks! The pet sitter got along with us ok. At first, Bonnie greeted him at the door or top of the stairs, growling, but later on, she stayed on the cat towers and just glared at him. Victor was a bit shy but eventually his need for belly rubs took over. The sitter provided plenty of treats along with the necessary care.
There was mischief, of course. One day, Bonnie was sitting right on top of a place mat... in the middle of the table... like a queen on her throne. The sitter guessed (correctly) that only I am allowed on the table, as I don't shed on or eat the bean dinner!
Victor's mischief was more playful... he found a bag of trash Mom thought she took out, tore it open and spread tissue all over the top of the stairs and down the hall. It just happened to be the day the sitter was late. Served him right!
When the beans returned last week, Mom came in first. Victor treated her like she'd been gone all day, not two weeks. Then she followed Victor upstairs. Bonnie was waiting at the top of the stairs and hissed at Victor, then growled at Mom. Well, Mom headed for the treat cupboard, but while Victor did his spins and meowed, Bonnie continued to growl. Then Dad walked in and called to Bonnie. Her tail shot up and she mewed and trotted happily up to him. She's completely devoted to him and ONLY him!
We're Wisconsin tabbies, Victor and Nina. We are cats. This Blog is Dedicated to Bonnie Underfoot, in Loving Memory.
We are totally in agreement that it's good that your family is all home again! And hope that you have a nice week!

looks like it all werks out for your - Bonnie has her man and Victor has mom - one for each of you!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is important for cats to show those humans who is boss. I think it's great that Bonnie is a watch cat. They should appreciate how much work she is doing by scaring off evil intruders!

Bonnie, you growled? Wow! I do not know how to growl, but I wish I did. Because I would like to growl at some things, too.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Bonnie, for letting the Beans know how wrong it is to leave kitties. I like the way you drape your legs over your tub. Authoritative, but graceful.

Hi Victor,
ReplyDeleteI love a mancat who reads! And yes, I love to read AND play. And snuggle, and watch birds AND snakes. I'm very well-rounded. Like Hillary Clinton says: "I'm Your Girl!!"
I think this is the start of a wonderful friendship!

I'm glad your humans are back home. It sounds like your cat sitter took good care of you, even if you were up to some mischief. Bonnie is clearly a daddy's girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm a Daddy's girl too Bonnie...but, I love my Mommy. I don't think I know how to growl. Hmmm I have to think about this. I know I don't know how to do a cool spin like Victor tho...Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteBonnie reminds me of my sis Cookie. Not only does she look like he, but she has the sae attitude. I'm glad that your family is back home now.
ReplyDeleteYay! THEY are back!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to have everyone home. It is vry good Bonnie is a terrific watch cat, she'll make sure everything is safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got some belly rubs Victor! That would be a long time to be without them (course I'm OK with that, just not a lack of chin scritches)
I'm glad you and Sadie are special friends. She is a pretty, floofy girl
Yay for the Mom and Dad getting back! Bonnie makes a very good girlgoyle. I am glad you had some fun with the sitter, Victor. Bonnie you are a very good guard cat.
ReplyDeleteWowee! That was so mean of your beans to leave you alone for 2 whole weeks!!! Good thing that the pet sitter gave out extra treats.
ReplyDeleteOur Annie is a daddy's girl too. Such a suck-up...

ReplyDeleteOh yeah, Zippy and Bonnie haf a lot in common, 'cept Zippy likes mom, tho she does growl at her sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way about my Daddy. He is just the best. MOmma is OK when I am hungy or thirsty or need a treat, but Daddy's lap is the one I want and it is Daddy I cuddle up to at night.
ReplyDeletePatches
Its a bit that way around here. Kavan is happy to see anyone. Me, if Mom doesn't come through the door with Dad, I sit and yowl at the front door waiting for her.
