Present from Jan - update

We have video after all! When I downloaded all the files off of the camera, I found this. The camera shut itself off because it was full, so I missed her running away with the Greenie at the end. It's better than nothing though.

Present from Jan

Yesterday Eve called to tell me that Tulip received a present in the mail. It was from my sister-in-law Jan. Jan gave kitty some fun toys when she and my brother were visiting last fall, so I was curious to see what it was. I told Eve we should videotape Tulip opening her package.

Last night I set up the camera and put the package down on the floor. Eve coaxed kitty over to it with her birdie toy. Once she realized the package was there she was smelling it, rubbing her head on it, pawing at it. It was adorable. Then Eve helped her open it up. Tu was running around, jumping in and out of the picture. At one point she was in mid-air. It was hilarious. Her present was a package of Greenies which are kitty treats. Eve took one out and put it on the floor. Kitty grabbed it and ran off with it, stopping to chomp it down in 2 bites.

I was SO thrilled we got all of that on camera. We could hardly wait to watch it. Eve came over and I hit Play on the camera. Only to realize that I had never pressed Record. We missed the entire thing. *siiiiiiiiigh* That's about right.

I wonder if that ever happens on movie sets?

What's in a name?

I have a habit of making up nicknames for people. The general rule seems to be that the more I like you, the more nicknames you have.

With that in mind, here is a list of Tulip kitty's assorted aliases. Mostly we call her Tu, but among other things she is also known as:

Twolips / Twowips
Toot / Toots
Tutu
Miss Kitty / Kitty
Punk / Punky / Punk Rocker
Squints
Stripes
Sweets
Girl
Little Tiger
Tiggy
Fangy / Fangy Fangums
Head Bangy

Kitty gets lonely

We've noticed that every time we leave the house for an extended period, Tulip kitty drags Wyatt Bear out. If we've been gone for a while, we usually come home to find Wyatt laying in the hallway, or by the closets in between the bedroom and the bathroom. All we can figure is that kitty gets lonely and pulls Wyatt out of her bed to keep her company. Poor kitty gets lonely! She's so used to having at least one of us home with her.

"Sometimes you're my only friend, Wyatt!"

I'm going straight to hell for laughing at this.
