Kitty argument

Right now Eve and kitty are in the kitchen. Eve went in there to make some tea. Kitty darted right in there after her. It's just after 8:00 PM and Tulip thinks it's time for a snack. The two of them are arguing over this. It's going something like this:

Tu: MRRRREEEEEEEEEW!
Eve: No Kitty.
Tu: MRREEEW!
Eve: NO! It's not time yet.
Tu: MREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Eve: KITty!
Tu: mmmeh.

Contemplating the litterbox

Tulip has been up to some weirdness lately. She keeps going into the bathroom and sitting in front of her litterbox. She just "stares" at it. She does it like 15-20 times a day. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with her. She's not going in there and straining to use the box or anything. She just sits in front of it and contemplates it. Freaky!

That's Doctor Tu to you

I came home from my vacation with the flu. Yesterday morning I couldn't even drag myself off the bed. Miss kitty curled up in the blankets to watch over me. She nestled up against me all morning while I faded in and out of sleep. In the afternoon I mustered enough strength to make it to the couch, just for a change of scenery. Tulip followed along. Once I got myself settled in a heap of blankets, she curled up against my stomach. Even when Eve went into the kitchen, kitty stayed by my side. At one point she left, but came right back to take care of me. She even let me pet her.

In the past, whenever I was sick Dee used to take care of me. He'd always lay on me until I felt better. I've missed that ever since he's been gone. I'm so happy that Tulip has decided to take over his practice. What a sweetheart.

Mama's home!

We got back from our roadtrip this afternoon. When I came into the house, Tulip kitty was sitting at the far end of the hallway. She perked up when I called her name, but she didn't seem to be convinced that it was really me. I walked down the hallway to her and reached my hand down so she could smell it. As soon as she did, her whole face lit up. She stood up and arched her back so I could pet her. She let out a little chirp. It melted my little heart.

After we unpacked some of our stuff, Eve took a nap. I had some reading to finish, so I went into the office. Kitty joined me. She was very vocal for the first several minutes. Finally she jumped up in her chair for a big nap. She was out like a light, sleeping in her chair next to my desk, content as could be. She even tolerated a belly rub. Kitty missed us!

I felt bad when I had to leave her again to go to school tonight. I can hardly wait to get home and curl up in bed with her. It was a long few days without her. I missed her every night when I went to sleep, and I missed her every morning when I woke up.

Vacation time

Hello, Tulip fans. We won't have any updates for the next several days while I am on vacation. Miss Tulip will have several kitty-sitters while I'm gone. I imagine that means there will be some interesting stories when I get back.

See you next week!
