Haven't I grown? Here I am looking at Mom from downstairs. I've learned to come to the front door and MIAOUW when I want to come back in! Sometimes Mom leaves the door ajar for me when I go outside. Oftentimes, I just sit near the doorstep and watch the activities in nature. I get that "intent" look when a bird doesn't notice me, but Mom often claps her hands! I wonder why she does that? Kinda spoils all my hunting fun! Cats are HUNTERS yanno! Granmarnie, I can't WAIT for you to see me now! My fur is getting better all the time! I've also filled out in some of my scrawny spots. Life feels very comfy now and Hubby was cuddling me the other day... until I heard the front door open! Then I must admit, I jumped outta his arms and raced downstairs!
Mom makes sure I have lots to eat. She never sees me drinking water though! I actually prefer milk. It certainly seems to agree with me. I will admit that I sometimes still give my Mom "lovebites" on her hands occasionally! Also, when I wanna go outside and she heads for the stairs, I do "box" her feet! That's to get her attention! I went TOTALLY bananas the other day. Just got some kinda wild thing inside and started jumping around the room and dashing backwards and forwards from the front door! When I sit there and give Mom the INTENT look, with wide-open, pleading eyes... HEY PRESTO, she OPENS that DOOR! A kindly neighbour gave me some new TOYS! I just LOVE the curly yellow thing! Mom rubbed a toy mouse in catnip and I went BERSERK! If that mouse was REAL... it woulda been SLICED! I have jolly good claws, yanno!
Here I am, looking up at her from downstairs. I love when she sticks her head out the window and gazes lovingly down at me and talks nice-nice! Do ya like my blue collar?? I AM Mr. Hobbes, after ALL!
