I returned from a visit to my home town to find a poopy Roxie. She gets like that sometimes, unfortunately it is still a lot of work to clean up. She’s better now as I write this but Jean Claude was seemingly concerned. He is a good friend to his fellow feline. In fact the two regularly express gestures and licks of fondness(when Roxie is NOT kicking JC’s behind – ok it is funny to watch as she, a Japanese bobtail is half his size).
Morning Constitutional
When at my house, Roxie and Jean Claude have a morning routine. If I am not up by a certain time Roxie jumps on the bed and gets in my face to wake me up. After I go through a couple of my own morning rituals, I go downstairs quickly followed by Jean Claude and Roxie who usually stop to take in a little breakfast and then wait for me to open the back porch door so they can go outside. JC generally likes to go and hang for awhile. When the neighbors let their dogs out and the dogs bark, he sits in the grass unphased, ocassionally dialouginng with birds. Roxie of course is well sheself. Of late she’s taken to plopping on
my easy chair in my outdoor sitting room underneath the back porch. Just chillin.
In the Bag – The Kitty Recycling Campaign
Jean Claude is clearly an environmentalist. He enjoys going outdoors and he has an affinity for the reuse of paper products, newspapers crumbled in pieces, paper bags and boxes. Those products tend to stay around my house probably longer than they should as well CCL’s house for Jean Claude’s use and evaluation. Roxie will occassionally crawl into a paper bag but usually by mistake.
Pampered Kitties- Cush’s Beauty Regimen
There is no doubt Jean Claude and Roxie enjoy the fabu life…electronic liter boxes, filtered water and Fancy Feast…travel…multiple residences with great views, liberal work hours and luxury play items. They also are very much loved. My neighbors Paul and Isaiah have a cat too…Cush, always fun and lively who looks very young for her age. In addition she also takes glucosamine for her joints and get’s the best grooming possible as she is a very hairy cat – cats are love – they deserve our best.
Frisky Morning Maneuvers
I’ve read somewhere that cats sleep 80 percent of the time. I guess that Roxie and Jean Claude sleep all day while I’m at work cause they don’t sleep all night or much in the morning. Although they sometimes get into rather loud, fur flying brawls, usually in the morning, this morning there was a demand for play time and the need to go outside. It has been raining a lot here. A lot of people had to be rescued from floating cars and their homes.
