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.
Morning Constitutional
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.
Sex and the City Kitty
OK. Roxie, the Japanese bobtail, loves television and old movies. CCL says it’s the sounds of voices and the activity on the screen that captivates her. After all, CCL maintains, animals can’t discern what’s happening on television. So CCL and I agree to disagree on the subject of whether Roxie is actually watching television. But I know for a fact Roxie is a huge fan of “Sex and the City, ” particularly Seasons Two and Five, which also happen to be my favorites. Now I don’t know if it’s New York, the fashions or the banter but if I turn on episode of “Sex and the City” on Roxie jumps on in my lap or saunters nearby and at least appears to be watching Sarah and the girls on TV – fascinated.
Still the fashion maven (or cross dresser???) appears to be Jean Claude, the black Bombay, who regularly goes through my t-shirt drawer – ah… looking for something to wear?
