Roxie and Jean Claude went to the vet the other day. Roxie’s arrival was greated with an “ah Roxie” by the receptionist. She is quite something but CCL said she was well behaved during the visit. “Jean Claude was the one who showed his tail” CCL reports. Roxie, a female Japanese bobtail, and Jean Claude, a male Bombay, have been at their other residence, my daughter Crazy Cat Lady’s house, for about a week. Yesterday I went to visit them. Roxie was very friendly and chatty. I fell asleep on the sofa and she jumped on top of me meowing for me to wake up. When I got up to go home my shoes were missing. Could of sworn I removed them when I was downstairs although I did go upstairs to visit briefly with Jean Claude who was napping on CCL’s bed. Later found the shoes upstairs by CCL’s dresser. Similar to the California Klepto Kitty – Dusty.
This is My House – Dog Gone It
Right now I have two buckets and a trash can, collecting water from my roof. A mishap I feel would have been avoided had I determined (after seven visits, several leaks and now two ceiling collapses in eleven years) that my roofer and likely my roof were not to be trusted. I have now discovered Angie’s list. The result of this dilemna, buckets leaking water means that Jean Claude and Roxie no longer visit me in my bedroom. Roxie who liked to cuddle and watch movies has been particularly disturbed by this development. She visits me frequently when I’m in the kitchen and has a forlorn and puzzled look on her face. The other day when I bent down under the kitchen sink she hopped on my back for a ride. A guilty pleasure up until now she reserved for my daughter CCL. I now have to bounce around on all fours to accomodate la chat. (please note I have Angie’s List -DC on speed dial)
Blinds, Birds and Trash Trucks
JC at the Bedroom Window
Jean Claude is a peace-loving animal. He looks out my bedroom window and actually tries to chat with the birds. Roxie, as those of you who read this blog know, is not so accomodating. Like most Bombays JC thinks he’s a dog and wants his belly rubbed. Last night he needed extra attention. Ms. Roxie was not pleased as she feels her need for nighttime attention supersedes his or anyone else’s for that matter. Eventually the fur began to fly…yes, at 3 am and on my bed!! Then, détente. Later Jean Claude made an early morning request that the blinds to my bedroom window be raised — by patting them– to accommodate his need to view his kingdom aka my backyard. Wednesday is trash day and for whatever reason he seems to find the process of trash collection fascinating.
The Places You’ll Find Love
Roxie and Jean Claude are back at my house or their other residence. They seem a bit tuckered out but happy to be here. They understand whether here or at CCL’s they are loved.
