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.

When the Cats Are Away

Roxie and Jean Claude are at their other residence. I miss them but I do welcome the chance to reclaim my home.  When they go to CCL’s house,  I undercover furniture and put away their toys and their scratching posts .  I visit them at CCL’s house.    We all need time for solitude and renewal.  It allows us  to  recapture our spirit and reflect on the many blessings from God.

Baby It’s Cold Outside

Many of you know that Jean Claude pats the windows blind when he wants us to raise them so he can look out at the world.  We had some snow recently and it’s still pretty cold so JC doesn’t exercise his option to go outside.  JC can go out because he  stays in the yard and comes back inside in  a reasonable amount of time.  Roxie is a bit of tart and once let outdoors feels its her prerogative to hang out all night so she’s pretty much on lockdown.

The Critters Are Still… At My House

Sitting Still

As many of you who read this blog regularly know, Roxie and Jean Claude have two residences:  my house and my daughter CCL’s house.  CCL was to pick them up from my house Thursday night.  Yet as I write this blog Roxie is watching the computer screen intently, perhaps trying to see what I write about her and JC.   Yep, they are still here.  Although still is not the operative word.  Yesterday morning they were  fighting like cats and dogs.  I say dogs because Jean Claude , a black Bombay, thinks he’s a dog.  It was quite a fight – lots  of  running, leaping screeching, meowing and clawing and fur flying everywhere, mostly Jean Claude’s.  Roxie is pretty feisty.   Still??   Earlier this morning I went to get one of my winter tops out of the closet.  The tops are usually stacked neatly on top of shelf in the closet but Jean Claude has a habit of pulling them out as if sorting  them for something to wear.   Sure enough, tops scattered everywhere on the closet floor and a sky blue velour top  I like is no where to be found.  There I said it.  Sorry JC now the world knows your secret.  JC  also knocked down a bag containing   CCL’s jewelry wrapped in plastic and began playing with the plastic .  He then went to get him something to eat and demanded (by patting on the  front window blinds ) I raise the blinds so he could see out the front window.   So despite the clothing and jewelry fetish,   Jean Claude is all male.  In fact he spends a great deal of time in his cave.
