Oh Jean Claude

Jean Claude on "his" chair

Jean Claude, the black male Bombay, returned home last night after a 24-hour adventure. Still puzzled to how he got out the house, perhaps as I was hanging a Christmas wreath on the back door. However he got out and what he did during his day-long dissapearance remains a mystery. CCL and I spent hours yesterday looking for him in the back alley behind my house. As JC is a house cat he doesn’t tend to travel far. I also expressed angst to any and all who would listen despite assurances from CCL the little bad a@* would return. I remained unconvinced as I had put food out for the little bugger and it had not been eaten. Bombays, as cat lovers know, love food. I decided to go to bed but just before midnight I jumped out of bed almost knocking Roxie, the Japanese bobtail, out of her slumber and went downstairs and noticed the spotlight on my garage flickering off and on. I knew. I opened the back porch door and let Jean Claude inside and he went straight for his food bowl and then to his favorite chair for a nap. Typical male.

Tat a Tat As the Holiday Season Goes

Posted on December 29, 2010 by Azeena

Tomorrow we are two days from a new year. For some folks and critters a new year symbolizes a new beginning, a clean start ,an empty slate. For others the new year brings a chance to purge the memories of the past. For Roxie and Jean Claude this year has been quite something and they have had an adverturous and rather splendid holiday season, spending time at my house and at CCL’s house. Although they escaped twice from CCL’s during Christmas dinner – sorry CCL but it was small bag of trash that had to be taken outside. They really seemed to enjoy Christmas dinner with family at CCL’s. Roxie and Jean Claude are a favorite of my aunt Fran who doesn’t like cats but is very entertained by this duo. Yes they performed for her and showed her love and attention, rubbing her leg and jumping on the back of her chair and running across. Animals entertain and love and nuture us. We should show our furry friends love and attention too. Do your part to support the Washington Animal Rescue League – www.warl.org or the Animal Rescue league in your town.
