A MOST NEEDED UPDATE HERE!!

Has it already been six months since the last update? 

Last time, 

Ophelia was your hostess and yapped her big mouth... 

Now it's my turn!! 

See here a picture above of the both of us taken this september. 

As you can see, 

we are both alive and well!! 

Alright, 

let's recap!!

Last spring, 

Ophelia went to the vet to get fixed, 

like i did...

 

While i had a few days rest without her around, 

she recuperated quite well 

and was happily reunited with the Man 

who brought her back home... 

Of course!!

She may be young but she knows the game, 

playing coy with the Man...

How come she got to keep her claws? 

not fair if you ask me...

Last spring, 

Ophelia started seeing ghosts...

I swear i could sense something as well.

We both settled down for a while...

but after doing some house cleaning, 

we came across a lot of hair. 

Ghost hair?!? 

Ticklebear claims there are no ghost, 

and that we are the ones shedding all over the place... 

HOW RUDE!!!

When springtime arrived, 

it was Ophelia's first 

and she marveled at everything she saw and smelled. 

I must admit it was intoxicating for me too 

after the long winter months.

May was sunny and warm 

and offered many moments of quietness.

Moments occasionally interrupted by my roommate...

Ah, who cares?!?

No matter how cute i act...

Ticklebear has eyes mostly on his computer or the new girl...

Yeah, yeah!! 

I get it!! 

She's cute!!!

But it would be nice 

if it would be my turn once in a while...

Sure, 

we girls occasionally share some good times.

On May 15th, 

it was my birthday and Ticklebear gave me a scratcher. 

I loved the attention 

but he shouldn't think he'll get away from his duties to me: 

because he had me declawed, 

he promised he would scratch me until the end of time to my heart's content. 

He did also get a glove that simply drives me nuts with glee!! 

Purrrrrring!!

Ophelia's birthday was July 21rst. 

She loved that toy that is now defunct. 

She didn't get scolded for breaking it... 

Guess who's the favorite here?!? 

OH, WAIT!! 

I did exactly the same thing when I was her age 

and Ticklebear didn't get upset with me either. 

Sorry, honest mistake here!! 

I guess it's OK to break these, 

as long as we leave the leather couch and the television alone, 

right?!?

Truth be said, 

she amuses herself with most anything, 

like when she plays fetch with those cigarette foils rolled up into a ball...

or vulgar pieces of ribbon. 

I tell you!! 

Truly anything amuses her!!

I must give credit here to the Man: 

he got me/us a laser pointer. 

WHAT A DELIGHTFUL THING!!

He was even cute when he got those glasses with cats painted on them. 

That's so unlike him though.

And he even got us a new floor lamp when the old one broke down. 

One thing he should be reminded though:

we see perfectly well in the dark!!! 

He really didn't have to go through all that trouble.

Then August came by 

and it was official:

Ophelia would stay with us 

as her portrait was hung up on the wall 

next to mine and Igraine's...

The Man still annoys us with his camera, 

trying to get some GLAM shots, 

as he calls them...

This one was taken last June 

as Ophelia cuddled up to me. 

You can all see just how enthusiastic i was about this... 

The Man was very happy to see us together like that. 

I was not!!!

One thing I am happy to report though: 

Ophelia, by stuffing her face all of the time, 

is turning into a pig!!! 

I kid you not!!

She's half my age and already bigger than my pretty self...

Bitching aside, 

do you understand why I have trouble with this? 

I was doing just fine on my own. 

It looks now like it will be an endless series of room-for-two, 

dinner-for-two, litter-for-two, toys-for-two... 

I didn't sign up for a threesome!!! 

Sigh... 

still, 

Life is good around here!! 

Purrrrring!!

HA-HA!! I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING, MY PRETTY!!

I was rather surprised to see

Ticklebear with a brand new carrier,

which I decided to make mine.

I am the first lady of the house after all

and I figured I got first pick.

Therefore,

he grabbed the other carrier and put Ophelia in it...

Could it be?!?

Could it really??

She's going to the vet!!

She's going to the vet!!

It is nice to see that

Ticklebear will not treat her any differently

and she'll go through exactly the same things I went through

each time I went to the vet myself.

Forgive me,

even if I've resigned myself to her presence,

I cannot help feeling jubilant about this!!!

HA-HA!!

Purrrrrrring!!

MUSIC FOR YOUR PUSSY

You'll never know what a single girl like me do at nitgh!!!
Alright!!
So, I may have surrendered my ovaries to the vet,
but a girl can still dream,
can't she?!?
Purrrrrring!!

I'M FREE !!!

And I'm feeling just fine!!!
Another visit to the vet
to finally rid me of these metallic stitches
so my life can go back to normal,
at last.
This feels so good!!
I did make a scene at the vet
as the procedure was not very well explained to me,
& TICKLEBEAR got a bit upset with me,
but once we got home,
he gave me a treat anyway.
I guess I didn't do so bad...
or someone's feeling a bit guilty here?!?
If only my fur could now grow back,
nobody will be able to tell
and it'll be our little secret...
Purrrrrring!!

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!

Well,
that was an adventure alright!!
When I got to the vet yesterday afternoon,
I was "welcomed" with an injection,
(talk about a welcome...),
then I was left in a small space with a grid,
not much of a view,
& my neighbors were rather noisy.
I wasn't thrilled with the accomodations,
if you want to know the truth.
I missed my home with TICKLEBEAR!!!
Later on,
the vet took me & set me on a table,
& the rest is pretty fuzzy.
But when I came around,
I just felt weird inside,
& my paws also felt strange.
OH MY GOD!!!
My claws are gone!!!
And I got some metallic threads on my belly.
What happened to me?
Should I be calling 9-1-1?
Or my lawyer?
I felt pretty lonely all night,
& the day that followed was a long one.
But come evening,
I was pleasantly surprised to see TICKLEBEAR appear,
and he seemed as delighted to see me as I was.
That's a relief
as I was afraid he might have left me.
He picked me up gently & put me in the carrier,
promising the worse was over
& we were going home.
Best news I've had in a while.
When we got home,
he served me my favorite dish,
some trout!!
It was great to find myself again on familiar grounds,
with my toys & my plushy furniture,
& someone to look over me.
There's no place like home!!!
Purrrrrring!!

SO I'M OFF!!!

There's nothing wrong with me,

I'm feeling just fine,

& yet,

TICKLEBEAR is taking me to the vet...again!!!

Didn't we just go last week?!?

I don't know what's going on,

but he's been starving me (literally)

since midnight last night.

& he also said to pack up for an overnight stay.

Is he pushing me away?!?

He's been odd lately...

I don't know what he's up to,

but I'll see this as an adventure

& just go with the flow.

I'll tell you all about it

upon my return.

Bye for now!!!

Purrrrrring!!
