This morning we welcomed the two cats, Kali and Castro, to the “Hotel California.”
Our kitties are indoor/outdoor animals. They are great hunters and I am highly suspicious that they supplement their Cat Chow with little creatures they catch in the yard. They always come in bright and early in the morning and head straight for their food dish. Those two cats can really pack away the food!
This morning, however, they were going to go on a road trip. Today was the day that Kali, Castro and Paxton (my pudgy puppy) were to go and play at Reggie’s House while we made the trip to the Chicago Marathon.
Paxton LOVES going to Reggie’s House!
When I brought out the official, “You get to go to Reggie’s House” bag, Paxton was beyond himself with excitement. The cats? Not so thrilled. They had come in, ate and wanted to immediately go right back outside.
It was not meant to be.
When those cats go back out in the morning after their breakfast, you never know when you will see them again! Nope. They had to stay in the house today until it was time to go over to Reggie’s.
They were not happy.
Those two cats made every imaginable kitty noise that I think they ever learned. I think it is a good thing that I do not speak cat or else they probably would be in trouble for their kitty language. They were unhappy.
I did remember to pack Kali’s medication…and the tuna it gets mixed in. She refuses to take her medication unless it is mixed in tuna. Real tuna. Not cat food tuna. Spoiled cat. I remembered kitty treats for both of them. That will make Castro happy.
Paxton? #1 Son brought over a brand new stuffed puppy toy for him yesterday. If you chew on it just right, it squeaks! Paxton practiced and practiced on that squeaker last night. He was getting pretty good with it, too, that is, until I took it away for the night. He will be happy to have it to play with while we are gone.
So, the cats will be grumpy kitties until we pick them up on Tuesday morning. Paxton? He will have the time of his life.
Silly animals.
