Adventures in Manscaping

Newton: I had to go get manscaped this weekend. The humans say that I don’t take good enough care of my armpits and that they were getting matted again.

The humans tried to tell me that I should be excited to be the first of us to take our new carriers out of the house. Can you see my excitement?

Newton secured in car with sleepypodRiding in the car isn’t so bad when you can see. This photo was when I heard, “What’s the point of having a crash-tested carrier if you hang out of it?”

Newton peeks out of sleepypod in carI had to wait in the waiting room a while, and a lot of dogs came and went. I’ll tell you, I could have taken on any of them. Well, maybe not that biggest one, but the rest of them. Well, maybe not all at once, but for sure one at a time. I would have shown them which cat was the boss around there. I stayed secure in my carrier instead, though. It’s more comfortable in there, anyhow.

I  wasn’t quite as eager to get out of the carrier once I got to the exam room. I did try to walk around a bit before the vet came in, but the humans insisted that there were bad dog germs around and asked me to go back to my carrier. I agreed, but only because of the germs. Not because I’m afraid of dogs.

Getting manscapedYou can tell the humans fear my wrath because of how many hands it took to manscape my armpits. That’s three humans to hold one little cat. And I wasn’t even putting up much of a fight!

So how was your weekend?

Upside-Down is Right Side Up

Pierre: When there’s a sunbeam, the only way to feel its rays tickling my tummy is to be upside down.

Pierre is upside-down I love to lounge in the sunbeams while the friendly sunbeams heat up the tiles around me.

Losing Her Chickens

Ashton: Did you hear that the amazing chicks that Sage sent to me were mysteriously returned to her…. in a box with Newton and Pierre’s paw prints all over it? I’ve been looking for evidence here, but so far, no luck. They’re sneaky boycats. 

Ashton Ashton: So when my friend Cathy Keisha sent me some chicks still in their incubators, I was really excited. At last, chicks to start growing chickens for my chicken emporium!

Ashton and the incubator chicks

 Ashton:  Only now they’ve gone missing, too. I don’t understand it. It’s like there was some chicken-eating monster in the house. I’m supposed to be the only chicken-eating monster around here.

Hey, Newt, have you seen my chicks?

Newton paws tiny chickNewton: Huh, no, I don’t see any chicks out here. Did you check under the bed behind the dust bunnies?

Newton with chickNewton: *whispers* It’s just you and me now, little chick. Ashton goes under the bed for hours at a time!

Newton has a tiny chickNewton: I know you are growing and aren’t ready yet, but let’s see how you taste.  * SLURP *  You don’t taste anything like chicken.

Newton licks tiny chickAshton: Can you come help me, Newt?

Newton: I’m kinda busy right now.

Ashton: These dust bunnies are mostly made of your fur, and I can’t see past them.

Newton: * sigh * All right, all right. On my way.  * whispers * And you wait right here, little chick. I’ll be back!

What’s Out There?

Pierre: Oohhhhh….

Pierre peeks out window

Sometimes I have to lurk like the jungle creature I am to keep from scaring these off, but it’s totally worth it. So close, yet so far away!

squirrel in grassI can almost taste him already. If it weren’t for the window, he’d be mine!
