A Houseguest Is Among Us

Newton: It wasn’t just a rumor. There’s a really a houseguest here. And he’s great! I think all houseguests are pretty great. They are fun to watch, they will feed me from the breakfast table, and when they go out, I love to check out what they brought for me in their suitcases. Maybe they wear me out a little, but it’s totally worth it to have so much entertainment from somebody new around here.

I haven’t seen much of Pierre since our houseguest got here. He’s been spending a lot of time trying to blend in with the clothes in the closet.

And Ashton… well, I haven’t seen her except after dark. She’s hiding so far in the back of the closet that even I can’t see her.

So I had better run. I need to go look cute to see if maybe I can get an extra treat or two for it.

I hope everykitty has a great weekend. I know I’m going to. With everyone’s routine messed up, it’s my big chance to be the center of attention, the way I deserve!

Wordless Wednesday: Newton was Here Edition

Houseguest Rumors

Pierre: Hey, Ashton, did you hear the latest rumor?

Ashton: You mean about the Great Chicken Shortage of 2014? I checked Snopes and it’s an urban myth, thank Cod.

Pierre: No, not that one. I’m talking about our houseguest.

Ashton: I noticed the head peep was doing some extra house cleaning, but I thought that was about the coffee she spilled everywhere last week. You should have seen Newton run when he got hit by flying coffee.

Pierre: This is a houseguest situation for sure. I helped make the guest bed. I always help make beds.

Ashton: So what do we do about this?

Pierre: Same thing we always do, Ashton. Hide in the closet or under the bed while Newton follows the visitor around like a puppy.

Ashton: You heard Pierre, friends. We may not be able to read and comment very much over the next week because the head peep’s father is visiting. I’ll try to visit some of you while he’s making sleeping noises, if I can.

Walk This Way

Ashton: Okay, kitties, I’m going to share my secret of how to get the humans’ attention. You have to walk fancy for them. They love that, and they’ll drop whatever they are doing to make a big fuss over you. So here are some of my favorite walks that never fail….

First, the high-stepping walk. Lift those paws way, way up!

If that doesn’t get you enough attention, there’s the fancy walk where your front end and your back end go different directions. The crossed paws are an advanced move, so kittens shouldn’t this at home yet.

Just be sure not to walk in a circle, because that just makes humans laugh, and we know this isn’t a comedy routine.

If all else fails, there’s the “Oh my Cod, did someone say chicken?” walk. You do this one directly into the kitchen and hope that they give you a treat for being so clever.
