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!

    We had a guest last night! At least for a few minutes. But it was SO annoying – Binga was trying to hog her… and she came to see ME! My human had to lock up Binga so I could visit.

    Newton you are like The Kid Sage…she meets and greets and inspects their room and all the stuff when they turn their back….me…I stay in my bed in the living room and watch them like a hawk watching a mouse to make sure they don’t get too close. (Ps MomL says that closet where Pierre hides is very organized…all the same colors are grouped together, right? LOL)

    Poor Pierre and Ashton having to seek refuge in the closet. You’re lucky to be so brave and welcoming to your house guest.

    Way to take advantage of the situation Newton. You better not meow too loudly about the extra noms from the table or your fursibs may decide to come out of their hiding places. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
