Little Styx

Styx: If you have read my story so far, you know that around Thanksgiving, some anonymous bad people (ABP) dropped me off at a dairy farm. I did get some sympathy because I was so small and had just had kittens. But if I was going to stay on the farm, I was going to have to become a farm cat, and it was obvious that I'd enjoyed being a house cat, probably until I had kittens and the ABPs decided I wasn't "cute" anymore.

Here's a picture of me from Thanksgiving:

I am small now, only 7 pounds and very trim, but as you can see, I still had a bit of that kitten-shape to my head back in November.

It was a cold November, and I was quite happy and warm sitting on Kokomo the dog's little house. He was featured on this blog before back in 2008, when he was quite young himself. "Young and bad," Ms. C tells me. I don't see why he is so bad, we got along just fine.

I am much happier in my new home where I get all of the personalized attention I need and I never have to go out in the cold. In fact, I never want to go outside at all, not even to look for boy-cats. Everyone else here is really looking forward to next Tuesday when I go to get "fixed." It must be something really good, like being knighted by the Queen or having a tuna fish party. Right?!

New Year's Eve

Abby: We are here to report about our doings over the past few days -- Ms. C and Mr. R left us alone to go visit Mr. R's mom! Indignant as we tried to be, how can we argue with anyone visiting their mom? We just can't.

Anyway, Ms. C says while she was there, she met Mr. R's mom's D-O-G, and (here is the part we cannot understand) it took a disliking to her. This part-chihuahua/part-terrier named Kokomo does not like much of anyone except Mr. R's mom! In fact, it disliked Ms. C so much that it launched itself at her right calf four different times and BIT her! So we are sad to report that yes, there are some mean dogs in the world, because we think anyone is mean who does not love our mom.

Stygia: Now while the rest of you are relaxing happily in anticipation of the new year, we are celebrating it in our usual playful fashion:

I try to defend with the stop, drop, and kick technique, but I forgot that it rarely stops Abby from trying to get a bite in on my foot anyway:

She is not a very fair cat! My previous owners declawed me, and look what she does?! However, we are sisters, and it is more of a "menacing" technique. She never hurts me.

Happy New Year to everyone!!

PS. When we updated our template, we somehow deleted our widgets including our favorite blogs lists! Ms. C is so silly to do that. She is working to find all of our favorites as soon as she can.
