Visits

Skeeter: Well, he left it on for us deliberately this time (as he usually does), so we get to say more stuff...

The Big Thing's parent beans were here for a pawful of lights. We were really nervous and hidey at first, cause we aren't used to other Big Things around, especially not for whole lights and darks. We stayed unner the bed at first an only snuck out for some food when things seemed quiet. But even then one of them would come into the kitchen an scare us away. The just sound and move "differnt" an we weren't sure if they were gonna accidently step on us or something.

The Big Thing told us that they were the beans that The Winter Kitty lived with forever, and knew how to be careful around kitties, so LC decided to go watch them a while. She sat inna safe corner an checked them out. When she decided they were OK, she came back and let me know. She said to watch out for the rolly thing the Mom parent used, though, cause it looked like it could catch a tail.

So she went back out with them while I thought about it. She rubbed their legs an sniffed their feet and finally let them scratch her. She said they seemed to know about scratchin kitties right, an the Dad bean let her outside when she wanted, so they were OK.

I finally went out to check them the second light they were here. LC was right, they were kinna careful around me. I hadda come out anyway cause I could smell good food. They even gave me little bits of the chickie they were eatin an that was nice of them. I even got a piece of cheese!

We still hadda be careful for ourselfs though. The Big Thing says it has been a few years since The Winter Kitty went over the Bridge (an we were sorry to finally hear about that), an it shows. They dont remember to look behind them before they push a chair back to stand up, an they sometimes make sudden noises while we are eating. But we liked gettin some extra snackies and scratchin, so it was worth being alert.

I especially liked all the good food smells the several lights they were here. We got some of the chickie I mentioned, but there was pork another light, ham one light, and even some shrimpsies! I got an extra piece of shrimp cause I stood up an tapped their legs several times. I'll have to remember that!

Mom bean also talked to me a lot, an I liked that. She even told me all about her own Kitties-that-came-before, an I was surprised. There were Meezers an a Ginger an a couple of others. There was even a coupla kitties-that-came-before-our-Big-Thing (if you can believe that)! She even had kitties that she found all lost and alone an gave them Forever Homes!

So I was real nice to her after that. She even told me I was very handsome an that I was her favorite kitty in the cave. LC says to add that the Mom bean told HER the same thing (except she used the word "pretty" to her) and I shouldnt get all snooty about it. That's OK, I think the Mom bean really does like me best, I mean, I rubbed her legs and paw-tapped her a lot more than LC did.

But just when we were startin to get used to them being around the cave, they left. We were thinking they had moved in with us, but it seems they have other places to visit and are going to their own cave. I suppose that is good. It was interestin to have them around, but it was kinda active and noisey an I dint get as much quiet laptime with The Big Thing as I'm used to. So, I guess I'm lookin forward to more of that. An I wont be havin to watch out for moving chairs and sudden noises.

Ooh, We've Been Away!

The Big Thing's parents have been visitin all week, an he wasn't on the computer at all the whole time until just now, so we couldn't get on an post. But he turned it on to check emails and stuff and we just got on when he left.

We dont have much time though, cause he is gonna go to bed an turn it off real soon. We have had lotsa interesting experiences, bits of shrimps and ham, and sniffin and rubbin nice strange beins!

More details tomorrow, when The Big Thing leaves the computer on unattended longer...

Gotta run, he's returning...
