Oh, my...

I really don't have the mamma trained, do I, if I can't get her to post more often.

My tummy is feeling better and that makes us both happy. 

I have heard that today is Boxing Day in some places.  Isn't that a great idea...to celebrate boxes?  Such wonderful creations!  The mamma is trying to tell me it is something different, but that is my story and I'm sticking to it!

Our home has been topsy turvy since the mamma got stuff out of storage earlier this year, but she is supposed to have some help with that starting next week.  We are both looking forward to it.  I'll have enough room for roomies again!  No tight corners!

There are many holidays people celebrate this time of year and we hope everyone has a Happy one.

Long time

...since I've been here and I send apologies.  The mamma just has not been cooperative about some things.  But I'm here now..

The mamma seems to be over the worst of August. Things are kind of back to normal.

She had forgotten how much I like waffles, so was surprised when I gobbled some bits up when she made them.  Then, she ordered Chinese food. I love chicken egg foo young.  There was a surprise, too, cuz the restaurant goofed and sent shrimp fried rice.  We don't usually have shrimp since we are Jewish.  So I made sure I got as much as I could.

The mamma has started giving me a little wet food right before her shower.  It's tasty, but interferes with a big responsibility.  I am supposed to guard her from drain devils that might come thru the pipes and get her.  How can I do that when she feeds me right before that?  Why do humans like to play in that rain they turn on and off anyway?

We have a bit of a kerfluffle going on.  Sometimes I have a period of my sensitive stomach acting up.  The last time, mama gave me lots of treats cuz I seemed to keep them down the best.  She also changed my crunchies and that helped.  But now she thinks I don't eat enough crunchies and I eat too many treats.  She is threatening to cut off my supply!  She has gotten stingy, altho she says I am getting as many as I used to get.  She calls it the case of the irresistible force against the immovable object.  Hmmm...

Special

There are several things the Mamma finds special about me:

I give the most gentle headbonks she has ever seen....she says it is more like I rest my head rather than butt it.

She thinks I am  cute when she throws treats and I swat at them or try to catch them between her paws.  She says I look like I am playing baseball.

At night, when the light hits my fur,  I look like I have a silver halo.

Better

The mamma is feeling better, so I feel better.  She has had lots of sad stuff happen in August and it gets tomnher sometimes.  She assured me it is nothing I have done.  That wss good to hear.  And you know, when the mamma feels better, I feel better!

It's very quiet around here and that is just fine!  MTYL!

Bad sads

I have been a handful lately.  Why?  Because I have been trying to distract the mama from bad sads.  I mean, her eyes almost never leak, but I thought they were going to several times yesterday.

Human Augusts are very hard for her cuz she has had some   bad things happen in Augusts.  Including losing both Quartermaster Scruffy and the Princess.  Ringo tries to explain how devastated everyone was when the Princess, in particular, left the way she did.  The mama's life changed alot in the 5 years since then and some have not been happy changes.

But I have learned the mama will feel better shortly after the worst day....yesterday....and everything will go back to normal.

Respect

Sometimes the mamma has no respect!  I wonder what she would do if I showed pictures of her bathing on the innerwebs!

Excites for the mamma!

The mamma likes to take pictures, but can't get out very often to take them anymore.  She likes to play with them and make them look like paintings or drawings.

A non profit that provides education on one of the places she used to go just shared her picture of a bird on their instagram account.  This means statwide,, maybe national exposure for her.

I didn't tell you all the news...

So, recently, I was playing with the mamma, who says is I can be a lazy huntress.  I showed her!  When she swung the yarn, I made a *big* jump and pounced it.  She had never seen me do that before.

And then the mamma surprised me!  She started making this funny sound....kind of like talking but different.  Later she told me it was called singing.  She had never done that before.

And I supervised a delivery again just a few minutes ago.

Been a while!

I haven't posted anything in quite a while although I have been checking out everyone else's news everyday.  In some ways it seems like not much has happened.

The mamna went to her doctor recently and they changed her feel-goods.  These are little things she *voluntarily* swallows each day that she says help her feel better.  But sometimes a change in those or the weather make her sleep more than normal.  We've had both recently.  She's slept almost as much as me!  MOL!

We had Chinese food last week and I really liked it.  It had chicken and eggs and the sauce was good, too.  She just ordered a pizza a few minutes ago.  I like cheese!  The mamma says there is a surprise for me on it.  (Mamma here...pepperoni).

People have come by to help keep the house clean and to see how she is doing.  She had groceries delivered recently.  I came out from under the table and watched while the delivery woman made 2 trips in with our stuff.  I didn't run even when she spoke to me.  The mamma was good surprised and proud of me.

Well,actually, that does sound like alot!

MAYL.  (Meow at you later.)

Another pic of me!

We will try to blog hop again, altho I don't think the mamma did it completely right last time.....

Good morning!

So, I ate all the wet, some of  my dry, had treats and scrambled eggs.  The mamma has not seen me eat so much at one time!  I think it made both of us feel good.

We also have sunpuddles.

The mamma is *finally* realizing that when I say something, I am trying to converse.  She has finally started answering me!

I have what?

The mamma told me I have Grink ears and toebeans.  I never heard that before, so I asked her what she meant.  She said the insides of my ears and my toebeans are a combination of gray + pink = grink.     Hmmm.  I asked how she could just make up a new color and she said humans do that sometimes and told me about greige and mauve.   I don't know, humans are pretty strange sometimes!

Another fanciful effort...

LILAC Dreaming Deedle

The mamma tries to be fancy....

Wow!

So many kitties, humans, and even a doggie have come to visit me due to Miss Katie Isabella's kind words.  I want to thank her for that and thank everyone who came by.  The mamma and I have tried to visit everybody and follow them so we could get to know them better, but, you know humans!  Oh well, I think she did her best and that she will keep trying.

It has been quiet here mostly as the mamma has been feeling a bit under the weather.  But she is trying to work on unpacking a bunch of boxes she used to 'have in storage'.  I will be glad when she is done, cuz they kind of cramp my style. 

Other than that, not much is happening.   The helper mom has hid one of my favorite toys, but mamma got it for me today when she found it.  That's good.

Thank you!

To Katie Isabella for introducing me on her blog!  We have already had three more visitors and gone to see them, too.  Miss Cecelia, we couldn't figure out how to comment on your blog, so, thank you for the visit. 

Not much has been going on here the last few days.  Yesterday, the mamma did spill a whole, big, full glass of chocolate milk  on her beautiful rug and that caused a little excitement getting it cleaned up.  Yup, that's how quiet it's been around here.

Mamma might be in trouble soon.  She gas been muttering to herself about forgetting treats.  Can't imagine how she could.....

On the plus side, we had scrambled eggs this morning, which I like.  And there were sunpuddles.

Talk to you later!

Yes, Miss Katie

I briefly saw your comment, Katie Isabella, before the mamma disappeared it.  She says it was an accident.  Oh well, at least I did see it.  But, yes, I have been thinking about what you said.  I have also let the mamma's visitors get glimpses of me and nothing awful has happened yet, so I thought I would see what happened.  I got ignored, just what I wanted.

Brave?

The mamma had a pizza delivered yesterday.  I love pizza!  I was so excited that I accompanied mamma to the door to accept the delivery.  The delivery human could see me!  I've never done that before.

Already....

Hot dogs for breakfast, sunpuddles and 2 playsessions in one day!

Best bedtimes

I finally have been able to teach the mamma the best bedtime ritual.

First she goes to bed.  She sleeps on her right side and her right hand is tucked under the pillow.  Then I come to bed and get on her right side.

Most of the time, she would reach out with her top (left) hand to pet me.  That's ok, but I really don't like being petted 'overhand'.  Sometimes I would get anxious and have to bestow a bitey.

However, now she will stretch out her right arm along the bed. I sit next to her and she bends her arm.  She starts to five me *underhand* pets.

So I then semi-bloop against her arm.

If she continues to skritch well, I then bloop all the way.  I stretch out perpendicular to her.  She stretches her arm out and can still reach my head for pets.

During this whole time, I move my head so I get pets exactly where I want.  When I am finished, I droop my head over the side of the bed and we both drift off to sleep.

The amount of time this takes depends on how scary SAS Ringo's stories have been.

Pix of *ME*....what else?

Mamma got another, better picture of me covering my eyes:

Here is a picture of furs resting on my tail after a bath....yes, I pull them out sometimes...

I had decorated the rug beautifully in re ent weeks and thought the mamma had finally agreed they should stay.....until yesterday when she got the kittie-eater out and sucked them all up!  What is a kittie to do?

The Audacity!

The momma thinks that just because I bathed my armpits in front of her, she can scratch me there!  I gently warned her off and I hope she got the message.  I would hate to have to give her a real bitey.

One Fine Saturday

It has been a good day today.  First, we had major sunpuddles to bask in....which I did as long as possible.  The mamma chuckled when I bathed my armpits and played catch the foot while basking as I normally wouldn't do that in front of her.

Then she gave me some nip!

Then we had *real* bacon that she bought yesterday!

Will wonders ever cease?

The mamma is who?!?

I must admit that I did not realize who the mamma was right away.  I mean, what were the odds that I would be adopted by Princess Treasure's prime minister.  But it is true.  She and Ringo tell me stories of their adventures and I peruse the archives.

When I first realized this, I wondered if the mamma would miss affairs of state, but she doesn't seem to.  Instead, she fills her days with quiet pursuits and appears satisfied.  That is good, cuz I was looking for the same thing.  Isn't it good we found each other when we did?

Upset

The mamma' s chair broke 2 weeks ago, which has upset all my routines for getting treats and pets.  She says she plans to get another one, but I don't think she has done anything about it.  She says I don't understand the whole situation, but really, how hard can it be?

The mamma made me my own little hamburger tonight.  Then she got her shower while I was eating the hamburger.  I am ashamed to admit I chose the hamburger over guarding her.....

The mamma pulled a fast one on  me this morning.  She said she was cooking bacon.  I waited, I was so excited cuz she has never cooked bacon.  I thought something seemed odd.  Would you believe she had gotten 'turkey bacon?  Kitties, I turned my nose up.  This was not satisfactory.  Don't be fooled!  Only accept the real thing!

The mamma says I look so cute when I cover my eyes while napping.  Whatever.

Treats

Now that the mamma is not busy with affairs of state, we lead a pretty quiet life.  It makes the little things even more special.  Like banana pudding.   She made it yesterday and it is so good, I lick my chops!

Introductions

My name is Deedle; my mamma calls me Deedlebug.  Disgusting, I know.  Mamma used to be the Prime Minister in the Realm of Capitol Drive, serving HRH Princess Treasure for many years.  She is now retired.

Mamma and I met 4 years ago.  At first I didn't realize who she was.  I was locked up in a little closet at a place called a 'humane' society.  She joined me in the closet and we chatted a little bit.  I saw a tired, sad lady, kind of like me.  She said she didn't know how close we could be, but she knew she could offer me the quiet home I needed.  At that time, that was good enough for me.

Now, I am an introverted little kitty and it took me a long time to get used to my new home.  As if it was hard enough to make this change, the mamma then 'became disabled' and no longer needs to work.  So she is home most days and inhibits my rule of the roost quite a bit.  However, she is quite tolerable and has kept her promise to have only the one kitty, ME!

Looking forward to meeting all of  you.
