The daily adventures of a swingin' tom cat... or a lazy housecat, depending on who you ask.

Merry Christm-ass



Oh, by the way, here's your card- sorry The Woman was too "busy" to help me post it IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS...

love,
Charlie

It's About Darn Time, Woman...

Hooray! Look at me, I'm writing again! I'm so sick of The Woman's excuses: The Kid is teething and upset, I'm sleeping, Christmas is SOOO busy, I'm at work... Whatever! Just do my diary and this thingy, already. Yeesh. Get it through your head that I AM THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THIS HOUSE, as every Cat should be.

Anyway, stuff is pretty good. Santa Claws didn't bring me prosthetic claws OR Ginsu knives, but quite frankly, I was way too stoned to care. I got this excellent 'nip-filled fish on a string... LOVE the fishie. We also got some jingly balls that Gus likes to carry around in his mouth, and it looks SO funny. Oh, and some treats from Chris and Jenny, which was cool. I knew they loved me.

Things were pretty crazy over Christmas. I have heard that other cats have to put up with having strange people in their houses- at least I only had familiar ones coming over here. Still, I got shot with water guns a LOT just for trying to eat the Christmas tree (plastic needles= YUM!). The wrapping paper was fun, though.

Other than that, you haven't missed much while The Woman was "too busy" to type for me. Several random freak-outs (just to keep the People on their toes), fights with Gus that have left tufts of hair floating around, but it's all in good fun... you know, the usual.

Oh, but last night was SO SCARY. I have NO idea what was going on, but I heard these big "BANG!" noises outside that made my hair stand up and my ears go flat. I crept up on the back of the chair so I could peek out the window, and there were these lights all over the sky, like they were exploding out of nowhere. Man, was I FREAKED! I think I was frozen there watching them, until The Woman came over and got me. I thought the world was ending... she tried to comfort me, and she took me to bed. That was a little better, since I couldn't see the lights, but there were still a lot of scary noises outside! I decided not to get up in the bedroom window to look outside; I just sat straight up on the end of the bed until it was over, and then I fell asleep. Gus, of course, hardly noticed that there was anything going on. He's the laziest guy I have EVER met- who the heck is too lazy to be FRIGHTENED?!!

So that's all for now. Meowy Christmas to all, and a 'Nippy New Year.
