Little Cat Feet

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Getting Ready to Go

Mom & Dad are getting ready to abandon us early Friday morning for the July 4th holiday.
They will be gone until Tuesday.
Mom mowed the yard and dad washed the car yesterday.
Today the bags come out of the closet and clothes go into them.
That's when we really start to know they are serious about taking off without us.
The high school neighbor girl was going to come take care of us & the guinea pigs, but her mom decided to go out of town with her, so her dad will be coming instead.
He's nice & all, but he is a woofie man. They have two big woofies (and two cats) and he smells just like the woofies because they worship him, jumping & getting doggie stink on him. PeeYoo!
But he doesn't mind sticking his hands into the guinea pigs cages and changing the poopy wet pine shavings, so mom considers him a good catch for the week.
Now to train the poor sap..... err......nice man.....into giving us vast amounts stinky goodness & Temptations!!!!

He sounds like a nice man, even if he does smell of woofy. I hope you don't miss your Mom and Dad too much while they are gone.

We hope your parents have a nice trip. Don't be too hard on the woofie man - after all, he did agree to come and feed you and the guineas.

That stinks that they are abandoning you but we think you will be able to get the man to give you lots of extra treats - men usually do that more than moms even.

And we do hope your mom and dad have a good trip - maybe they will even bring you a present when they come back!

We agree with the House of Cats...Guy Beans usually are pushovers for some extra goodies.

It's OK to shamelessly beg; really, how often are you gonna see this person? He'll forget about it in no time.

We wish you the best. It is scary to have strangers around...
