Free at last - free at last

Well, the other day I had a wonderful experience.

When 'D&D' arrived home from work, they open the back door to the kitchen. Actually it's two doors. The steel outside door, and an inner screen/glass door. Now the inner door shuts very, very slowly.

The other day, I decided to find out exactly what is on the other side of the doors. So - I slipped through as the screen/glass door was slowly closing.

Wow! It was so spacious outside. I could feel wind!!!! I could feel the sun on my pretty fur!!!!
I could feel the warm deck wood beneath my paws!!!! I could feel ....... 'D''s big hand grab my furry body and pull me back inside!

Man - what a bummer!!!! I was so enjoying my 'freedom'.

Hmmmmm! Just wait. I'll get even for that! Hmmmm maybe I'll run around the house in the middle of the night, with my favorite chew toy in my mouth, and 'meow' until my voice becomes horse! (insert sly kitty grin here).

Sitting Pretty Part Two

Today was another wonderful spring like day. 'D&D' were off today, so they spent alot of time outside working on the yard and the flower beds. (I wonder why they are called beds? I see no pillows or covers there).

Of course I was not allow to go outside. Oh, but do I want to. Inside the house, I can only see as far as the walls, but outside, you can see forever! And that is where I want to go. So I lean against the door and peer through the window screen, looking at them.

And then, 'D' says to me .... "Oh Keldan Kitty! What are you doing? Are you enjoying looking outside? Now don't put your claws on the screen. Do you hear me???"

Does he really think I am going to answer him through the screen door? What a nut. Doesn't he realize if I speak through the screen door I will strain my voice?

That was a joke. Screen door ...... strain ..... get it?

Oh why do I waste my humor on you humans!

Spring in January

It was such a nice day today. 'D' opened the back door, and opened the glass window on the door to allow the wind inside the house.

Man, was I in heaven. All those smells! And the air was so clean and fresh. I hopped upon the counter to look outside - at the bare trees and the dirty ground. The air was telling me it was spring, but the actual look of the outside still screamed winter.

And the birds! There were chirping and singing and acting all idiotic! And they were making me feel - I don't know - frisky! I wanted to run and jump and roll around on the ground. I wanted to chase them, and scare them, and laugh at them when they flew away.

Then I noticed the bugs! Bugs! In January! In Winter! Where did they come from?????

Didn't they freeze when the temps were down low? Were they hiding? Do bugs digs holes in the dirt and await warm weather?

I didn't care. I had spring fever - and I wanted to be able to sit on that counter and enjoy the breezes forever.

I know I will sleep well tonight. And I'll dream .... dream .... dream.

And yes! We do dream about chasing butterflies in a meadow. Just wanted to put that myth to rest.
