Chloe's Universe

What Is Next?

2008-11-06T20:47:00.002-07:00

Mom says she's going to throw some stuff away. I don't like that idea. How can I hide and attack her when she walks by my chair if there isn't anything to hide behind??!

The Conomies

2008-09-18T22:34:00.004-06:00

Mom talks about the conomies. I know that conomies is bad but what are they? Bad things can't be stuff like 'nip toys and stinky goodnesses. If they're bad, they are probably some kind of weird dog toy. That's what I think conomies are.

I forgotted again

Well, it has been one long, hot summer. And with it being 'monsoon season' lately, it is hot with a gazillion per cent humidity. That said, we're getting a decent amount of rain here in Albaturkey! Rain = good; Humidity = annoying. So there. I don't got new pictures lately (Mom's fault, of course -- I can't work the camera myself). I has a new trick that Mom loves. I sits up on my back foots and stretches up to touch Mom's finger with my nose while still sitting. She has been calling me "Kit-monk." I don't know why -- I don't have no kit and I is not a monk! I is a GIRL and girls aren't monks! Silly Mom. If she gets a pitchure, I'll post it. She hasn't managed yet .... heh heh heh.

I hope you all is having good summers!!

Name Meme from William's site

2008-05-12T22:25:00.004-06:00

Meme from William of Mass Destruction:

In case you aren't familiar with The Naming of Cats, in the Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, by T.S. Eliot, we all have three names! So, in this meme, you must link to the originator of the meme (Tara and Kavan), list the following rules, and then tell us:

1. The name that the family uses daily (such as Peter, Agustus, Alonzo, or James)

2. The name that is particular, a name that's peculiar, and more dignified (such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat)

3. What you are doing when you are thinking of the name that only you know, and will never confess (when engaged in rapt contemplation), that deep and inscrutable singular name

1. Chloe

2. Bubbas (Uncle D used to call me this when I was tiny before he brought me to live with Mom)

3. Holding my mom down so I can sleep on her

That was way fun! William always has the bestest things on his blog!

Same old stuff here -- waiting for dinner, sleeping on Mom, hiding when someone knocks on the door (always best to hide from peoples coming from outside), etc. It is nice and warmbly outside so I can sit in the window sills without my toesies getting cold. I watch Mom when she leaves and when she gets back from wherever it is she goes when she isn't here. She went to Aunt D's house on Sunday for a birthday party and to Grandma's yesterday for Moms' Day. That means I gots to do some surfing and looking at cat blogs (finally - she kinda hogs the computer sometimes lately).

And here's a new and beautimous picture of me!

I'm bored

2008-04-23T23:17:00.002-06:00

I'm bored. I lost all my new moosies and Mom isn't home so I can't bite her. She's helping Grandma with her computer. Grandma should have asked me. I'm much better at messin' with computers than Mom is. I don't like our printer, though. It goes real fast and spits papers out at us!

I think William's sister is right about getting extra stuff for forgotten birthdays! I hope she and Russell Bustle get some good stuff. I hope William does, too! I was lucky - Mom got me 3 new moosies for my firstest birthday last year. Since I will be two, I had better get 6 new moosies!! Mom said to me the other day, "Chloe, will you please stop killing your moosies? The cotton stuffing is making a mess!" I told her that it isn't stuffing; its guts and they're supposed to be messy. So there, Mom!

Happy 'Nip Day!

2008-02-14T00:25:00.002-07:00

Well, any day with 'nip is a happy day! We have been busy. Mom has moved the furnitures a lot. I ask her how do I know where to hide when that scary Oops! man comes here with packages when she moves the furnitures around??

Things is quiet here (except for the upstairs people who use power tools in the middle of the night).

I has been getting lots of exercise. I sneak up behind mom and pat her legs and run away so she doesn't know who did it. She's not supposed to know but she always does. I don't know how she knows its me - I'm very, very fast!!

Mom has a new computer so its lots easier for me to turn it on and use it while she's asleepin'. So I'll try to write more often...unless I forgets, of course!

Here's my baby picture from before I came to live with mom.

Trapped at Grandma's House

2008-02-01T20:57:00.000-07:00

Mom and I are staying at Grandma's house while we take care of her cats, chickens, and plants. I stay in our little room and watch TV while Mom does all the work. My job is to eat my stinky goodness. Mmmmmm - salmon - my favorite!! Grandma will be back on Monday so Mom and I will go home then. I may be only in one room, but I get to watch CABLE TV!! I've been watching the Sci-fi channel all day (not my choice but Mom says that there isn't a cat channel).

Mom is pretty annoyed about a major road here getting a sinky place under it. I don't drive so I don't care. I don't know what a sinky place is but it sounds weird. She says that lots of weird things go on here in Albuquerque and that the sinky place is just a little weirder than usual. She thinks that there's a brrrmooda triangle under the whole town.

Finally!

2008-01-14T16:10:00.000-07:00

Mom finally got a digicam (that's what she calls it) so she just might get around to photographing ME for my tremenjous blog! How cool is that?! I just visited William's blog so I'm going to respond to one of the posties:

1.. I didn't get bigger but I got fatter. Mom calls me her kittytank. That's not nice! I suppose it's better than calling me "Airbus" though.

2. I like to sleep on my mom. Anywhere on my mom. She says I cut the circulation off in her legs when I sleep on them at night. That's wrong. I think she does that herself!

3. I love to throw the sand after using the stink-box. I could win if we had some kitty olympics for sand-throwing.

4. My nails finally grew back all the way after the last cat fix-it place visit in November. Now I can do some REAL damage to the recliner and I'm happy-happy about that!

5. I like to talk to mom a lot but she says I sound like I never learned how to meow properly. What does she espect anyway -- I'm the only fur person here (thank goodness!!).

6. I is a good hider. When people come over, they only know I live here because they see my dishes and my stink-box.

7. My favorite stinky goodness is anything with salmon in it. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

So those are my answers. That was fun!

Not busy, just confused

2007-11-13T16:09:00.000-07:00

My mom lost my password for this tremenjous blog!! The ladygardenectomy is over and done with (finally). My mom says I have super powers because of a special jump I do. I stand on one side of her on the bed and jump and land on her other side. She watches me do it and it baffles her because she thinks I'm magic. It's magic because she can't see me getting ready to jump!! I have at last perfected the art of jumping with no apparent preparation!!! Us cats all probably know that one but it sure impresses the beans!! I love the look on her face when I do that!!!

I hope everyone is doing good. William got a brother! I'm glad that his mom didn't lose his password or I'd never know!

I am bigger now but not by much. I am still planning on being tiger-sized at least but mom says I'm done growing. That's what she thinks -- I'm just going to keep concentrating on growing in my mind.

I been busy...

2007-03-03T18:47:00.000-07:00

...sleeping, mostly. It has been cold in Albaturkey (perfect sleeping weather!). Hopefully there won't be any more snow or ice for mom to fall on and hurt herself again! She seems to be getting over it -- there hasn't been any talking about putting crickets in the landed-lady's office lately. Besides, why waste crickets on somebody who prolly won't eat them?

Wheeeee!

2007-01-20T19:01:00.000-07:00

Thanks pals for letting me know about the ladygarden-ectomy. I guess that there is worse things (like living outside like I used to). I been following Mom all over the apartment now. She doesn't know what to think about it. My favoritest thing this week is attacking her arm while she's asleep and not letting go even when she tries to move it.

Just Wondering...

2007-01-14T18:22:00.000-07:00

Mom says that I need to get spaded. What on earth is that? And why does she keep saying the letters V-E-T?? Something is going on. Just in case its something I doesn't like, I'm getting even ahead of time. I been attacking mom's arm while she's asleep. She tries to move her arm away but I like to stay attached. It's fun to bunny-kick her when she's asleep! That makes up for her petting my itty foots when she's awake.

Messed with Mom's Mind

2006-12-28T20:13:00.000-07:00

I am still laughing (quietly). When mom called me, I answered to my name today. She nearly falled off the chair! So I'm rearranging things again. The kitty who doesn't change her mind doesn't have one. I've even started following her to another room instead of hiding under the bed. I don't mind the bed -- I keep my toys under there. I play with them when mom is asleep. Wheeee! I is having some serious fun here!

Name change

2006-12-24T21:20:00.000-07:00

Mom finally gave up and now she calls me Boo-Boo. Why? Because I won't answer to anything else! I don't answer to Boo-Boo all that much either, to be honest. But I did not like being called Chloe so I just ignored her when she called me that. I am still a stealth cat but not quite as much as I used to be. Mom is great for taking long naps on. She keeps wanting to move around, though, which really cuts into my nap times!

Happy (insert the holiday of your choice here)!

Merry Christmas, fellow kitties!!!

Stealth Cat is getting tired of being stealthy

2006-12-09T23:02:00.000-07:00

I let mom hold me for a whole hour this week. Now she thinks she can hold me whenever she wants to! Humph! I do like to sleep by her but I like to run away when she tries to pet me. It is hard to get over being a feral kitty! I love mom and like her to pet me but I'm still nervous. I heard her tell grandma that these things take time and that we just have to be patient. I talk to her at night and she always answers so I do feel safe. Its just hard to calm down sometimes!

I gets brave

2006-11-26T19:55:00.000-07:00

My uncle fished me out from under mom's recliner. Mommy held me for a long time and petted and talked to me. I like her so much that I stayed on her lap even after she stopped holding me up near her face. I got such a nice mommy! She talked and talked to me and I nearly fell asleep on her. I hope she fishes me out of there again soon. She's nice!

Stealth Cat -- decloaked

2006-11-23T20:06:00.000-07:00

My uncle caught me and held me (he used to take care of me before he brought me to mom's house) and then he had mom hold me. She's nice! I've been working up to getting closer to her but I'm kinda shy. Mom held me and I purred for her. She let me get off her lap finally so I got into the entertainment center to watch her for a while. I did not go back under the recliner, though. I'm getting kind of tired of hiding out under there. Mom says I'm pretty and that my eyes are amber-colored (whatever that is) and not green like in my picture.

Stealth Report

2006-11-19T20:07:00.000-07:00

Well, mom is onto my hiding spot (under the recliner) but I is way too smart for her. She lifts it up, I run out, she puts it down, and I get back under it. Bwahahahaha! Sometimes I runs over and hides out in the entertainment center (love it -- lots of hiding spots) and laugh to myself while she talks and talks and talks to me. Truth is, I'm not as ascared of her as I used to be but I still won't let her get very close. Sometimes I talk to her at night and then run away when she answers. Gotta make sure she knows that I'm in charge here!

Stealth Kitty

2006-11-11T23:12:00.000-07:00

That's what mom calls me now -- the Stealth Kitty. I can't help it that this place is all carpeted and that my footies don't make any noise! I haven't let mom see me but she knows I'm here...I think. She must know -- she keeps my sandbox nice and clean and makes sure that there are lots of crunchies and water. I keep finding these little thingies with 'nip in them (I know it is called 'nip because you all told me so). I hear mom laughing when she sees that I've been moving them around. Someone has to decorate this place! Mom says she feels like she lives in a giant cubicle...whatever that is!

I'm suspicious

2006-10-29T21:01:00.000-07:00

This is an interesting place but I'm still suspicious. I let mom pet me a few days ago...briefly. She keeps feeding me and scooping my box, though. And I found these nifty thingies that smell good and I like to smack them around at night when mom is asleep. I heard mom say tell her mom that they have this "catnip" stuff in them. I hid one from mom but she found the other one. She's still trying to find out where I hide when she's home. I'll never tell.

This is me

2006-10-14T20:41:00.000-06:00

New in town...no, really!

2006-10-14T20:18:00.000-06:00

Mom's brother just brought me here to Albuquerque to live with her. I used to live outside in Phoenix and mom's brother fed me. The mean apartment people wouldn't let me move in with him so he brought me to mom's house, which is not the same but it looks promising. I'll have to get used to being inside all the time, but mom has lots of places for me to see outside so I guess I'll get used to it. She keeps the food and treats coming and I have my first ever sandbox! Mom is happy that I'm here even though I am keeping my distance for now.
