THANKFUL THURSDAY


I like to tell secrets, so don't ever tell me yours, as it won't be a secret for long.  Meow.  When I first came to live here, I thought I'd been adopted by a crazy lady [well, that's still true].  Weekly, from some hidden place, she would get out Mr Dyson and Miss Swiffer Duster to perform the OCD thing.  OCD is the obnoxious cleaning disturbance of my otherwise peaceful home.  While performing this, she also has a compulsive need to move things from one place to another, from here to there.  Friends, this created a great deal of stress, anxiety and dismay for this little cat: my fave scratcher, once in front of the TV, now by the window.  Sigh.  My toy box, by the chair.  Not there!  Thank Cod, the springs are still on the window ledge.  And, ohmycat, the litter loo has NOT moved.  

But here's the thing, I am a cat who likes challenges.

And guess what?  As time has passed, although I still do not enjoy the weekly noise and disturbance of Mr D and Miss SD, I have come to look forward to the challenge of the hunt, the search, the game of hide-and-seek.  It becomes a whole new life and what fun it is.  Something I hadn't noticed before is all new!  I did like sitting in this basket before, but now it is in a place with a better view and I love it more!  And something I hadn't bothered to investigate previously, now I will do so.  Excitement awaits at every turn.  And so I guess I am thankful for my crazy lady mommy who makes my days interesting and challenging and never boring. 
 
But, please don't move my foodz bowl, meow.

  1. Yes June. I know your Mommy likes to move things around because she told me. The upside of this is that it keeps your mind busy trying to figure out where everything has gone. It's like a new game every week! Your Mom is crazy like a fox.

  3. Yup, our humans do some crazy things. Good thing is they are mostly predictable and we can figure them out ;)
    Enjoy the hunt June!
    Purrs, Julie

  4. We are not fans of that Dyson machine either, but Mom runs it at least once a week around here too. She picks up everything but then she puts it all back. Humans are odd.

  5. Living with moms who like housecleaning and rearranging is challenging, Juney. Luckily we have carpets so moving heavy furniture is a no-no. Thank goodness your kitty sandbox hasn't moved!

  7. Getting used to change is a good thing; that's what companies are always trying to do, June.
    The world keeps evoloving, sometimes at the drop of a hat!

  8. We don't mind the noise of that sucking monster, but it is inconvenient when we have to get out of its way.

  16. You will never be bored at your den , June...how could thagt happen with um...well...OK, with 'that Crazy Cat Lady' who is your Mom without furs! ( Our two angels, Simba and Toki actually loved the vacuum cleaner and would wait at the spot where they knew *she* would end and then they got vacuumed too...we think they thought it was sort of like a massage!)

  17. Chester's not too fond of the noisy shopvac Dad uses to clean the floor. Maybe if he'd quit tracking in mud and grass clippings we wouldn't have to vacuum so much???

  18. Our Miss Morgan taught us not to fear the Vac. She would bark at it and attack it and it never won, so we learned to just ignore it.
