Mom and I spent all of Thanksgiving break at LaLa's house. LaLa is mom's mom! I
love to play at LaLa's house! It is really big compared to mom's room at the apartment, so I can run around and explore a lot more! I jump from the couch to the chair and romp around as long as I can until mom puts me back into the bathroom for being too hyper! I particularly like to dig my claws into LaLa's blue chairs in the front room! She isn't very happy with me about that, but it is so satisfying! ::little purr of glee:: Mom took a picture of me in one of the blue chairs yesterday. This chair happens to be LaLa's favourite reading chair. I like it too!
Mom is trying to teach me to stay off LaLa's dinning room table. I used to be able to lounge up there and see
everything, but mom has started squirting me with a water bottle. I don't like that one little bit! So now I have to be sure to be very sneaky about hopping up there.
Over Thanksgiving break, mom's little cousin Mikayla (Mika) came over to play! She is 10 years old and I like her. She and mom decided to make me a fort out of boxes! They worked on it for a couple hours and created a really fun place for me to play! It is made out of 3 boxes, and has 3 entrances and a hanging bell ball for me to play with. Oh, and it has a drawbridge door that Mika thought up! Mika drew and wrote things all over the fort. She called it "Abelard's Club and Cafe" and wrote cool things like "goth cats wanted" and "cats rule"! I love my fort! Mom says she will make it even bigger for me later!
Well, rainy days make me extra hyper, so I must go play now!
Meow and nosey-nosey!
Abey
The Friday morning before Thanksgiving, I decided I was going to begin to jump on the taller pieces of furniture in mom's room. I attempted the dresser and made it! I was so excited to explore all of mom's stuff up there-- jewelry, make up, and some sort of plant! Us cats have a natural desire to eat greens and so I began to chomp on mom's "Lucky Bamboo" (dracaena plant). I liked it! But mom got upset! She spent some time looking up information on her laptop and began to get very worried. "Abey," she said. "You ate a toxic plant!" Very quickly she called the vet and decided she had to take me in to the cat hospital. So we headed to the vet. He was a strange man and poked on me and then shut me in a cage for a long time. The hospital people put something sharp in my leg. It hurt! I didn't see mom again until it was dark. After she picked me up, mom explained that the vet had told her he would watch me all day and make sure I was okay. Apparently the sharp thing that hurt me was an IV for fluids to make sure I wouldn't get dehydrated if I got sick from the plant!
