There's a tree in the living room

My people have a tree in the living room. For Christmas. I helped decorate it. And then I jumped in all the ornament boxes and chewed on some tissue paper.

Another new spot

I have a few favorite spots where I spend most of my days: my cushion by the heater, the fleece blanket on the bed, and my person's lap. When I want to add a little variety, I go in the bathroom. I jump up on the radiator and snuggle down behind my person's towel. It's warm on the radiator and damp from the towel, which I like a lot. Sometimes my person comes in and is all startled to see me. Then she offers me a drink from the sink.

Arthritic

My person took me to the vet Friday, which I hated. She told him about how sometimes my hip seems sensitive. One time I even tried to bite her when she petted me. The vet checked me over and now I have a new medicine to take. When we came home, my person made sure to set up a cushion for me near the heater. I've been here for two days straight, except for when I was in bed.

A Successful Hunt!

What a morning I am having! My person heard me galloping around early today and got up to see what I was doing. I was throwing a dead mouse high into the air! Flinging it across the room! Running after it at top speed so I could fling it again! I even flung it towards my person! My person wasn't as excited as me. She took my picture and then put the mouse in a plastic bag.

Cozy and plush

My person wants to stay home all day with me! Look how cozy I am on the new extra-fleecy blanket. She said the color reminds her of my fur: all caramely.

Go Steelers!

I'm ready for football this weekend! My Greensburg person made me this Steelers bandana and I like to wear it, along with my new red collar. My favorite football snack is a corn chip or two.

Cat on a Hot Summer Day

It's been hot here. I like heat and I like to find the hottest, sunniest spots to lay in. But I am at a lower ebb than usual. I have to stretch myself out for maximum air flow.
Also, when it's very hot, my person gives me an ice-pack rubdown. I like it. Sometimes our friend Callan gives me an ice-pack rubdown too.

Corn!

I love corn. I love it so much that my person opened tuna and husked some corn at the same time and I picked the corn. Here I am watching her and then eating some corn husk. I like how it squeaks in my teeth.

Uh-oh

I decided to stop using my litter box again. I like to poop on rugs. My person decided to roll up the dining room rug to "limit Milo's options." Then she took away the bathroom rug. So I had to use this small towel. My person said "MILO STOP THAT!!!!!!"

A new spot

Now that it's hot, I have to stay cool by contorting into unusual positions. Here's a new one. My person says I will hurt my elbows, but I say: notice how my belly can catch a breeze....

Strawberries!

I love strawberries that come in plastic containers. When my people buy them I rush to the shopping bag. My person gets them out for me or I do it myself. I rub my face all over the container and sometimes rake it. I act the same way I do with catnip. See?

Look how long I am!

It's been rainy here but when I find a patch of sun I stretch out as long as I can. My person always says "Milo! Look at how long you are!"

There were two cats fighting in my driveway this morning. Sometimes they individually come to my windows and I yell at them. Today they both came and they do not get along. I was all excited. My person said that there were clumps of cat fur in the driveway after she chased them away.

Spring Break!

I'm on my annual spring break with my Pennsylvania people. Here I am napping. I don't know why Abby is so nervous. What's the big deal?

Sporty!

I like sports and sports equipment. When my people get out balls, rackets, fishing poles, golf clubs, and golf balls, I thoroughly sniff them all. Then I play with the balls. One of my people started to play hackey sack with me recently; he tosses it around and I watch it and then rake it. Here I am with some equipment and my favorite hackey sack that looks like a soccer ball. Active!

Typical Friday Night

Here's me and my person on a Friday night. We do this pretty much every night in fact. Sometimes when I am sleeping she squeezes me and says "I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW RABBITY SOFT AND PLUSH YOU ARE, MILO!"

Professional Cuddler

It feels like spring here lately, and that means I'm in my annual Spring Frenzy. This means I am overstimulated, and I need attention all.the.time. I follow my person around and yell at her, and scratch her arm when she is in her chair. She picks me up and carries me around, which I like, especially when she wears fleece. This takes up a lot of her day, and she said I need a Professional Cuddler to cuddle me when she is busy. She also said I need a Professional Roughouser, for when I'm more rowdy and want to play string and hackey sack for hours and hours.

A New Game I Like

Everyone knows how I like to play string. And I like to jump at my post and cling on to it with my toes. Lately we've been playing a new game: String on My Post. My people wiggle my string around my post and I grab it and rake it. Sometimes I get it in my mouth and shake it. My people say I am very athletic.
