Let the holiday eating begin

I visited my Greensburg people at Thanksgiving. The first night I was there I leaped on to the stove and licked out the pan that had butter and scallops. The nice lady said to my person, "Look at your cat!" My person took a picture. The next day I jumped from the table onto the counter. It was a mighty jump. I was licking the raw turkey when the not-so-nice lady made me get down. I got a lot of turkey in my bowl later though.

Higher and higher

My person is almost done with her projects. I took advantage of the ladder and the empty shelves. I could see a lot.

Sharing, not even caring

The little dog and I spend our evenings on the couch. Usually my person is in the middle of us. But sometimes she's not.

Handycat

My people got the ladder out for some projects. I love the ladder. First I climbed around on all the furniture near it. Then my person held the ladder while went all the way to the top.

Decorating

My person decorated our dining room. The color scheme coordinates with my fur. The walls are caramely, like my fur. The trim and furniture are pure white, also like my fur. The rug ties it all together. I lounge under the chairs, on the rug. I like the new room.

More farm favorites

Everyone knows how I feel about corn. I also like strawberries, pumpkins, and tomatoes. I never knew about apples. Until now.

Plenty of room

My person was making the bed. As usual, I was digging and scratching the smooth sheets and chasing my tail on top of the covers. Then my other person put this box on the bed, right in the middle. I spent the rest of the evening in it, on top of the sheets. I even slept in the box the whole night, right beside my person. She said, "Milo, you and that box somehow took up almost the entire bed!" The next night I had to sleep on the pillow, like always.

What I Want, Where I Want

I like to do things my way. My person hasn't been able to find my poop lately. She thought it was somewhere in the basement, but even though she kept looking she couldn't see it. Today she did. She said "Milo! You pooped on all the sporting equipment! And even inside some of it!" It took her quite a while to clean it. She did not take a photo of all my poop though. Maybe next time.

Outdoor Living

As much as I like my tent, it doesn't let me get up close and personal with nature.

 

One night, after my al fresco dinner, I campaigned mightily by howling and scratching my tent until my people let me walk around on the deck. 

 

My main goal was to eat grass. I love eating arching, tendril-y plants. My person kept making me stop. I got a few good chomps in though.

 Afterwards I didn't feel so good.

I can't wait to go outside again.

Long and in charge

It's been pretty hot so I've been stretched out for maximum cooling effect, all while avoiding the air conditioner, of course.

Here's an action shot of me bathing, also while being long.

The Great Outdoors

My people bought me my own tent so that I can go outside with them. They weren't sure if I would like it. I do. I like to look at the wildlife and bask on my cushion. Sometimes they make me come inside before I am ready. The little dog does not have his own tent.

Hierarchy

I was napping this afternoon in my person's office chair, while my person worked. The little dog was resting underneath the chair. Everyone was where they should be.

Stop and chew the roses

My people got this bouquet. I like it. I chewed on a couple leaves. I will chew it even more when the leaves are dry and crinkly.

What's the Magic Word

Today I was sitting in one of my favorite spots: near the radiator. The little dog wanted to walk near me. I gave him my special look. He laid down on the kitchen floor and was worried. After a while I let him go by.

Co-worker

I am helping my person with her work today by sitting on her lap while she is reading. She reads in between my ears and around my head. I am also touching all her papers.

Where's that groundhog?

I don't like winter. I spend most of my days wedged under the radiator or curled up on a plush rug. Today I even put part of a blanket on myself. I can't have my annual three-month long Spring Frenzy when I am cold. I just swat at the little dog and then warm up again.

No need for Santa

My favorite part of the holidays is turkey. Just like at Thanksgiving, I ate a lot of it at Christmas. At first my people were taking too long to get it ready, and I was all mad.

The little dog and I watched all the preparations. I had a better view.

Then we got turkey in our bowls. And I also ate some right out of the pan. My person did not approve of that. Now that it's January, we just eat chicken.
