Another Sleepy Weekend

I have been spending as much time as I can out on the patio getting fresh air and sunshine. I am very happy to have an inside home now but I still like the fresh air. I am always afraid when my food source takes me out because my first one took me out and left me out. That is kind of how I found my present food source. I joined the Lee County Clowder but I was not really welcomed by the other cats so they found me this new home with no other kitties to worry about.

My food source has been giving me treats sometimes usually when I ask for something to eat and it is not dinner time. Right now he has something called "Greenies" and they are not too bad but at first he had "Temptations" and I loved them. I really hope that he gets some more of them. I don't even give him a chance to put them on the floor or in a dish I just eat them out of the palm of his hand.

I like the weekends because I know that I will not be alone for long even when the food source goes out, and when he comes back he brings lots of plastic bags that I love to lick. I know that he carries the bags in then takes stuff out of them and puts part of it in the big white box in the food room. I am not sure where he puts the rest but it always appears again later, so I know he puts it somewhere. I hope that he brings some more bags tomorrow so I can play with them.

Labor Day Already?

The food source was at here all day today instead of disappearing like most days. He said it was a holiday what ever that means. I like them because I get to spend more time outside. Well the food source calls it outside but I can't get to the green stuff or run around very far. It is nice because I get fresh air and I can smell lots of good things to hunt if I can just figure out how to get free of that force field.

The food source says that today is Labor Day but I can't see that he has done any working so I am not sure I believe him. He says that it is the last holiday of the summer and that it will be getting cold soon. I think he is trying to confuse me for some reason.

I see that Radcliff and Allie have been having toof trouble and I hope that they are both feeling better. Even though they were not happy they let me hang around long enough for my food source to move me in. the food source says that he is gonna call the lady to come clip my nails again but I am gonna try to get away when she shows up. It worked the last time when I fought but that was at the V*ts office. I let them know I had had enough that day. The only bad thing is I hurt my food source and not the ones in the white that were doing all the grabbing and stuff.

Weekends are good

I am feeling better and can jump on stuff easier and I guess it was a good thing to go see the Vet, but don't tell the food source I said that. I am still a bit tender on my back but things are getting better. I have been getting back into waking the food source up to get me breakfast when I think it is time, but he tries to tell me I am too early. I just keep it up until he finally gets up and takes care of my needs. A couple swats to the nose usually work well for this.

Some days he works on the computer and is not working on my blog or reading other cats blogs to me. I let him do that for a few minutes then I give him warning that time is up. If he still insists on playing around like that I go up and start to tickle the bottom of his feet, and keep getting more insistent up to biting his ankles. the food source is always barefoot in the house so that works really good. I don't even have to bite hard to really get his attention.

I have been sorry to hear about all the kitties being sick and crossing the bridge even though I don't really know any of them. I hope that every one that has been feeling bad gets better fast and that all the kittehs out there have a few lives left yet.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hobo here. I am in a really bad mood and I thought maybe telling you about it might help. Today the food source came home early from "work" and he picked me up and tried to be really loving and nice. I should have never fallen for it. The food source then tried to put my in a little prison cell. I fought him as hard as I could but he managed to force me in there and then he shut the door. Then I was carried out the door and put into some kind of a box and left alone for a minute. Then the food source magically appeared next to my cage. There were some noises and then the world outside started to move by. At first I thought it was a trick but I figured out that my box was moving. After a time the big box stopped and the food source got out, I thought that he had escaped and would soon rescue me but I was wrong.

He did come and get me but he took me into this funny building, where some other beans were doing all kinds of things. I was then let out of my cell but there was a strange bean there that grabbed me and poked and prodded me and did all kinds of unspeakable things to me. After poking me this bean tried to grab my paws and attack my toes. I finally was able to inflict enough damage on that bean and it stopped grabbing my paws.

The food source then put me in the cell again and then took me to the big box. It started moving again and next time it stopped I was taken inside a huge box and soon the food source managed to get the cell away from my captures. Once he set me free from the cell I found that I was in my home and soon the food source provided me with some good food.

The food source here. I see Hobo has been telling you about his adventure. He actually went to see his Doctor since he had not been jumping very much since Friday but had seemed better as the weekend went along. The Vet said that everything seemed ok and figured that maybe he had strained a muscle somehow. He got a shot and I will be watching him to make sure that he continues getting better.

Happy Birthday America

My food source and I want to wish all of you a Happy 4th of July. He says it is a really important day in the history of America, which we all celebrate with picnics and fireworks and parades in some places. Sounds like lots of fun!

The food source brought home a bunch of food or at least he says it is but I can't smell any there. I did make sure that he stacked it correctly according to my plans. It took a little while to get his attention but eventually he did it ok, not perfect yet but getting better.

I am going to keep this short since it is almost nap time. meow!

Notes From Hobo

The food source brought home a new play thing for me. It is a shiny thing on a short chain that I can swat and it moves but it comes back because of the chain. The food source calls it a "laser" but I don't understand what that is. Sometimes he points the end of the "laser" at the floor or the wall but I am more interested in swatting it.

I have been going outside but only on something called a patio. This "patio" has a wall around it with no holes but it has a shelf on top of it. I can sit on the shelf and look at the real outside but I can't get there. The wall has some kind of force field to stop me. It looks like it would be a big jump but I think I can make it, but that darned force field is stopping me, for now anyway.

The food source asked me to have a little space and he has been kind of nice so I will give him few lines:

Hobo's food source here, I am not sure how many people here are racing fans, specifically NHRA Drag Racing, but yesterday afternoon Scott Kalitta was killed when his Funny Car exploded during a qualifying run. The explosion happened just before the finish line where the car would have been running in excess of 300 miles per hour. I hope that everyone will sends some purrs to his family and friends.

Hobo again. I don't know anything about that racing stuff but the food source really likes it, all kinds of it. I let him watch as long as he takes care of my needs and wants while he watches too.

Finally the weekend

It is finally Saturday here and the food source has the day off. He is watching some TV now, NASCAR I think, but he enjoys it. I let him watch as long as he does not forget about my needs. If he gets too involved with what is on the TV I just go over and tickle his feet, that gets his attention right away.

The flooding that you hear about on the news is not far away from here but where I am will be dry or we will all need a BIG boat. There are a lot of kitties that are not so lucky and they need our purrs big time.

I am still trying to think about things to say here but I am really happy to see that lots of kitties have come to my blog and left comments.

I also want to wish all the beans out there a Happy Father's Day. I will probably try to take it easy on the commands for the food source on Sunday as long as he takes care of my right that is.
He does ok most times but there are times when I really need to get his attention and I have to get ruff to do it.

If any one has any training hints both he and I are a little new at this. I have never had the chance to try to train a rookie food source like this one. I know he talks to the clowder's food source sometimes so maybe he is getting tips there.

I will try to post more pictures as I go along and my bean gets them loaded on the computer for me.

Hobo Here

I used to be homeless and I started to hang out at my food source's brother's house but there were too many other cats already there. They let that food source know that I was not really all that wwelcome there. Arrangements were made to allow me to live with the food source's brother, so I stayed with the Lee County Clowder for a while until proper arrangements for my transportation to my new home. Once I arrived at my new home I started to take over immediately since I could see that much needed to be done to make it a good place for a kitty to stay.

The food source has made lots of improvements under my direction but we still have a ways to go. I have a place to look out the window and a really nice climbing tree to sit on when I can't go out on the patio. I also have several scratching posts that I use sometimes, when I am not trying to get the food source to pay better attention to me. I will try to keep up posting here most weekends when the food source is free and I can get him to help with the typing until I learn how to work the computer better.

Hello World

Hobo's food source here, this is my first try at blogging and both Hobo and I have a lot to learn about it. We are both pretty fast learners so I am sure that things will look better in a little time.

A little note on how Hobo and I got together. My brother is food source for a small group of cats and Hobo was hanging out around their house. He seemed like a friendly guy and I agreed to let him move in with me. He came up one Saturday morning and when he was released from the transporter just took a look around and started giving orders.

He now monitors every facet of our home life and even decides how much time we should spend on the computer. I will get some pictures up as soon as I can and Hobo approves the choices.
