Giz: Six years since last message to the world. That makes me wat, older than 6? I is an olde man? Nooooo. We are still three. Buttns was only heer a little wile. I forgot all about her in that loooooong time. Whare is she?

I dont think Skweeky feels 2 good anymore. She gets speshal treets now and she walks slow. Maybe is her thats getting olde. I dont want her to feel bad. But I doesn't know what to do to help.

I am still king of the hill tho. That is important. I knows a lot more words and sounds now. I can have long talks with peeple now. But I doesn't think they reely understand what I say. They just talk back to be talking back. I wish they wood know what I reely meen. (sigh)

Treat Time at the Parker Cat Ranch

Squeaky: It's not fair! Buttns and Gzmo and Meme won't let me get any treets! 

Not so bad after all

Miss Mimi hiding in the sink

Miss Mimi: She put me in the littel caj this morning and then wouldn't lissen when I wailed and cried. But when she opened the caj, I wasn't at home anymore (This isn't Kansas, Toto). So I was reelly careful about coming out. She was thare with me, though, with another person. As soon as that other one left, I came out and she told me it would be OK. And it was. Then the other came back in, but she was nise, too. I think they pinched me or something, but I couldn't see what it was. Somebuddy blokked my eyes, but then they tooked it off. I got back into the caj as kwick as I cood, and finally I was home again. Yay. I was so happy to be home. I reely was. Then the lady came with her human kittens. I had to go in the room with the big chare and wait. It was so skary. So much noise and so much running around like crazy things.

Wait, I think me and Gizmo and Squeeky run around like crazy things sometimes. Like every night. Hm. But we don't make so much noise when we do it. That's  the difference. I just like to run sidewayz across the arm of the green long chair thing. What, you cant run sidewayz? I bet you can. Try it sometime.

Typical evening at home

Well, where's mine?

Gizmo Le Grand: Hey, I heer something outside. I heer a dor. It's the front dor. No, it's a thing outside dor. Oh, it's the front dor now. She's home! Hey, Mimi,  Squeeky, she's home.

Mimi in the Sink

Ms Mimi: She came home and I headed to the sink to hide. She looked at me, and I almost jumpz down, but then I thawt I wood just hide in the sink. I wuz sure I fooled her, but she got up and headed to the sink. Quick, I jumpz into the sink and hunkered down. But then she grabbd me and put me on the floor. Humph. Not very dignified at all. So I headz to the room with the giant soft chair. He was in there, but the door wuz shut. I cried, and what do you know? She came and letz me in. And she also did givez us treatz before that. I don't know if I tolj you, but I luvz treatz.

Gizmo Le Grand: I had to talk to her a lot to get those treatz, Mimi. Didnt you hear me? I said to her, "Hay, wherez our treatz?" (mowowow, mrrrr, mrble) and she said yes, I see you. Then I told her, "Hay, did you here me? We  want our treatz now." (moble, mrb, grmbl) She said yes, I know. But she still didn't get them. Then I said,

Ms Mimi: Gizmo, hush. We heard the hole thing.

Gizmo: Hay, whoz the alpha male cat around here anyhow?

Squeaky: Prrrr. She did give us treatz and we liked them. And she petted me and told me I am sweet. Prrrrrr. And he brushed me and made my back feel better. PRrrr.

Mimi and the YAMAHA keyboard

Mimi: I wuz just trying to see what she wuz duing, but she chased me away. Little colored things all over the bumpy white tabel. And a jar of water. I wuz going to grab a drink but she make me move. So I jumped onto the white and black striped shelf, but it made a noise! It wuz yelling at me. Wuz it saying to get off? I don't know. But it scared me. It kept yelling and growling wen I put my paw down. Where ever I put my pawz, it howled or growled or yelled. It was awful.

Will I stay down off it next time or find a different place to jump? Stay tuned for next episode.

The Talking Box

Gizmo smiles

Gizmo LeGrand: She comed in the door talking to that little blue box thing. There's no peeple in it, I looked. Nothing moving. But I heared peeple voices coming from it. I hav been talking to her sinse she camed home, but she wuz just talking to the box thing. And I heared voices coming out of it. I jumpd up on the table to look at it, but she made me get down. She didn't want to feed us catz but she finly did. Then I told her to giv us treets. And she did. So I gess I had a prety good day, dont you thnk so?
